@@Bpm_2300 I would love to hear them play some songs live again, but, with Dave having an operation on his throat, I am afraid that is not going to happen... :(
His drumming style is similar to Gar but his body movement reminds me Menza. Now that just perfect combo, he got both elements of Megadeth two best drummers.
@@Lulustucru2393 eh, I couldn’t care less for Drover and Broderick. Those dudes were super boring. They did their jobs, sure, but man they are not very interesting to listen to (though I will give an extra point to Broderick cause his technical skill is absolutely bonkers. Dude is a wizard)
To be honest Chuck was pretty darn close, especially since he was Gars tech for a while so he learned a lot I’m sure. Nick was a fantastic drummer but he had a very different style. Dirk is pretty close to Gar so I’d say you’re mostly right
I liked chucks playing , I do think nick menza was the drummer they needed back in the late 80s ,he was experienced and had a groove that embellished the guitars and bass very well ,especially when it came down to them writing new material , rust in peace has some of the grooviest thrash metal drumming in the world .
its fun when youre good. ive been drumming for five years and playing this song for probably 1 or 2 and im still learning about it. gar is one of the best drummers of all time. dirk is the only drummer ive ever seen cover gar and play close to his playing.
the best fit to megadeth. by technique, attitude, personality, look, every little and big things. i couldn't imagine someone better to be behind megadeth's drum kit. tighter eye of chris adler to build that bridge. Dirk, i f...love you man...
Great ! In my opinion, one of the most difficult and complicated songs of Megadeth to play on drums... I think, it's time to see the legendary "My Last Words" from you, Dirk. I don't think that any fan of this band would deny to see this song with your performance.
This is the closest way to watch how Gar play this on live😢 Thank you so much to care about your fans and their answers Dirk❤ As a last wish, please do, Bad omen, or These Boots in this style of video, please🙁🙏🏻
its weird because yes, this is how gar played but its not how gar looked when he played it. ive seen videos of gar drumming it is very odd. gar is huge, approx. 6'2 with really long arms. hes super calm in his playing, his size makes the drums look like a toy and he plays them like theyre toys. he used to be called "praying mantis" because of his size and playing style
I think Dirk is very much the same body size and height as Gar and he towers above the kit when he stands. He has long legs and arms and is over 6' tall also.
I thought i'd never hear anyone play the older songs like they used to be played... But you.. You sir.. You're a master at imitating the great Gar Samuelson. Hats off to you. Phenomenal job.
Gar and Dirk are my favorite Megadeth drummers. Much respect to Nick and all the others,who have been with the Megadeth thrash machine,throughout the years.
It's really refreshing to see Gars parts played the way he played them. Dirk is the only drummer that plays them as they were recorded by Gar. Great job.
His snare rolls are second to none in the trash world.his timing, feel and Dynamics where much more advanced then the typical trash band at that time and their are few drummer that can pull this song off exactly the way gar did.dirk is on the same level.mabey even better.its hard to judge all the great drummers Megadeth had. Gar is my favorite but it is a matter of preference.these are his beats.30 years later and his work is still amazing compared to most trash bands now.
🤣😂🤣 I never really liked Drover in the band. I never understood why Dave kept him so damn long. Dave kept him in and gave him his shot because before Megadeth he hadn't played anything of significance live and after all the money and fame Drover got from being Megadeths drummer he leaves Mustaine hanging, and just left the band with Dave going WTF. This guy Dirk is the best drummer I seen in the band since Menza. Holyshit he might be the best I've ever seen in the band. So glad Adler left the band because this guy is a bad man. Perfect for Megadeth and I hope he gets to open up the throttle on this new album.
This may be a controversial opinion, but it seems to me that no matter who plays drums in Megadeth, they get throttled by Dave, almost as if he wants to keep it simple and not let anyone personality overtake his. Look at Shawn Drover, he legitimately sounded like a drum machine in Megadeth, but in Act of Defiance he actually sounds great. Same with Chris Adler, I was very underwhelmed at his playing knowing what he was capable with in Lamb of God. I hope I'm wrong
He fucking did it again. Dirk is just a monster! Megadeth have not had this perfection in a long time when it comes to the drums. Cant wait too hear Dirk crushing it on the new album
When Dirk does the doubles with a single pedal just like Gar it makes me so happy. ❤ Dirk is basically Menza + Gar and it’s everything I’ve wanted being a drummer myself heavily influenced by Nick and Gar.
Dave wrote 5 songs and stitched them together and created this "song" It is just 8 minutes of jamming. Its amazing. I dont even know how this song sounds good. It shouldn't sound good but it does
This has to be one of the greatest thrash songs ever, 4:10 onwards has to be some of the best metal of all time. It's impossible not to headbang to it.
This song - My all time favorite. Remember as a teenager cranking the volume up and watching the speakers almost jumping out of the casing. From a drummers perspective a dream - Dave wrote an anthem for the drums 😅
