Dave Lombardo is an absolute beast in any band he has played with. Definitely the best metal drummer of all time

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Awesome Jamie

[@Mrbungleface0u818]

Dave Lombardo is one of those drummers that the moment you hear one measure of the drums you immediately know who it is This is just Dave playing around with his punk chops.... The mans work on many thrash albums are legendary

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Love it Jason

[@Mrbungleface0u818]

Just saw Dave finish up the testament tour here in San Jose CA... Just an hour ago... Dave Lombardo is the fucking goat!!!!! 🐐

[@warnerbasement1628]

Dude is 58 and slaying it -- no pun intended -- and his technique and economy of motion are remarkable while still maintaining power and a loose dynamic that doesn't sound metronomic like so many death metal drummers do. His rolls are fast as hell but not monodynamic so they have some character still. Watching him play it seems clear he could do this another decade or more. There's a calmness and relaxed aspect there.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

100% agree! He's in total control

[@neilmurrell281]

Nobody gives Charlie Benante a reaction he is a superb drummer and totally underrated.

[@jimfarrar4925]

Agree...love Anthrax...S.O.D.and all of the like...Charlie is awesome.

[@happydude2163]

Damn right. Indians will blow any drummers mind.

[@Scottdvz]

Charlie's a beast as well.

[@js5584]

Charlie is a far more versatile drummer than Lombardo. I really don't understand why people rate Lombardo so high...

[@666killatcommand]

Have to totally agree and I'm not much of an anthrax fan but Benante is bloody fantastic.

[@vinterskog]

Lombardo, the only drummer who makes you hear another band when he starts with the thrash beat. It instantly becomes Slayer, doesn't matter what the rest of the band is playing.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

HAHA

[@Jay.McCarty]

Have you tried Dead Cross? Pretty unique even with Mike Patton and Dave.

[@narcismo2474]

What is great drumming? Dave is the total package! P.S. Kerry King is a dick!

[@whitenoisestudio]

Dave Lombardo is a beast. He has something, in my opinion, which a LOT of metal drummers lack: Dave Lombardo actually grooves like crazy. Other metal drumer who come to mind who actually groove that much are Tomas Haake and Eloy Casagrande. They want to make your head bop, even if they play a simple groove. So good. More stuff of Lombardo to check out: The latest Mr.Bungle tracks and his work with fantomas.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Love it! Yes he has groove for sure

[@fcamiola]

Martin Lopez and Ax both groove like motherf*****s too!

[@stigandr9984]

And one of the coolest things about Lombardo in ST, he seems to have TONS of fun, really cool to see :)

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup that's important!

[@jessus3923]

This. The man brings this enormous chunk of magnificent groove into the game here and keeps the timing very tight and seems very relaxed and having fun while doing it. There are just some drummers you enjoy watching whatever and wherever they play and I'd say this man is one of them

[@jimfarrar4925]

Ya be cool if he did an infectious grooves album

[@Scottdvz]

Kerry King has said a few times, that Dave's drumming adds a a little punk style to Slayer.

I remember seeing Dave Lombardo when he was playing in Fantômas. Crowd at the front was split into 2 groups. 1 group was idolizing Dave Lombardo and the other group Mike Patton :D

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

HAHA Awesome Marcel

[@pinballdef]

I once saw Fantomas at Roskilde festival. Lombardo was not able to play that stretch of the tour, so they had a reserve drummer instead. The reserve drummer was a world champion at drumming acc. to the concert pamphlet. Hard to find a replacement for Lombardo, but he did a very respectable, albeit a bit mechanical job.

[@gillesfreymann8479]

Dave lombardo , normal thing to give a thumb up, that guy is the goddfather of modern metal drumming

[@hymek7017]

Always a joy to see Dave Lombardo in action. He always delivers 100% effort and like most super talented people makes it look like it's so easy and he's just cruising.

[@17madpierre]

Dave lombardo is a legend

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup!

[@TheAsphyx666]

Finally some Lombardo, but it should have been a Slayer track, really. :D Dave is one of THE quintessential thrash metal drummers, along with Gene Hoglan (you should do some Hoglan if you haven't already). I remember in an interview with a German Metal magazine in the early 90s he was asked how he manages to keep playing those insanely fast double bass parts for 90 minutes straight during a live show, and he said "Well, I just imagine the Nazis are after me and I'm running away as fast as I can". :D

[@kareldolesazajel8110]

Dave is a fantastic drum machine. Ideal for classical thrash. „Spill the Blood“ is amazing! But for Suicidal is better "black" drummers - much groove, funky ...

[@daveemerson6549]

Totally agree about Gene Hoglan. Dude is amazing. I'd like to see him react to a Derek Roddy video, as well.

[@Phallica-js7ht]

He did Gene Hoglan a while back.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yeah it's taken a while for someone to pick Dave Lombardo!

[@9r0bizzle93]

At Dawn they Sleep and Haunting the Chapel, he beats the kit like it owes him money.

