by



Dirk Verbeuren breaks down the iconic drumming behind “Holy Wars” by Megadeth, the legendary track from their acclaimed album “Rust in Peace.”

Huge thanks to Dirk for not only breaking down this incredible song but also for keeping the spirit of the late Nick Menza alive through his amazing drumming. As we journey back to Megadeth’s iconic era, it’s evident how much Dirk admires the band’s history and the remarkable talents that shaped it. 🙏🏼

  12. I remember when I first saw this video on a Saturday night on WTBS the Ted Turner station. Dave's use of harmonics blew me away, still does…..this song hit home back then, and will hold true until all wars cease

  18. Dave always chooses the best of the music industry to play with him for us. I mean, Marty Friedman. Nobody actually has a little idea of ​​what that was at the time. Everybody who knew who Marty or what Cachophony was knew Rust in Peace was gonna be something big and different. Now we have Kiko and Dirk, both monsters of music not only metal.

  19. Dirk dose it a bit different than Nick , there’s a bit of more base drum when the song slows down with nick than Dirk , now go watch Nick do this & you,ll see , still over all not bad , but I would prefer Nicks drumming over Dirks & we all know Nicks not here to do that God rest his soul . @ Soul Tone Megadeth holy wars with Nick Menza .
