Listening to Megadeth's drummer saying "this is a classic track, I'm sure everyone will recognize the chorus"
"I dunno, I've not really listened to Megadeth enough to recognize stuff I don't think"
*starts playing*
"Oh shit, _that_ chorus? Yeah okay fair enough"

@danderson that dude is a blessing. So incredibly skilled and super chill.

@jakehamilton Seriously. I assume you've seen it, but if not, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rawNLGxrKi4 is neat!
-
@danderson ooh I haven't seen this one!
-
@jakehamilton Yeah the "learn a song" videos are super fun, but this is an hour of part nerding out over drums and music, and part playing a couple classic tracks. It's entertaining because his energy is exactly the same as playing something for the first time, just obviously more confidence thrown in.

@danderson @jakehamilton wow, didn't realize Dirk was playing for Megadeth now - totally digged his Soilwork stuff back in the day. Almost sounds a bit like a waste of talent to join Megadeth

@elusiveman @jakehamilton I can recommend watching the video then, there's a whole long discussion of how the drumming style differs, and how complex drum parts that are always at 100% isn't the only way to shine as a drummer
