Soilwork - The Pittsburgh Syndrome (live 2008)

[timomustpractise]

Such.. finesse. o_o

[headknocker2020]

i think me and dirk have the worst drumming posture ever, haha. one of the most amazing drummers ever though

[StRyKeR1987]

2 people expressed their rage by disliking cuz they are mothafuckin deaf and so pissed that they cant hear this eargasm

[vetegrodd]

OM fucking GOD! It sounds amazing when he takes off!!!

[xfernydrummerX]

one of my favorite drummers!

[lgalicki]

He's a beast! His right hand is so independent it looks like it has got a life of its own! The verse part is so hard to play!

[SOILWORKRULES]

my influence aswell.. hes rediculous.. reason for my name :P

[tiagoshade]

DIRK DIRK DIRK!

[sponger516]

jeez. i dont know many other drummers that pull off that kinda stuff in one take every time. his technique is truly ridiculous. doesnt even look hard for him.

[ollecarlsson]

@sponger516 yeah hes insane.... stood behind his kit once when they pulled of chainheart, damn that was sweet....

[captainkunty]

such a lengthy guy...anyone know how tall he is?

[benwcc]

5'11" - 6'

i think...

[Meatlooaf]

Is that like 1,80 meters

[benwcc]

few cm taller than me~

[Meatlooaf]

He's not that tall, he just sits high!

[jorgenhostile]

if we compare his drumming with a bottle of wine he is a 1961 Petrus Pomerol that's it.

[GnR243]

after listening to all the different types of metal bands dirks played in. he may be the best metal drummer right now

[benwcc]

I would listen to all albums from different bands that dirk recorded drums on those.

[SOILWORKRULES]

haake ftw

[sebbimon]

One of the best drummers i know, Vinnie Paul -> Dirk Veurbreuen (?) -> Chris Adler.

HES SO DAMN FAST! awesome technique, hes truly awesome!

[lorddresefer]

@sebbimon look up tim yeung for a fast and accurate metal drummer! also he's very underated but Travis Smith from trivium can do some crazy shit

[webbtje]

The trivium kid isn't anywhere near the same league as Verbeuren or Yeung.

[ollecarlsson]

@webbtje pls man, music is NOOOOOT a fuckin sport.......

[webbtje]

@ollecarlsson

The analogy still applies. Man.

[truemexican011280]

simply...  awesome!!

[Machinegunblastkolb]

best example to these blastbeats is blind eye halo x)

[benwcc]

stalemate, blind eye halo and this song!!

[midihc]

dirk is my idol because he is able to maintain power and groove at such high tempos. in fact that is what he is probably best known for...

[jsegovia612]

I agree with you. He's my fucking idol too. Grooving doing blastbeats? I think no one can do that but him

[behindthenothing]

plenty can grove and blast , but dirk is the man!

[sabaton123]

It's kind of supposed to not be possible to groove and blast, but Dirk made it possible... Damn him,...

[SinisterSkip]

When you hear Dirk you just KNOW he's got a lot of talent and a lot of years of experience under his belt. Dirk Verbeuren kicks fucking BUT!!!

[gratefulzeppelin420]

what is this song about any way?

[jompish88]

Some crazy dudes from Pittsburgh

[midihc]

lol

[deathiz]

a machine.

[trollsmetal]

I have this song live from Pittsburgh

[nuggestar]

Mr. Verbeuren... I have never seen a drummer perform as well live as he did on one of the first gigs promoting the latest album, too bad they DIDN't play the Pittsburgh Syndrome on that gig, as he surely knocks out a whole lot of competition when it comes to feel. The thing about this guy is anyone can develop speed in their hands, but he really adds something special in almost every 4th note, wich is awesome. and oh yeah, Dirk vs. Chris Adler = NOT COMPARABLE! Soilwork vs. LOG: DIFFERENT!

[MrJoeyMonster]

that is the defanition of stick control lol

[NRGzer]

Goddamnit thats awesome! Would like to se one of these videos for Blind eye halo as well. Great job man!

[ZzakK88]

Indeed, Blind eye halo just keeps on amazing me!

