The 13 Greatest Rock and Roll Drummers Of All-Time
13. Dave Lombardo – Slayer
Cuban American drummer Dave Lombardo co-founded Slayer, a pioneering thrash metal band that has influenced countless acts that followed. Lombardo’s playing became a key part of Slayer’s sound, and he has consequently had a huge influence on the entire metal genre. He is famed for a fast, aggressive style and has been dubbed “the godfather of double bass” due to his impressive work with two bass drums. This is most notable on Slayer’s 1986 epic Reign in Blood and 2006’s Christ Illusion. Lombardo has also shown his versatility by being able to slow it down, and typically you will struggle to find metal drummers that are capable of that. In addition to Slayer, Lombardo has also done work behind the kit for Philm, Fantomas, Grip Inc, and Testament. Throughout his 30 year career in the industry, Lombardo has proven himself to be an innovative and important figure in the metal scene.
