Dave Lombardo
SLAYER SLAYER are a thrash metal band infulenced from the likes of black sabbath, motorhead and have played with and headlined with many other metal bands e.g:Exodus,Metallica,Megadeth,Motorhead, Anthrax and Evil scarecrow. Dave Lombardo Is the drummer of slayer and his ex band mates have been, Gary Holt, Tom Araya, Jeff Hanneman,jon dette (previous drummer),paul bostaph (new drummer) and kerry king.
Stylistic views of Dave Lombardo He has been glorified with master/godfather/god of the double pedals by fans and critics alike and has ‘lighting fast’ hands when playing the likes of ‘war esemble’ and ‘raining blood’. Influences of classic rock, thrash, speed metal and death metal. All make lombardo what he is today. A brilliant musician.
Jeff hannemans death In a May 2011 interview when asked if Slayer would make another album, Dave Lombardo replied "Yes absolutely. Although there's nothing written, there are definitely plans. Of course. We have to. Why not? I'm not retiring and I don't think Kerry is retiring either so... I like longevity and a true musician never abandons his art." However, Araya said Slayer would not begin writing a new album until Jeff Hanneman's condition improved. Lombardo had high hopes for the album
Why he’s my inspiration His double pedal work is amazing, his work on using all the kit well to keep the pace as fast as it always is with slayer. Even the slower songs will have sixteenths on the ride (reighn in blood) clearly showing how he can keep going. He has keep thrash alive for the best part of years and as im sure he will keep doing so.
