Charlie wasn't staring him down and this was a more respectful battle of fun than anything else. Charlie is a respectful host but Dave, also respectful, decided to just follow Benante's lead. These are the best kind of drum-duets because it's not about out-doing the other drummer. It's about seeing if you can quickly build up something truly incredible with genuine chemistry. My 2 cents on this anyway.
I don't know really yes charlie wins on the reference from the recording but i do think Dave could give it a nice version if he ever played that live with cannibal corpse
when he starts "Criminally Insane," it's such a teachable moment because you really get to experience how less can be more and how the impact of a simple pattern can have such a profound and lasting effect. Two masters for sure.
Wow... at 4:06 Mr. Charlie Benante playing Sepultura - Breed Apart, at 4:20 Mr. Dave Lombardo played Judas Priest - Painkiller (with improvision perhaps) & then at 4:38 Mr. Charlie played Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smash Face. Amazing! 🤘
@@luisemilianogonzalezvinces3400 thats crazy to think. Dave gets Slayer and Testament. Charlie gets Anthrax and Pantera. Could these guys get anymore legendary?
Charlie is awesome. He writes most of Anthrax music and is a great guitar player as well as being an amazing drummer. Love that he plays some Hammer Smashed Face.
Dave will always be regarded as the most iconic '80's thrash drummer, and deservedly so. But I think Charlie might be my personal favorite. He's just fantastic.
He is amazing, nothing but skill... But Lombardo can't be beaten by any other thrash drummers... If you wanna see something truly amazing look up george kollias or Derek roddy... They dont really play thrash but instead more death metal but still they're skills in terms of technically and speed is incomparable....
Love Dave, but Eric Moore was way better. Its an insult to his talent and to that of some other drummers to say lombardo's the best. Everyone who knows his drumming can clearly see this. Also check Ron Bruner vids with ST; also a lot better than Dave.
Hey, a whole week and we have our first "Lars makes a lot of money lol" comment. Longer than I thought. I love Lars, he's a smart guy. If you can put very little effort into your craft, and still have a couple million Nikolai Padillas spend their money on it…. why not? As a musician I appreciate the craft, Lars bank account is not how I measure his drumming abilities.
Gene Hoglan... nuff said But Who cares? They are all amazing... portnoy dee dupantier reinert all drummers in death cynic megadeth... Thanx for the music
Man, two incredible drummers of the old metal genre working it out. Their names are severly underrated. Killers drummers overall in their own unique ways.
Back when they were both young and physically in top peak drumming form, back in the 80s' .... I clearly believe that Charlie's double bass was the quickest out there. 🌪️
That was cool! But with Dave playing the clear acrylic drums you can see more of his moves...that is extra cool! Both guys are different but equally awesome!
I mean Benante pioneered Blast beats in Thrash Metal and Dave is responsible for his trade mark ultra fast double bass. Both are great drummers in the Thrash metal scene
@@rockeruss555 Fast as fuck drum beat using ultrafast snare hits. Think like the insanely fast Death Metal and Grindcore bands. Charlie didn't pioneer them. He was a couple years too late, but he loves to say he's the first to use them in the S.O.D song "Milk". But he was two years too late.
I feel Dave has the edge with his hands, and Charlie with his feet. But again, someone else could say the exact opposite and I would be unable to argue with them. Both amazing drummers and those of us who grew up with them know how lucky we are
@@BFNope honestly they're pretty equal in hands. Compare the opening to Criminally Insane to Monster at the End from Anthrax's 2016 album. They're very similar
Charlie is Fast and Precise, But Dave is so Fluid! Both are killer. I give the edge to Dave! Awesome performance from the " Two Best" drummers of the Big 4.
You are forgetting the great Nick Menza from the best period of Megadeth! All three of them are brilliant drummers. In my opinion it's: 1. Lombardo 2. Menza 3. Benante But they are all so good that it's really up to personal preference I think!
@@akidk1499 Gar was for a shorter period of time so we only have 2 albums as samples! Vinnie was just a session drummer for "The system has failed" and I don't think he actually joined the band! Behler was ok but I don't think he can compare with Menza, Samuelson or DeGrasso...
Well the audience sure won that day!.......What a treat to see and hear these 2 veteran metal drummers.....friends who elevated the craft of modern drumming to the highest standards. They are both on Fire!
Nothing really challening here, although the precision of Benante's footwork is remarkable and still developping...BUT of course both have a place in my heart and growing up with their music was more than fun!!!! Love 'em! Pioneers and Heroes!
These guys were CLEARLY having a blast!!!Fantastic!!! Thanks For Sharing this video :) Mr. Benante and Mr. Lombardo, utmost respect and utmost gratitude for being two of my drumming heroes throughout my years of playing drums. Absolutely phenomenal!!! Thank You Very Much For The Tunes and Inspiration to strive harder as a musician.
