goddamn if your heart doesn't start beating faster around 2:05 I don't know if you're human... This is one of those songs that still gives me goosebumps even after I've listened to it thousands of times.
Josh Steffen awesome work, this just goes to show you can do badass shit and not have a $8,000 drum kit. Don’t get me wrong, Lombardo is amazing, but this sounds identical on a standard kit!
Oh man. This song reminds me of high school, being 16, getting my license and blasting this song out of my crappy toyota hatchback on the way to shitty school at too early in the morning, sipping coffee. fuck school
I used to play this in my covers band back in the 90's...... but this guy has nailed it - not just the iconic fills, but also the way Dave starts fills a bit earlier than you'd usually expect.
Thanks a lot dude! The answer to that is usually anywhere from 2 to 5 times in a row before I get it good enough. Lotta studying before I even sit behind the kit - once I have a good handle on it I play it for a half-hour and choose the best one.
This song was one of the songs that got me back into metal. This is one solid cover. I was expecting your arm to cramp up but you sure as hell got the skills.
The first video I've seen which allows you to hear and see what Dave is capable of when Jeff solos....the fills behind the solo are just fucking unbelievable - and you, good sir, have nailed them! This brings great joy to my heart......the greatest metal song ever written, on the greatest metal album ever conceived.....a worthy song to cover, if you have the skill, which this guy certainly has....
@@THEDC777 I've said it to someone else on UA-cam...I think part of the reason why Dave can play things no one else would even dream of trying is because of his Cuban heritage. The complex polyrhythms of Afro Cuban ritual drum music are similar in some respects. Perhaps it is in Dave's blood, like a collective unconscious thing?
I've been playing the guitar my whole life. Know nothing whatsoever about drums. But please tell how to stop watching this. This song and its drum work is one of the world's seven wonders. This is why the video was filmed in Giza - Egypt.
We have to say orchestral music, rock n' roll and metal in general are the only genres that explode all the potential the instruments have in the human body.
Me and Slayer go back a long way. This was always one of my favourite's way back when. Lombardo's drumming always impressed me, and seriously, your take on this is very impressive. Well done!
@@joshsteffen It is, I've been trying to play this song on my drumset but it sounds no where near as good as this. All your covers are phenomenal, I also love the Psychosocial cover, and Creeping Death. Hope you're having a great day, and always looking forward to new covers and videos!
"There's so many crazy fills throughout this one..." ...and you're the craziest one to nailed them all... Great job man...Bostaph might start thinking about retirement :D
I have jammed this album and south of heaven since day one. I never get tired of it and I've not even moved on to any other slayer albums I've heard a few other new slayer songs but I'm stuck with good cause on these two.
Ok, I’ve been drumming for about 35 years or so…play a lot of metal. Slayer is one of my faves to play, and I have even been in a couple mildly successful Slayer tribute bands. That said…holy crap man!! This is probably one of, if not THE best renditions of this song in the drums that I have heard!! You’re one of my new heroes brother!!!
Good lord! I had no ideas those fills were that damn complex! So many single shots between the snare and toms. Then the odd rests just give it so much texture. INSANE!!!!
Josh Steffen This video completely brought me back to my 8th grade garage band trying to nail this song. I am now looking at used sets to pick it up again. Thanks for the motivation buddy
Well done sir...Mr. Lombardo would be proud of you. Seriously though, very well done. I've been trying to play this since 9th grade when it came out and I'm now 47. Tip of the cap to you sir
I also like how this guy nearly, very nearly loses it at about 1:32 (one too many hits), but recovers it brilliantly - we're all only human, after all! Even Dave....probably.....
Me too josh I like south of heaven too 😊 By the way checked out your south of heaven medley it was great I will have to do one along the lines I am working on seasons after the song I am working on now so that will be fun.
I literally can't watch this enough times, and I am a guitarist.
Nice dude. See the seasons medley?
Josh Steffen no, I will check that out next. Awesome stuff.
RiverblacK this the best drummer in here. I can't stop watching his videos and im a guitarist too. Josh you rock!
I said the exact same thing on his Morbid Angel God Of Emptiness Video...
That's because drums are God. You have been sold a lie
3:13 - 3:15 one of the greatest metal drum fills ever!
A masterpiece by Dave which really shows why hes regarded as one of the best metal drummers ever, nice one mate, got it perfect, joy to watch.
Yep, his drumming in this song just drives the song perfectly.
@@mcgarnacle21 Drums are the most impressive thing about this song
Since around 2014, I watch this video about once a year but around a 50 times in a row. I especially love the drumming at the one minute mark.
It's one of the best metal songs ever created.
Same here, I come back every now and then, love the bit at 1:11
you wait for it, 1:11-1:16 it comes, and he nails it.
Viewing Account made my eyes water
Haha I was waiting for this moment. And he nailed it. 👌
Exactly!
That's my favorite 🥁 rolls
goddamn if your heart doesn't start beating faster around 2:05 I don't know if you're human... This is one of those songs that still gives me goosebumps even after I've listened to it thousands of times.
For me the moment is at 3:13. That fill is so tight
Same!!🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I wish you were my neighbor, I play all the same songs on guitar
1:12 da fuq
that's what the real drummer does in the song :)
@Hipomasulo Gaming The legendary Dave Lombardo!
Hi Dave
@@widerflicks9096 that's how the real drummer does the song :)
no one is gonna say anything about @0:58 ? nailed it
Worth checking out. One of my favorites!
I think we need a new seasons with the new camera and more :D
Anibal Burgos not a bad idea
c'mon dude. it's timeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Josh Steffen awesome work, this just goes to show you can do badass shit and not have a $8,000 drum kit. Don’t get me wrong, Lombardo is amazing, but this sounds identical on a standard kit!
still waiting :l
3:13
9 months later, the drums had a baby
By far my favorite drummer on UA-cam
Thanks
Marcus Fitzgerald agreed
I second that for sure!!
Same
I agree he is good but let's not forget 66SAMUS and his drumming assaults and badassery!
Oh man. This song reminds me of high school, being 16, getting my license and blasting this song out of my crappy toyota hatchback on the way to shitty school at too early in the morning, sipping coffee. fuck school
Man, 3:12 gotta be one of my favourite drums fills of all time
Dave Lombardo is a god. This was an AMAZING COVER
This is the first drum cover I've ever watched, I usually watch guitar covers. Excellent job!! This would make for an awesome drum solo also.
Awesome!
i was waiting on limbs to fly off at 1:14
+Wrath Raven Go see live undead
Will do Anderson Silva.also,PLEASE DO SATYRICON:COMMANDO

