MEGADETH Drummer DIRK VERBEUREN Hears THE KILLERS For The First Time Without Drum Tracks; Teaches Himself To Play "Mr. Brightside" (Video)

Drumeo has released a new clip featuring Megadeth drummer Dirk Verbeuren hearing The Killers song, "Mr. Brightside", for the first time.

Drumeo: "Dirk Verbeuren from Megadeth has a diverse musical background, primarily playing rock and metal but also listening to jazz, fusion, pop, hip-hop, and electronic music. He quickly grasped the song structure and applied his method of counting and naming parts to deliver an amazing performance. You'd be amazed at the details he caught on his first play-through. 

Dirk's incredible drumming skills effortlessly transform 'Mr. Brightside' into his own unique masterpiece, showcasing the value of learning songs quickly for session work. He also highlights the importance of having techniques and tricks for memorization and sight-reading, allowing him to effortlessly master the song with ease."
