Dave Lombardo Just as thrash arrived and shook all of heavy metal by the scruff of the neck, Dave Lombardo established himself as the movement's most influential stylist, as the engine behind the one and only Slayer. A rare blend of technique, precision and feel (for which he often credits his Latin roots), Lombardo is quite simply the perfect thrash metal drummer. Loudwire

Dave Lombardo
Cuban-born speed demon Dave Lombardo earned the nickname "A.D.Dave" from his Slayer bandmates after effortlessly keeping the pace on breakneck ragers like "Angel of Death" – which tops out at 210 b.p.m. and includes one of the most awe-inspiring drum breaks in metal – and "War Ensemble," all while hinting at swinging Latin jazz. Inner-band tensions have forced him in and out of the band a couple of times (he's currently playing with Dead Cross), but those fluctuations have allowed him to test his mettle with art-metal experimenters Fantômas, renowned composer/provocateur John Zorn, trip-hop leader DJ Spooky and visual artist Matthew Barney. "He's a caffeine-head," Lombardo's former Slayer bandmate Kerry King once said. "He's always ampin'. He can't sit still."
