2022 and I'm still returning to this video from time to time. Awesome performance by this increible drummer. Gotta love Dirk for sure!

13 years later I still come back and watch this absolute perfection!

[@That_Revenant_Guy]

I've lost count of how many times I've watched this, and it's still one of my favourite drum videos, still gives me goosebumps every time.

[@MachineGunMessiah]

Dammit he makes it look SOO easy!!! Dirk = Epicness beyond comprehension

[@gonadsandstrife86]

i can't stop watching this, it's just amazing. So amazing!

[@joenic2791]

DAMN...Gotta love Dirk for his immense talent.

[@fodass666]

Man I have tears in my eyes watching this...

[@sylvester3068]

Believe it or not piccolo snares goes euphoric and awesome with heavy metal......

[@BurningTheRoots]

Some of the faces dirk makes are the best, like the "holy shit i can't believe i just did that" and the always priceless "THIS IS INTENSE! glad i have a back rest on my throne" face..and the nod at the end..One of my fav drummers right now. So creative, fast yet methodical. This guy can fill a hole better than John Holmes!

[@horowitzhill6480]

Many musicians make funny faces during particularly demanding segments 😁

[@KickinItTogether]

Never gets old. What a beast.

[@skywatcher6324]

One of the best drummers I've ever seen

[@dj80550]

Saw them Saturday Houston loved it!! Dirk is a beast on drums!

[@frogbeergolfgolf]

His drum faces are almost insane as his drumming. Dirk is a true beast drummer.

[@DarktechKelly]

Asheville, NC - FTW! Such a great place to chill. Glad you got to record there, Dirk!

[@theralpha]

Dirk, Peter Wildoer, and NIck Barker are my top 3 drummers!!!!

[@MrT1o9P9i2]

Love the snare!

[@raphaelbovey5481]

What's the use of disliking that huge amount of talent and creativity ? I dont get it.

[@dufoot1]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@33gabyangel]

Dirk is somebody very awesome....a big drummer...

[@SinisterSkip]

1:33 epic facial expressions haha Dirk Verbeuren = the fucking man. One of my favourite metaldrummers of alltime. He's got the full package, prog, speed, creativity, groove, crispyness, fuck yeah!

[@amirzahirovic7648]

YES , SIR!!! You say that!!! ;-)

Absolutely incredible

[@MetalMetz88]

the neil peart of our generation. rock on man.

[@Vitius1]

PERFECT. Chapeaux!

[@BurningTheRoots]

What a great drum face Dirk has. I cant even describe the expression. Always an incredible performance and clean sounding drums, regardless of the fact that he looks like hes taking a huge crap. Wicked talent.

[@kokeyMANster]

all time favorite!

[@allpolish4u]

he is a great drummer, one of the best. i think his band holds him back.

[@Jaguar2kicks]

Fast forward 9 years, yes his band, Megadeth is holding him back

[@CesarVesvre]

J'ai vu bons nombres de cover, et ce grand Dirk demeure inégalable !

Set sounds awesome

[@kevinnnnnn69]

simply the best drummer ;D

[@btolbe12]

THIS is STUPID GOOD!!! What a stud.

[@BeyefendiMotorcu]

[@venuzguerrero]

awesome man!!!! increible!!

[@captainjakx218]

i feel like i would have mastered life if i could do that.

[@drummerliam]

@BarbababaBabarMama Either that or the trigger is being used to active a noise gate or its being used for monitoring.

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

love your drumming!

[@neonblack211]

I remember there was a time I hated skank beats, now I can't get enough of it

[@virajsheron]

einfach nur geil!!!!!!!!

[@flaviobatera]

if I could play just half of this I'd die happy...

[@jbutcher1983]

Sick AF! I love his style.

[@triviumrocker1986]

Best part at 2:13, Dirk is definitely my favorite drummer to watch besides Gene Hoglan

[@tamazilremo]

Thrilling !!!

[@redherring5532]

The outro cam, they knew what we came to see 👍

[@konradbott350]

Pure Gold. Pure. fucking. Gold.

[@Sxionix]

a true testament to tasteful metal drumming.

[@vladi_ag]

Not even one dislike! Dirk is a BEAST!

[@thraXn]

Holy crap that snare is like 3" deep or something. Piccolo ftw

[@thijsegberts9922]

Anybody know what the blastbeat at 3:25 is called?

[@iantouzel638]

such a good drummer, smooth and fast

[@85Aheadstix]

Ian Touzel Kollias is sooooo much better and faster. as is Fotis benardo of Septicflesh. kerimh.

[@iantouzel638]

technicaly your right, but for my taste and visualy i prefer Dirk, .Even if Kollias makes circle around Dirk !

[@AstrumG2V]

@ultrawaregamestudios really sharp ;-) That's true indeed, but I think they took the final raw recordings for this one. I mean, he plans his beats ahead, every single stroke, so most of this stuff matches.

[@englishman807PL]

Dirk! Welcome to Sopot of Sfinks700!!! u are incredible

[@VooDoO974]

2:11 Dirk blast technique !