[DIO323]

oi look at the new drum recording for upcoming soilwork album ( sworn to a great divide ) its the pittsburgh syndrome drum recording its sick as

[dmccaulley]

Im glad you liked the video. i didnt actually film this one, but I posted it for dirk.

I have some never before seen footage of Dirk in the studio recording for Warrel Dane's solo album "Praises To The War Machine", I filmed it on my crappy little fuji point and shoot camera though, so the quality isnt that great. Ill ask Dirk if he wants them on here though.

Ill try to get some good video footage on the next soilwork tour for you guys!

[ollecarlsson]

solid as concrete

[rockerhk]

i know that the person shotting him was his WIFE! check out Dirk's offcial site

[12bajs34]

thiere drummer is awsome .. just a little 2bad the video only focus him :S and barely hear smt else than drums... and it sound pretty bad when u hear LIVE recorded but i ensure u when ur watching em live it sound amazing :D

[rockerhk]

Almost only Dirk himself can play this song... awsome drum work for Soilwork

[JDrummer145]

all i can say is holy crap...dirk the man...i will be seeing him and peter wildoer feb 7...darkane and soilwork together cant wait..

[hellrazor665]

dude how can you say that adler sucks?I think that they are both good drummers and log and soilwork are both good bands and adler is extreme in his own way,he has his own style so don't compare them cause they are not trying to copy each other!!!

[blizzardvekic]

say what you say but i disagree...

[blizzardvekic]

on of the best drumers with adler of lamb of god!!

[webbtje]

Adler sucks. Double kick and 4/4 cymbals at mid-tempo. Wow. How hard. Verbeuren absolutely smokes him, as do a fuckload of extreme metal drummers.

Because, in case you hadn't noticed, LoG are not extreme.

[Drummerthatismetal]

Speed is not the most important thing. Chris adler is one of the most orignal drummer's you'll ever hear. If you too stupid to realize that, than your just kidding yourself.

[webbtje]

Chris Adler is not fucking original. He has one fill, two hits on the toms and bass drums, alternating. That is it. He does nothing else. I fucking hate all you LoG-fellating little dipshits.

Do us a favour, stop talking out of your arse. Compared to Flo Mounier, Gene Hoglan, George Kollias, Derek Roddy or Tomas Haake (have you ever even heard of them? Noooooo...) Adler is about as original as a 14-year-old picking up the sticks for the first time. Don't mention Blotted Science. He pussied out.

[Drummerthatismetal]

What the fuck do you know about me you little dick loving asshole. I listen to all of those bands, i know who all of those drummers are, and I know what the hell im talking about. So go back with yoru little boy friend and continue making gay love.

[webbtje]

Ah, the gay insults come out. A sure sign of immaturity and the lack of being able to prove me wrong. Trust youtube to provide me n00bs on a plate like you, eh?

When Chris Adler can pull off polymetrics like Tomas Haake, fine. Maybe he'll get some credit. In the meantime, you cannot prove me wrong. He is BAD. Besides, he plays in a shitty metalcore band, he never was going to get much credit, was he...

[Drummerthatismetal]

Your wrong. LOG is a groove metal band you fucktard

[webbtje]

Metalcore vocalist. Hardcore aesthetics. Metalcore breakdowns.

They are metalcore.

Fucktard. There is no such genre as groove metal, most of it's just slowed down thrash. Does LoG sound like slowed down thrash? Errrrr... no.

[V1C2]

Im sorry Drummertahtismetal but im afraid i gotta agree with webbtje. Listen to logs latest 2 albums and count the variety of different fills. Youll probably get up to 3.

Listen to some real music like Sikth or Dream Theater. Those guys are original, log are just mainstream.

[behindthenothing]

fuck yes sikth is amazing, as well as meshuggah etc etc. I hate chris adler, so repetitive and lame. way over rated . wtf, dirk is the man tho. especially his work with scarve was amazing

[SOILWORKRULES]

sikth!

meshuggah!

soilwork!

three greatest bands ever

[caLLe93]

where were they?

[archetypesweden3]

He's my biggest influence, my hero<3

[bobalooy63]

holy shit that was SICK
