Super stocked that you review this video. Dave is an awesome drummer that probably influenced all of us.
@@apexbam3912 true...this time I even included one of the pics that was taken at the brutal assault festival in 2013- when I got the chance to meet him the first time
com e on
How about Elliot Hoffman, the madman behind the kit of Carbomb? :)

Lombardo is a beast. Definitely among the greatest drummers.
Ok, but the original drummer on this song is paul bostaph, so...
AMEN I WAS A DAVE fan when this guy was listen to lawerence welk breaking heads ha
And Dave is a humble guy which makes him even great!
Yes for sure’
Hes definitely good, in his own way. There better drummers tho. Dave is damn near the best for thrash tho.
I saw SLAYER in '91, & it was the best concert I've seen!!!! Dave's the main reason I started listening to SLAYER. His sound and technique is simply thunderous and amazing!!!!!!
Worse mistake Slayer ever made ripping off Dave he made Slayer MORE intense
They were stealing his money ... He never got paid what he supposed to
YUP!
He totally made them. In the 80's and 90's, the first thing said when you talked about Slayer was "oh yeah their drummer is a beast!". Slayer is almost a "drum band" to me, you really could feel it after his departure.
He’s the one who caught my attention & once he left I left
Dave Lombardo is one of the reasons I started drumming.
Lombardo is a beast! Blows me away every time!
Love your attitude when doing these videos, you're really enthusiastic.
thank you!
I think Lombardo doesn't really care about drum heads breaking, he is having fun, as far as I can tell. Plus - c'mon, it's freaking SLAYER! :)
Dave doesn't care about this shit song anyway. Analyze War Ensemble or Angel of Death...
Yep, right down the throat. But he shoved it in your ear First.
And still made you gag.
Then want more.
Just stumbled into this channel. Great video man! To me, Dave Lombardo is the quintessential Heavy Metal drummer. I can't even imagine what those classic Slayer albums would have sounded like without him.
Charlie Benante- most underrated drummer in metal- he's been killing it for nearly 40 years in Anthrax.
He's great!
Dam straight,he's my other fav thrash drummer next to dave lombardo
Legend for sure🤘🏻
Lombardo brought the groove to slayer! Can´t be replaced!
@@hyperboreandesolation True..To me Lombardos drumming has better flow and groove. Pauls drumming feels flat and less dynamic to me.
@@hyperboreandesolation Yes, but I have seen both Dave and Paul play this song live and I could say that Dave plays it better than Paul. He adds new fills to the song instead of playing what he HAS to, I absolutely love that.
Ich habe Slayer mit Dave und auch mit Paul gesehen. Ich muss sagen, Daves drumming war abwechslungsreicher und das Beckenspiel melodischer, für mich ein Markenzeichen der "alten" Slayer. Marthyn, vielen Dank für deine Videos, die ich sehr schätze.
Lombardo is a fucking beast🤘
Pete sandoval next please
Easily the best drum related CZcams channel! How do you not have more subscribers??
Also love that you are always smiling no matter what you're talking about! Keep it up!
thank you!
It is awesome how you talk about the muscles he uses and how and when he uses them when he plays. I am sure that is very helpful to younger players and/or beginners. 😊👍🏻
0:50 hold on one second guys let me shatter your hopes and dreams real quick. hahaha!
Dave is a pefect blend of solid technique & chops and ferocius attitude. Speedwise there are of course faster drummers, but attitude-wise few, if any, can match him. I haven’t seen anybody play Slayer songs better than him.
Even though I enjoy drum videos & comments on youtube, very often they ignore this musical part of extreme playing and concentrate too much on speed and technique.
I have a bias toward his power style, also because as a drummer, the quality and sound of beat is key to metal bands' very sound and feel. No discredit to Bostaph, but Slayer is not nor will ever be a finessed or nuanced band so his contribution sounds very mismatched in the context of Slayer, to my ears. I think he has better hands than Lombardo, but without Lombardo, to me, they sound like they are missing the full lower end of their earlier sound spectrum. He was key to what I loved about their bottom-heavy dominant, churning sound. But that is but one opinion of a humble fan and musician.
Dave is one of a kind. He's got groove, he's got speed and he's got technique. My favorite drummer by far.
You haven’t seen anyone play Slayer song better than Dave Lombardo? Well no shit.
His Cuban background had a big influence on his playing. Whether you like Cuban music or not, they have a monster sense of rhythm and groove, and that's why his playing is so fluid and musical.
Dave does not use cheat peddles or any certain special type of head. Drummer's have to use certain type of heads for extreme drumming. Dave does not. Most drummer's today have to cheat to be as last as Dave. LoL
I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to polish and prep Dave's cymbals and set at the Clash of the Titans tour, my friend won the contest for Roadie for a day, and I was blessed to be his guest.
Never been so overwhelmed with glee. To be in the masters presence of his drum set. So many great memories of that day.
Also got to meet Jeff and Tom, Forever Slayer
There may be many who can play faster nowadays, but there’s just such an energy to his playing that just seems more exciting than many other drummers. He altered the face of metal drumming
His groove is rock solid too, and he can play it all without Pro Tools. Very, very few of the modern faster guys can match him for both of those things.
He plays with a lot of swing like traditional drummers as opposed to sounding mechanical....
I really love this series of reaction videos you're doing, Marthyn! My 1,5 year old son always throws away whatever he's holding in his hands and stares at the TV in admiration when I put on a video of yours, regardless of how long the video is 😁 Keep up the awesome work. Cheers from Sweden.