Best METAL cover drummer on UA-cam!!!
SLAAAAYYYYEERRR!!!! you are badass sir
SLAAAAAYYYEERRRR!
In the words of Jim Breuer "RELEASE THE SLAYER FANS" LOL

I agree with you 1000000%. He beats the fuck out if the drums & the fill is unlike any ive ever heard. HES A GODDAMN MASTER!

Bruh, the sound of your snare is KILLER!
Love this song. There's so many insane, complex, and fast fills. Great emulation of a legendary drummer. Well done.
2:52 Nice!
You need to quit your day, afternoon, and whatever follows job. Incredible , just absolutely incredible
We have to say orchestral music, rock n' roll and metal in general are the only genres that explode all the potential the instruments have in the human body.
Sick cover dude! I'm 14 and practicing hard, and you're great inspiration. Keep it up!
I love to hear that man! Drummers provided the inspiration to get me where I am now when I was your age. So that's very cool of you to say.
Check out my channel ***** I have hundreds of covers.
damn, you must be a pro by now haha
Marcos Romão yes haha
Yep still playing hahaha
Me and Slayer go back a long way. This was always one of my favourite's way back when. Lombardo's drumming always impressed me, and seriously, your take on this is very impressive. Well done!
Thanks a lot!
I find myself coming back to this video daily. Just magnificent.
I still watch it from time to time! One of the standout covers in my eyes.
@@joshsteffen It is, I've been trying to play this song on my drumset but it sounds no where near as good as this. All your covers are phenomenal, I also love the Psychosocial cover, and Creeping Death. Hope you're having a great day, and always looking forward to new covers and videos!
I'm not a drummer, but I'd say he nailed it. Drummers are a different breed of musician. Much respect.
Yes... this videos lives in 2017! Great, very fucing great!!!!
It's amazing to see the passion you put in Slayer covers. Your love of their music really comes through in the videos. Love watching them!
Man this cover is pure fucking gold, the timing is perfect and those fucking fills.... THOSE FUCKING FILLS bro...
Love your style of Drumming Brother.!
I’m 50 and have been playing since I was 10 and I can appreciate how you play.!
Thanks! Just hit 40 and started when i was 10 as well.
"There's so many crazy fills throughout this one..." ...and you're the craziest one to nailed them all... Great job man...Bostaph might start thinking about retirement :D
;)
ViperDeez bostaph needs to give lombardo his job back
3:13 holy shit dude
I Wonder how Slayer haven't found u yet with a huge contract man...so clean and brutal...respect from Greece bro..
Probably the best drum cover on UA-cam
slayer will kick bostaph out if you sent in this... holy cow...
LOL
Only if he is cheaper..lol.
Surely cheaper and better
Björn Adriaansens bostaph is a great drummer, but he cant mach Lombardo
Bostaph < Dave the real drummer of slayer
stellar man stellar... if you sent this to slayer.. they will kick out bostaph for sure and hire you.
Thanks man. ;)
Bostaph is one of my favourite drummer... his drum work is simply excellent. But man, in his latest live show... unrecognizable. So sad😖
HolyShit dude!!!
Mr. Dave Lombardo would salute you!!
That was Totally Awesome!!
Damn..! Great job my guy!!!👍🤘🥁
I have jammed this album and south of heaven since day one. I never get tired of it and I've not even moved on to any other slayer albums I've heard a few other new slayer songs but I'm stuck with good cause on these two.
lombardo is so creative. this drum track is great
That was phenomenal. How have I just found this. Simply amazing. Absolutely phenomenal 👏👏👏
Dave Lombardo = God.
You did it very well. I enjoyed a lot watching it.
Absolutely fantastic... nailed it note for note... best drum work right there... no matter what era of music. This is a masterpiece.
Love seeing you keeping his shit alive brutha!!!!!!!!!
That's amazing. Ciao from Bologna, Italy