This is awesome!!! I hope there is a ton of double bass on the new album. This also makes me think of how great and underrated Gar Samuelson was in all of drumming.
Oh wow oh wow after listening to Megadeth for over 35 years 😳 i must say Dirk did Gar a major most excellent rendition of Good Morning/Black Friday.i approve of this with my life........
Maybe Yes but my favorite Megadeth drummers will always be Gar and Nick. Peace Sells and Rust in Peace are two of the greatest Thrash Metal albums ever released.
Gar and Nick absolutely nailed this song. Dirk has like 98% of it down,it's super fine details that's missing. It's a suuuuper hard song to nail tho. PLAY THIS LIVE AGAIN!!!!
As a more recent Megadeth fan, older works often go unnoticed. This video introduced me to this track (which by the way I had already heard) as if it were a new single. This new work, with videos of the old tracks is very interesting. I hope you can record more times like this, you and Kiko too. It will certainly add many old songs to the hearts of new fans.
You're THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS for covering Gar's legacy. Dude was a GENIUS! And for my money: you're the only one that has been able to fill 'em shoes in MegaDeth. You're right there with him as the BEST skin's man Dave has had. THANKS!
You played the WHEELS off that song my friend, smashed it, tore the fur off it. I think I saw it wobbling down the road on bare rims, not an ounce of fur, and absolutely crushed to beejeezus...and back again.
Is there ANY Deth fan that DOESN'T want to hear this live???? IS THERE??????
Yess this and bad omen
@@Bpm_2300 Abso-fucikn'lutely!!!
Yeah got to see them 2 times. No such luck. Same with five magics. And warhorse. But dint expect hed play poison was the cure that was sweet
@@Bpm_2300 I would love to hear them play some songs live again, but, with Dave having an operation on his throat, I am afraid that is not going to happen... :(
Luckily i got to hear the Rust in Peace lineup play it in 94. It was the highlight of the night I was 😲🤘
We must confess: this song is the first thing that comes to mind when we think of Black Friday. 😁
Probably why he did it lol
It's Black Friday . . . paint the Devil on the Wall!
They should play this on a loop in Walmarts across the country on Black Friday. It’s very fitting for Black Friday brawls.
Steely Dans tune and this.
it's coming again
RIP Gar Samuelson
Of all the Deth drummers he was the octopus.
Absolute beast of a drummer. This song as heavy as it is really swings because of his playing.
His drumming style is similar to Gar but his body movement reminds me Menza. Now that just perfect combo, he got both elements of Megadeth two best drummers.
Couldn’t agree more !
Ah! Good point
Agreed.
Dick and Kiko are the best thing that happened in Megadeth for a long time... No disrespect for Drover and Broderick tho...
@@Lulustucru2393 eh, I couldn’t care less for Drover and Broderick. Those dudes were super boring. They did their jobs, sure, but man they are not very interesting to listen to (though I will give an extra point to Broderick cause his technical skill is absolutely bonkers. Dude is a wizard)
The best Megadeth song. Unless there's something in the new album that can top this.
By far their best song, I think its widdly-widdlies are better than Holy Wars and Tornado's widdly-widdlies, too.
Suck it.
This song is the perfect description of what Thrash Metal is supposed to be. Holy Wars and other RIP are good but this song alone is mega.
Might be my fav as well
Totally agree! Their perfect song!
Great thrash but I wouldn't call it their best.
Gars drumming lives through dirk!
2 amazing drummers!
Respect Dirk
As a drummer who is a huge fan of the Gar period of the band, Dirk is the only drummer Dave has ever had that does Gars playing complete justice.
Totally agreed.
Gar has the best drum style for me
To be honest Chuck was pretty darn close, especially since he was Gars tech for a while so he learned a lot I’m sure. Nick was a fantastic drummer but he had a very different style. Dirk is pretty close to Gar so I’d say you’re mostly right
@@krafgeetar4013 Chuck was amazing live, and unfortunately doesn't get the accolades that he should. Very under-rated drummer.
I liked chucks playing , I do think nick menza was the drummer they needed back in the late 80s ,he was experienced and had a groove that embellished the guitars and bass very well ,especially when it came down to them writing new material , rust in peace has some of the grooviest thrash metal drumming in the world .
As a non-drummer, this seems like it would be a fun song to play, especially building the atmosphere in the beginning.
its fun when youre good. ive been drumming for five years and playing this song for probably 1 or 2 and im still learning about it. gar is one of the best drummers of all time. dirk is the only drummer ive ever seen cover gar and play close to his playing.
Dirk, Kiko...I can't ask for anything else. Megadeth sounds incredible! Can't wait for their new release
You can tell Dirk is a FAN of the band and has amazing energy, so glad he is in the band
Dirk you are the only Megadeth drummer that comes close to Gar and you play his parts perfectly with his swing.
Congratulations Dirk!! This is Megadeth...
This is my favorite song about the busiest shopping day of the year.
the best fit to megadeth. by technique, attitude, personality, look, every little and big things. i couldn't imagine someone better to be behind megadeth's drum kit. tighter eye of chris adler to build that bridge. Dirk, i f...love you man...

