really want to see Dirk play with Devin again

[@Shawner1000]

Dirk rules I'm a long time Soilwork fan and was excited when he got the call up to join Megadeth.

[@JavierGarcia-kb1no]

Dirks Drum Work on Scarve's and Sybreed's Antres Album are Excellent!!🤘

[@Quake18]

was physically stoked when I learned it was him on the Kit on that Sybreed album

[@whrussy]

Antares was awesome, in part because of Dirk!

[@miraband]

That's true! Fantastic playing on all these records.

[@JamesFenczik]

​@@Quake18 if you haven't seen it there is studio footage of him recording his parts kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqLMhoynrNGLgrcsi=Pz7lkYFc2lHXONKt

[@StigmADiabolicuM666]

The drum jesus radiating awesomeness!!!

[@dj8]

I could watch and listen to Dirk speak for hours about anything and everything. Such a remarkable, sensitive man that truly loves what he does and is so very passionate about his many works and interests. I hope he is the last drummer Megadeth ever has or needs and I pray that he'll be with them for at least another decade. When Dave hangs up his guitar, it will be a sad day and I will be in mourning as will multitudes of his fans. I have grown that close to Dirk in a short time because I see the same passion in him. Long live Megadeth and their current lineup. God's blessings on them all!

[@captweirdbeard]

It's a shame that he didn't mention Sybreed's Antares which he did session drums on. Probably the best album from a band with a flawless discography and a sound that was very unique. His work on that album really elevated it above the rest though. Dirk's career is truly unreal.

[@saaranganand]

Love Dirk. Fantastic drummer and even better human being. 🤘

[@dj8]

not a truer word spoken

[@batteryincorporated]

Belgium represent!!!! And among so many sick things you played, that Aborted record shaped me!!! Greets from a fellow Belgian drummer.

[@KRIMHDrummer]

Dirk is such a cool guy and phenomenal drummer 🙏🏻

[@vitsekanina3741]

You are Beast to Kerim! 😎

[@marcosrenan93]

Such a genius when it comes to drumming. Love this guy he's humble and down to earth and of course recorded some great stuff throughout his life

[@ErForce1]

I was the biggest Scarve fan, Irradiant just blew my friends' and mine mind, especially the silent blast. I couldn't believe it when I got to hear Dirk's playing on my riffs on Coronary Reconstruction a few years later. Hails to one of the biggest talents and (HEARTS) in heavy metal! Cheers

[@noticeddamian]

Just found out about this guy after the mr bright side video which sent me down a rabbit hole of his work,what an amazing guy/drummer and to find out on this video he’s a big Prince fan,I love him even more 👌

[@shabbaroo7775]

Great guy, loves his music from Prince to Napalm Death...love it

[@TempleOfTheMartyrs]

this is the guy we need on our band

[@Bonzospirit]

Dirks drum work on Phazm's Hate at First Seed is tremendous !

[@23ograin53]

Sybreed - Antares

[@wileysil3313]

:chef's kiss:

[@JamesFenczik]

Shoutout to his drumming. On Sybreeds Antares. Some of the best in the biz

[@darrenbooker8144]

It's mental! And inspired me to do some of that.... 8ths, 16ths then 32nds in a song, so good

[@vibrantchill7212]

Protect this man at all costs 🥺

[@InnerHacking]

Never in my life I've encountered a drummer that's not a cool guy. Look at this guy, always with a smile! Legend.

[@dj8]

that smile is infectious

[@meta1ky0]

For me Dirk will always be a Soilwork drummer. I believe Megadeth put him in a sort of a box, restricting his creativity. Soilwork is where he always shined and pushed the boundaries. One of the best modern drummers in metal IMO.

[@markrussell3414]

Awesome video 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🎤🎸🎸🎸🎸🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@vaultsjan]

I miss Scarve

[@NickSwe]

I remember I was bummed when Dirk went to Soilwork because I knew that would end Scarve, I love Soilwork, I just wanted both bands to release more music, I'm still hoping Scarve will release a new album some day... how about some vinyl reissues in the meantime, huh?

[@bhbuzzco7719]

I miss u in soilwork 😭

[@AlexRiseTyrantOfDeath]

Awe...no Antares? :( Craziest drums on that album.

