He seems like such a mellow, humble guy. He did awesome too. There's really no "wrong" way to do it, just different interpretations really. His first interpretation based on one listening is awesome. Very impressive.

Its crazy when you have people like this and Chad Smith for example. They can play anything. They never heard this song before, but they heard a thousand songs in this genre that sound like this. They have played them a million times. What crazy talent.

Honestly, I really dig how this changes the tone of nearly the entire song

Wow I actually prefer this version, it’s so groovy

The fills are perfect.

Man, these session drummers are something else. They can play anything. Ive heard someone say The Foo Fighters are the best cover band of all time, because they can play anything. They are like a session band. Elite musicians.

chad smiths confidence was so freaking amazing. i respect this take just as much but chad smith's personality really adds something not many people would ever be able to pull off.

yeah, but in Chad Smith's case what suprised me the most was that he didn't even listen to entire song just "it's on 3" and started playing along.

We learned from the Dream Theater auditions that even VERY skilled drummers have a difficult time coming up with drum parts on the spot. That proved that it is very difficult to find drummers that can come up with drum parts on a first listen. They may have a hard time finding drummers for this series for that very reason. It takes great skill to do what we witnessed here and what Chad Smith did. Very difficult.

Well Mike Mangini was the only drummer out of all of them who prepared for the audition despite being this technical monster.

To be fair, Dirk is NOT American / British, and many of the bands he's been in are legit death metal bands from places like Sweden. This is not his bag.

This was one of the best reaction to that video I've seen. really appreciated you not pausing it constantly and talking over it, very nice insight. Great vid man!

For the record, the first time I heard Mr. Brightside was in the original drumeo video.

you got my like sir, only one i found who did not pause this masterpiece

Say what you want about megadeth. But Dave surrouds himself with badass musicians. This is not what this dude plays everyday for his pay. He's not just a drummer. He's a musician.

Yeah you even said it yourself, he surrounds himself with actual musicians while he himself is a selfish bitter loser of the entire genre.

I do not think "vulnerable" is the word. they might find a couple of ooh and aah moments while listening to the original. I also believe they check the ego out while doing an exercise like this. Also, a new sub. Saw a couple of videos from you and I thought... what a grounded reaction! ... like irl. Love it.

AGUANTE DIRK es un GENIOOOO ❤ SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA 🇦🇷

No it's called half time instead of playing snare on 2 and 4 you play it on 1 and 3 makes for a super loose slow feel

@@TheHonestTake That's awesome. I never knew that. I thought halftime was half speed/tempo. Playing on the 1 and 3 is very great way of putting it to non-musicians who have heard of 2 -4. Its not just slower 2 4 its 1 3. Music theory is so fun to learn. Im sure what I said makes no sense.

There are several AI online tools to remove or even split the tracks by instruments. Still, in the case of Drumeo I think they just reached the studios where these songs were recorded and bought the tracks and did some dark magic with the rights too because as far as I know, videos on their channel are not demonetized.

The old game Rock Band has the tracks separated if you want an easy way to get the tracks. It's great for late 00s and early 10s songs.

there is some online websites that you can delete the drum part more or less... i try the free version on some of this websites and work ok ... but for sure the paid version is better ... also i read that AI make a drummles song almost perfect...

Moises is a cool app for removing drums or any other instruments or vocals

Please react to dirk playing paramore 🙏

This one makes Chad's even crazier because Chad didnt listen to the song first, he just jumped in and started playing.

all the drumless tracks a avalibel on drumeo

I love how metalheads (myself included ;)) have these contradictory traits. On one hand he's a drummer in the American trash metal band Megadeth, on the other hand he's a down to earth straightedge vegan / animal lover from Belgium.

I know El Estepario and Drumeo use Moises to make some tracks drumless.

What? I'm Belgian, it's famous here as well. The music video definitely was on MTV back in 2003, and a lot of the stuff that MTV played was also played on the radio and in stores.

the drumless tracks are from drumeo the app the runs the channel ... the channel is just a walking adversing for the drumeo app ... you can get your first month for free

Special Comment: The Killers is "huge" in England, but it's not in the USA. I once asked a Producer on the LA LLoyd Rock 30 radio show and he told me that the band was not that big (during that day; during that time) and that is why it was never on the countdown. The song is very nice, and this drummer adds his metal drumming to it, and it gives it a lot of flavor, but this band is not that popular, and its music is hardly played on my local radio rock station.

you can youtube drumless tracks but they most likely engineer it themselves you remind me of a professional that acts like he knows it all but the reality has so much more to learn. like the fact you expect all these top dogs to know these songs based off the fact everyone knows them but the thing is with REAL musicians they dedicate their whole lives to their craft since birth it usually blinds them in a good way and they just focus on themselves if they let outside influence change their true perception then they wouldnt exist . not everyone knows everything but those who know less can learn more also atheism plays a part in why people dont suceed with their talents
