Megadeth - Wake Up Dead (Drum Track)

[@lukessoundhouse9903]

Lars surely cried when he heard this at the first time

[@therealeikichionizuka]

This is one of the best comments I've ever seen.

[@anish3183]

Why? What a dumb comment.

[@jeestudent103]

So bad he's a multimillionaire and no one in Megadeth could ever be rich as him

[@megadeel]

@@jeestudent103 Taylor Swift is a multi millionaire ! So what exactly is your point ? Lars sucks !

[@ConanObrien22]

​@@jeestudent103Metallica is literally a Taylor Swift of thrash metal.

[@firkhan9242]

jazzy thrash... best shit

[@chrischoir3594]

He had the best feel and groove out of the Megadeth drummers

[@leonshreds]

rip Gar Samuelson

[@GoJays09]

Gar. Fucking. Samuelson. Best Megadeth drummer of all time. Case closed.

[@santiagomartinez5500]

what about Nick Menza?

@@santiagomartinez5500 as a drummer i can say that gar was much better than nick

[@camronbay1]

Both are fierce if you ask me.

[@metalcommand1884]

@ Nick Menza also played with Chris Poland in ohm

[@zzzhuh]

Man gar makes it easy for guitar players, you could choose any time fame on this song and realize right then what to play cause he basically makes it on drums.

[@janvyskocil9700]

ye absolutely

[@phantomlord5707]

Next level drummer. This guy not “was” but IS a legend. RIP GAR

[@zDialecticChaos]

I always felt like Gar made the songs his own on the first two records with the way he just played, and you pointed that out perfectly

[@ThatHeadbandGuy]

2:27 - Gar Samuelson, ladies and gents.

[@irishguy977]

Oh hell yes

[@cocobot90]

1:03 I like how he does the fill, then hits the cymbal and continues with the left hand (?) doing that different, shorter tom fill in triplets That always stood out in the video, too.

[@maoribrotha53]

Geez imagine how Gar felt when he heard fight fire with fire for the first time

[@zDialecticChaos]

probably laughed his ass off at how horrible lars is

[@emt5330]

He probably said I can top this. And here you go, he did.

[@cryomnia]

Fight Fire With Fire´s double bass is literally nothing compared to the triplet ride on the double bass in My Last Words.

[@dimitrisdm6997]

@@cryomnia correct

[@dimitrisdm6997]

@AgentOfOblivion really?how about Lombardo,Hoglan,Evans,Hall,Benante,Hunting,Samuelson....need more?

[@AntonioGabriele-rp1sm]

Out of all the Wake Up Dead drum covers there are no one that i myself have came across could execute the ghosted notes that you can hear when he does the snare roll and symbol hits at 2:27.

[@komputerLuek]

Mustaine himself described this as Gar's signature move. I'm no drummer, but I imagine it involves lot of hand/full arm movement and is hard to deliver at such tempo, as he was said to hit each cymbal with different hand, playing the whole sequence with alternative strokes. although I might be wrong, maybe he was talking about something else...

[@geraldinoperez6909]

i know how to do it , it´s no so hard at all

[@Shereika1]

Megadeth recently uploaded the new drummer, Dirk Verbeuren, playing it live. Look it up here on KZbin - he does a good job replicating it. I don't think Menza does it for his cymbal promo vid.

[@tricky92x]

Dirk is about as close as it comes to covering this song correctly on drums.

[@k1ngsmok378]

@@tricky92x yea dirks the GOAT

2:28 So cool!

[@f0otball41]

so unique, and so god damm awesome

Awesome drumming from a legend

[@leonshreds]

RIP GAR

[@HarvesterOfEyes91]

This is beyond insane. Thanks for posting the link!

[@WoockerSocket2]

what's that sound at 2:43? Sounds like a reversed snare or something

[@johnmaddox1712]

I was going to ask the same. It sounds to me like yeah it’s a reversed snare hit sound probably from an Eventide H3000 unit of the day. It would’ve been done post and recorded off a send track

[@johnmaddox1712]

always heard that but never realized it really till this hearing isolated, pretty cool and great production work. adds groove

[@ConanObrien22]

​@@johnmaddox1712 probably a sound effect they made on post production back then. I've never heard that part live

[@Axnemia]

Its a ghost note on the snare, hitting it rapidly but light to give the sound and feel of the old drummers like Buddy Rich

[@emt5330]

Admit it, though. You heard the rest of the instruments in your head

[@alexspreservationsociety]

Impeccable timing.

[@leonshreds]

underrated...

[@f1re5tarter]

Gar was a wizzard ❤❤❤

[@mellamoignacio]

@Tarkess i found them on internet as master tracks

[@Tarkess]

Did you rip this off Guitar Hero or something? Or do the tracks come with the remake of Peace Sells?

[@washburnepiphone]

Where did you get this???

[@mk_jdilla]

rock band

[@ydnallah1541]

all the covers of this track seem to be of menzas drum track, no one can match gar and his jazz style fills from about 228, doubt menza could do it hence why it changed

[@calebryan4467]

Andy Hall both of them are jazz drummers, just Nick was simple. In some of his songs you can hear a jazzy type of beat, like Holy Wars. That ain’t any beat, that is jazz/funk beat mixed with thrashy tones in it. Both are really great drummers. Can’t see why everyone can’t like both without having to argue who is better!

[@maxdurk4624]

Ydna Llah Nick and Gar are both different players. Nick plays that part with a totally different feel. I find it hard to see how people think Gar's version is better, though.

[@Finn_DeGreef]

0:04. 0:24

[@johnkelly-u3n]

i play guitar to this shit my own riffs

[@hall2ify]

Just listening to him playing there I'd have to say I'd prefer Menza to him I just think Menza had that bit more to his play

[@nathancartledge9185]

RIP to both of them. Very highly talented. Both crucial turning points to Megadeth

[@Bajsamajsa]

Lars fainted? dyers eve is faster but sure

[@Ryan_Thompson_Guitarist]

The drum tracks on AJFA were all edited because Lars couldn't play them all the way through without making mistakes

[@sebastianlindon8992]

@@Ryan_Thompson_Guitarist And? Even Vinnie Paul would have a cut or two edited together. Just about every band does that because getting a whole perfect take is rare even for the best musicians.

[@XiyuYang]

It's not all about "being fast", it's the groove, the feel, the urge that you wanna shake yo booty, that makes a drummer stand out. Lars can't even figure out what a paradiddle is. Any professional drummer will tell you that Lars is not a very good drummer. Pioneering, yes, influential, absolutely, technically proficient? No.