[@mikemartell365]

As a long time fan of Suicidal Tendencies & Lombardo from his time in Slayer I can tell you his playing elevates this song to another level. Great reaction.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup he's just doing a great job here Michael. Perfect drumming

[@GiaNt_TaLOn]

Lombardo is an absolute beast hes the GOAT

[@janalkema9320]

Toured with them as support when Brooks Wackerman was on drums (brother of Chad Wackerman who played in Zappa). Blew my mind every night, hope there’s a clip of that lineup!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Oh wow. That's awesome Jan!

[@alexbaum2204]

SS has always been intense. One of their calling cards. Dave Lombardo sitting behind the kit raised the intensity level by at least an order of magnitude. The guy is an absolute beast of a drummer and has been for 40 years or so. It’s incredibly hard for me to pick a favorite drum part of his. Always loved his work on War Ensemble, Silent Scream, Alter of Sacrifice, and so many others with Slayer. His work with Grip Inc was also fantastic. Hostage to Heaven is almost comical how good the drumming is. And then there’s this clip you played. He’s always back there just making the band sound infinitely better than it would otherwise. I think you struck the nail on the head too: it’s that he plays perfectly (appropriately) for every song he’s involved with. Take that with how humble he is and the work ethic… the dude is easily one of my favorite drummers ever. Wish he could have avoided all the bullshit with Slayer (read wish they would have pulled their heads out of their asses and listened to him) because we could have so much more amazing music if theirs with him on it. No offense to Bostaph, but Lombardo is such a better fit and made such better music with them.

[@nathanmcintyre694]

Nothing like a bit of punk to wake you up in the morning! Haha! Thanks!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Hey Nathan! Glad to get to the pick my Man!

[@motleydude73]

Fellow kiwi here. Dave has always been my favourite drummer! Tireless, technical, his roll and fill style is called 'falling through the drums', no one does it quite like him. He has also dabbled in jazz and punk and even symphonic percussion. Gene Hoglan and Igor Cavalera are great drummers to check out too 👌

[@tylerbailey9329]

I've been getting into Bad Religion over the past half year. Brooks Wackerman is another fantastic drummer of the genre.

[@fuzzydunlop1988]

Was trying to find out if he was related to Chad Wackerman who used to play for Zappa. Turns out their brothers and their other brother John is a pro drummer too. You learn something new every day ha

[@wolfman8785]

Was just about to say, all the wackermans are great drummers lol

[@diegoleiva7242]

@@fuzzydunlop1988 saw Chad playing live with Steven Wilson I think. Guy's a monster. And isn't Brooks the Avenged Sevenfold drummer? He's crazy good as well.

[@torstenjahn5025]

Actually Brooks played wit Suicidal Tendencies as well, before he was in Bad Religion. And he played in Infectious Grooves, too.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Anyone with a stud surname like 'Wackerman' is going to automatically be great at drums LOL

[@dathorndike4908]

[@DoomsdayIsComing73]

Watching Dave play gives me hope, as an “oldhead” pushing 50🤦🏻🤦🏻😔, to keep doing what I’m doing and getting busy behind the kit! I remember seeing Dave play with Slayer back in 1988, at a small little venue in downtown Dallas. Killed it then, still killing it now! Definitely one of my major influences, when I first decided to make music my life! I remember learning to play every song on the Hell Awaits and Reign In Blood albums! The absolute joy when I nailed every song. Just made me that much more motivated and driven to make the commitment, which is what being a serious musician is all about, to take my playing to a whole other level!Thank you, Dave, for inspiring this metalhead to follow my dreams! Thank you, Paul, for your great reactions, your love for drumming is evident, and makes me want to practice!!! Slaytanic Wehrmacht, MFers!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@DallasGunther]

Suicidal at one point had evolved into pretty much a thrash band. Rocky George was a phenomenal lead guitar player and added lots of intricate, melodic accents. "The art of rebellion" is one of my favorite albums of all time and I've bought many copies since it was released. Lombardo is a perfect fit really and its good to see this band active again.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes Dallas. Great stuff man

[@estelombo]

Man!! Rocky george was years ahead of his time!!! Utterly next level metal guitarist, all the albums he did with suicidal are some of my favourites of all time

[@vinterskog]

Yes, and The Art of Rebellion remains one of the best metal albums from that period. The drums are fantastic there, but no drummer is mentioned on the CD's booklet. Anyone knows who plays on it?

One thing to note is that he is sitting ridiculously low! I did that when I started out, because I had no idea what I was doing, so when I many years later realized Lombardo was doing the same (and I wasn't anymore), it blew my mind! It shouldn't be possible playing so fast bass drums sitting like that. Remember, he has to lift his leg above ninety degrees. It's crazy hard.

My dyslexic drum teacher played in a thrash metal band. He turned me on to Dave with Slayer in the early 90's. It was my first exposure to that type of playing.

Fairly dynamic single stroke 16ths on the long fill at 8:40. Too many rock drummers would have ruined that with no dynamics. But that snare drum angle is just making him work harder to bend his wrists for a good strike IMO.

This is a great drum video because that is all you see. You might want to check out Dave when he was with Slayer. There is a video for a song called Seasons in the Abyss, live. Also has some cool shots of Dave on the drums. Lots of good drum fills.

It's funny you mention Latinos in heavy music on a ST track. The band has had a handful of non-Latino members in their 30 year history.

Yeah Dan! The Latinos are all over it! 🥁🙌