My last words is my favourite song. Fully agree to seeing that video. Happy new years
They played it all Hellfest 2018 with Dirk. You can watch it.
This is the closest way to watch how Gar play this on live😢
Thank you so much to care about your fans and their answers Dirk❤
As a last wish, please do, Bad omen, or These Boots in this style of video, please🙁🙏🏻
Bad omen for sure

Dirk is a true gentleman and a beast on drums 🇧🇷

Damn dude KILLED IT
Sería increíble escuchar esto en el mes de abril que regresa MEGADETH a Colombia ❤😊
Stay Heavy 🤘
Gar would've been proud!
Awesome, the actual drummer for the band doing a play through. Thank you!
Dirk is precise as a machine, awesome! 🔥🔥
It’s a damn shame Dave won’t play this live!! I mean I understand his position but man it rips!! Dirk is so good!!
Gar and Dirk are my favorite Megadeth drummers. Much respect to Nick and all the others,who have been with the Megadeth thrash machine,throughout the years.
It's really refreshing to see Gars parts played the way he played them. Dirk is the only drummer that plays them as they were recorded by Gar. Great job.
Complete control of the mechanism! Dirk & his noise machine🤘💪
It's skillful perfection❤
Chris and Gar were ludicrous.
Gar seemed to keep a certain amount of air in his playing. Kept it from getting claustrophobic. His snare sound!
But, he filled up the room with his ghost notes, especially in songs like Wake up Dead.
His snare rolls are second to none in the trash world.his timing, feel and Dynamics where much more advanced then the typical trash band at that time and their are few drummer that can pull this song off exactly the way gar did.dirk is on the same level.mabey even better.its hard to judge all the great drummers Megadeth had.

I see you, and I'm waiting...🤘😎👍
Grooves like Gar back in the day! Damn!
R.I.P. Gar Samuelson.... you got a great cover here with Dirk the Dragon Slayer!
You just out Gar’d Gar! Never thought I’d hear that let alone see it! Go Dirk looking forward to the new record!
Meanwhile, Shawn Drover is sitting calmly, barely moving and has a fan blowing on him.
LMFAO drover’s probably my least favorite Megadeth drummer as well
🤣😂🤣 I never really liked Drover in the band. I never understood why Dave kept him so damn long.

@@alexroyster182 1- Dave kicked Drover himself, 2- why is Adler a bad man?
@@sandoramix9466 I think he means Dirk is a bad man, lik badass
@@sandoramix9466 Drover left?
Best drummer ever in Megadeth, love you Dirk, i cant wait to hear your sound in the new álbum
The same
I expect them to get even heavier now that Dirk is on drums.

