We both agreed that Seasons is our favorite Slayer album, but his work on South of Heaven is fucking insane. Silent Scream alone is probably the most brutal drumming I have ever heard. Anyway, much respect for this man. Truly one of the greats.

    I got to clean his drum set in the late 80s while on tour with Motorhead / Overkill. I was working security, checking out his kit when a roadie walked up with rags to clean it. I asked if I could clean it and he said NO problem and handed me the rags lmao. It was an absolute honor. I briefly talked to him back stage. He was the most mellow dude ever, super nice guy just hanging out with his girl. The way Slayer did him rubs me wrong to this day.

      PrimitiveAK Fantômas, one of Mike Patton’s 8 million side projects. I went to one of those shows and some drugged up freak in the front row kept yelling out “This is the new jazz, maaaannn!” after every piece. Considering that every tune was only about thirty seconds long, I unfortunately left with that mantra etched in my brain for life. 😭. To be fair, the entire free jazz genre sounds just like that, so, I guess he wasn’t off base with his ball tripping proclamation.

    I remember the first time I heard this dude. I was like, "There's no friggen way". I was thinking that they slowed the tape down while he recorded and then played it back at normal speed while they mixed it down. Because there is no way a person can play that fast and that explosive for that length of time.
    Then I went to my first Slayer show in a little bar or something down in Houston. And I realized just how friggen wrong I was. Even today he's fast as hell. I'd be willing to bet that if he air drummed without a kit in front of him, you could probably hear his arms buzz. Like some huge fly buzzing around. But nope. It's Dave. Playing air drums. Buzzing like a herd of houseflies.

    I met Dave once back in '04 after a Fantomas gig. At the time? I'm 6'0 tall, I was, oh, 160 lbs. We have a similar build. I'm a long time drummer myself, the hard drumming included. But, I'll tell anyone; when he shook my hand? If he had squeezed just a notch tighter? He could've broke my hand! That's the kind of strength one gets as a touring thrash/ death metal drummer. I mean, there's just no mercy. May not be 'Top 5'? But it's definitely in the Top 10 hardest working jobs in the world.It requires soo much energy, mental, and physical prowess!

I won front by phone call answering a question in a public payphone late 1980`s! LOL Won front row tickets to a show many bands paid called the Corona beer gardens! This is the first original drummer of Black Sabbath know this person? Carmen A? He played with a band named Top Hat! i knew the lead guitarist as they should have been huge rock stars! Left-handed guitarist and right hand that band shred Carmen was the drummer! That band was badass! He threw a drum stick into the crowd a full-on mosh pit! Caught this and used the drum stick jabbing people to get out as was crazy and hundreds of people! My cousin and I finally got out and meet the DJ`s any way she was Hot! I had that stick in my garage studio for years one day my then-new drummer used it could have rung his neck! So this was 20 years later! My neighbors were friends with Carmen for their whole life! The neighbor told me he was coming to visit them have dinner! One day he's getting out of a car and I said hey Carmen! Told him the story he remembered the show as well gave me new sticks then out his bag I still have them today a cool dude! There's my star-struck novel, as well his grip was hardcore!
