Dave Lombardo -- Slayer-Sept 14 2011

Dave Lombardo opening the set with Disciple at the Big4 Show in NYC on Sept. 14 2011.

[@krzysztofbuderski6718]

Imagine, playing like that for at least 3-5 hours a day (show + jammin) for last 25 years. This guy is a real gladiator;)

[@loboahriman7680]

Not to sound arrogant, but I'm a semi-pro drummer that plays regularly & it's not at all exhausting (& I play brutal death metal). It's pretty easy & fun after you become adapted. The only thing that gets exhausting is being over enthusiastic at shows & burning yourself out. But aside from that, like everything, you do it long enough (been playing brutal drums for near 20 years) and it becomes 2nd nature :)

[@blitzmonkey]

As a guitar player I rarely watch drum videos...but when I do, I watch Dave.

[@anthonyjosephcontrerasguit7703]

Mr. Lombardo is a Fucking Genius.

[@visneliturta0502]

51 years old and still rocking this hard

[@MrDick-kz8qc]

Lombardo has such a natural flow like hes playing just whatever. its really awesome

[@LUISALVAREZ-ek2hv]

The best beast drummer of metal in my opinion. Technical and full of fury. U can tell he just enjoys it big time

[@vicchicklet6877]

As I said a little while back Dave Lombardo is the best drummer in my world and who I think is his equal. Charlie benate of anthrax

[@Krashton01]

Best Slayer drummer ever!!! Dont care what anyone says...this guy has an awesome ability to really feel the music and really play it with best timing and energy. My favorite drummer ever

[@MrJwinne]

Exactly ! He's the only drummer for slayer , Kerry is a talentless , control freak who thinks he's a bad ass . He's the reason why Dave is no longer with slayer .

[@hinjurock]

+joseph winne Dave rules, but Kerry is definitely not talentless - he wrote or co-wrote a lot of great Slayer songs. Hanneman's songs were better though.

[@rattlehead2138]

joseph winne its not that Kerry is an asshole he just tells people straight up and he doesn't give a shit but he is fucked up for ripping Dave off

[@ferdinandwang1165]

I feel the same way about the late, great Clive Burr of Iron Maiden. He was the best drummer they ever had. Mind you, Nicko's good too, but the feel that Clive brought to the music was unparalleled. RIP, Clive. I dedicate my work of art to you.

[@roprezm]

Its all about that FEEL

[@SuperCholdi]

The guy's a machine. It just isn't the same without him.

[@hinjurock]

+SuperCholdi A machine with tons of soul and groove.

[@SlayerGuy]

Highly agree!

[@Drummer_Jeff83]

I agree he's the fucking man for sure!! But it's hard to take away from Bostaph. Hes incredible for sure. But yeah I'll take lombardo all day long

[@randywissler9923]

Phil is okay, but it's a totally different sound on drums with him. Love Dave's drum sound so much better!!!!

[@johnswanson2133]

That is a man that can drum. It takes a video like that sometimes to remind everyone who the baddest drummer in the land is.

[@thesentinel5523]

Dave plays this better live Paul played in the studio. Dave's the GOAT of THRASH Drumming.

[@summerrr1]

Baddest drummer? You mean Lazy bones Lars?

[@nckhed]

@@summerrr1 He meant "baddest" as in "badass" or the equivalent, not in a negative way.

[@tajolhaniptajol7161]

The best metal drummer....salute...

[@spiderexile]

He is absolutely incredible! Slayer NEEDS him back!

[@thrashmetalambassador]

Slayer is not Slayer without Dave Lombardo. As simple as that.

[@thebikewatcher9819]

Slayer is ONLY Slayer with Jeff, Dave, Kerry and Tom

[@straitjacket7696]

Rush is not Rush without Neal Peart. (R.I.P)

[@robertwalker3357]

[@teetaunjj7894]

💯 Percent

[@cheranguista]

In interviews Lombardo says that he warms up playing the forst song in the set, so he is just warming up, what a BEAST

[@cramdivad4530]

Yeah, Kerry has said before that him and Jeff got there 45 minutes early and would start going over their riffs and timing, Tom would be throwing up, and Dave would show up 5 minutes before they went on and played that well. Unreal.

[@atmrise9145]

And didn't practice either. The band rehearsed but he said his practice was playing live.

[@CJ-rx5fi]

“Yup, you guys warm up; I’ll do a minute of light stretching and then just be myself behind a drum kit and blow everyone’s minds, no big deal.”

[@AlanKramerVro]

He seems to really enjoy himself while playing this song. Amazing.

[@dustblowingman]

Alan Kramer which is strange because he didnt do the drums on the track

[@AlanKramerVro]

Exactly, that is why i say it's amazing He also changes certain fills, but still.

[@verve92]

+Alan Kramer Dave ate up whoever wrote it. Stole it and never returned!

[@StreamTVChannel]

+Alan Kramer yeah he does

[@jacoby8208]

verve92 Paul Bostaph

[@aboutthemetal8783]

The original thrash drummer

[@Thegamer10113]

Gene Hoglan taught Dave how to Double Bass so Gene Hoglan is the original

[@jorozco13yearsago40]

Gene is more like the original Death metal drummer.

[@Stretch213]

Get gene on yankee stadium

[@DrJ-hx7wv]

The fast double bass comes from Dom Famularo in the very early 80s. Charlie and Dave came from him. Of course, Dom is a teacher and doesn't play in bands.

