When you don't have to look at your drums to play, but keep your eyes closed and become one with music, he has attained musical bliss - so much admiration for how much this man loves music and drums, Slayer lost one of the best and I'll always consider him the Godfather of fitting music together perfectly. I salute you Dave, thank you for all the years of headbanging from your beats. You are #1.
Most people in this comment section talking about soloing drum skills (rudiments, chops, double strokes, etc.) without realizing one thing: even if those set of skills were already being used in jazz, funk and gospel (which comparing drummers from those genres to Dave is just absurd), when Lombardo came to the (metal) scene, his style of playing was unheard of at the time. There was a guy that had the same level of skill in both hands and feet and could use them musically to elevate a song in it's majority and not just for filler. Take into consideration this happened before Death Metal or Black Metal were even born...genres that of course were inspired in any sorts of ways by Dave Lombardo's playing style. That's why he's the Godfather, and even now with all the years of carreer both behind and ahead of him, he's still one of the fittest and tightest drummers out there today (for a cringe worthy example of the opposite, please see Lars Ulrich). The guy could or can follow rules from other musical ventures, but really he doesn't need to...he created some of those rules to begin with.
Exactly! he's also a left handed guy who plays right handed drumset... he alwys starts his fast double bass passages with the left foot :) ...and moreover, I don't know any other metal drummer who regularly plays with guys like John Zorn or Bill Laswell - those guys don't give shit about your fame, they need a complete and versatile musician...
Watching Dave play gives me goosebumps on my arms. Truth. I'm a drummer of 35 years, and this guy is forever is my mentor of whom I've never met. Thank you Dave Lombardo for your inspiring and incredible drumming that has captivated me as a drummer my entire life. Thank you man
Triggers aren't what people think. U still need the speed and more so precision w/ triggers. They are certainly NOT a trick, or an easy way around double bass.
@@christopherchesaux3554 But...if you set up the triggers a certain way, you don't need to hit as hard or as consistently hard. Which is why you see a lot of drummers doing that and setting up the beaters with very short movement to the bass drum head. That type of technique is generally frowned upon. Kollias triggers, but he also keeps the beaters far back from the head---no cheating there. But when you're playing 250+bpm 16ths, you really have to trigger. Dave never plays anywheres near that fast, and has ridiculously strong & consistent feet, so he doesn't need to use triggers live.
Thank you Dave, you are the dream of any bassplayer, a drummer that plays with all his heart, and enjoys every tick from the metronome, the guy always improvised in slayer, on tour, not 2 songs came back with the same guitar licks nor bass Lines, things,
My all time favorite! Soppy disgusting deranged herky jerky chaotic with the most control of Any drummer on Earth! Dave Lombardo sir you are the reason for being a drummster I am this day! Your videos should get us to remember who's the best. Thank you man!
Lol the cymbals arnt bad either.the rude series cymbals(used by lombardo and joey jordison and a few other big names) will blow ya ear drums out from the depth of sound they have.which is great for heavy rock or metal genre music
@@johnmcdonough4676 I guess lol isn't that what commercial is about. lol Ya I know what u mean they have the best Ride the power Ride or the dry Ride by Paiste and Zildjian to they make good cymbals. They sound so crisp and sharp
Kit sounds awesome - love the cymbals especially that right China! Enjoy Dave's playing and he has amazing double bass sound. Great solid solo. David Curtis Drumming
Back in the late 90's I used to hang out with cannibal corpse in tampa fl. On one of the Slayer tours they stopped by and hanged out and we got an improptu show with the 15 people there. It was awesome. Being that up close. R.I.P Jeff he was terror on the guitar.
A great drummer in the shadow of a great band. He’s not valued at the same level as Slayer, but sometimes Dave is somehow greater then Slayer! Love this guy and his personality.
In my eyes slayer wouldnt have that iconic sound without lombardo.but honestly hes not in the shadow of that band.i like him more in suicidal tendicies
This guy right here, you read every comment section on every video hes feature almost to a unanimous recognition and yet he does not receive all the recognition he deserves, now go watch again the video and tell me hes not right up there with the greats
no triggers...amazing the depth you can get when you rely on skill, power, feeling, and hit placement - always will be one of my biggest influences on playing
