can you explain the jazz stuff?@@TPI-du9mn

I totally agree! I made a post on r/drums a little bit ago about it. Most of the newer drummers (I say this as a 26 yo lol) if you put them on an entirely acoustic kit even with the ideal sticks/heads/beaters would struggle to have hits this articulate and booming! Not to mention his age, trying to play drums for a living fucked my back up at 22. And I was only playing this kind of music in my free time, he truly is a God

@@TheChicagoJunkie Agree. He will stretch out before performing to limber up. He probably burns 8000 calories every show. Always drenched in sweat and chugging water. I know a few non-metal drummers who have nothing but the utmost respect for Dave.

​@@TheChicagoJunkieDrummer here, too. It's better for all your limbs to play fairly straight up, learn to activatr your side-ass muscles for doublebass. Trust me! \m/

wht did you mention the triggers?

Yeah its like a real mystical calling ..........They could not have got it better and Slayer is dark enuff to change the hemisphere apparently .

It is the lighting vs. the camera thing

That's because Dave summons hell when he plays the drums.

damn, totally did not notice that until your comment!

I was there and the Clouds "Rolled in" right at this time... It was a HOT Summer Night in the Bronx! Sundown made it great! ❤

Jeff was his only friend in the band

Arvind Shastri It doesn’t show. Jeff is dead.

Tom is worth 10 million more than Lombardo, and no offense to Tom, but Lombardo is just so much more talented

Same thing happened to the drummer in Overkill. They aren't as popular as Slayer, but...without the right drummer, these bands would be garbage.

@@teeoh9192 So throw mr drummer, CLEANLY under the bus….I want to understand how this works. Because I’m a drummer. The only drummers who are tossed under there.

And they both got fucked by they're own bands.

Also, like Newstead, totally underappreciated by the band he was in despite being by far the biggest badass in the band...

​@@schnozz87 No offense to Newstead but James was always the primary carrier of metallica

@@nishanth6403 Facts...and he still is.

Good comparison

Gar Samuelson too

very well said

@@frasersimpson442 +1

Absolutely, after his playing i dont want to hear Pauls versions, because it not sounding good ,it like sloppy guy, sorry for my opinion,but this is real shit

@@clubhouseme Bill Ward has never played a thrash beat from what I know

You said it.

Treated by the band… who exactly is "the band"? Araya, King and Hanneman? I thought Hanneman and Lombardo were friends? Or does some company own the Slayer brand and they are all only employed hired guns in their own band? American copyright and music business is weird.

@@pfzt When I say band who do you think I’m referring to? You just mentioned the other members. You answered your own question. Friendship doesn’t matter in that business when it comes to the almighty dollar. Dave has said this publicly.

Twice

TBH, I can't say I've run into too many(if any at all) people that try to claim that Lars had any kind of notable technical prowess. At least not out of musicians in the fanbase. In all honesty, most of the fans within the "Big 4's" fanbases are pretty well-grounded. Usually, most of the fanboy whining involves the ones who beat the dead horse known as any discussion involving Hetfield, Mustaine, and Ulrich and act like their opinions hadn't already been running on fumes since before the internet was really a thing. The subjects of the argument are millionaires who have accomplished much in their lives. While all these countless screechers do is yell random crap that will be lost in the void and accomplish nothing like those that came before them. EDIT: I'm pretty sure that, whatever comment I was replying to here, is gone. Probably deleted.

I understand why Slayer let him but I also feel it was a mistake.

He had no choice .. would you stay in a band that steal your money ??

panzer waffen Time has proved that he was better off without them. He seems happy now.

i know that feel bro

look he was so gentle xDD

My favorite part

Oscar pAisTe flanger bell. also played by the joey in koRn & SlipKnot.

It's called, " I respect what I do".

It's not music though 😝

@@vladavasiljev your opinion no longer matters to any of us 🤘😃

+keefriff99 ....and for me exactly what you mention makes the difference. You`ll easily find tons of drummers able to play those songs. And Paul is one of those. . and yeah the "ding" and those super fast one handed rolls. But we also must accept, that the metal circus simply goes via $$$-wood and ppl like Lombardo not fitting anymore. Bands 2day prefer stresslessness and arselicking over musical madness. So will not attend things like "BIG4" or "Metal Cruise"....and not buying the "latest" Slayer album as long as they simply put out some clones...since the 90`s . what comes next? Armani exclusive audience outfits, no outfit no Ticket? LÖL you think or know if DL has Gene Krupa as inspiration?

Paul? No DAVE!!!!

His drum writing is incredible. So many parts, so many tempo shifts. The way he builds one part into another. I also like the humour in the bell ding too!

You are RIGHT

@@Churro_Flaminguez he's actually BETTER in these 2011 videos that he ever was. More grooves, more variety in the fills & "punches", crazy how awesome he had gotten. I like how musical he makes his parts, even more so than the original or how he played them before. You can "sing" his drumming. This last fallout with the band really sucked.

