I was just saying this the other day. My brother and I got into it. We’re both drummers (must have been tons of fun for Mom and Dad) and were talking about his best album with them. We both agreed that Seasons is our favorite Slayer album, but his work on South of Heaven is fucking insane. Silent Scream alone is probably the most brutal drumming I have ever heard. Anyway, much respect for this man. Truly one of the greats.
Speaking of effortless, have you seen the footage of him playing with ST? War Inside My Head. His speed and precision are jaw dropping. And he just makes it look so damn easy.
@@metalgod2642 Honestly, I wouldn't say he down right sucks. But yeah he is definitely not as good as he once was. Lars still inspired a lot of drummers back in the day, so still an important drummer.
2:04 This clip represents the dichotomy of man. On one end we have a insanely talented drummer, an absolute master of his instrument of choice, playing some fantastic drum solos. On the other end we have a guy screaming at a microphone like a madman. It's just beautiful.
dave lombardo wrote the history of thrash metal. the record ''south of heaven'' was revolution in thrash drumming. absolutely unique, great sound great timing great drum parts. it happened ones and never ever again.
This guy always had the best fills - he does other things well, too, don't get me wrong, but the one thing I've never heard anyone do right (no matter how good a drummer they are) is his fills & rolls. His style has a very unique & deft touch that probably came from his samba & jazz background.
@@Trollyulian I can't over-state the importance of having jazz as part of a formative musical education, it's had a huge impact on the people who get it as kids. If it had been classical instead of jazz his fills would be like Hellhammer's. lol Maybe a gross oversimplification but still a valid assessment.
@@ApathyBMwhich definitely energizes every measure that has a fill by preceding it with a half or quarter measure build-up _to_ the fill. Such a unique style, I'm glad this comment is getting likes 2 years later.
The guy’s amazing. Plain and simple. I think some of Dave’s finest work is on war ensemble, especially in one particular drum fill he does in that song. And you guys know exactly what drum fill I’m talking about
Aside from his style -- which of course plays a part in why it sounds so good -- I always thought Lombardo always had the best sound of any drummer I've ever heard. The sound of his drums on the South of Heaven album is the pinnacle of drum tone.
Dave Lombardo is a fucking titan. An unstoppable force of music. Only speaking for myself here, as percussion is not my forte, but Dave is the only drummer on earth who's work I can recognise in a track.
that's nothing ,try double kick drumming in 18 hole dms like hellhammer does in mayhem, and he makes it seem a lot less work, and they are a similar age!!
I play in jeans all the time, but I don't kick like DL. If I play in cargo pants the stitching in the pocket on the thigh will chafe the knuckles on my left hand from the hand riding over it to cover the snare drum. I don't play in shorts at all because the insides of my knees end up grinding on the snare drum hardware.
Some of his best work was during his time in Grip Inc. The sheer speed of "Hostage to Heaven" or the power grooves in "Myth or Man" would be great additions.
PrimitiveAK Fantômas, one of Mike Patton’s 8 million side projects. I went to one of those shows and some drugged up freak in the front row kept yelling out “This is the new jazz, maaaannn!” after every piece. Considering that every tune was only about thirty seconds long, I unfortunately left with that mantra etched in my brain for life. 😭. To be fair, the entire free jazz genre sounds just like that, so, I guess he wasn’t off base with his ball tripping proclamation.
"Was the Best Drummer on Earth" is the best drummer on earth if you ask me!! quick shout out to hate worldwide, a song which i find extremely underrated!!
he is the best drummer to ever live. i don't care what genre you listen to, you must appreciate Dave Lombardo for his talent. no one else even comes close, he can do all the off beats and beats and still hit his marks. I've never seen anypne like him.
