I really love that pause, allowing Hayley's voice to really shine in the song, more so than the actual version. And since he's never heard it before, he pretty much figured "alright, other instruments stopped playing, i'll stop too"

it shows that as a sit-in drummer he would really be amazing at supporting the other musicians, not just showing off. he's like a structural engineer stepping in to help support the architect's vision.

That style over the solo was really cool. Definitely shows off more, but still respectful of the guitar. From a guitar guy, it's really underappreciated when the drummer doesn't try to step on toes.

That pause where the drummer would be silent for a sec before going to a last chorus or (second to last) is actually not common in metal at all. Especially in thrash, speed or death metal the drummer usually gets no breaks. It's common in pop variants of many genres like pop punk or pop metal.. even drum n bass, to let the vocalist have a full solo moment like that as a "beat drop" moment. So I think he was actually trying to guess what this pop rock band would have done, but simply guessed wrong. In most metal genres the drummer is almost never silent unless you're trying to invoke a non-metal element like a choir or church organ or an acoustic guitar in the middle of the song, but it's pretty rare. Black metal does it a lot where the drummer stops playing for a moment to let the guitars and bass break into a separate melody, but usually then the vocalist is also silent.

I'd love to see your reaction to either of the Larnel Lewis Drumeo vids - they were early in the current format, so for one they made a song for him without a drum track, had him listen and recorded his one and only attempt, and the other, he covers Enter Sandman with the drum track and have him try to replicate it. Both are pretty amazing, and I think you'd enjoy geeking out over his kit as well.

It'd be cool to see you check out some of Dirk's original stuff with his previous bands like Soilwork, Devin Townsend, Scarve, Sybreed, etc. He's got a ton of play-through videos on youtube. Good on him for landing the Megadeth gig, but IMO when he was able to go full throttle with those other bands his creativity was really special. Also, he has a blast beat technique named after him (the "Dirk Blast"), which is just neat!