True!

Imagine, he's with Testament now. That's fucking insane.

@@Lapcenoks Interesting, didn't know that.

Totally agree

who's wayne gretzky ?

$800?! That's a goddamn INSULT!!

This is a fact!

The cowbell hit alone was worth $800

It's true and disgusting... the tour manager earned more.. the drum roadie earned more...

WTF is this real????? F U C K!!!

Lmao Lars ulrich is shit

It's called practice

that makes me nervous, GET TO THE FUCKING DRUMS AND BE READY, but he's a professional

Dude this coment is gold😂

@@tejedaAlex nah hes good hes the one starting the song

Yeah he had me worried for a minute did nobody tell Dave he was actually doing shows with them again? 🤘🏻

@Michele 😂 you mean ride cymbal.

@@yeetfeet1878 yes ... but I'm pretty sure it's a cowbell in the studio version ... but I love that DING

@Michele actually in the studio version he doesn’t even use it. But war ensemble will always be my favorite slayer song. It will definitely be the first song I learn when I get my double kick pedal!

@@yeetfeet1878 i think its a bell like just a bell😂

@@babya847 😂 nope it’s called a ride cymbal.

Played this for many a non-Slayer fan. No bad reviews so far.

You are one of, if not the best drummer on KZfaq. I love your style and how you make it look easy! You're the Dave Lombardo of this generation

SlaytanicTallicaFan999 much appreciated. ;)

Yeah, I always fuck up massively while playing alone, but a big crowd sort of forces me into an "oh shit I have to play perfect or else they're gonna kill me" mode.

KZfaq Josh! You are the Dave Lombardo of KZfaq thrash drumming. Your videos are great for figuring out drum parts, great stuff. Thanks.

ATM Rise Thanks, glad to hear.

@@mavericknonconformist69721 think you've clearly misunderstood the guys post. Learn to read.

@@lajames1988 I'm sorry I misunderstood sue me.

@@mavericknonconformist69721 no need. Its quite beneficial to learn how to read so that you are not misinformed or spreading it yourself. Good luck with your reading endeavours.

@@lajames1988 Thank you for your snarky reply. You could have explained my error and been more friendly. But you choose to look down on people for their shortcomings.

I misunderstood your post I am sorry!

More cowbell.

Is that a Jared dines reference?

+Andrew Kropp he's subbed to Jared so I would think so

paiste cup chime ?

trademark.

Sorry... Not Sorry! Paul's my favorite Slayer Drummer... Divine woah those peddles are cooking. But your 100% spot on if Kerry and Tom were decent human beings and good businessmen they would have respected and paid him what he's worth and ended the Final Campaign w Dave. But $$$ the root of all evil.

Jeff was the heart and mind behind Slayer, and I agree with you saying that Dave was the soul of the band. Well, at least Dave's still drumming out there, and we have plenty of Jeff's recordings to headbang to \m/ R.I.P

@@hatred9427 they made plenty of good records without Dave. He is the best drummer on earth though.

@@wingman7877 I wouldn't say plenty, more accurate you should say "Soundtrack to the Apocalypse" and "God Hates Us All". Eitherway any of those albums are nothing compared with what they did with lombardo, dont get me wrong im not saying those albums are bad records in general, just saying the ones with lombardo are better.

@@DrScott666 No way in hell Paul is on Lombardos level !! Find 20 people that will agree with you on that ?

Unlike Paul "The Robot" Bostaph.

FUCKING SLAYER!!!

Facts

I think his best drumming was in devine intervention

@@dr.trichome6419 it was Bostaph on Divine Intervention

I love Slayer but without Dave it's only half as impactful. Sorry Paul.

You are correct, sir.

I think it has to do with him leading with his left hand, sometimes.

multiestonian Fake drumming to Slayer is really tiring!

Even the air is too slow!

This is not Rocket Science, just banging try posting Some Neal Peart 😎

You should probably take care of your muscular dystrophy

Thats because he's using the bounce of the sticks to swing off of

ask a death metal drummer, this is just plain simple drumming, and good drumming don't get me wrong.

Morbidxone Q that's a ridiculous statement. There is a video on KZfaq of Marco Minnemann playing this song and he doesn't do it justice. Marco is one of the most technically proficient drummers on the planet. Ever heard of necrophagist? Yeah Marco is the guy they hire to play live so he kills tech death.

Harry Callahan bbhgd see you soon see ye see y t see see see t see see see e see y you were at see r see r we y see y we see r ret you you have

Chris L Marco is sick but he only did one tour, 2007. Hannes Grossman and Romain were the main drummers.

There is a reason company’s sign people and sponsor people...NOT EVERYONE CAN PLAY LIKE THAT!!! AND THEY ARE INHUMAN!!!!

Wow, would love to see that interview.

To have a positive, passing comment from Miles Davis about your musical endeavours would be just staggering. If that happened to you, every Grammy, every album of the year, every accolade going could just go and be tossed into oblivion.