@@drumtechniqueacademy Why not use more than one video to analyse the style and technique of a drummer?
Dave is a pure diamond. I miss Grip Inc. so bad and Slayer will be missed forever.
Notice that drums part of this song was originaly created by Bostaph and Dave plays it a very different way.
I know...
my last name is Lombardo, so everyone saying that Lombardo is amazing makes me happy :)
Marthyn, you rule! Love your videos and your amazing drum skills!
thank you very much!
Curious to see an analysis of Mario Duplantier's playing style. Thanks.
Great video Marthyn. I watched one of your drum videos with your dreads you are incredible. And I love the analysis in your clips
Love your analysis of drum techniques. 🤘Great job man
I dont even play drumms (im a guitarist) but these are really entertaining
thank you!

I don't play drums at all, but this was a great video. A lot of interesting information, awesome breakdown.
Thx alot!
I'm an air drummer, does that count for something. :) I still like looking at these types of videos (bass guitar as well) as I like to see them perform in relative isolation to the rest of the music.
Krysdavar me either, and I agree 100%
hi Marthyn, first of all I wanted to say I really, really like your 'drumteacher reacts' videos. They're top notch. Secondly : Dave rules. And third, and you didn't mention this in the video (maybe you didn't know): Dave is left handed. That's also the reason why his tomrolls sound so.... so.... well, so DAVE LOMBARDO ! It might sound stupid, but I asked him during a drumclinic why his rolls sound this way. He replied he didn't know why, or actually didn't understand that I find his drumrolls so fascinating. But a few minutes later he played some stuff, and suddenly he stopped, and told me (and the rest of the audience) he suddenly knew what the reason is: he's actually left handed, and he starts his tomrolls with his lefthand.... If you think about a normal tomroll from tom1 to tom 4 , you'll get Rlrl-Rlrl-Rlrl-RlRl. In his case it could be like this : LrlrL-rLrL-rlrL-rlr. (I think he'll leave out the last note and end with rL on the last tom.) And then think about what happens when he puts some snare hits in between. This explains a lot about his style of drumfills. And I find this fascinating. But aside his drumrolls, this man knows how to add swing and groove to the music like no other. Anyway, I'm looking forward to more of your videos ! Greetings, Paul.
You make really interesting videos, Marthyn. I never thought the bio mechanics would play such a great role in drumming. It's a really interesting aspect.
Great analysis Marthyn. Keep it up!
Thank you- will do!
Dave is the og of the extreme drummers back in the day and he still goes hard \m/
couldn't agree more
czcams.com/video/F3CJxDpWZfk/video.html
Dave's drumming is precise and clean... Tight sounding actually. And I noticed on the album version of the slayer songs, his drumming sounds dry and crisp like there's no reverb on the mix. But that actually helps in a well defined hitting. Even though he's drumming so fast, I can hear every hit that he's doing. I'm very impressed actually.
Very nice analysis, I enjoyed watching this video. Not the biggest fan of Slayer, but you break down the music in a way I can understand and appreciate the talent behind it. Thanks and much love!
So good to watch. Such a great style, so fluid. Insane
Finally the one and only! Can't wait :D
Nice work, Dave is the champ... In so many ways not limited to drumming, what my life would be sans HA thru Seasons, I can't even imagine... total and utter depression? Hah. Everything about his playing, especially through those albums (formative years) the drum fill's, to the beats, to the cymbal hits and grabs... All of it! I have a few friends who can imitate it all perfectly air drumming, and none of them are drummers. That says a lot about how powerful, original, vocal, and moving his style is, was, and always will be.
Thanks again!
Love all your content, good work and keep them coming 😁
thank you
Towards the end, you can see his drum tech, Norm. He's a great friend of mine and shared many awesome stories of hanging out with the band with me. Awesome guy and spoke very highly of them all, especially Dave. Great video, thank you for analysing and sharing you professional views
Check war ensamble from the same gig. He have such a sick fills there. Always blows my mind while im trying to cover it
one video per show/drummer is enough ;-)
@@drumtechniqueacademy ok, but check it, maybe u will change your mind :)
@@drumtechniqueacademy Yeah but at least war is a Dave original song. This song was made and recorded by Paul Bostaph.
@@puertoricodrum we all know that 😁

