Lombardo lost a step?

Yeah he definately does alot of double work with his right foot. You can clearly hear see it during the "skank" beat he does.

You seem like a guy who has a lot knowledge about drums. Do you know if it was Lombardo and Slayer who first started with the skank beat back in the 80's?
He probably learned his right foot technique by practicing to Led Zeppelin

John Bonhamn was the master of the right foot technique...

nope, the skank beat was there before Slayer. I know that because Tallica's Kill Em All was released before Slayer's Show No Mercy, and Lars Ulrich also uses that skank beat on some songs. my guess is that it was one of the older bands (Venom, Judas Priest, Deep Purple; dont know any of their work tho). maybe it even was Iron Maiden (listen to the song Iron Maiden from the album Iron Maiden. Clive uses the skank in the intro).

When they come to the slower part of the song, Dave plays something on the bass drum, which SOUNDS like double bass, but it is played on ONE bass drum! a lot of people say that Nicko McBrain (Iron Maiden) has the fasted right-foot in the rock music (so not right foot during double bass grooves, only in single bass grooves), but I think Dave Lombardo's right foot might be a tad faster than his!

Lombardo is the fuckin' drumgod! :metal

and he always WILL BE!

But Slayer was one of the first to drive the skank beat up at a really high tempo. A lot of extreme bands startet to do this too (Death and Possessed). I wish I was there in 84 when Haunting The Chapel came out. I guess Chemical Warfare scared a lot of people

by **Rudiculous** on Tue May 10, 2005 4:44 pm

yes, that is true. Dave Lombardo was the first to take it up too such a high speeds like on Necrophobic and Chemical Warfare. thats also why slayer is such a big influence to death and black metal band, because they were the first with such high speeds. \m/

I do know alot about drums. I have been playing for about 3 years. I'm in a metalcore/ thrash band called Tormented. My main idol is Lombardo. He wasn't the first person to do the "skank" but he definately made it very popular and improved it and made it faster. He is definately a thrash/ speed metal legend.

Dave hasn't gotten slower. He's just as good as he was 20 years ago.

Fck yeah! Dave is as good as he ever was. He's not a one dimensional drummer anymore. He plays it all. I believe he put out a solo album, can't think of the name right now though, shit. \m/ :twisted:

He recorded one but it hasn't been released. He just did drums with DJ Spooky. The album is called DJ Spooky vs Dave Lombardo.
