DRUMCEPTION – Brendon Small of GALAKTIKON/ DETHKLOK X Dirk Verbeuren of MEGADETH

Hot on the heels of the release of Superior Drummer 3, the world’s flagship drum programming software, Megadeth drummer Dirk Verbeuren wrote and recorded a completely original song only on the drums. We then sent Dirk’s drum track to five different guitarists — Brendon Small (Dethklok, Galaktikon), Alex Skolnick (Testament), Will Putney (Fit For An Autopsy), Brandon Ellis (The Black Dahlia Murder) and Reba Meyers (Code Orange) — and asked them each to write their own song on top of it. We’ll be sharing all of those finished tracks with the world throughout October and November as part of our second annual Drumception series.

Today’s Drumception release pairs Galaktikon / Dethklok / Metalocalypse mastermind Brendon Small with Dirk’s drumming for another track that’s completely different from any of the others! We think you’ll hear a lot of influence from Brendon’s other projects, but displayed in a whole new light on top of Dirk’s drums. Watch and listen below, and also be sure to check out the Drumception tracks featuring Brandon Ellis from The Black Dahlia MurderReba Meyers from Code OrangeWill Putney from Fit For An Autopsy and Alex Skolnick from Testament.

You are invited to download Dirk’s drum track, record your own guitars over it, and enter our Toontrack giveaway right here. At the end of November, Dirk himself will sort through the entries, pick his favorite and award a prize. The drums were recorded using Superior Drummer 3 which is out now and compatible with all major DAWs.