Dave is a GOD
You deserve way more views my dude ! Great video.
This videos are so fun to watch...
AND informative.
The best drummer of heavy metal. Lombardo
Trash metal!!!
Maybe Thrash. There are the drummers who played for the band Death
Absolutely the best in all metal.
@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119 especially for Human and The Sound of Perseverance
Dave Lombardo was the attraction I had for S-lay'er.
His playing really inspired me as a guitarist, as well as Jeff H.
Would like to see you review him playing Angel of death, Reign in blood, etc...cause this was great.
I wish there were a drum cam for Andrew Sturmer back when he was in Jellyfish.
Kerry is a douch as a person as is Tom sadly, as proven by their treatment of the best rock drummer bar John Bonham and we all know that. Nevertheless you are right to point to the Guitar Riff and Drum riff combo as the secret to Slayers great strengths. Lets face it though the guitar riff attack is both Kerry and Jeff's deadly double attack. Give the devil his due. Some bands have twin solos; ie Thin Lizzy, Eagles and Iron Maiden; Slayer has twin riffage with the odd freak out solo thrown in to freak out too! As you say, that's why I love them too. Killer riffage and some great tunes! Best band since Zeppelin, the Doors and early Sabbath. LP's III thru V are Zeppelin good, no filler! Also love KYUSS!
I really like how you explain each aspect.
Awesome display of a very powerful drummer. Total respect ! Well done on the review too. Never really paid much attention to how high or low a drummer sits. I certainly couldn't handle being that low. One song would wear me out!!
Lombardo is one of my favs. My favorite is his drumming on the song "South of Heaven". But hey, what about Mick "The Human Tornado" Harris, the original drummer of Napalm Death, and mastermind behind the crazy beats of Scorn? His sound was SO HEAVY on Napalm Deaths last couple albums with him. Like Lombardo, he is another true standout drummer. Igor Cavalera?
Igor top shout,saw him at Donington 94 his power & double bass work was outstanding
Dave Lombardo is a legend , good video informative and that's coming from a guitarist .
Thank you
Amazing man, very helpful! Cheers from Brazil....
Lombardo is the Godfather of speed metal drumming. He's an animal.
As usual thanks for your videos! I'd really like to see an analysis about Trym form EmpEroR... maybe the rehearsal of Ye Entrancemperium.... It would be great!!!! Or something from Jamie St. Meurat from Ulcerate.... I hope! Thanks Marthyn!!!
Wasn´t there a Gojira/Mario Duplantier video? Is it gone? I wanted to watch it again. Besides, thank you for these videos. I´m not a drummer but a guitar player but I like to learn new/more stuff about drumming with these videos. Thank you.
I'm a guitar player and I really enjoyed listening to you speak. Cheers from USA
Great practical breakdown. Thank you.
You've been getting swole, Arnold 💪💪

Marthyn, it'd be a great idea to analyse Nick Pierce, drummer of Unearth. Using traditional grip for metal music, that's rad.

i play guitar but it's always good to see a compatriot like dave , my friend met him in havana when suicidal tendencies went to cuba for a concert on the island . he's a good guy and a very talented drummer
Highly insightful. Thanks!!
React to Tom Hunting of Exodus He is the most Badass and most underrated Drummer in the game
No joke!!
Finally someone agrees with me
Totally. And still!!
*'Let's talk about his TOM set up'*- Do you mean how Tom and Kerry set up Dave Lombardo the best rock drummer since John Bonham by only paying him a lousy $ 60 K while they were earning 3-4 times that. So much for 'brother in arms'.Truly sad and disgraceful. Dave was the Bonham of Slayer and like John was irreplaceable as was Jeff!
Never a truer word spoken.
They must be so stupid to think all a drummer does is keep time, tut
@@gary1chester What most don't get when they show me other metal drummers or jazz rock (Ginger!) is what others don't get about Bonham. They were pioneers in power and speed but it was their FEEL that made them the great drummers they were. You hear its them and FEEL it. I know who would want to play with. The precision of machines PLAYED with Intensity and control and timing. It's like Hendrix at his best that SOUND and full feel. No flouncing around yet full and alive. Everyone else sounds better when they play the drums and that is the secret like Ringo.
I had known idea they did that...I will never look at them the same. What is Slayer without Dave.. boring
@@nixpix44 Yup. While they still managed the odd good SONG they never produced perfect Metal LP's like their first five. They broke Dave's heart and thus the unity in the band. You can't replace John Bonham in Zeppelin or equally Dave in Slayer and you can't replace Jeff either. Both Tom and Kerry while important to Slayer were the two clowns in the bunch. Dave and Jeff were the HEART and SOUL of Slayer. Tom the Voice and Kerry the blind ambition tool. Notice his PLASTIC chains. Kerry is the George Harrison of Slayer or like Bob Weir in the Dead. A good rhythm guitar player but an average songwriter and the bore in the band.
Very interesting I loved the breakdown of his play style
aweshome dave Lombardo is amazing player sounds supercredible
Id like to see a video on David Grey- Ackercocke & Voices
And the one and only Nick Barker

