  • Lombardo at his best! I tried to do the best emulation I could with my twists incorporated into it. There's so many crazy fills throughout this one!

This brings great joy to my heart......the greatest metal song ever written, on the greatest metal album ever conceived.....a worthy song to cover, if you have the skill, which this guy certainly has....

      @@THEDC777 I've said it to someone else on CZcams...I think part of the reason why Dave can play things no one else would even dream of trying is because of his Cuban heritage. The complex polyrhythms of Afro Cuban ritual drum music are similar in some respects. Perhaps it is in Dave's blood, like a collective unconscious thing?
