While other metal drummers concentrate on speed, Dave never forgot the most important thing. Groove.

[asleepnomore]

Dave Lombardo deserved so much more than he got from Slayer. A genius that got the shaft.

[sergiocastro]

The best part of delta empire : He cuts the crap talk and goes directly to metal

[crazyjoedavola]

This was one my favorite bands as a teenager, I regret not seeing them live...it looked like fun. Still listening in 2025

[beaverbuster]

so far...this guy here is my favorite you tube drummer ever! you rock!

[RealTobyMaguire]

Impossible to not rock your head to this. Great playing, crazy energy, and badass kit

[konstantinskorikov]

I really like the way you put your power and vigor in your playing. True devotion

[FlashGoro]

...so I've re-watched this one more than any of your vids... Not only because I love listening to Slayer, but because waaaay back in the day when I started learning to play drums, this was one of my very first covers - because I always thought of it as a "slow/easy" Slayer song. I love that you do it so well, but... it also makes me realize how incredibly badly I was playing it all those years ago - how many things I was butchering mercilessly! Hah. Your rudiment proficiency with the double-stroke hits and left leads are just awesome, and for the main intro groove, your floor tom is so wonderfully simple yet so perfectly tight. I hate you. And sort of am obsessed with you also! Big fan.

[astralofy]

2:04 bro my head explodes when i hear this fill its so awesome

[tonypowell]

Most exciting drummer on YouTube and kit sounds as good as it looks.

[mikesloan]

Awesome cover! It's criminally insane how underrated this song is.

[rhettcorbett]

That 1st snare hit at 32 sec. Killer. And someone who can make a Go Pro vibrate on a drum beat is No 1. Delta Empire = The Groove Master.

[MikeSoutham]

those floor toms kick my arse.... whoever mic'd them up, MAD PROPS!

[drumcrazycrary]

Dave Lombardo the grooviest Latin style metal drummer ever. No comparison. Ever. Legend. Great job! One of my next covers. I can feel your feeling that one! Keep Rockin! 🥁👍🔥🔥🎸

[dustinwright]

Dude you are spot on
You do the best covers of slayer I’ve heard..
You are top-tier🔥🔥🔥🔥

[brucebarnsley]

Dave Lombardo is the best by far just finished watching him play with Led Zeppelin at the Bonzo Bash Whole lotta love was the song unreal bloody real awesome.

[harisrizvanbegovic]

The most impactful snare drum sound I ever heard up to now. And some very cool drumming. Strong like concrete.

[__iconoclast]

Your Slayer covers are just utter perfection, so amazing

[HauntingHistory]

I love how much he is getting into it. Don't hold back... show us how you really feel. lol

[fredrambo]

Definitely by far the best drummer in the universe
