@@justin6point7 and, recently, Mr Bungle? Saw them earlier this year and they were awesome. Super thrash band with Dave, Mike Patton and Scott Ian. Not overlooking core members Trevor and Trey.
Dave Lombardo IMO is the greatest thrash drummer out there! Paul Bostaph is really really good, but he didn't help bring Slayer to the metal masses with his style, it was already cemented by Dave. My vote for another drummer expose would be Charlie Benante.
I really like Bostaph. It seems like there's a certain technical edge that pops out when he plays. You never hear about him like you do with Dave and Gene. But they are all phenomenal.
Lombardo imo is the best metal drummer alive today. He has a certain "swing" (maybe not the word) that more technical drummers usually lack. Most creative fills since Bill Ward.
Except Gene himself acknowledges that he wasn't that good of a roadie and ended up getting kicked out. Fortunately, he put in the work and ended up joining Dark Angel. The rest is history!
Dave, gene and Tomas Hakke are my top 3 of all time, though I didn't know gene was the death drummer, his work with Devin Townsend and SYL is insane! 🤘
He is one of the best drummers period. Creative, technical, great feel to his playing, he is up there in the pantheon of great drummers regardless of genre
"South Of Heaven" was "The Lombardo" album for me. The Man is awesome, playing with true "musicality" if there is a term : he plays what every song needs, he is fast, powerful, he has groove, fantastic ideas, awesome sound .... A true god of drums. The Original Slayer were the Fab Four of Extreme Metal ! Kerry should be ashamed for the way he treated Dave :(
WERD, South of heaven is the most complete thrash metal album made to date, every track is a masterpiece, it's been one of my top 5 albums of all time!🤘🤘🤘
You need to focus on Dave's fills, e.g. Ghosts of War, that same Postmortem live clip, Rusty Nail from Grip Inc, start of South of Heaven, Seasons of the Abyss.
I went a few years ago to a Suicidal Tendencies concert in Berlin. Mike invited us all on stage and a bunch got up and we just moshed our asses of next to the band. I stood directly in front of Dave Lombardo with only the sound of his live drum sound in my face, I only got the acoustic sound not the miked sound. I felt every kick, snare and symbol. Awesome 👏
How about John Dette? Never got to record with them and the whole band faded into obscurity in that era, but interestingly enough he's gone pretty much under the radar.
There are some songs online of John playing those shows in Australia back in the day when Dave was fired again. Not gonna lie, at least at that point in time, he was the best of the 3 live. So much power, taste and confidence.
It's because he leads with his left hand, and it leaves you in a different position after, during and before fills, that you simply can't replicate leading with the right hand
My favorite Drummers: Dave Lombardo from Slayer, Bonzo (John Bonham) from Led Zeppelin, Pete Sandoval from Morbid Angel, Phil Taylor & Mikkie Dee from Motorhead and Vinnie Paul from Pantera. Let's not forget the human metronome Phil Rudd from AC/DC.
Personally my favorite drumming of Dave pertaining to technicality is definitely South of Heaven the entire album. Esp on songs like Behind the Crooked Cross, and crazy double bass endurance on Silent Scream. For some reason Dave stated he hates the drumming on that album, but he was playing on another level with the drum fills and being more technical compared to his straight up thrash drumming like on Reign In Blood. Do a video on Paul Bostaph. Paul's drumming on Forbidden's first album Forbidden Evil is awesome. Even before he was in Slayer, he was already killing it Forbidden. There's footage of Paul performing with Forbidden on the Combat records Combat Tour 2 movie from 1988.
I’m NEW to drumming but not to Slayer. I grew up when they and Metallica etc. were starting out. Dave Lombardo just gives me an insane rush (I do love Rush also). The feeling of top of the line hardcore drums matched with Slayers intense everything else- yeah it’s just kick ass !
Dave Lombardo is one of my 4 favorite drummers. I actually liked his drumming more in Grip Inc, but of course he was awesome in Slayer. For unasked information, to round out my favorites list - Haruna (Lovebites) Tomas Haake (Meshuggah) Martin Lopez (Soen, ex-Opeth)
I asked Dave once what it is like to be a drum GOD…he very kindly said I don’t think of it that way,I’m just blessed…does that guy know how to party or what
Thanks! I just asked my patrons about whom they’d like me to invite on the channel next! So yes!!! There are more interviews coming! I actually release at least one interview a week, but some of them go on the second channel!🤘
Here you go - www.youtube.com/@MP2 So basically all "classic" bands go on the Metal Pilgrim channel, and newer bands interviews go on the second channel! Thanks a lot and please don't ever hesitate to share any suggestions on how to improve the show!
I’m not reading all of the comments. But I think there’s better examples off of “Reign” than could have been used. Just my opinion. No matter what, you can’t deny that Dave is a great drummer. Dave “jazzy” Lombardo. Great person. Great drummer
Dave is probably one if my favorite drummers to listen to and watch. Dave with the misfits live sounds like the albums but a bit faster and its always fun to see danzig try to keep up lol sadly i never saw dave with slayer
Lombardo is my favorite drummer ever and I’m on his side in his feud with Slayer (he’s since moved on and wish the band well but Kerry is still a baby about the whole thing)
Agree with all this and love Lombardo! Later stuff from him would be best for me. I was intrigued to hear how his timing on Raining Blood is actually a bit off - nobody is perfect I guess!?
No drummer plays thrash as good as Lombardo, the riffs of slayer rip like fuck but Lombardo is the secret sauce that takes it to 11. Only guys that come close are igor and gene.
Before I first saw them live in the 90s, I remember hearing that Dave kept an oxygen tank next to his drumkit, so he wouldn’t pass out after the more intense parts of the concert. Not sure if that was true but he’s always been one of my favourites alongside Danny Carey and more recently Brann Dailor.
It goes to this, you’re the one who actually sat and wrote and designed the song structure with your instrument vs the one who is payed to play as close the the og. Eff you Kerry king, sounds like money I only wish he went to a p diddy party. But he’s too smart and dumb at the same time if you get my GIZM
Actually Dave Lombardo is my example for bad drumming. Yes, bad. Not technically. He is great in mastering the instrument and the notes. But no great in *playing the song*. Two drummers that are really great an PLAY THE SONG are Ken Ovens from Carcass (before getting sick) and Ventor from Kreator. Dave Lombardo plays *something* above the song. Just like a session drummer who hears the song the first time an improvises something above. And even Lars Ulrich *lives* the song!
Dave Lombardo is the GOAT speed/thrash metal drummer IMO but Paul Bostaph, Gene Hoglan, Eloy Casagrande, & Tomas Haake are just as good if not better in some fans' opinions.
Whom should we do such exercise with next?
Nick Menza (RIP)
Igor Cavalera
Danny Carey
Dave again, but with Fantomas