[@DrJ-hx7wv]

Dave is the standard for thrash

[@Emmhoe]

one of the best thrash drumners out there!!

[@greasybastard7209]

SOMEONE SHOW LARS THE TONE OF DAVE'S SNARE, PLEASE!!

[@davids11131113]

Coolest dude in metal and best drummer ever!

[@martyschmidt2725]

The most talented member of Slayer.Ever!

[@beauvanbibberbvgration3770]

Man, best I’ve heard that song performed in years. This is what it would’ve sounded like if Dave played on the record. Full of life, space and groove! Nice job!

[@dale8809]

As a bass player and guitar player, I never get sick of Dave Lombardo drum cams. Freaking A.

[@slaytan1cforrest]

Always the benchmark, Mr Dave Lombardo 🙌🏽🤘🏽

[@bowriverblog]

Dave is such a fuckin beast... So glad I saw them live 3 times with Dave behind the kit 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@erichvonglahn5314]

The best drummer on the planet. Dave Lombardo. I was in a band back in the late 80's, and we warmed Slayer up at a show in Arizona. He is just incredible. Not to mention, a pretty cool guy. But, as far as drummers go, there are none better.

[@str8shooter2]

Best drummer is always debatable no question Dave's an elite drummer, Pete Sandoval is pretty good as well. Anyway great video.

[@TunedIntoCars]

Feel, aggression, power, speed. In one word: perfection!

[@danielschnee2666]

I play the exact opposite kind of music on the drums (quiet 1950s cool jazz) and still I am so thrilled and happy to see Dave play how he dies. Anytime a drummer does his thing with passion and precision it is like a big victory for all drummers! He gives us all the gift of inspiration, passion, control, and so on... Dave Lombardo is wonderful!

[@ethan9841]

I think it's criminally insane he only got paid 60k.

[@ToonSavage]

Suks fr I would hate that as well. like dude you guys screwed over a talented thrasher who gives nothing but passion..morons

[@cmurphy0707]

Nice Slayer pun.

[@satatay23]

He should have made 60k from just this show.

[@gts9920]

Great clip of Lombardo's great kit in front of many thousands of eager fans whilst showing the man psych himself up right before going on stage. The man is a legend, no doubt. I'd donate a kidney to sit next to that kit with him on it for a night. 🤟 You can tell though he's improvising to a track he hasn't written and would have given that song so much more in the studio...

[@butthole1007]

The master at work !!!

[@rickfogle7142]

Dave is the man, no comparison.

[@arvindshastry1178]

For me Dave Lombardo is the best drummer in Metal

[@tolget4684]

I've been a SLAYER fan for 30 years. Seen them live 4 times from 90' to 2010. Nothing beats Dave...nothing!

[@OneSupreme08]

I hope Lombardo will soon join some awesome band, I really LOVE to listen His drumming and such genius skill, should not be wasted !

[@SolarAdrift]

Zoran Ramzo Kamenycky Check out this band he's in called 'Dead Cross'

[@acidrain812]

showan susholm no they don’t, Lars is doing just fine. If they replaced Lars, it wouldn’t sound like Metallica

[@zoltanas77]

in hindsight i suppose it wasn't suicidal tendencies in your mind...

[@Ziri0615]

Hey man! He's in suicidal tendencies

[@FoxNote]

Dave Lombardo don't play to a metronome, a metronome plays to Dave.

[@Datdudestone]

I love how Dave organized this. His still style fits better even on Paul's songs in my opinion.

[@DrMabuse2010]

This is the best way to watch Slayer.

[@teenageslaves]

281 people that are beyond repair...

[@maxheadroom1837]

There’s no logical explanation for how good he is. He makes it look so easy.

[@typhoon-7]

There are people who will say "check out [insert blast beat death metal drummer here] he is faster/better" etc... This video is just further proof to me that Dave is the finest metal drummer of all time. Combines speed and incredible power with something most modern drummers forget: a groove. He is the only guy out there who can *groove* at 210 bpm.

[@user-dq2ym1nn9k]

As a drummer for 30 years - I wholeheartedly agree. He's so comfortable in his ability...it makes it a total pleasure to watch

[@andrewvaldez1710]

@@user-dq2ym1nn9k As a bassist, drummers who can groove and still be fast and technical as fuck are my favorite.

[@hellobooom]

Only drummer I enjoy as much is Eloy Casagrande

[@the72u7h4]

That's true. I love Cannibal Corpse, or I should say USED to love them, but they keep on going....anyway their drummer has never been the most technical. I say he's the lars of death metal. Dave, that dude is a master piece. I'm not that huge of a slayer fan, but that dudes articulation is on point, always.

[@louiscsanko3673]

DAVE LOMBARDO SHOULD FILE AN INCIDENT REPORT( MULTIPLE DRUMMERS STEAL EVERYTHING HE DOES!!!!!!) IF DRUMMERS CAN'T BE ORIGINAL THEY SAY I WILL COPY LOMBARDO?? BE YOURSELF!!!!

[@MrNewhatt]

His technique and precision is beyond incredible. A perfect example of a true professional.

[@johnwhitaker545]

I like how he just looks like a normal person, one of us. The dude is far from it. The best drummer that’s ever been.
