Quite honestly, that was the most satisfying 14 minutes of video I've watched in a long time. I'm a guitarist but I really, really want to get my hands on a set of drums. Bravo my friend, bravo.
How was Lombardo so good? It's not just that he was technically skilled, but he also knew exactly what was the appropriate thing to play to compliment the song.
Great job! SOH is such a great album. I've often said, if the guitars, bass and vocals were stripped away, I could still jam on just listening to Dave's drum tracks.
When it comes to 80s thrash Dave Lombardo is definitely a hero, of course, and like you said fairly hard to mimic. The speed, the precision, the overall performance and intensity. Thank you once again sir
My first time seeing this one. And I've seen many of your videos. But that was AWESOME. Watched it twice even. You. Vicious. Savage. Beast. My new favorite drummer.
Woooow... im gonna keep it real here. This was the first time that i got chills while watching a music video of any kind. Thank you Josh, you are AMAZING!!!
I had a nightmare where Dave Lombardo was playing session for coldplay and then woke up at 3 am doing skank beats in the kitchen. Then I went and watched this video. (This actually happened)
one of the few drummers who until now has managed to equal the master Dave both in technique, which is not a trivial matter, and recreating the sound and accents ... excellent work of study and commitment ...
Favourite Slayer album! I like how they focused more on groove than speed on South Of Heaven. Reign In Blood is good but I think this record dwarfs it!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUCKING WOW!! I don’t know how you remembered all the transitions, but damn! That was a 15 minute Slaygasm!! And you owned every second of it. I loved the added Aggression in the closing song, Fucking Beautiful Josh!!!
Golden stuff from Josh! Using these medleys as a lullaby for my daughter xD She dances in the beginning, then being hypnotized and then falls asleep. Thank u, Josh! =)
Perfect as always. Would really love to see an Angel of Death or War Ensemble cover. Maybe even do the Download 2005 version aka the best Dave Lombardo performance ever!!
I saw that! That guy has serious problems, lol. No reason he should be playing that good still. I saw a silent scream performance too and he just fuckin dominated.
I'm so glad I found this channel.....again fucking great.....I love music and all I want to do is play like this....I mastered baseball, piloting, real estate and the stock market......but this is my love other than pitching and flying....I used to walk out to the mound in front of 15k people to the intro to Hell Awaits....I've said in another video of yours, you are talented in my eyes. Well done!
Josh.... OUTSTANDING BRO!!!! I am a purist when it comes to music. I like the live show to sound as close to the album as possible. I Nominate you to tour with Slayer Dude. HAHA I have watched your videos multiple times. KILLER JOB BROTHER.
By far is my most favorite slayer medley. believe me brother after a hard days work and some cold beers this really hits the spot. thanks for all your hard work and dedication....
As a 49 yo slayer fan I think this is one of theeee best fkin videos I've seen of slayer drumming, and I'm a guitarist.. .. very impressed mi amigo, and stamina to boot!!! Brilliant 👏
I didn't think that this was humanly possible until I saw this video :D 15 minutes of Slayer drums action. Masterfully performed! My utter respect, young man! You made my day!
You are such a great drummer Josh, how can you even play all these songs non-stop and make no mistakes, this is almost impossible......😎 very tight drumming and super crazy fills I love it, you're my favourite drummer on TH-cam
Best video! By far! I'm a drummer myself been a signed artist in my time and i love the metal! But woah! Watched loads of your videos and this is as much an edurance test as well as skill. Cant fault it man. That was a masterpiece-by piece! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I've been waiting for the new Slayer Medley release and here it is! Awesome man, loving it!! Greetings from Kiev,Ukraine! P.S. - Keep doing it! May the power of metal be with you!)
Dude, the fills on this album are killer! And Lombardo was busting this shit out in 1988! Way ahead of his time. Although I love Reign in Blood, I've always thought the drumming on this album was far more dynamic and technical. Much more groove orientated. R.I.B had the raw speed/aggression. South, yet slowed down a bit, had the blistering technique and tempo changes and is maybe the most impressive drum work out of any Slayer album. Seasons is up there too.
People have no idea just how much this album changed me as a kid. I found a SOH cassette laying in the middle of the road day after a snow storm!😮 The streets were pure ice and weren't melted at all. The cassette was pristine. My guess is someone bought a slayer album for the first time, hate it then threw it out the window. The rest of the story is even better. I made out with Dawn Kappler for hours (dry humping and all) to SOUTH OF HEAVEN!! I was forever changed into a Metal Head FOR LIFE 🤘☠️🤘
Awesome, thank you. You make it look easy and there were some parts I didnt hear correctly but watching you play helped me. Excellent technique, tune, and tone!!!
The fact that you play 15 straight minutes of Slayer is amazing

