RIP Nick. What a Drummer.

[@SimoBG]

What an amazing drummer.

[@onerandombruh]

Agreed.

[@brayanmelendez4415]

When you see others play Take no prisioners it seems to be not thaaaaat fast, but when you try to play, the song its fast as fuck.

[@mikesrandomchannel]

After seeing Dirk on Drumeo he’s fast becoming my favorite drummer, period.

[@somethingelse04]

[@behindthen0thing525]

He's incredible

[@gojirafan6666]

Exactly what megadeth needed... his style is adaptive and very executed. So good. Just like how Art Cruz filled that gap for L.O.G not having Chris Adler as their drummer

[@AdamRocksOut]

@@gojirafan6666agreed

[@MaksMysli]

What a beast 🔥 My fav Megadeth drummer ever

[@thisischavez]

He is a badass but remember that Nick Menza wrote those drum lines.

[@MaksMysli]

@@thisischavez I know, those lines are iconic. Gar, Nick and DIrk are the best drummers in Megadeth's history. Nevertheless Dirk's drum trucks on the newest record are soooo good that I prefer him the most

[@santafejboy2]

This is great but don’t forget Vinnie Colaiuta!

[@KendoSwordsman]

Killer drummer . I'm sure Dave is stoked to have him. He's fluid and he's powerful .

[@WarmachineCAN]

Absolutely brilliant! Dirk is The Man! Nick would be very proud!

[@Jc21112]

Dirk being the usual beast that he is. Also, those toms sound sooo good!

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

So resonant and he hits them with such power. Would be a treat to be in the room with him whilst he’s playing.

[@Aaron_French]

I like how they censored shit but not at the end where it's most prominent 😂

Checked the comments to see if someone had also noticed it. I was not disappointed. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@njsdrum21]

[@josehuaman6603]

Now I want to see Dirk playing the whole Rust in Peace album. 🤘

[@somethingelse04]

He should do playthroughs of the first four albums in full. That would be amazing

[@ShrkBiT]

I saw those classics cymbals in the top down shot for the first time and I actually laughed out loud. Not because they look bad or weird, but because they look AMAZING. I know aesthetics are the last thing to take into consideration when shopping for cymbals, sound is everything, but these looks WILD and they sound great too! I didnt know this series, they are by far the best looking cymbals I've seen, what a sick look!

[@mikesrandomchannel]

Have to agree on that, they look so sick!

[@joserodriguez6561]

Perfect drummer for Megadeth. 🤘

[@archhereticone]

Dirk was great in Soilwork, still killing it!

[@ericsterk9939]

Great drummer!

[@shredhead99]

Well done Dirk!

[@pipschannel1222]

Rest In Peace, Nick!

fuck .. note by note with a tad extra groove .. insane

[@juniorperez4908]

That double hi-hat beat is Nick signiture and Dirk plays it correctly unlike Jimmy and Shawn.

Not everyone can afford playing for Megadeth... That's a fact!☢️

[@Nobiemon]

Wait, what version of the track is this? It's definitely not the horrid 2004 remaster, with the new voice tracks, but some bits DO sound like it...

[@robnhood1416]

Its original version without the drum track.

[@turbiromi]

GENIOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@mackinnon1488]

My man the people who give a shit stopped drumming a decade ago

[@jodgo26metal]

Stop comparing to young artist

[@cesarvaldez112975]

What! Lars invented this style. He doesn’t have to prove himself. Inventing a drumming style is one heck of an accomplishment if you ask me. Lars is having the last laugh…all the way to the bank. Go Lars!!! Been a fan of Metallica since 1988.

[@crazy-_-Beard]

Imagine if he replaced Lars. Metallica would so much better

[@somethingelse04]

[@davidperez5089]

@@blackbeansmatter1280 first two had better sound AND songs imo. BTW cool username I'm a black bean ripper myself.

[@NJTransit1985]

There is no comparison to Gar Samuelson on drums. Menza was great but Samuelson was phenomenal. Personally I also like Poland more than Friedman but I’m better at picking drummers than I am guitarists. Before you disagree with me on Gar, don’t bother, I’ve already had these feuds time and time again and there’s nothing new you’re going to throw my way.

[@Ash_Drums]

Dirk is the perfect megadeth drummer, he’s like the best of Gar and Nick

[@luisderinger840]

Thank you I've been saying this since he joined the band! Not to mention he plays all the parts note for note as it was written! True legend 🤘🤘🤘

[@caerxhan8313]

if only he doesn't look that cool because of the silly gloves but yeah other than that he's pretty good

[@frankusyoung4198]

It's different tho, at the very last part "take no **aaaaahh** shit", that bit isn't on the original

[@honigdachs.]

