This is great. You really captured Dave's vibe when he plays. A lot folks do Slayer covers but they are too clean. Dave pushed and pulled a bit and that is what made Slayer sound like Slayer. Great job.
Absolutely exactly! Above all the technical difficulties that this song has, there's that one. And I think the rest of the members of the band understood it when he left Slayer. Bostaph is as tremendous as Dave, but cleaner... well... and not so imaginative.. hehehe....
That was my first thought. Dave played a little "sloppy" by modern standards. Or played with a lot more feel than modern drummers. However you want to look at it. It was recorded a long time ago. Seems like Delta got it! Cool cover.
I’m a guitar player but love the drums. I watch drumming videos all the time. So amazed how these people can move so fast and sound so amazing. So wish I learned how to play them
Delta was born with drum sticks in his hands straight out of the womb! I swear this is one of our favorite drummers that we most likely know just doing this as a hobby incognito! Imagine if this was actually like Joey Jordison or someone?
Witchback Great There’s no way a girl could beat the shit out of drums like a man can, tbh. Men are just stronger. Incoming comments: wOmEn ArE jUsT aS sTrOnG aS mEn.
@@Mavvyd96 That's pretty funny since Delta obviously is a small framed person. Look how small the dude looks when compared to his toms. Dude, or not they're not winning a strong man competition. While men are definitely stronger than women there was nothing shown here that your average dude or woman couldn't do with enough practice. People are so fucking weird. It's not like he is literally destroying his kit just makes up for the lack of their size by hitting hard. Hell, Travis Barker hits hard and there's no fucking way you're going to say there's no woman in the world who can kick that guys ass.
Surely those kicks are triggered, I didn’t know it was humanly possibly to hit those doubles like that on those parts lolllll, I’m willing to be proven wrong tho 😂😂
@@ivanigor2448 watch Nicko McBrain playing The Trooper and Where Eagles Dare and you'll believe it's possible. A pedal can be very sensitive if you set it right.
Here i am, as a tall dude, sitting as high as i can just to nail the double bass parts, yet this guy makes it look like seat height is all a big myth. Props to you masked drummer!
I'm blown away everytime I watch one of these videos. I picture Delta holed up in this studio endlessly practicing. Nothing but drums 24/7. Double pedal kicks in his sleep. Awaking each day to coffee, energy drinks and bashing away on that awesome kit! I'm jealous!!
Probably listened to this on the way to work to get up on those tough days a 100 times over the past 3 years or so.. Raised drum levels kinda makes it so I only want to hear this version. So we’ll done..everything about it
Well, 82 of you who have watched this wouldn't know what a good drummer is I f it fucking bit you ! Dude, you are amazing. I've watched several videos and I'm in awe with your stamina and landing every hit. Love it !
i forgot to put a question mark after the why in my reply sorry i was was just saying how could anybody not like this guys drumming imo hes fucking amazing i was just wondering for all the people clicking dislike why they dont say why for some reason it bugs me how could you not like this
I do not play any instument but this is another phenomenal FKN SLAYER drum cover. That double kick & double kick with 1 foot. U R da man. The lighting, camera angles is brilliant. I can't get enough. I said it before, will say it again. U should tour. Come to Australia.
Once again my friend. Your attack was straight forward and on pt. I didn't see any struggle, and on top of that, economy of motion allows a play through without losing to much stamina. Which also allows stronger attack. Killer ending. Sounds better than the original track. BTW, Grip Inc. That's some serious follow of THIS master of Thrash metal. Fukn A Broseph. 💀💀💀💀
Man, it's amazing how Gene Hoglan can continue these great drum covers in a skinny suite...good job and please cover Mentally Blind by your former band Death!
Soooooo.... if you’re looking for “who” Delta is..... start looking at the facts. He has the time in life to play drums in the exact same place, which is a studio. That studio has the exact same layout (drum sets) in the exact same places. (Not just looking at the one kit that he/she plays all of the great covers on). And another HUGE fact is that he/she plays with gloves on. Musicians are creatures of habit, they would never play drums one day with gloves, and one day without....
Great drumming!
Thanks Josh.
Cheers,
Lars
Josh Steffen AYYYYYYY was up
if josh is wat5ching your shit that means youre bad ass man....
This is you innit Josh! ;)
Hi my g!
The snare sound is so satisfying
Yeah.... I thought the Toms sounded next level.... whoever mic'd this is a genius...
My thoughts while watching the video
0:55 Do it...Do it......Do it......DO IT
0:59 YEEEEEEEEEES
Great cover, subbed
HA!!!! My exact thoughts too.
HaliniSnow we gotta go back jack!
jajajaja YES.
Me too, hahah!!!!!!!!!!! 2:57 too.
I have always wonderd when Dave Lombardo startet doing this? Its not on the album.
Love the “ding” you added right before the second verse
Dave plays that little “Ping of Death” live all the time lol
Yep that's Dave trademark
@@herpderpinson6117 Didn't know it was called that, nice
Dave did that live. It is his style but is also to keep time, a "beat" warning before into the transaction. This is common for drummers to do live.
That's the easiest way to tell who is playing it live.....Dave does the ding.....Paul doesn't
Nice mask and outfit Lombardo but you can not fool us ;)
ilquerxanier hahahah really looks like, insane “cover” hahahah
This dude is too tight to be Lombardo. Possibly Bostaph
style is different...sound is different.
maybE? and the question lingers, (and remains) lile the band that did that one song. Metallica "memory remains"
@@thepresident.eronmusk you idiot Lombardo wrote it. Go watch some bostaph covers
I don't know how to play drums but i always watch your videos...
Delta You don’t need a band, a band seriously needs you 😂
I'm about 99.9% sure he already is in a band but I've been thinking about for years and still can't figure out which one
This is one of my all-time favorite drum covers, hands down. It is absolutely flawless and a complete joy to watch, as well.
This is great. You really captured Dave's vibe when he plays. A lot folks do Slayer covers but they are too clean. Dave pushed and pulled a bit and that is what made Slayer sound like Slayer. Great job.
Dave and Delta are brothers. Hahahaha just hard and RAW as HeLL! Badass.
Absolutely exactly! Above all the technical difficulties that this song has, there's that one. And I think the rest of the members of the band understood it when he left Slayer. Bostaph is as tremendous as Dave, but cleaner... well... and not so imaginative.. hehehe....

