Gar & Menza can finally rest in peace.

[@ayahuasca_dud]

*rust in peace

[@mahbubulhassan5132]

It feels complete

[@mahbubulhassan5132]

He hardly misses any beat

[@budtron183]

Dirk is the perfect drummer for them. I miss him in Soilwork but his student filled in well there. This is where he belongs.

[@truth-or-nothing]

Fuck yeah indeed Love Dirk for coming through. ❤❤❤❤

[@WeSRT4]

Much better fit than any other drummer since Nick!

[@rollforeverderbs]

Jimmy DeGrasso was a great drummer too though.

[@rafaelbittencourt630]

Of course, but nothing like Menza! He was like, meant to be there... I don't know haha This guy will bring up this phrase again: "the drummer from Megadeth is absolutly insane!"

[@11DNA11]

+rollforeverderbs Jimmy was awesome. I just hated his bassdrum tone.

[@user-bo6dk9rx6z]

Gilitar We also know Rust In Piece isn’t one and only absolute masterpiece of Megadeth in musical aspect. The album itself is too Marty and Nick oriented. - From a shitless slave region of humanism being suffered under hoon-tribe-originated-parasitism and kiki'she' collectivism which is known as the name 'Korea', whose dwellers always steals and begs from Japan's original history which clearly inherited sincere humanity in Ancient Cudara more than its 'original' dwellers in hometown.

[@Elayaass]

man I think Cris Adler was a even better fit to megadeth than Dirk. I think he brought back the heaviness that megadeth kinda lost (I'm just talking about the drum parts, not the music in general) since Nick left the band. It's sad that he left the band only one year or so after he joined but honestly Dirk is one hell of a drummer and it seems that he's fully commited with the band and that's always a possitive thing

[@dcs2690]

Finally a drummer that doesn't look dead (aka Drover). Spot on drumming, man. RIP Menza!

[@MireWolf29]

+D.R.Caleb Tell that to guys like Gene Hoglan and Bobby Jarzombek.

[@MireWolf29]

ÁUß Code That was probably from the heroin.

[@jackdaniels9296]

Wow. With Dirk and Kiko, Megadeth has huge potential. I hope Dave lets them have creative freedom on the next album. We might see a top-tier megadeth album again, like the Peace albums.

[@eartheternal3565]

Jack Daniels Peace sells: not that cool Rust in Peace: very cool

[@huffingfarts]

Peace Sells is my favorite. So fuckin heavy and Poland's solos were sick as shit.

[@eartheternal3565]

TREVOR BARTON As a Flat earther I have no problem disagreeing with a consensus. You guys are all wrong.

[@eartheternal3565]

TREVOR BARTON Hey Trevor, We live in a democracy where our currency is not only worthless but includes a value of debt with each bill printed and borrowed from the federal reserve - an internationally owned institution that's not part of America. Also, the two presidents who tried to go against this slave system, Lincoln (Green back currency) and Kennedy (Silver coins actually made of silver), were murdered for their efforts. So do you really think majority rules this democracy or are the few who own everything on this earth the ones who get to make the rules? If you think majority rules you need to stop listening to Megadeths music and actually start paying better attention to Dave Mustaine's words. He has been talking about these things for way too long - and apparently nobody is listening.

[@lucas11__]

@@eartheternal3565 I get it, but are you a flat earther?

[@metfan4l]

Dirk has been absolutely killing it with Megadeth. (Please don't steal him completely away from Soilwork though!) :D

[@thelastrites1260]

bad news, he's now the new full-time drummer of Megadeth

[@Tyrant175]

Too late, haha

[@metfan4l]

Oh for fucks sake...

[@Michael_Michaels]

I think that's a bit too late... By now he's already an official _Megafart_ member.

[@Kanner18]

was this the right decision, i don't know.. hard for Soilwork :/

[@predomir]

Dirk can catch Nick's vibe so good

[@killer1one1]

RIP Nick Menza! This drum part is absolutely killer, and Dirk nails every last nuance. Well done sir.

[@luckylicks3497]

Dirk is VERY good news for Megadeth.

[@CMFL77]

Dirk DESERVES this spot with Megadeth. Having a lot of people think you're a world class drummer on the internet does not pay bills or put food on the table. No reason to be upset with him or say Megadeth is beneath his talent. It's a good match - scratch that- a GREAT match, Band sounds amazing now! Sucks losing a prominent member of a favorite band (some of us are Megadeth fans after all haha) but you should be happy for him for taking this opportunity!

[@AdamYoudell]

Dirk's the ultimate professional. I'm sure this gig is a cakewalk for him but he plays a flawless rendition of the original drum part, nothing more. Also great rendition of the guitar solo!

[@julioluiz]

This tune is nothing but perfect! And yes, this guy on drums is killer!

[@apexHasu]

that drum intro was so good

[@JoCbreakdown]

Ladies and gentlemen Let’s be the witness of one of 3 best metal drummers in the fckg WORLD!