More reason to respect the pure talent in one foot then many famous drummers. Any band any type of music his signature drum styles stick out, a testament to his enormous talent.
UNMATCHED IN SPEED , ACCURACY. TECHNIQUE, THE MOST MIMICKED DRUMMER IN METAL// THE MAN IS SELF TAUGHT// AS HE SAID HE LEARNED MORE LISTENING TO MUSIC WHEN HE WAS YOUNG ALTHOUGH HE DID SAY THAT IS NOT ALWAYS THE WAY YOU SHOULD LEARN// DAVE LOMBARDO IS A PHENOM \,,,/
Always knew Lombardo was a hell of a drummer, but this shows just how much of a virtuoso he is. One of the finest drum solo I've ever seen. I suggest Mario Duplantier' solos too.
It's crazy that in the '80s they were considered a satanic band and after all these years they are just humble guys that are just trying to make a living with all the awesome Talent they have. Whenever I come across a Dave Lombardo video I'm clicking to support him.
We had Neal Peart from RUSH. Then we had Dave Lombardo. I would've given anything to see a drum solo with both of them in it. Same time on the stage. Talk about drum epicness!!!!
Just like with Bonham's "Moby Dick", I can do most of that but I Can't put it together flawlessly as those two monsters did. Thank you for being an inspiration Dave. If you had a symbol on your kick drum as John did, I would respectfully tat it on my other shoulder.
Saw him play at Clash of the Titans with Slayer back in 1992? Anyway, the drumming in that show was insane. Say what you will about death metal lyrics and the image of Slayer, but seeing Jeff Hanneman and Tom Araya play on stage with Dave Lombardo was a real treat. I’ve seen Slayer play since then, but that night the sound was just about perfect and made for a special performance. The drums for Megadeth and Slayer were just insane! It has always stood out as the best show I’ve ever been to. And yeah, he’s just getting warmed up here.
@Carlos Loera exactly, the Art Blakely of Metal! Art Blakey is the pioneer of Be Bop Jazz that set a completely new standard that Jazz drummers still build on today. Dave Lombardo is the pioneer of Thrash Metal drumming setting a completely new standard that Metal drummers still build on today. Drumming might have evolved since then, but it all wouldn't have been possible without the pioneers. Respect the pioneers because they are the originators that changed history!
Dave is a legend! And like someone already said his while set up sounds great but that's the snare sound I am looking for. You guys know what snare he's using? What wood it's made from? The Tama ALP G-walnut is a nice sounding snare and in my price range too! Thanks for the video Paiste!!
He is the best Heavy Metal drummer in the world (after Bill Ward), no one is as fast and powerful as him. He revolutionized today's techniques which at the time were witchcraft, he is the best. I hope to meet you one day Dave🥁🤘🏻
The dime bag Darryl of drummers. Super nice guy, no ego, having a good time, willing to teach and help anyone out. Love Dave!
I guess that made Dimebag Darryl the Lombardo of guitarists. 🤔
@@richmoreno9938 damn... that didn't even cross my mind tbh lol
Possessed, supernice guy, just like Dimebag. Possessed.
He really is. Incredibly disarming. No ego. Would love to shake the man’s hand and just thanks for what he’s done.
@@alexbaum2204 you and me both bro 🤘
How can you NOT love Dave Lombardo.
He cut a path for MANY to follow.
As a jazz fan and drummer I really appreciate Dave Lombardo, he's so musically
Dave's a thrash drummer and can only be judged by thrash standards. Oh wait. He created the thrash standard. . . .
him, and Charlie Benante
Lee raush...
They just Updated what Simon phillips and Lesbinks did .
With less swing .
Except for lee raush .
Garry Moloney of Discharge.
You are right. Dave is the best by any standards and he did as an originator in music.
he is not just a thrash metal metal drummer,watch him perfrom other solos he can do much more cool stuff
When you don't have to look at your drums to play, but keep your eyes closed and become one with music, he has attained musical bliss - so much admiration for how much this man loves music and drums, Slayer lost one of the best and I'll always consider him the Godfather of fitting music together perfectly. I salute you Dave, thank you for all the years of headbanging from your beats. You are #1.
Pootrifaction truly
Gods of the throne must be watching from hell awaiting the mass genocide
This is more like a warm up for Dave, seeing him live is where you understand his power
Dave Lombardo, Simply put, The absolute best metal drummer on the planet.... He's an all around phenomenal drummer period!
Dave is a monster hand's down.I've been listening too him since the mad '80's.He deserve's the up most respect.Thank You Dave\m/
Absolutely agree my friend..I just see how tired he is now but he owes us nothing at this point hes a fkn legend