lombardo is a beast
That concert was the Big 4 show with Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax at Yankee's Stadium in the Bronx, NY. I was at that show and fortunate to watch Slayer with Dave Lombardo playing with them before he officially left. Such a great show!
as usual- awesome Video. cheers.
Gojira's Mario Duplantier ? Would be amazing
Please analyze Danny Carey from TOOL !
New subscriber here, I really enjoy your analysis and breakdown of these drummers techniques. I got wrapped up in drumming in HS and always admired the guys who could play such technical metal. The one that turned me toward the heavier drumming was Jason Bittner from Shadows Fall. His drumming on The Light That Blinds blew me away and made me want to learn more. Keep up the vids man!
Thank you...will do...
I'm not even a drummer and really enjoyed this video! Very interesting analysis!
thx alot
Danny Herrera from Napalm Death, the godfather of extreme metal drumming
@Luke Smith mick harris wasnt comparable, danny herrera is far superior
I like Mick Harris but different types of drummers
As always a pleasure to see your analysis - but are you sure about his spring tension? There is a video here on CZcams called "Dave Lombardo Explains His Double-Bass Technique" where he explains most of his pedal and at around minute 3.00 he talks about his high spring tension with even special "high tension springs" (not the black TAMA standard-springs) whereas you talk about a low to medium tension in your video.
yes I'm sure...
I needed this
Thank You 4 this vid My Friend!
I love how Dave plays Paul’s drum parts better than Paul does
I saw Motorhead with Megadeth, and I was impressed with Motorheads drummer! Hard hitting like a machine.
Well he was formerly playing in King Diamond, dude is a beast of a drummer
@@frmadeira that makes sense, because King Diamond is one of my favorites!!!
Lemmy called Mikkey Dee "best drummer in the world" for a reason. Though I prefer Philthy Animal.
@@CryingZombie666 Phil is the best drummer he kicks ass R.i.p motörhead
Seth Black Mickey Dee was one of my favorites in the 80’s as the intricate technically extensive Drummer for King Diamond, The writer of one of the most famous intros, check out the first track “Welcome Home” after the theatrical phrase “King stop playing that thing, will you answer the door!” Sold! \m/ (-_-) \m/

Dave has such effortless groove,speed,power and originality in his drumming it easily stands out no matter what style he plays or which band he's in. My 2 favorite drummers are him and Danny Carey.

czcams.com/video/Jz5dk7z326Y/video.html
Interesting video! I remember when the first Slayer record was released. At that time I never would have expected Dave Lombardo would eventually become an iconic drumming superstar. I also would never have imagined Slayer would ever be playing stadiums in front of such large crowds. The world has changed a lot since then I guess.
One thing in the video I noticed towards the end when there was mention of the grip style in conjunction with the height of the snare drum; what also helped Dave in that instance was the height of the drum throne, which was, as mentioned earlier in the video, is on the low side. I also remember reading an interview with Dave Lombardo back in the 90’s in which he mentioned being told to raise his drum throne so the audience could see him better, which led to him developing problems with his back.
You should react to Vinnie Paul playing Becoming by Pantera.
Or Primal concrete sledge by Pantera
Great video and I love your reaction channel. Shame the video was of a song Paul Bostaph originally recorded
thank you!
And Dave leaves that joker in the dust--Bostaph CANNOT play double kick! He's too sloppy and his feet are totally out of sync with each other. I fail to see why people think he's so good, here.
@@MaskedRiderChris all opinion but Bostaph is one of my favourite drummers second to Dave McClain
@@MaskedRiderChris his sloppiness came with age. In the 90s he was really at the same level of Lombardo. But then he got worse, while Lombardo just got better.
I'm guessing you mean "low to mid spring tension" compared to direct drive pedals and such, am I right? He always says he uses high spring tension. Anyway, GREAT video. I love Dave's drum-playing, I've watched his videos lots of times and you did an extremely good work explaining his techniques! Thanks.
I've never clicked on a link so fast haha. His kit is crazy. 24" kicks wide enough to get those massive toms to drop down between them. Hats super low, but still has snare clearance for power because he pretty much sits his snare drum on the floor. Insane.
true that!
How about some Vinny Paul..
@z k What!?
Vinnie paul was just a good metal drummer. Not that great!
Fuster Cluck i think he was good but not on top. I saw pantera and sepultura back in the early 90’s. I think igor cavalera was a little better live.