Seems like Delta got it! Cool cover.
Drummers are the backbone of the band.
I’m a guitar player but love the drums. I watch drumming videos all the time. So amazed how these people can move so fast and sound so amazing. So wish I learned how to play them
Percussions including guitar 🎸
who you calling a backbone? this guy aint got no backbone hes literally a super human lmao
Delta was born with drum sticks in his hands straight out of the womb! I swear this is one of our favorite drummers that we most likely know just doing this as a hobby incognito! Imagine if this was actually like Joey Jordison or someone?
Normally I get bored watching drum covers I don't know why, but I was genuinely entertained watching this from start to finish. Spectacular job!
This is how you kick someone’s face in with out laying a single finger on them. Pure brutal precision.
This album is so deep in our spine I could bet that many waited for the next Song to start with the drumming too.. ;-D
This dude's speed is incredible on the rides and the fills. He's insane....
I’ve been coming back to this for years now, and this is the first time I commented, but this drumming is tight as hell!
Wow! That’s gotta be Dave under that mask. No one does that like he does. Great job dude! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
To be *that* precise the entire way through this monster song takes some freakin' insane talent - well done!!
Flawless double bass technique
That groove that kicks in around 2:39 is one of my favorites of all time.
My favourite Slayer song, I thoroughly enjoy watching this. You are a huge talent - thank you for sharing it!
The cow bell kills me ever time it doesn't belong but yet its so fucking right and as always Delta executes everything with such precision.
Best cover I've ever seen in my life!
This dude should be considered the Buckethead of drums. o.O
i reckon its a chick...

Who gives a shit about who he really is? Just appreciate the video in front of you
you can tell its a guy by his MANnerisms .