Truth.
I'm a drummer of 35 years, and this guy is forever is my mentor of whom I've never met.
Thank you Dave Lombardo for your inspiring and incredible drumming that has captivated me as a drummer my entire life.
Thank you man
Always liked the fact he doesn’t rely on triggers for his Kick work. Great velocity in all foot notes played.
Thing is when you play fast double bass without triggers it starts to sound muddy
jonny j Thats true, I play at faster tempos so I’m just saying that double bass gets muddy from experience.
The only thing is to be strong enough to kick the Bass drum and do not need triggers
Triggers aren't what people think. U still need the speed and more so precision w/ triggers. They are certainly NOT a trick, or an easy way around double bass.

When you hear that Double Kick , you know its Dave , King of Thrash Metal Drums :)
Dave's real strength lays in his choices behind the kit in the songs. I always loved the way he tunes too. His drums always have raw sound.
Dave is such a unit. Seeing and hearing him Playing drums always makes me happy and amazed
3:58 thought he was gonna play criminally insane
Glad I'm not the only one who thought the same.
My absolute favorite Slayer song too! ❤❤
Thank you Dave, you are the dream of any bassplayer, a drummer that plays with all his heart, and enjoys every tick from the metronome, the guy always improvised in slayer, on tour, not 2 songs came back with the same guitar licks nor bass Lines, things,

Paiste has the best quality artists, and here's why. Brutal drum solo.
100% agree about the Paiste having the best quality artists......Eric Carr is a prime example of this.
Lol the cymbals arnt bad either.the rude series cymbals(used by lombardo and joey jordison and a few other big names) will blow ya ear drums out from the depth of sound they have.which is great for heavy rock or metal genre music

A brilliant sound of the Paiste's cymbals!

Andrew kroll fuk yeah! Hanneman and lombardo were slayer!
My favorite drummer by far. Inspired my drumming and fastness like no one else!
Thanks. F***ing great drum solo. One of my favorite drummers of all time. Cheers! :)
Holy, this is amazing . He is so cool and so versatile.
A great drummer in the shadow of a great band. He’s not valued at the same level as Slayer, but sometimes Dave is somehow greater then Slayer! Love this guy and his personality.
In my eyes slayer wouldnt have that iconic sound without lombardo.but honestly hes not in the shadow of that band.i like him more in suicidal tendicies
All of his playing over the years is has always been a drum solo in itself
Just (re-)watched his appearance at the 2000 MODERN DRUMMER DAYS and man, he's got even better with time!
My shins are on fire just watching that.
A true master of the craft.
Thankful for his talent.
I can't even hold a blast beat for that long, Dave you beast!
Just love it! Especially what Dave was doing on hi hat. I'm a drummer. The hi hat is my favorite
what a genius seeen him loads best drummer ever
This man was speaking musical language on those drums one of a kind
His soul speaks to me. Just such an amazing person, so gifted in ways that can't be put into words
This guy right here, you read every comment section on every video hes feature almost to a unanimous recognition and yet he does not receive all the recognition he deserves, now go watch again the video and tell me hes not right up there with the greats
I don’t think I could do that 😂😂😂👍 brilliant!!!!!
That ride cymbal sounds so good. I must buy one ☝️
If you want a heavy ride paiste rude is the way to go no doubt
no triggers...amazing the depth you can get when you rely on skill, power, feeling, and hit placement - always will be one of my biggest influences on playing
The double sounds triggered
Wait you can actually see the triggers. Whether or not he had em he still is insanely talented and still actually did all the drumming.
That was awesome; it sounded a little bit like “Criminally Insane” 🙃
Toby Johnston thats wat I thought too
Toby Johnston he came up with it so it’s fine lol
True artist and an innovator with a stunning drum sound and also just cool as fuck
He has good control, nice blend of different beats, I enjoyed seeing this performance, not easy to do.
That was poetry in motion!
This does not give justice to Dave s power; watch him play live and you will get the energy of power drumming of this beast
Dave killing it as usual ! Much love and mad respect for Dave. Still my favorite drummer for 30 plus yrs.
He is a legend.He is the drummer that exist ever
Dave Lombardo is The Beast on drums! Hell fucking yeah!
More reason to respect the pure talent in one foot then many famous drummers. Any band any type of music his signature drum styles stick out, a testament to his enormous talent.