@@robertpavey5615 Yep, but I'm not surprised. Dave's groove surpasses genres. The man would've been a world-class drummer in any style he chose to play. It just happened to be metal.

I like this comment. But I am soooooo jealous. I would love to sit down with Dave and have a chat.

I’m jealous af

@@rodwhite9737 me too love his drumming technique he is my idol

@@rodwhite9737 me too. Seems like THE nicest guy.

Not surprised to hear this. Seems like such a solid dude. Would love to pick his brain. Love genuinely nice people like that.

tom araya is good guy

I meant in a purely musical sense.

***** yeah sorry xd

+TheAbsorbant Once evry 30 years a guy comes along...Dave is one of them. Genre defining drumming.

what about jeff

So damn good we dont even notice it

Paul and Dave are both badasses on the kit,much respect for both,but Dave is heartfelt slayer!

thrash possibly , but Metal no because you're talking Ward, Menza, Powell, so many drummers in the conversation, Clufetos, Appice, Burr, Mcbrain.

And what about that killer-fill at 3:08? Which he modifies somewhat at 3:18... Man, it took me weeks and weeks of careful scrutinising to get to play that at half the speed he plays it. The god of fills, truly. Simple notes, but played with a combination of clinical precision and "effortless" speed...

Exactly from the album

LiverHook Placed exactly.

@LiverHook Placed that's true, but I'd struggle on a song like Killing Fields because of the weird timing.

I think War Ensemble is one of the top examples of perfect extreme metal drumming. Has a bit of everything.

If I played in a band with a drummer like Dave, the audience would just see my back the whole time, "Sorry, guys, but this dude is so good, I gotta watch."

isaac white not really intelligent at drums r ya

INAUDIATIOSNESS 43 i dont play drums at all, i play guitar

+isaac white there ya go

INAUDIATIOSNESS 43 what are you trying to prove?

He is playing that part like this about 10 years now , wtf are you talking about...

The great thing about Dave is that he is a technical, nuanced drummer, who plays heavy music. There's a lot of small details in his playing that a lot of people miss.

XoxeroThePoet He's also still so enthusiastic and passionate about playing that he'll continue to surprise and entertain us for years to come.

Le Diabolique there's no better drummer than Lara Ulrich sorry I couldn't say that with a straight face lol!!!

see also 2:57 (obviously) but also 4:44, fantastic snare work

3:08 too

Yeah is pure magic

0 to 5.42 is fantastic

Over 60 gigs that year... Do that math....

Brandon Decarlo its ridiculous there are guys in cover bands in big cities playing in bars and clubs making that kind of money

right?

Yeah, My heart sank when I watched him tell that story in another clip. I was like... wow. Even being Dave Lombardo, in a world class outfit like Slayer, was giving no real compensation for what will be seen as a historical contribution to the art of metal music. Even this man is a blue collar worker after all that success.

@@bdc-muzik That has to be wrong? Severely underpaid for such a big band!

i would not say paul is better, just different. the slayer with dave in the early days was awesome, i saw them with dave and paul at different times. i prefer dave, but paul has some force to him as well... he was better suited for forbbiden but was a good guy to play in slayer for when he did. either way, to get up there and play for that many people... well respect.

i would say dave has more heart when it comes to drumming. I am been dissatisfied with Paul drum playing at slayer shows.

Dave has his own style of playing. Paul likes to keep it closer to the original, but he's pretty accurate in my opinion. They're both amazing, but I just wish Dave would stop talking so much shit about him. I don't see him playing a lot of stuff off Divine Intervention or Diabolus.

***** The only person trippin here is you.

Dave should be the only drummer in Slayer!!!!

😄😄😄😄😄😄

I lost my shit

Now I can't unsee it.

I fcking lost it man 😂😂

Hahahha

If it wasn't for Lars Dave wouldn't have even played this show!

Sukker Punch if it wasn't for Dave, Lars could be a great drummer.

I have to admit, that was funny. I'm sure Lars feels the same way. But, he's still a great drummer and gets the job done.

Mario Z. If it wasn't for Dave and thousands of other metal drummers.

It's a different style. Have You ever heart about the jazz?! Also another style. However I very like this song: WaaaarEnsemble!!

Amen

Vinnie? Nicko? Duplantier? Silveria? Wilk? Gartska? Minneman? Portnoy?

@@TronciM Menza!

@@Michael-im5fl there's so many non metal ones I've not mentioned too

Dirk Verbeuren’s got a great groove too. But Lombardo is the master. I’m convinced the influence of Cuban percussion in his childhood plays a big role in his approach to drumming in general.

yeah bro still badass

Lombardo aged well.

Like a fine wine.

Lars Ulrich just sucks... Dave is always been better then him now dave still play better then god while lars... well, he practiced, but now he's decent, not a beast as he's been in late '80

I wouldn't bet on that, musicians are one of the most disciplined people when it comes to their craft!