Idk if it’s the cocky 3rd wall breaking smirks or the power behind the playing but this dude is my favorite drummer on UA-cam.
Slayer's Seasons in the Abyss! Follow this link if viewing on a phone. drumcovers.tv/2013/09/seasons-in-the-abyss-by-slayer/
you nailed it Brother!"
Good lord! I had no ideas those fills were that damn complex! So many single shots between the snare and toms. Then the odd rests just give it so much texture. INSANE!!!!
GIVING ME THE CHILLS 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
You absolutely destroy, brother. Keep it up
Thanks

That's excellent!
What a beast man!! 🤘🤘
Holy fucking shit dude. I felt this performance, bravo my dude💪
I was too! Such a good song!
Lombardo would struggle to keep up!! GODDAMN BROTHER YOU ARE FUCKIN AMAZING
Best slayer drum cover ever. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
@@THEDC777 YESSIR I absolutely agree...talent demeonstrated in amazing visuals.. Mind blowing.
The fill at 3:11 is fucking badass bro!
;)
Gave me chills.... Literally!!
My favourite song by Slayer
You're a fantastic drummer. Great improvising on some of them rolls. Very impressive.
Well done sir...Mr. Lombardo would be proud of you. Seriously though, very well done. I've been trying to play this since 9th grade when it came out and I'm now 47. Tip of the cap to you sir
extraordinary drumming!!!!!!!!!!
Where's your Gong brother!
What Dave Lombardo hits is called the China cymbal
Either World Painted Blood or Angel Of Death.... those songs are just beautiful.
Brilliant that man one of my favourite slayer songs for drums there so much happening in one song some rapid moves awesome 👌
I was curious and checked him out doing war ensemble. He's a badass!
Wow this guy is amazing! :)
A durums fill Lombardo wrote and used only at last track of the insane that we cannot forget.
This song looks like so much fun to play.
Yes! Very Very GooD!!!! Thanks from Italy!
this is some of ur best work
+stop light one of my favorites
I also like how this guy nearly, very nearly loses it at about 1:32 (one too many hits), but recovers it brilliantly - we're all only human, after all! Even Dave....probably.....
Dude you are rocking. You could be an emergency back up drummer for Slayer.
the best Slayer song ever!!!
I'd agree with ya
Me too josh I like south of heaven too 😊 By the way checked out your south of heaven medley it was great I will have to do one along the lines I am working on seasons after the song I am working on now so that will be fun.
Excellent drum cover Slater rules .......
Good ol Slater. You got that right, preppy. My apologies if you don't get the reference. ;)
+Josh Steffen Funny!
Josh Steffen SCREECH!!!
this line of drums is awesome, vivat Lombardo!
might be the best drum cover I’ve ever seen
Te pasaste amigo, increíble, magnífico, espectacular, me dejaste sorprendido por tu nivel de perfección, sin duda eres un crack!
this is simply amazing! oh the things id give to be able to play this as good as you do! keep it up :)
Thanks a lot man!
I saved your video a long time ago, and just rewatched it. Love it! Thanks.
You really are the man...hitting on those cymbals
Sick Videos man, probably the best Metal covers here on the web i've seen so far!
keep up the great work!
- Bachir
Thanks a lot dude
looked for slayer drum covers and found some pathetic bitter piece covers. THIS is a slayer cover, good work brother!
Thanks dude!
Can't believe how good Dave was for this band, he is the best.
You're the shit Josh! UP THE IRONS , rock on and God bless
Holy Shit, that was awesome
eargasm
You absolutely hammer Dave Lombardo’s best song
Awee, those Lombardo fills...❤ SPOT ON!!! 👍