[@darrenbooker8144]

Agreed 👍

[@justicia8393]

….awesome human being 👌🏼

[@somethingelse04]

Dirk 🤘

[@Talvalin]

Still hoping that Scarve will reunite and release a new album.

[@feroxk.9266]

Propably not going to happen as Guillaume Bideau sadly passed away....

[@captweirdbeard]

@@feroxk.9266 RIP to a legend. But Guillaume had already left by the time The Undercurrent came out, at which point Lawrence Mackrory (Darkane) had replaced him. So another record with Lawrence is technically possible!

[@EdwinvanKoppen]

Really liked his drumming on Yyrkoon

[@captweirdbeard]

Irradiant is such a standout record, not just in Dirk's career, but in metal overall. Terribly overlooked, unfortunately. It, like all Scarve albums, has a sonic landscape that no other music is really able to capture. It feels like being trapped in the 5th dimension and I love it.

[@MetalRush666]

Recent Kill Division record is killer

[@danyele8526]

Chapeau Dirk

[@user-lg5ti2vh1j]

What about Sybreed - Antares? Iconic.:)

[@CharlyBGoode]

Oh he moved to France ? Would like to hear him speak some french ahah

[@mcathawk1490]

This dude is THE metal drummer you want if you’re Dave Mustaine. He’s so frickin good

[@vampishsage5364]

Dirk seems like a really cool guy. Fuck, love Beastie Boys lol.

[@fraulina]

Such a nice and cool person...like his smile. 🩷

[@MrXatcloud]

Plains of Oblivion - Jeff Loomis

[@dlimmel]

WAsting his talent with megadave, go back to Soilwork!

[@ChaosPootato]

I'm kinda sad Mustaine is so tired these days, he can't play for shit anymore and his singing is painful to hear... Dirk deserves a pristine Megadeth experience, you can't blame the guy for catching the opportunity of playing with a band he admired in his childhood

[@Juzzba]

Regroup Scarve more like

[@dj8]

@@ChaosPootato Dave deserves to be tired at this point in his life. He's seriously still in recovery from throat cancer. chemo and radiation took a major toll and it takes time to come back from that even when the cancer has been conquered. Give him a break and be happy he can still do what he does and Dirk is there helping him be able to do it. He has breathed new life into Dave. It's obvious. Be thankful

[@somethingelse04]

Cry more

[@somethingelse04]

​@@ChaosPootatogo talk BS somewhere else buddy

[@kaarenine4511]

Hello metal injection this is not a comment on this drummer who seems terrific! It's a request : please activate the subtitles on the parameters. I'm french and i love metal. I think my english's pretty decent but i'm far from fluent so the subtitles would help A LOOOOOOT my understanding . Otherwise i think i may not come back on this chan

[@kaarenine4511]

... thanks though

[@metalinjection]

will do!

[@rgenemy]

Cobra the impaler : best album of `22

[@claysmell]

Barney!!

[@59thfsaviation79]

Did Dirk just say they learn a new megadeth song every once in a while? The same setlist for 2 years determined that's a lie!

[@AUM_-po9sc]

Learning and actually playing them - two different things:) The setlist is up to Dave, so...

[@user-jn7mb4cb2w]

Prince was some sort of Warlock or something to do with the occult? There's a story online of some dude who came across Prince he was suspended in the air in the middle of his studio. The dude seen something he is pretty freaked out... There is all manner of Magic going on right under our noses.

[@cthumann]

Nothing like a video about music with no music in it.

[@scottthompson4193]

Iconic??? Let's settle down lol

[@offtherecord681]

He's easily one of the best metal drummers out there.

[@scottthompson4193]

@@offtherecord681 How many "1 of the best" are there today? It goes deep, hell watch Trivium's fairly new drummer, watch Cattle Decaps drummer. Dirk is a "great" boring soft hitting drummer.

[@rudywilliams6538]

who are you?

[@danielelia2256]

@@rudywilliams6538 :D you killed me

[@rocktypelizard]

​@@scottthompson4193 Listen to what he did on Devin Townsend's " Pandemic ", " Juular " and " Deconstruction " and tell me he's a soft boring drummer. You'll be truly dishonest if you do.