Agreed on all accounts.
@@CorpseGrinder1967Cannibal Corpse?😎👍
Gene Hoglan
I really like Bostaph. It seems like there's a certain technical edge that pops out when he plays.
You never hear about him like you do with Dave and Gene. But they are all phenomenal.
Lombardo would tell you to check out Tom Hunting

Dave has a swing. He also has a Keith Moon slop to him. The rare example of technique, feel, or swing and slop
Swing is EXACTLY the right Word, brother!
Cuban, the swing is in his DNA
As a drummer, Slayer fan and a southern California native myself, David is the man IMO!
Gene Hoglan was his drum tech and double bass wizard who took Dave to that next level. All hail the Atomic Clock!

Dave is such a bad-ass that he left Slayer and became a world-class, in-demand Jazz session drummer.
"South Of Heaven" was "The Lombardo" album for me.
The Man is awesome, playing with true "musicality" if there is a term :
he plays what every song needs, he is fast, powerful, he has groove, fantastic ideas, awesome sound .... A true god of drums.

Dave is the Buddy Rich of Thrash
\m/ \m/
Dave Lombardo brought it to the next level and definitely was the best part of Slayer
Thanks! Always nice to hear Mr Lombardo!
When Lombardo play it's as if the drums explode, he is a legend , that's it !
A great way to describe his style. Explosive.
I never got into Slayer. I saw Lombardo playing with Mr. Bungle last year, though, and he killed it.
Dave Lombardo is a legend 🙌
That Angel Of Death one.....holy shit. It sounds like double bass rolls after every measure, which is near every second!
Fastest double bass at the time
You need to focus on Dave's fills, e.g. Ghosts of War, that same Postmortem live clip, Rusty Nail from Grip Inc, start of South of Heaven, Seasons of the Abyss.

Right now, Jon would be behind the drums for their return as unfortunately Paul is not the old Paul anymore :-(...
Am i the only one that could hear the rest of the song in their head while listening to the isolated clips
Was belting out lyrics over South of heaven bahahaha totally agree
For me his work with Grip Inc. is maybe the best he's ever done....just amazing
@@kosbou21 Testament the gathering great too
I'm old lol I forgot about grip Inc, they were awesome from memory, time to UA-cam dive for grip Inc🤘
Got the Awesome tee shirt and thank you so much for the hand written thank you card I got to🤘🤘🤘
So glad it has made it! Thanks a lot for your support!
Daves playing has a feel to it, his time feels really good and he was very inventive
It's because he leads with his left hand, and it leaves you in a different position after, during and before fills, that you simply can't replicate leading with the right hand
Lombardo! Slayer was better with him behind the kit!!!!
It’s 100% Dave Lombardo is Slayers Best Drummer in my books! Wasn’t he also involved in Jazz Drumming at some point in his life? 😊

