It’s probably not on most people’s list of top priorities so it makes sense right.Īndrew: Yeah definitely! Well obviously the main thing we want to talk about is your other band, Cadaver which is obviously a band that goes back a long time ago but you joined in pretty recently right?ĭirk: Yeah that’s correct. The first few months that hit nothing much was happening and since then it’s picked up slightly but I would say it’s definitely slower than usual which makes sense because I myself would think twice before I would go and hire a musician if I could wait a year or whatever. So you haven’t really been affected too much?ĭirk: Well things have definitely slowed down.
So it’s been alright man, I have some session work too, luckily some people have kept hiring me for recording drums but it’s been interesting to say the least.Īndrew: Yeah that’s right, the last time we talked we were discussing your drum session stuff so I know you’ve been pretty busy with that. We have some really cool, awesome drum students most of which I teach online.
When it comes to working just adapting to this new situation I guess is the best way to put it, luckily her and I have both found gigs here and there that have allowed us so far to survive. Obviously joined Megadeth in 2016 and we’ve been touring a lot in those following years, other than that, you know, just trying to make it through this crazy pandemic!Īndrew: Yeah it is a question that pops up early in every interview I do these last 6 months so how have you been dealing with this whole covid stuff?ĭirk: Well my wife and I have been very cautious in the beginning and we continue to do so we’ve been pretty much isolated with a few visits of friends in the yard as an exception but we’ve always stayed very safe through out. We catch up with Dirk to find out more on Cadaver as well as get the latest with Megadeth.Īndrew: I was just thinking, the last time we talked was 5 years ago so obviously you were still in Soilwork at the time and a lot has happened since then so how has things been?ĭirk: Been good, been staying busy. Since joining Megadeth in 2016, the drummer has stepped up his profile with numerous projects including his latest venture with Cadaver who together with Satyricon’s Anders Odden have brought the death metal legacy to fruition with “Eddie & Bile”, a ferociously raw album that pays homage to the original death metal sound. Dirk Verbeuren has had a whirlwind last few years since our last chat back when he was the drummer for Soilwork.