Unreal. To nail the feel of this track is simply incredible. 👊🏼💪🏼💪🏼
All your speed metal covers are insane! This is one of your best ones.🔥💪🔥
INSANELY clean drumming!
Dude you're melting my face right now. That single foot during the verse WHAT??! Your covers are insanely clean. Who are you?
The single foot has freaked me out too
same

Just when you think this song was hard in the percussion department. This guy tops it, Wow just Wow. Epic Job Sir!
I love it and everything that comes after, I can only repeat it, over and over again and again and ...
You need to be able to like a video more than once, cause I watch this one weekly and want to like it again, everytime!
Here i am, as a tall dude, sitting as high as i can just to nail the double bass parts, yet this guy makes it look like seat height is all a big myth. Props to you masked drummer!
Hey! That's the guy who exposed how all those magic tricks were done!
jaybone23 😂
That was funny!
whats his name?
@@mopoucco2092 here in Brasil, a tv show named him "Mister M".
@@mopoucco2092 Val Valentino
flawless victory
Dude, your cover will make Dave proud. It was insanely played, you nailed it!!!
I'm blown away everytime I watch one of these videos. I picture Delta holed up in this studio endlessly practicing. Nothing but drums 24/7. Double pedal kicks in his sleep. Awaking each day to coffee, energy drinks and bashing away on that awesome kit! I'm jealous!!
As a bass player; love this guy.
That one little ding makes that part even better. From 55 second mark.
Fucking masterpiece and worthy hommage to my #1 favorite metal song of all time. Well done sir.
Most intense Slayer song...u nailed it bro
That guy made that look so easy.
He should be on here making a comment or showing how sweaty he is from that. It was impressive thou no denying that.
The Crazy mask drummer!!! Yeah!!! Congratulations!
Ace work. So heavy. That snare sound is perfect.
Dude, you’re out control! Total badass cover!
TIS THE MEANING OF DRUM COVER.BRAVO!!!
Excellent playing, I really enjoyed it! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The "ding" at 59 seconds is awesome.....only Lombardo does this and it's a perfect little addition to the track
Lombardo adds many things to live performance. I love his ability to improvise and play what he feels on any given night. Makes it's more exciting.
Slaaaaaayyyyyyeerrrrrrr!!! Great drumming sir!
The speed and precision drumming is amazing!
best War Ensemble cover on YT!!!
Awesome Job! Those flam's at around 5:15 can easily be missed but he nailed em. Loved how he added his own flare instead of making an exact duplicate.
5:15?
De todos los que andan por ahí este es sin duda el mejor cover de war ensemble, al menos el que más se acerca, felicidades 🤘🏼
I love how you just sit there at the end like you where confused on what you've even accomplished
He must be sweating balls hitting that hard and wearing gloves, hoodie and a fucking mask.
That was AWESOME
Amazing drum and cymbal sound! Hats off bro!
So first time seeing this and I’m just blown away! My air drums are spot on!! I’m glad to know this is what I look like in the car at a stop light .
I never noticed how serious your right foot was. Impressive
thanx for keeping this music alive
i really like how he mixes his drums
Probably listened to this on the way to work to get up on those tough days a 100 times over the past 3 years or so.. Raised drum levels kinda makes it so I only want to hear this version. So we’ll done..everything about it
You got my sub by covering my favorite Slayer song!! WAR!!!!
Idk wtm bil.
I wanted this years ago...but im glad uou waited to get it absolutely.....perfect. major props.
You earned my subscription with one video ...
Keeping Dave Lombardo's memory alive !! (oh wait, hes not dead :O )
Now THAT was intense!!! Again, I'm blown away.....
Nice job! A Silent Scream cover would be absolutely insane and much appreciated!
You play a lombardo drum composition to perfection... An absolute joy to watch and listen to 👆
insisto, buena calidad de video, buen sonido, Bravo! play strength beyond strength! grettings from Chile!

Браво,
Best drum cover of War Ensamble I have seen....
4:34, that china, being ultra-hammered ;)
It's amazing to see it visually played which makes it easier to figure out. It's not as hard as I thought.
This type of thrash drumming is just forearm torture
