Soilwork’s Dirk Verbeuren to Play Drums in Megadeth on Tour

Chris Adler, unable to play live with Megadeth this summer in Europe due to his commitments in Lamb of God and at home, has lined up an incredibly suitable replacement to sit atop the drum throne behind Dave Mustaine: Soilwork’s Dirk Verbeuren, an incredible drummer in his own right who we ranked the #13 best drummer in modern metal!

Bastian Thusgaard of The Arcane Order, a student of Dirk’s, will be filling in for Soilwork in the meantime.

Here’s the announcement via Facebook:

This should be an exciting opportunity for Megadeth fans to catch Dirk playing live. And, needless to say, Dirk must be completely over the moon about it — congrats, dude!
