This particular Monday falls on a certain phenomenal drummer's birthday, so I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone with this post. Today, I pay tribute to the great Dave Lombardo. He played drums for motherfucking SLAYER from Show No Mercy to Seasons In The Abyss (the glory days) and also on Christ Illusion and World Painted Blood. Lombardo has also played in Testament, Philm, Grip Inc., and Fantomas, along with other bands. He is most recognized for his work on Slayer's 1986 release, Reign In Blood. Dave has influenced a large number of extreme metal drummers including Richard Christy (Death), Paul Mazurkiewicz (Cannibal Corpse), Adrian Erlandsson (Cradle of Filth), Joey Jordison (Slipknot), and Igor Cavalera (Sepultura). He's fast, loud, and aggressive; the perfect combination for a Slayer drummer. Happy birthday Dave, now rejoin Slayer. Below is an epic video of one of Lombardo's drum solos.