We need more playthroughs🤘🏻
Flawless drumming 🔥
Such an under appreciated song…
Incredible. We have not heard these songs played like this in a very long time.
When Dirk does the doubles with a single pedal just like Gar it makes me so happy. ❤ Dirk is basically Menza + Gar and it’s everything I’ve wanted being a drummer myself heavily influenced by Nick and Gar.
Holy shit this is super good. Shame there's not much good footage of gar playing these songs, but dirk does it perfectly here
AMAZING, GREAT SONG
Dave wrote 5 songs and stitched them together and created this "song" It is just 8 minutes of jamming. Its amazing. I dont even know how this song sounds good. It shouldn't sound good but it does
Mustaine is a riff machine
For me, it just proves how creative Gar was. Absolutely amazing, mate! Thanks for it
This has to be one of the greatest thrash songs ever, 4:10 onwards has to be some of the best metal of all time. It's impossible not to headbang to it.
This song - My all time favorite. Remember as a teenager cranking the volume up and watching the speakers almost jumping out of the casing. From a drummers perspective a dream - Dave wrote an anthem for the drums 😅
Буду любить этот шедевр до конца своих дней!!!!
I've watched this about 30 times! Dave's vocals then sound like his about to kick your ass. We got a lot of that from dystopia too.
Dirk puts the blast n my black friday
Check out Dirk’s drumming in the band Soilwork. One of the best drummers ever. IMO.
This man's is phenomenal. Filling big shoes under an immortalized legacy. Hope he's here to stay.
See Dirk doing those amazing solos of Gar, i can said Dirk is the legacy of Gar & Nick.
Wow. This is total bad-assery!
Technic, passion and talent. A truly great drummer. I can tell he is a real Megadeth fan, you can see how he enjoys the song.
It's FIST BANGING MANIA!!!! Dirk is awesome! 🥁
Expertly played and very tasteful tribute to the original drum track. Bravo!
This is awesome!!! I hope there is a ton of double bass on the new album. This also makes me think of how great and underrated Gar Samuelson was in all of drumming.
Weird tip if you want more of Gars swing hold the sticks right at the end.
Impeccable 🤘
This guy plays brutal, he's not messing around.
These playthrough videos are awesome
Dirk, just tell Dave to more often include this great song to MEGADETH play list. 🤟🤟
We've been waiting for this for a LONG TIME you dont understand how happy I am right now
This performance is perfect! 👏🏼🎭 Juanmanuel G. C. from Argentina 🇦🇷
All the best for the new album ❤️
Oh wow oh wow after listening to Megadeth for over 35 years 😳 i must say Dirk did Gar a major most excellent rendition of Good Morning/Black Friday.i approve of this with my life........
Dirk you should record an album with all these drum playthroughs ... they are stunning!
AMAZING! RIP Gar. First time watching/listening somebody do justice to such an underrated drummer. Great job man!
The fucking Gar Samuelson lives in you brother awsome job
This is just too much fun!
Thank you so much for this! Never got a chance to see gar play but this is was a masterful rendition
The most technically talented drummer Megadeth has ever had.
That’s because he used to play in Soilwork.
I would leave that to Vinnie colaiuta, but dirk comes close, he's extremely talented
@@ThisCreepingLife I think he was talking about Gar,
Jimmy Degrasso is another
Maybe Yes but my favorite Megadeth drummers will always be Gar and Nick. Peace Sells and Rust in Peace are two of the greatest Thrash Metal albums ever released.
Kick ass album and kick ass drum work brother 🤟🤟🤟
I like Dirk's drumming on this song, he and Nick play it awesome.
Knows all the old stuff and it’s gonna make new stuff and always be a name for Megadeth. That’s awesome
Dirk...u are a beast!!! Keep rocking!!🔥🔥🔥
Dirk is the best drummer since gar. Holy fugging shit hes so spot on. Nothing but praise and well wishes to em😮😮
My all time favorite MEGADETH songsand Dirk slams it!! You're the MEGADRUMER!!🤘🤘
That was the most "Gar" this song could hope to be in 2020. I'm kinda stunned. Loved it Dirk!!
Friggin’ fantastic...
Served the song and Gar’s efforts very well indeed
Job well done
Gar and Nick absolutely nailed this song. Dirk has like 98% of it down,it's super fine details that's missing. It's a suuuuper hard song to nail tho. PLAY THIS LIVE AGAIN!!!!

such a great sounding drum recording and performance!
I’m back watching this … amazing Dirk 🔥 🥵
That was freaking awesome!
Great playing, great quality (both video and audio). The drums sound REALLY good man.
Damn this was beautiful to watch and listen to :D thank you for this, Dirk!
Killer performance, great tune!
This brings a year to my eye. Dirk is absolutely flawless, but just remember that Gar IS Megadeth.
Dirk, you totally rock, my brothet!
Bad Omen please 🙏
Oh yeah bad omen had some really cool fills and parts, especially towards the end
pure thrash!
You played the WHEELS off that song my friend, smashed it, tore the fur off it. I think I saw it wobbling down the road on bare rims, not an ounce of fur, and absolutely crushed to beejeezus...and back again.
superb mayhem my super drumgod hero
Holy shit, mad respect, one hell of a workout!..