I remember the first time I heard this dude. I was like, "There's no friggen way". I was thinking that they slowed the tape down while he recorded and then played it back at normal speed while they mixed it down. Because there is no way a person can play that fast and that explosive for that length of time. Then I went to my first Slayer show in a little bar or something down in Houston. And I realized just how friggen wrong I was. Even today he's fast as hell. I'd be willing to bet that if he air drummed without a kit in front of him, you could probably hear his arms buzz. Like some huge fly buzzing around. But nope. It's Dave. Playing air drums. Buzzing like a herd of houseflies.
@@KCKIDD94 LOL, spoken like a golfer. Paul surpassed Dave years ago, not only in time being in slayer, but his resume casts a huge shadow over Dave.......who plays for what band now? .......o yeah, Suicidal Tendencies LOL
He does these mid fill cymbal catches that no one talks about. He is talked about a lot but still underrated. Everyone is looking at his feet when he is doing so many other amazing things.
I got to clean his drum set in the late 80s while on tour with Motorhead / Overkill. I was working security, checking out his kit when a roadie walked up with rags to clean it. I asked if I could clean it and he said NO problem and handed me the rags lmao. It was an absolute honor. I briefly talked to him back stage. He was the most mellow dude ever, super nice guy just hanging out with his girl. The way Slayer did him rubs me wrong to this day.
I live in Asheville, NC and work in a music shop called Skinny Beats. Dave came into the shop and played bunch of gongs and djembe. We talked about music, and it was awesome. He was in town with Testament, and hooked me up with backstage passes. I got to go backstage and meet the guys from Testament (Chuck, Alex, Steve Digiorgio, Dave Lombardo). It was one of the coolest days ever.
Double Bass Drumming Existed before Dave But HE Took It To The Highest Level and Educated So Many Of Us and The New Drummers in the Heavy Metal world. That's What It's Really All About. He Has Been A Teacher For Many of Us. A Super Amazing Talent for Sure! He Is My personal Favorite Metal Drummer. It's Effortless and That's BC He Mastered His Craft of Heavy Drumming. Bostaph and Dette Are Monsters as well. Love Dave!
@@leopardcubpupkryky6940 Really? Dont think so, no Drummer has so much Groove while he plays fast. Drums must be Groove and not sounds like a computer, thats the point. Alot of Drummers are great in technics maybe more than dave, but they dont groove on Speed like him, no one.
Let's see, when he was with Dark Angel, Death, Dethklok, Testament, Strapping Young Lad, Tenent, Fear Factory, and a handful of others. Dude is The Dude of metal drumming.
I'm not sure about best drummer in the world as a statement for any drummer. To many different styles as a whole. So many bloody great drummers out there and he's one of them.
He is the drummer that make a guitarist wants to learn drum
That’s what joey jordison did to me
@@holeesheeetgonzalez thas what dave grohl did for me
He, Vinnie Paul, and Delta Empire all make me (a guitarist) want to learn to drum.
Yup
Too
The fact he can play the breakdown of Angel of Death with a smile on his face... I can’t comprehend his physical fitness and endurance
fastest feet in the west
Faster than Anthrax Gung Ho
Double bass speed doesn't always equate to physical fitness, just look at Gene Hoglan back in the day 😂
Man the drumming in south of heaven is really underrated. Some of his best work
South of Heaven keeps me coming back because it's just the grooviest of the early Slayer albums
The change up 1:50 into Ghosts of War is just bone chillingly brilliant
It's on a mystical, spiritual level. No doubt about it.
I agree, his best work
just realized that myself. and I am not really a drum fan. Couldn't believe TA saying that he's just a guy they did a few shows together
yes that was his best work i think anyway those drum rolls in live undead were so fast also ghost of war.
I don’t think he ever stopped being the greatest drummer on earth.

Dave Lombardo together with Mike Patton. The universe has aligned perfectly.

It's such a shame that Lombardo's name doesn't come up a lot more often in the pantheon of great drummers.
His passion is like Buddy Rich's, he's totally entwined with his tool. That is where he finds life eternal. And that is all he wants. Like everything else is icing on the cake.
Thinking Art Entertainment unless you’re a drummer lol
No, it comes
Really ? He's not that underrated...
Those who now bands form before the 90's often mention Lombardo and Hoglan (rightfully so).

No metal drummer has the combination of speed, technical ability, creativity, distinct style, and most importantly feel and groove that Dave has.

100 percent. I could listen to Dave’s snare rolls all day
