Megadeth will be touring some touring starting May 20, or today, with Rock On The Range, then a few more U.S. festivals and then a bunch of stuff overseas. As we're all extremely aware at this point, Lamb of God drummer Chris Adler has been pulling double duty, drumming in both bands and playing with Megadeth as much as humanly possible live.
How's about Soilwork's Dirk Verbeuren?
Psst. You guys catch that news Chris Adler just told us on Lock Horns? His fill in for Megadeth…. Dirk Verbeuren of @Soilwork.

First of all, this is an extremely solid choice on Megadeth's end. Verbeuren is a goddamn monster behind the kit. Second of all, what's up with Megadeth and death metal drummers? Adler's capable of doing it, Verbeuren's in Soilwork, and they've had Tony Laureano behind the kit as well, who's filled in for bands like Dimmu Borgir, 1349, and The Black Dahlia Murder in the past.
So good on Dave for picking 'em good.