[@85Aheadstix]

Willie Wanker Go watch Kollias. blows Dirk away

[@hugorezende199]

+GamerDares wins nile is booooring. Okay he is fucking fast. But man, look North compoaitions... Dirk is trully magical

[@85Aheadstix]

Hugo Rezende Nile is only boring if you don't understand their concept. Krimh is far better than Dirk.

[@user-gu3ie]

@@85Aheadstix haha..failed..so you switch to another drummer... kinda salty?

[@spanqueluv9er]

@VooDoO974 That’s not the Dirk blast. How has no one corrected you in the past 8 years? The Dirk blast is a specific pattern in 6/8, the time mark you referenced is a regular blast.🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤡👎

[@shreyas550]

it's awsome..................

[@tnbourne]

Pardon me sir; Do you know how fast you were drumming? I'm gonna have to ask you to step out of the vehicle.

[@hugorezende199]

best comment 🤣

[@DavidMcmenemy]

@1S0AR Dirk doesn't use triggers. If he were you wouldn't hear a 'blur' as you say you can, infact you'd hear the exact opposite, a distinct tone. That's pretty much the whole point in triggers, to hear each note clear when playing fast.

[@cyphdrumbum]

The two dislikes are probably Lars and Ringo hahahahaha.

[@FlemmingsFlamma]

yeah, both wildoer and verbeueren are in bands from helsingborg ;p

[@MrSpiderwhitey]

I fucking love the snare tone!!!!!

[@thathoustonkid]

amazing

[@megarust32]

Nice Darkane shirt, must be a wildoer fan eh? Great drummer, the both of them.

[@Estefimetal]

I LOVE HIM! Dirk :)

[@marcusking8507]

0:47 skank beat on a tom? Who the hell else does that? Such a creative drummer in a genre where it's easy to blend in amongst all those blast beats and double kick.

[@Etherion]

+Marcus King Most hardcore/punk bands, haha. No question the guy has his own style and approach though :)

[@MrKittycat1337]

i need to find out who these ppl are...........heart about to give out of epicnesss........damn did it agian blew out my speakers.......damn it

[@DantesTimeshare]

Unfcknreal bro.

[@papafigus]

Dirk for Dream Theater !!!!

[@AstrumG2V]

@cblaineftw Im actually workin on that short lick he plays. It's a Swiss Flam, counted one two-and-a-three four-and-a-chorus In which he plays all doubles on the snare, and the singles on the hi-hat. The lick itself is quite fluent, but the hard part is switching from hihat to snare ^^

[@Gigodem]

3:25 is just pure metal love

[@MarkHarrellJr]

I like the speed metal beats that lead with the foot instead of the punk rock style fast beats that lead with the snare. He's very tight and clean and has that swivel method down for his faster double bass. He looks like he's geekin' though...

[@Jaguar2kicks]

This was a fucking good album.

[@zimmerdrummer]

Hes so fluid. Its like hes made of water.....

[@WeirdSchizo]

@darcturus And this does not exclusively appeal to metal. Nowaydays though, if intruments are not triggered or full of FX, it's a very refreshing sound from time to time imo.

[@johndoe-bw6pj]

2:50 best part...

[@MichaelFougere]

Sickest blast beatz EVAH!

[@85Aheadstix]

Mike Fougere Kollias destroys his blast beats

[@gsxracer1977]

shut up about kollias already, this is Dirk video with real drumfeeling and groove great fills, not soulless 200mph kollias machinegun with same fills over and over!

[@otasicful]

uncredible guy!

[@94boppers]

at the "bridge" of the song, the fill at 3:10 is probably the most clean and epicest fill i've ever heard (the, ride and china fill)

[@mangaista]

It's foot technique called "swivel". It's used to play fast of course.

Swedish power right there. This one ought to be proud of!

[@dariocp87]

i prefer that song just like this, pure instrumental.. Very good..

[@nurdinnurdin8542]

Super and super

[@letloverule100]

They don't come any better than Dirk.

[@85Aheadstix]

sharkwater Wrong. Fotis benardo from Septicflesh destroys Dirk. as does Kollias, Inferno, Francesco paoli from Fleshgod apocalypse also wipes the floor with Dirk.

[@keinchu]

haha they sounds boring :))))) fotis is good but kollias or inferno :))) they play nile and behemoth with so boring drum part!!!!

[@JustAnotherDrummerJG]

Anyone know what spring tension he uses?

[@STIXAHOY]

What the fuck was that last double bass groove....... sounded a little like the groove from Fear Factory's song Slave Labor

[@darcturus]

@BarbababaBabarMama the fact about triggers is that its just another tool to create even more super human music. Having something against using triggers on bass drums is like having something against the advancement of guitar pickup responsiveness! Or having something against Axe Fx tools! Its tools like this that create the never ending advancement of metal... Along with the constantly increasing musical skill of metal musicians

[@94boppers]

u only have to listen to 0:00 to 1:24 to hear all the epic parts of drumming in this song BUT!! for more epicness listen to the whole song for it to be epicnessesser!!
