This dude is one of the best out there, if not the best. I love how he knows when and where to show off in a song, and also where to hang back and let other parts of the band take the spotlight. He is a master at his craft for sure.

[@jaredfitzgerald6878]

He's definitely up there in my number 1. Following close is Flo Mounier. Those two are just completely nuts.

[@simonvidlund4077]

The speed and control is insane

[@LoggR84]

+Simon Vidlund It is. This guy is on a level that's just ridiculous! And for most of the video he looks like you could ask him about his day and he would gladly reply with a smile on his face "Good! Good. Had breakfast, wrote some drum tracks, took my kid to school, then destroyed a drum kit by just staring at it. Was good, thanks for asking!"

[@LoggR84]

+Patrick Hatch Why did I never get a notification about your post?! Huh... Mysterious. Well, I am very happy for you, good sir, for having this opportunity. I'd give an arm and a leg to meet those guys, especially Dirk as I am a drummer myself. My very lame claim to fame in this regard is that Strid once pointed at me at a concert for - I don't know - just being there I guess ^^ So yeah. But I imagine the guys to be very chill (from what I saw on the making of The Ride Majestic). Nice guys, killer (!!) music, cold beer - paradise.

[@emersonvieira2533]

1:16 DIRK BLAST!!!

[@HugoRibeiroDrummer]

Dirk, you should post more often!

[@ChaosPootato]

Probably one of the best, if not the best out there. HUGE props.

[@BastianThusgaard]

How is that even possible? Insane :-)

[@Osoch]

Hey Bastian, have you played this song yet? :D

[@keyboardwarria]

1:16 the famous Dirk Blast!

[@chrishunt9653]

Love the Dirk blast!

[@jotunheim295]

Insane!!!!!!

[@FlemmingsFlamma]

I have the biggest smile on my face right now.. I love your drumming :)

[@allanmalloy8266]

Every time I see a Dirk video - my day automatically stops to watch it! I love the chorus switch back and forth between the snare leading, and the bass drum leading. Such a fantastic effect!

[@kennygates1192]

There's a reason this dude is my favorite fucking drummer!

[@deceiver444]

One my favourite metal drummer ever. Speed, control, inspiration, wildness and tighter than a machine.

[@33gabyangel]

The Best drumer ever Dirk Verbeuren.

[@JustAPhaseChannel]

Absolute fucking beast. This is insane.

[@arthurbromback4143]

Def one of The Best Drummers out there today

[@magicianof1984]

Dirk you're an amazing drummer and fantastic person, I hope Dave understands and respects your talent enough to not try and strangle and conform it to what he wants like he does to everyone else that's left Megadeth

[@gregs8136]

Sublime!

[@belmaxdrummer]

Mega cool drummer ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@StigmADiabolicuM666]

That "dirk blast beat" :)

[@possibility33]

I love this drumming so freaking much mega inspirational cant wait to see soilwork live in australia next month yipeee

[@KEVDRUMMER]

those tempos made me smile :D

[@Memey00]

absolute beast

[@juusoleino6631]

holy shit that snare pops!!! dig it so much!

[@yesidsuazo3313]

Speed , power, Kill of drumers yeahhhh

[@SimoneArcOndAPiras]

fantastic!!!!

[@arthurbromback4143]

im Disappointed and depressed that Dirk left for Megadeth. As good as Megadeth may be Im much more into Soilwork and im sure they will find a worthy replacement but the chemistry in the band the last 12 years has been amazing!!! Sad to see him go.

[@rapscallion52]

imagine how much better megadeth will be if they really let Dirk loose on the new stuff though.

[@Pauly421]

Megadeth means money tho! Haha Id probably have made the same decision

[@PolishMuscle1981]

Megadeth really restrained him on the last album. I hope they break the chains on him for the next one!

[@ArlindoCardoso]

Machine!!!!!

[@bretmarzec2385]

Wow

[@leodrummer4779]

Awesome!!!!!

[@metusaalemi]

holy shit

[@GOffensive]

It really took this video for me to completely grasp the brilliance of the drumming in this song. Its a little too subtle in the studio mix. ^^

[@rycardobittencourt]

Welcome to Megadeth \m/

[@hugorezende199]

Its like putting a V8 Turbo on a skateboard. But...if he is satisfied... Soilwork will continue ??

[@juliomuniz9735]

Like 600🍻🍻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤘🏽!

[@Xavyer13]

EXCELSIOR!

[@lolh4x]

This is pretty fucking insane for a Soilwork song, dear god.

[@AmrddH]

yeee!

[@alfonsomartinez2751]

I hope we get to see footage like this for the new Megadeth record

[@PolishMuscle1981]

You could only hear 30% of what he is doing here on the album version. I REALLY wish they produced the drums a lot clearer and more upfront. Dirk is beyond amazing, and the production just mutes him.

[@erhansolhan9564]

Welcome to Megadeth! \m/

[@TheCamdenBros]

1:18 though

[@diegosilva4874]

Esse músico é foda mano! Uma dádiva pro Megadeth.

[@kanalR3DX]

The Future of megadeth ;)

[@AlexRooneyComposer]

imagine if Dirk was allowed to let lose on the next Megadeth album holy fuck that would be brutal with Kiko's amazing solos and Dirks drum lines it would be amazing

[@kanalR3DX]

Rust In Peace 2.0...

[@markozivanovic117]

Which OH mics ended up on the record? :)

[@parkarlsson4924]

mother of god

[@filippobistaffa5913]

@0:52 wait, what?

[@mikeangelfriaz2067]

WOW MASTERMIND................WELCOME TO INSANITY MEGADETH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@morejelloplease]

dirk leaving soilwork is like lopez leaving opeth, portnoy leaving dream theater, ryan getting kicked out of devin towsend lol

[@morejelloplease]

dont show this to dave mustaine, he'll realize that he's holding you back. which i'm being sarcastic, i wish you never left soilwork , you were the perfect fit, either get dave mustaine to play some hard metal, blast beats, etc or get out of megadeth !

[@Izztana666]

Sad to see him leave Soilwork for Megadeth. With Megadeth music, he is not able to show much change of beats and variance on each segment of the songs. Megadeth musics are so linear that I find myself get bored after listening through half way of their songs..

[@wintermute9000]

Man, that snare sounds like getting punched in the face by Zeus

[@19Stride]

What ??

[@sexypoulpe]

That low snare makes me so uncomfortable

[@MaLiXs88]

dirk Tu est une bête (I think remember you also think french ??? if not your a beast Lol)

[@alfredferrarini6781]

wish i could say what i feel but this day and age some talk and dont know never mind@@#$%^&*(&RR

[@larryhinderberger2441]

The Talent is Real, get it? Megadeth's The Threat is Real. no? I'll leave...

[@NaryaNoein]

This drummer is too much for megafail... nowadays megadeath, I mean