I think Nick Menza's drum parts on this album are a fantastic example of slick Metal drumming and Dirk truly is in his own league.

[@somethingelsedoesmatter]

Please never leave Megadeth! My favourite drummer to sit behind Dave!

[@proletariatbourgeoisie9929]

Never forget that this man recorded Juular and Deconstruction. Bro's a fucking legend

[@MirkoFustinoni]

From a technical point of view, Megadeth songs may be a walk in the park for him, but I like how he respects the parts and plays them with the right groove and intention. Dirk is a master in metal drumming!

[@ddwezel]

#truth bro!!

[@mramenlordi3098]

He recorded Sybreed's Antares too 👌

[@behindthen0thing525]

His drumming in other bands is godly

[@erakattack]

shit his work in Scarve and Soilwork was insane even before that

[@SIRebrum]

*Nick Menza* Kicked some serious Ass on *Rust in Peace* His Kick Patterns were freaking Insane, probably 1 of the very few Drummers who could give *Dave Lombardo* a Run for the Money back then 🕊

[@leonshreds]

[@joeltallic5503]

More than nick?

[@pleasuretokill]

@@joeltallic5503 Yes. If you doubt this look up his drumming on Soilwork's album "The Living Infinite". Dirk has levels above Megadeth. While I wouldn't call this "easy mode" for him.... it is certainly nowhere near his full potential ability wise.

[@joeltallic5503]

@@pleasuretokill interesting ill check it out

[@pleasuretokill]

@@joeltallic5503 look up the track "Spectrum of Eternity" to start. Nick or Gar could not have played that on their best days. RIP to them both and they were absolutely groundbreaking drummers.

[@gbenselum]

Saw him this year. He was the happiest of the whole venue. He looks like he is having a blast playing drums.

[@mcathawk1490]

Nick Menza was fricking awesome! This was even a challenge for Dirk, who is twice the drummer Menza ever was.

Truly underrated

[@prabalnepal9119]

Thanks dirk for being in megadeth

This guy is an absolute beast!!

[@franciscomercado5663]

[@frankusyoung4198]

[@zenchan332]

AMAZING MIRACLE

[@Iesous27]

Dirk is an absolute beast. Sad he left soilwork, but if hes happy, all the power to him. I feel like he's a little under utilized in Megadeth for the talent he has.

[@erakattack]

I just look at it like this. Now he's got the cushy, high-paying corporate gig and can do what he really loves on his off-time. Just sad that we don't get to hear his creativity as regularly anymore for sure.

[@coutinhothrash666]

Hahaha people insist to compare every drummer to Lars......the man is 60 y.o. and "wrote" / recorded "And Justice For All".....what more you want??

[@KillerwhaleTRX]

Tighter than an Arizona class submarine in the Amsterdam canals.... With pin arms and legs.......No wonder im the biggest Soilwork fan!!

[@vanguard4065]

[@eamonahern7495]

I would never have thought of choking the ride cymbal. Sound engineers must like recording with Dirk.

[@johanleivasaldarriaga4366]

I think Megadeth (Mustaine) should use more the talent of Dirk, or maybe Dirk can do another Scarve album and put all his potential

[@BrieCheese-o5v]

Always looks like he is on the verge of malnutrition, and not certainly not the most graceful drumming style - but jaysus he is good.

[@kirjian]

He's so freakin cool. These drum parts are soooo tasty!!

[@ShawnFollett-s7w]

Now that was fukin insane wicket dirk🤘🤘🤘

[@JordanHowellMusic]

Please, what is the left crash , to the right of his hihats but before or in between the first and second Tom toms ??. These classics are the first cymbals on metal drummer set up, besides one or two of Matt halpern’s crashes also by merino, but his are dryer and I think even uses a benny greb ride and hats. So, dirk, what’s that cymbal?? 16 “ Oh. Wait he says all at the end. Nice product placement. Can you send me one to “ try”?.?.??

[@JordanHowellMusic]

Oh I’m totally wrong. It was a 19 inch, and then even a 20 inch on the right just above his ride cymbal! LOVE the larger, darker, cymbals, but these still crash thru like any A custom or byzance crashes I use, and even better maybe….althougg im sure yall spend $2000 mic’ing up this kit here. But . Amazing.