[@EmoDKTsuchiya]

I was Megadeth fans for a few yeara before my girlfriend introduced me to Soilwork. Dirk made me an instant fan. If you had told me then that Dirk be the drummer for Megadeth now I wouldn't believe it but God damn it Its a dream come true.

[@ACOL047]

Dirk plays Menza's parts flawlessly... What a pleasure to hear... Great drummer.

[@BradBag]

This line up is absolutely legendary.

[@inot1105]

So tight. Made me do a standing ovation :)

[@fuckingitupagain]

Congrats on the fulltime Megadeth gig. You've been killin it

[@theargentinita]

OMG,Dave,please...Can he stay in Megadeth??? Btw greetings from Argentina :)

[@TornadoOfSouls777]

You gotta love the Dirkmeister

[@Baraka_Obama_]

Congrats on being the full time drummer of Megadeth! You're a BEAST!

[@drummerw17]

Mega - Excellent Dirk!!!

[@gipsyavenger9829]

You know Dirk is thinking of 10 different ways to play this song every night he play's it. Monster player !

[@renaatsenechal]

The last drum cam I watched was from 1990, love this one

[@PETRAS_]

Wow man, Dirk and Kiko are the best musicians Megadeth have had in years. It gives new fresh air to the band. Sounds great. Congratulations Dirk

[@jonathanpontiochancerel9401]

Simply amazing. Animal drummer. It's great to see an amazing musician from the underground to get a gig like this one. Cheers !

[@jozza177]

soilwork isn't underground though

[@eartheternal3565]

That must be such a trip for Dirk, watching Dave's signature hunched pose from behind, with the Flying V's offset tail sticking out from beside him. Congratulations on the gig!

[@christopherrey6288]

I must say this is the best drummer Megadeth has has since Nick Menza. Not saying that Degrasso or Drover weren't good but Dirk has the technicality and swing of Menza and Samuelson.

[@julietdTV]

Sick drummer and amazing show! I was there. Glad you played one of my favorite songs

[@APESHITgoon]

Dirk, you never fail to prove that you're a god. Scarve4life!

[@1983electric]

Amazing drumming I'm so excited

[@darkriff777]

This dude is badass! Welcome to Megadeth, Dirk.

[@xXAscendingPhoenixXx]

Agreed. His playing is so on point!

[@carlostexaspit]

RIP nick menza, thnx dirk for the master piece

[@alpermemioglu7699]

Wow - that was flawless! Hope he joins Megadeth full time. What an incredible talent!

[@enzocorrales9788]

Dirk’s double bass are absolutely mind blowing, every beat is so precise!! TOTALLY BEAST

[@gbirdo4718]

Sounds fucking awesome. So much energy in Dirk’s playing. Im a drummer and when I see Dirk, I wana go play my drums after.

[@CeciShaw]

That was awesome Dirk! Nick would be proud.

[@DushyantsCHANNEL]

RIP Nick Menza

[@fsrsaa]

I have been a Megadeth fan since peace sells and this lineup is as good as they have ever had. Dystopia is the best album they have made since RIP in my opinion. This man is an absolute beast on the drums.

[@SuperballBG]

Nice one, Dirk! Hope to see more of these :)

[@rickyrodriguez08]

Welcome to Megadeth Dirk, i wish you the best luck in the world!!! Excellent job man!

[@superterrificthuggyhour6008]

Love your style man! You actually play the songs how they're supposed to be played.

[@enricocid]

Great night , thank You Dirk, thank You Megadeth!!!

[@ThrashinGames]

Megadeth never dissapoints to bring excellent musicians into the band this guy is rad.

[@sullybiker6520]

I really like these as you get a lot of the natural kit sound before all the digital signal processing the front of house hears. The snare and toms sound great.

[@HnKRys]

Love this song so much! You smashed it Dirk!! Well done bro! 🤘

[@VaeVictis4781]

killer!! Dirk is a fantastic drummer

[@bobking7347]

Its great that he doesnt even have to try for this stuff, so hes free to add his own flare to it all, and thats amazing, hes really having a blast.

[@enboomer]

hell yeah man! one of my fav's :)

[@28noch]

Great job Dirk!! Nice sounds and groove.

[@macdeath69]

can't wait for next Megadeth Album with this awesome line-up.

[@jmetalskinz]

They just snagged themselves one of the best drummers in metal today. I am beyond saddened that he left Soilwork because I like them eons more than Megadeth, but I'm way stoked for Dirk! A drummer with his skill level deserves to be more recognized and successful! This is an amazing opportunity!

[@xcallofthektulux]

Badass! I assume whomever disliked this video did so on accident because your performance was great.

[@ZaxDrumsandGolf]

Thanks for the drum cam upload sounds freaking awesome!!

[@mrolympia2774]

You deserve all the best brother! 🇧🇷🤘

[@prabalnepal9119]

With respect to gars and nick Dirk is one of the best megadeth drummer.

