Drum-cam footage of MEGADETH drummer Dirk Verbeuren performing the song “The Threat Is Real” live at Oosterpoort in Groningen, The Netherlands on June 14 can be seen above.

The clip was shot and edited by Sam Oerlemans.

In a recent interview with All About The Rock, Verbeuren stated about what it has been playing MEGADETH‘s classic songs on tour:

“The current live set is based on [MEGADETH‘s latest album] ‘Dystopia‘ and the early albums, from Gar Samuelson to Nick Menza. These guys really had their own style. Nick was actually one of my influences as a young drummer. Anyways, I had ten days to study eighteen songs. I tried to capture the intention behind the drum parts in order to respect the band’s vision. Gar and Nick have a more old-school swing whereas Chris Adler‘s approach is more contemporary. I stay true to the originals while injecting some of my own groove and flair. Chris was very helpful in guiding me as to what the band would expect from me, which is super cool of him. It made the rehearsal and first shows a lot easier.”
