  • Dave Lombardo is one of a kind! This took about 2 hours of practice and a gallon of sweat. There were a few mistakes that stuck out to me, but here you go regardless. Enjoy!
    There was a screen glitch around 3:45 during Live Undead.

    @jamesruzzo5852 Před 8 lety +1

    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.

    • @joshsteffen