[@Awonderchild]

I MISS THE WARM EMBRACE I FELT

[@floorlamp]

Awesome drummer, looking forward to seeing Megadeth in concert.

[@havardsolberg590]

Amazing perfect for Megadeath.

[@rickyrodriguez08]

Grandioso Megadeth!!!

[@russellcutler9600]

that was awesome dirk havent felt that energy since nick menza respect

[@andreatine101]

i was there , amazing

[@zhaben_]

Can't admit that Kiko is totally destroyed this one of the hardest solos of all. His notes sounds reminds me a machine gun. And he did it with joy and fun... This is incredible.

[@davebike]

DIrk!! So awesome to see you play this!

[@MarcosThompson]

Absolutely perfect drumming, as always. I'll miss you playing for Soilwork tho... Cheers!

[@malemanjulpax2155]

Im looking forward what Dirk can bring to next Megadeth's album

[@FaqUrNwoBS]

Heck yeah Dirk

[@BrenainnJordan]

freaking machine! solid AF!

[@satmedown]

So much control

[@andres.moore997]

Perfect tempo! this is how megadeth drums sounds!

[@Shid_pants]

Are you going to bring blast beats to Megadeth, Dirk?

[@themetalbutt2598]

That wouldn't work in Megadeth

[@delxmax]

shinglam szeto They could put it in the 5 Magics chorus. You know, "Thigh Master..." Lol

[@jannevaatainen]

It doesn't work in Testament eather, but there it is on the latest albums with Hogland. ;)

[@arglbargl]

haha i thought i was the only person who sang it as thigh master

[@sirbattlecat]

Why would you want that?

[@KickinItTogether]

Please still be a part of Soilwork!! Surely MD can share! 😩😩😩😩

[@MEOWMEOWCATSCATS1010]

that was fantastic!

[@voffie]

Spot on!

[@reachrika]

Great drumming Dirk !!

[@Hugovmonteiro]

Flawless!!!

[@fabriziopanzini8441]

Dirk you are a train...very good! I was there!

[@euronymous29]

Dirk beautiful beautiful!

[@Elayaass]

I wanna listen to the new album!! you and Kiko bring so much cool thing to the table, I'm very excited. Let's all just hope that Dave get well and he can finish the recording with no issues (if you guy haven't finished already)

[@Digoloureiro1]

Wowww...Monster!!!

[@tonywallstreet]

Killer Dirk...you rule bro!! \m/

[@rubengarzajr7825]

I can picture Nick back there! Great song and Dirk ain't no joke btw!

[@FFF502]

great performance !

[@EstevanDrummer]

Awesome!

[@Fabrecogroetaers]

Hello, Dirk! Greetings from Brazil! Congratulations on your career. Soilwork is my favorite band at this very moment.

[@rodrigorc4752]

I'm also from Brazil and i second your opinion. :P Have you seen the song "Crater" by Earthside with Bjorn Strid on vocals? Epic song!

[@Fabrecogroetaers]

Earthside? Nunca ouvi. Vou checar isso aí. Obrigado!

[@rodrigorc4752]

Fabrecogroetaers Cara eu fui pra um show do Soufly + Soilwork em Baltimore ano passado.. Essa banda tocou lá como suporte.. Bjorn Strid fez uma participação ao vivo na musica "Crater" que ele gravou.. É uma banda prog muito boa.. O cara do Sevendust(o negao) também participou em outra musica.. Eles gravaram o CD no mesmo estudio na Suécia que gravou os ultimos cds do Soilwork e acabou de gravar o do Sepultura, com o produtor Jens Bogren. Que por sinal gravou o ultimo do Angra, Secret Garden. Produtor muito bom.

[@southsidemichael386]

I'm a huge Megadeth fan, my favorite band since 85 when I first heard Killing, and adding Dirk and Kiko to the lineup was an awesome move on Mustaine's part. I really think these four guys together are going to create magic! Maybe, just maybe, they could top Rust In Peace? I don't know. Only time will tell! Long live Megadeth!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@ironsack2273]

People keep talking about Dirk and Soilwork...while good, he needs to go back and work for Devin Townsend!

[@jozza177]

DTP is fine with RVP as their drummer, he's a beast as well

[@scottriddle5468]

Killer drummer, Megadeth has been my metal fix for ever.

[@12Daze]

Dave, don't get rid of this guy. And thanks for letting him cam-up for his channel.

[@schwarg]

God damn they still sound great

[@ramiropiedrabuena3892]

wow, great job man

[@dandevil75]

Omg Dirk tu est une machine...

[@gabrielarama5104]

Welcome to the Megadeth family!

[@DustyGlandon]

THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE, DIRK. THIS IS WONDERFUL.

[@brandoncook2560]

Really nice to see a Megadeth drummer at the level of Menza. Aggressive and intense. Killer.

[@ShepherdIndia]

Nailed it!

[@sponklong2007]

good job dirk................dont know much about you but men you got it..............megadeth is in a new level!!!!