Both outstanding drummers, never got to see Slayer but Dave is unbelievable, have seen Anthrax live and Charlie is the best I have ever seen personally. Love Keith Moon, Neil Peart and Bill Ward and these two are right up there.
@@kiekko673 they started they were popular in the early 80s they started out playing when they were like 5 years old probably in the early seventies I'm sorry if I wasn't clear about it but I've been to the shows I'm almost 50 years old
Pure brilliance each one leads the other in to the rhythm they want them to play so they can add to it what their not fast enough to play by theirselves. Great proformance
The whole reason blast beats exist in metal is totally down to one of the guys on stage, and the reason we have mega fast double bass drumming is because of the other, these are truly the most pivotal players in the development of extreme metal, and some younger drummers out there don't have any idea of it.
Dude, Charlie used a Blast Beat in "Milk" by S.O.D in 1985... Eric Brecht used one in 1983 on D.R.I's "No Sense". Tell us again how Charlie caused them to exist in Metal...?
@@DAVEDEATH1000 Charlie innovated the "Skank Hammer Blast", whereas that other dude had an inconsistent basic blast. Punk bands weren't having technical drummers. Also Benante made that part of his actual style, not some random shit in a song.
@@murk4552 "Skank Hammer Blast"? I've listened to Metal since the '80's and never heard of that... Also, it's hardly part of his style- it's not as if he uses it all the time. I'm merely saying that I seen an interview where he actually said he was the first to use a "Blast Beat". Which of course, he simply isn't. No idea why you're mentioning Punk bands though... Regardless, Charlie's still one of my favourite drummers and one of the best in Metal.
That was fun. Two of the best drummers I've ever heard. I honestly can't think of anyone close to those two except maybe Gene Hoglan and Neil Peart. CB is a decent songwriter and guitarist too. I Love that guy.
Is that a joke? He cant compare to these legends... And YEAH ive seem him play, including his "battle" against Chad Smith. As a drummer from the age of 11 i can tell you Will Ferrell is good but nowhere NEAR these metal gods LOL!!!
Emojis were created so you could show your emotion or sarcasm and keep the know it all keyboard commandos at bay. There is always some dipshit out there, "Surely you can't be serious?" Well no, dumbass, he was joking. 👉🖕👈
Imagine both of them playing together 1 song of Slayer, Anthrax and S.O.D. I magine them playing together "Raining Blood", "Gung Ho" and "Charlie Don't Cheat".
After Dom Famularo, these are the two founders of the very fast double bass drum technique. Dom taught them both and can still go faster, but these two invented thrash drumming. The guy from Kreator might be another.
Of the Big 4 drummers... Charlie and Gar always had the most chops and were always smoother. Gar being Gar Samuelson from Megadeth. King of Thrash Metal Swing
Gar was a "Praying Mantis" behind the drums. Dude had such a swagger to his playing. It looked as if he was hardly moving when they played live. He played some of the fastest jazz/metal beats ever laid to vinyl!!! Any one that questions that, should have a listen to Killing is my Business, or Peace Sells. Gar had such a finesse and blended his playing in so well, sometimes you would lose him in the surrounding rhythms. His timing with the other instruments was that good. That's a jazz drummer for ya though! LoL R.I.P. Gar.
@@richardcurtis1912 you would really appreciate him doing a clinic or something like this. If Charlie is better now than he was back then-and he was killer back then-imagine a clean and sober Gar now. He'd be incredible!
@@KickflipGnasty total beast. I'm into that Friedman/Menza lineup even if Extinction and Youthanasia aren't very good imo. But he was a born metal drummer. Gar wasn't. By accident and/or by design Gar was an innovator. There weren't many jazz drummers doing metal when Megadeth got going.
@@KickflipGnasty Youthanasia was the first Megadeth album I purchased and even though the drumming isn't fast, technical or complex, it was perfect for that album and Nick had that nac for creating the perfect drum parts for the songs he was playing on. I was a fan straight away.
Charlie is the most criminally underrated drummer out there. He's been KILLING IT for decades and hardly gets mentioned.
Ikr? If I had my pick of drummers to record with, he'd be my first choice.
Amen brother! A-fucking-men!
Being a drummer I have no problem saying Charlie Benante is the best Heavy Metal drummer ever!!!
I loved the cannibal reference he did
He pioneered Blast beats!!! That's something
He's been blowing minds since 1984. Everyone knows how good he is.
Charlie wasn't staring him down and this was a more respectful battle of fun than anything else. Charlie is a respectful host but Dave, also respectful, decided to just follow Benante's lead.

Not really. It’s because he’s playing an iconic intro. If they played Painkiller it would’ve had the same reaction

You only have to listen to Anthrax's first album to know Charlie was already streets ahead in technique and innovation
2 of my all time favorite drummers!!🥁
Two legends having fun. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