By far my favorite drummer on you you tube. You are bang on with everything you do! Wow I wish I was half this good. Great job Josh 🤘
Josh Steffen your drumming is incredible ! Love all your drum medleys especially SEPULTURA ! Rock on 🤘
Heheheh hehehe I'm speechless ur the only drummer make me smile 😅
Imagine not knowing this was a 15 minute video and come upon the end @ 12:52 which where you started, high af😂😂😂
This is the best drum work that Dave did on any slayer album ever, best fills ever
agreed, he went full 'god mode' on that album
@@officiallion9288 Iconic. Some of the most memorable drum parts in metal history and in 1988.
100%
Seasons has great moments too but SOH still has my heart
You are one of the best drummers i have ever seen!
Whatt...?!!!
What the fuckkk??!!
Me too
Watch his Pantera covers .:). Getcha pull!
Dave Lombardo.....R.I.P
@@jeffomans7322 Never heard of him
Quite honestly, that was the most satisfying 14 minutes of video I've watched in a long time. I'm a guitarist but I really, really want to get my hands on a set of drums. Bravo my friend, bravo.
+Dameon Smith thanks! I have many album medleys you should check out.
Dude kicks ass...
How was Lombardo so good? It's not just that he was technically skilled, but he also knew exactly what was the appropriate thing to play to compliment the song.
He's kinda like the Bonham of metal. Very human.
Incredible, best Slayer's album.
after all these years of watching of this medley....there's 200 views just from me.....i forgot to give a LIKE....shame on me
This was fantastic!! Also I’m gonna go out on a limb and say South of Heaven was the best album for drums in metal ever
I agree
agreed and wanted to add And Justice for All to the list ;)
From now on, this is where i'll come to listen to Slayer
One of the best drum covers in youtube!
agree
Yes!!!!!!!!!!
awesome Josh Lombardo! haha lol
Dave would be proud.
Great job! SOH is such a great album. I've often said, if the guitars, bass and vocals were stripped away, I could still jam on just listening to Dave's drum tracks.
Drank a whole beer while watching this, most satisfying beer ever.
When it comes to 80s thrash Dave Lombardo is definitely a hero, of course, and like you said fairly hard to mimic. The speed, the precision, the overall performance and intensity. Thank you once again sir
THIS ONLY MAKES ME HAVE EVEN A GREATER RESPECT FOR DAVE LOMBARDO... AWESOME DRUMMIMG... THANK YOU MAN!!! THAT WAS AWESOME!!!
My first time seeing this one. And I've seen many of your videos. But that was AWESOME. Watched it twice even.
You. Vicious. Savage. Beast.
My new favorite drummer.
+James McClellan (Mercuryan) thanks!
Bravooooooooo
Most accurate drummer everrr
This Slayer medley is epic! Awesome drumming Josh! That was sick!
Somebody sponsor Josh! Zildjian should be giving you cymbals for free!

God dam Dave was on top of his game. His playing and the tracks he wrote for this album are crazy

I have been waiting waiting for this. One of my favorite albums of all time when it comes to drumming. Thank you.
I had a nightmare where Dave Lombardo was playing session for coldplay and then woke up at 3 am doing skank beats in the kitchen. Then I went and watched this video. (This actually happened)
one of the few drummers who until now has managed to equal the master Dave both in technique, which is not a trivial matter, and recreating the sound and accents ... excellent work of study and commitment ...
Thanks a lot! I'm big on the nuances but still give myself a B.
This fella is paying his respects whenever he can fit it in. I love it🤘
The best camera mugs ever lmao. you smiled, i smiled. enjoyment clearly evident. one of a kind

I didn't think that this was humanly possible until I saw this video :D 15 minutes of Slayer drums action. Masterfully performed! My utter respect, young man! You made my day!
Criminally underrated album on my part….until recently. Wasn’t into this one as much as I was Metallica in the 80’s. I appreciate this so much now🤘🏼
Thanks for demonstrating the brilliance of Dave Lombardo.
+David Benc Dave rules

+James Ruzzo I agree, south and seasons are my favorite albums of theirs. They both are well balanced.
Exactly what ive said all along,sounds great today but Dave Lombardo was rippin this shit 35yrs ago waaaaay before its time...he is a true Prodigy
People have no idea just how much this album changed me as a kid. I found a SOH cassette laying in the middle of the road day after a snow storm!😮 The streets were pure ice and weren't melted at all.

that was sick
Awesome, thank you. You make it look easy and there were some parts I didnt hear correctly but watching you play helped me. Excellent technique, tune, and tone!!!
Sem cortes, putz, incrível! Parabéns!
i dont know how to play drums but i can tell you play exactly like him.
13:35 made me cry
Hot dang!!! Stumbled across this. Amazing 👍🏻
Flawless playing from start to finish!
Das Beste , was ich bis jetzt gesehn habe... saugeil!!!
Your definitely the best drummer for me
Thanks a lot Josh. You make me feel like such a peasant with my skills now ;)
Would even love a Rust in Peace Polaris cover.
Unreal man ,so impressive!
Kick pedal cam in the future? And stellar performance yet again. Keep up the awesome work guy
