Dirk is the man. <3

Cool music too, from what I can hear in the background.

 

[Vandyn]

recording in a church? #)

 

[joeymusicguy]

dude is so solid

 

[MetalJonesy]

wicked, nice post!

 

[Jackal_Strain]

Truly one of the best at what he does!

 

[guitaristenrage]

It seems to be brutal!!! And the melodic stuff at 1'26" reminds me of Scarve... Can't wait!!!

 

[FIXXXER]

am i the only one who is hearing massive snare untightness in the begnning of the video!?
actually it sounds like the snare is hit randomly...maybe this is his style...the midi grooves
he made for the metal foundry sound the same

 

[Raptor7]

Yea, an ex church actually. Its the Echo Mountain Studio in Asheville, NC.

Nah all I am hearing is a retarded good drummer

 

[KeithTidd]

I can already kinda tell the room sounds awesome, even in a youtube vid.

 

[Sickan]

Is the sound really captured from the camera? If the kick sounds that good from a camera mic, I wonder how wonderful it sounds in the mix (if they'll keep anything of it...)!
Just bought the "Library of the Extreme - Blasts & Fills" by Dirk aswell btw!

 

[::XeS::]

Obviously the sound comes from a scratch mix, with some eq or compressor.

It's just a really weird pattern. I don't like it at all, but the rest is just awesome.

It's not weird at all - it's a fairly traditional blast with slower time on the hats. A super sped up 'Slayer' beat, if you will.



This sounds fucking awesome, cannot wait for what I'm expecting to be album of the year.

 

[egan.]

I always called that "the hardcore beat."
Dirk and Peter Wildoer are two of the most incredible drummers I've had the privileged to see up close (and repeatedly). Touring with Soilwork and Darkane was a nightly reminder that I should have practiced a lot more.

 

[Lasse Lammert]

judging only from the laptop speakers I think the snare sounds amazing

Yeah nothing he played on the snare in the video was odd really, pretty stock.

Awesome drumming though.

what, you mean the first two seconds of the vid where he plays the little lead-in snare fill? okey dokey, smokey dopey, there buddy.

there's nothing "random" about that, it's perfectly in time and every drummer who's worth a shit plays snare fills exactly like it. in fact the playing throughout the vid is rock solid.

so yeah.. it's just you.

+1. The whole kit sounds great, even if it is a YT clip.
