awesome job sir
Amazing !
You're the best drum cover i've watherd here ! – Phil from Paris in France
Should have went onto silent scream,,,,
JEEZ, I GOTTA get a new kit……. AWSOME as F'ing EVER!
Can you do a Mgla drum cover?
Maybe a song from the new album Age of excuse. Track 4!
Great drumming, enjoying your vids.
That fill at 4 20 is so fast…amazing how hard those parts are considering its like 30 yrs old…great job as usual
I just left this comment on a way older video. Flatten out your rack toms, bring your throne height up a little and get direct drive pedals. And not just would you be able to play faster/with more power for less energy, but you would save your body a lot of strain (even if you don't feel it much, trust me, you're fucking your back up slowly–Pete Sandoval and Paul Mazurkiwecz both had back problems for years [Sandoval needed surgery] from sitting too low, bad tom placement and the consequent strain it put on them).
It's Dave wearing a mask very cool
I love it when you play Slayer especially this Slayer because Lombardo's always been my favorite drummer and ever since I found you on YouTube I have to admit you're right up there with the greats ?
This guy should play in a band… The band will be so thankful.
Good cover, although the hihat bleeds too much in the mcis, try to mix lower the cymbals and higher the drums
Dave "The Hurricane" Lombardo. ?
Dude, if I may, I'd like to request two songs from you that I KNOW you'd nail perfectly: Symbolic by Death and Indoctrination by Dimmu Borgir. Keep it up man!
I just cant stand Slayers vocals lol… So bad. Ruins the whole band haha
This setup is badass
Love to see you kill seasons in the abyss lol just found the video of you killing my favorite slayer song seasons in the abyss lol
One of the best slayer songs ever and this dude slayed it
Kylo Ren goes south of the death star. Many drum kit were murdered in the making of this video!
All day every day Delta Empire!
Would be very special for me 2 hear a drum cover from After the Burial with the song BERZERKER!!!
Please do it!!!!!
Pure class !
Killer drumming.
Also, I must say….I think the mask and outfit it is very smart way to stay private. I remember an interview with Daft Punk back in the day talking about being anonymous in a very non-private world. My hero both in drumming and in life, Neil Peart always struggled with fans flocking to him and never handled "celebrity" well. I would hate to be harassed at a restaurant when you just want to have a quiet meal by yourself or with family. Great work Delta….I look forward to more from you. Have you considered covering any Rush songs?
what's with the dumb mask
Lombardo!!!
Dont stop!…SILENT SCREAM,LIVE UNDEAD,GHOST OF WAR
Infant annihilator would be amazing to see him cover. ??
Bravo!!!
Please do a cover by Mushroomhead
Scooby Doo Episode #100:
Fred takes the mask off and it's actually Jon Dette trying to get his old job back!
"You meddling kids!"
Watching this makes me appreciate Lombardo even more! Love the use and transitions from ride to snare throughout…
nasty!
That China looks like a Tonka Tire. Sick
W pytę.
Eh, slayer.
Damn! I'm completely exhausted just watching this going for beer break and maybe shot of oxygen dudes got some skills. Ahahahahahahah!
Great sound. Snare is to deep but everything else is money