Dave and Danny are my top two drummers for sure
I think some punk bands were faster around that time
AWESOME Dave!!!
I'm still recovering from the awesome Rush tribute you posted a couple of years ago. Good stuff!
Always knew Lombardo was a hell of a drummer, but this shows just how much of a virtuoso he is. One of the finest drum solo I've ever seen. I suggest Mario Duplantier' solos too.
Meu herói, esse cara mudou a bateria no metal. Minha profunda admiração e respeito por Lombardo.
It's crazy that in the '80s they were considered a satanic band and after all these years they are just humble guys that are just trying to make a living with all the awesome Talent they have. Whenever I come across a Dave Lombardo video I'm clicking to support him.
Phenomenal artist
We had Neal Peart from RUSH.
Then we had Dave Lombardo.
I would've given anything to see a drum solo with both of them in it.
Same time on the stage.
Talk about drum epicness!!!!
Throw danny carey in there too.
Happy Birthday, master !!!
Just like with Bonham's "Moby Dick", I can do most of that but I Can't put it together flawlessly as those two monsters did. Thank you for being an inspiration Dave. If you had a symbol on your kick drum as John did, I would respectfully tat it on my other shoulder.
amazing!
The man is a machine!
Great words Dave. You're the man.
The man!!!
Awesome!!!
Those drums sound great and the cymbals are my favorites. I prefer a natural sound like this.
Saw him play at Clash of the Titans with Slayer back in 1992? Anyway, the drumming in that show was insane.

paiste sound amazing love the rude line
Greatest thrash metal drummer.

The Art Blakey of Metal. Long live Lombardo!
nah. Dave is Way better.

Respect the pioneers because they are the originators that changed history!
omg my country love you dave!!
dave is the best
I got high by watching this :))))
Lombardo always an inspiration..
He is the standard of the genre.
Le genre de truc que j'aurais aimer voir , encore faut-il être au courant de ce genre d'événement, surtout que c'est juste à côté de chez moi
Thanks. Needed that.
Just say it critics....legend. Because Dave is a legend.
The 69 idiots who put thumbs down why ? This guy is self taught. Meaning hes a fckn genius drummer . King of the double bass.
Dave still has those chops!
one of the best drummers of all time. perhaps THE best metal drummer ever
I learned from listening to Dave 30 years ago
The best drummer to ever walk on this planet!!!
Dave Lombardo... When the sickest yummers I've ever seen. Being examined myself he just plain gets off. Gift for suicidal tendencies.
Think of it this way there was no Dave Lombardo for Dave Lombardo to be influenced by. Before him that extreme style of drumming did not exist!
what a great musician. also selftaught as dennis chambers and many more jazz musicians!!
Ladies & Gentlemen...MR DAVE LOMBARDO!!
'NUFF SAID
I like your rolling from myself your are a great drummer
Teach us thrash lord
That was the thrashiest jazz I've ever heard. So fucking sick
Dave is a legend! And like someone already said his while set up sounds great but that's the snare sound I am looking for. You guys know what snare he's using? What wood it's made from? The Tama ALP G-walnut is a nice sounding snare and in my price range too! Thanks for the video Paiste!!
Pure class act!
Super!
Drum Art! 👍
🤘👍🤘
dave is a self taught drummer..and..phewww...that blown us away..how amazing and great he is...
Dave is a master at drums
Since I'm too young to have seen Slayer with Jeff and Dave I'd love to go to a drum clinic for Dave
He fucking destroys Paul
I love his style.
Louis Bellson pioneered the art of twin bass drumming.
All you kiddies need to know this.
"No Triggers"
Chris Turner: "Hold my beer."
nice warm up for Dave

LMAOOO.....
