It feels when there's Dave at the drums 🙂
God save Delta ?
Immortal Rites by Morbid Angel plz
Please do House or Straw by Bury Your Dead or The River by Wage War
I think this guy might be a chick. Someone else mentioned it, & i can see why he thought so. Very narrow shoulders, but i dunno. Would be cool that a chick can play like this, & has such a musical taste, but meh propably not.
Any Metallica covers planned?
One of the sickest DW kits I've seen in a while.
This is a sick track, great playing.
How about some Cattle Decapitation "One Day Closer to the End of the World"???
Really enjoy your playing! You are a famous arena rock drummer in disguise or one underrated drummer.
Hey man! Have skin igual you In Fortnite! You know??
Good song. Love Dave Lombardo's drumming. Grew up on Dave and Pete Sandoval…
WOW!!! Simply WOW!!! Man, if somebody tells me that's Dave Lombardo in a Halloween custom, I'd believe it!!! LOL! WOW, Amazing man!!! What ride is that??? What model?? Best ride ever!!!
Good work!!!
Fuxkin dope bro??
Just keeps getting better bad ass????????
Awesome song
Oh that double bass Delta! Like a punch to head!???
I also have a challenge. MGLA any song.
You are probably not gonna respond but, can you do heaviest matter of the universe by gojira
??????????????????????????
Excellent!!!!!
just found out about your channel today and i have to say you are one hell of a drummer i was just wondering if you could do some avenged sevenfold songs or do more slipknot
Badass as always , keep it up .
Dude! Ninja you're ethic is on point man ???? inspiration to say the very LEAST ??
Awesome…great album…good job. Thnx for posting.
Best snare in the game
Nailed it! Great god damn song !
??
stay true brother u are the best bro
Change of pace, please look into covering Roseanna by Toto. Very technical and skilled shuffle
Testaments always had a way of snaggin Death members lol this album has Steve on bass and the great James Murphy on guitar..now they have the atomic clock and the fella who taught Lombardo d kick Mr Gene Hoglan
Fuck! I need a smoke after watching that shit! Damnit man….
I heard Delta plays so hard that after each song his kit has to be wiped down cuz the wood weeps .
Glass Prison – Dream Theater – Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Dave Lombardo dude… great cover
I think Testament was one of the lesser know bands that should have been better known.
Also a request, cover Five Finger Death Punch's "The Bleeding". One of the most badass beats going.
That snare… ❤️
Brutal!!!
Those Zildjian symbols sound so good…you definitely could do studio time for whoever needs back up… bro that was killa ??
We are living in a time where people are being demonetized for one simple clip of music, yet Delta still puts out killer covers just for our entertainment. All while trying to put time into his own music and career. Thank you, we appreciate it!
Another awesome video bro. What’s the hardest song you have ever done on drums ?
nice…
Пьяный что ли? В начале не попал первый удар бочкой. И потом местами коряво, надо было переписывать – он может на порядок лучше.
Flippin awesome song and one DOPE azz drummer?% Chanting DELTA" —- DELTA"—- DELTA!!!