There's footage of Paul performing with Forbidden on the Combat records Combat Tour 2 movie from 1988.
I think the slower songs give him more room to run with it. Less chaos in the way.
Ghosts of War and Spirit in Black are my favorite drum tracks by Dave. 🤘
Ghosts of war is my all time favourite Slayer track, it is the epitome of thrash!
Dave …you’re one of my childhood Heroes..!
Purely Legendary 🤘🏽
I’m NEW to drumming but not to Slayer.
I grew up when they and Metallica etc. were starting out.
Dave Lombardo just gives me an insane rush (I do love Rush also). The feeling of top of the line hardcore drums matched with Slayers intense everything else- yeah it’s just kick ass !
I prefer the 1985' Dave Lambardo show no mercy live, you should show that video too.
Dave is very organic & smooth 100% my favorite drummer
King of drumming is his majesty Pete Commando Sandoval,the best ever.Greetings from Bosnia,Samir.
Yeah pete rules
Dave Lombardo is one of my 4 favorite drummers. I actually liked his drumming more in Grip Inc, but of course he was awesome in Slayer.
For unasked information, to round out my favorites list -
Haruna (Lovebites)

Love both Dave Lombardo and Paul Bostaphs drumming!
Same
Seeing Lombardo doing solo drumming shows he is way better a drummer than he ever got to demonstrate while in Slayer.
I asked Dave once what it is like to be a drum GOD…he very kindly said I don’t think of it that way,I’m just blessed…does that guy know how to party or what
Any chance of more interviews I personally think they’re the best part of your channel.

Those were the days; when you heard what the person was playing. Everything is so processed, sampled, spliced, and triggered, now.
Dave Lombardo is SLAYER !!
I think you should make a video about Paul Bostaph not only because of his work with Slayer but for the work he also did with Forbidden and Testament!
His work with Exodus was great too
i totally agree
@arvindshastry1178 he did a album with systematic as well
Both please
Dave said he never warms up before a show.
Lombardo yes but i would have to say Kirk Arrington ( RIP) Metal Church was right on his heels
Lol who? It's what's his name still playing and on point like Dave? It's ok to have favourites catering to personal tastes, but C'mon dude 😎

Yeah man awesome video , can you do a drummer series including Paul Bostaph , Jon Dette , Charlie Benante , and Tom Hunting
Most technical? No. Best? Yes. Pure speed and fury.
Goat 🤘 single stroke master, leads with the left hand, still going sick in Mr bungle, nothing but quality and brutality!!!!!
You should have played DNR when he was in testament.
Have you heard Philm? Dave's drumming is insanely good!
Agree with all this and love Lombardo! Later stuff from him would be best for me. I was intrigued to hear how his timing on Raining Blood is actually a bit off - nobody is perfect I guess!?
Dave is pure genius on drums, Paul is more metronome oriented, but I can watch both of them all day long!! Slayer forever 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
Dave Lombardo, Gene Hoglan, Pete Sandoval, Nicholas Barker, Hellhammer they are all the same breed
HFY!!!!! HELL FUCKING YEAH!!!!!! BAR NONE!!!!!!\MM/
He’s one of the greatest drummers in general.
Thanks for sharing.
Check out Empire State Bastard too, full of Lombardo goodness!
DAVE RULES!
Yes. He's the best drummer of all time.
Don't know if he's the best, but he's my favorite.
Dave is the best drummer on the face of the planet..
Lombardo RULLLLLLESSSSS
The king
Tom Hunting never gets the praise he deserves
THE greatest drummer of all time!!!
Magic Lombardo
as good as dave is.. i have to say that something insanely special happened on divine intervention.
No drummer plays thrash as good as Lombardo, the riffs of slayer rip like fuck but Lombardo is the secret sauce that takes it to 11.
Only guys that come close are igor and gene.

Dave is good but, Aaron Kitcher is awesome, amazing
Until Bostaph ARRIVED ;)
Paul sucks compared to Dave
@@joepeters5228 😆😆😆😆RETARD
Fantastic drummer indeed
Not sure about this best business
Does it matter
War Ansemble?
Kiss alive is a good album
It sounds like it’s being played slightly slower.
Yes he is iconic to be fair, but he aint no Jamie Saint Merat
Gene Hoglan
Dont think these songs represented daves drumming.maybe im just sick of the all the well known slayer songs.he was a roll master.
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
