Dave Lombardo

Dave Lombardo is a legendary drummer best known as a founding member of Slayer, where his thunderous, high-speed drumming helped define thrash metal. Born in Cuba and raised in California, Lombardo's aggressive yet technically brilliant playing earned him the nickname "The Godfather of Double Bass." Beyond Slayer, he's had an eclectic career, performing with bands like Fantômas, Suicidal Tendencies, Dead Cross, and even contributing to film scores. In 2023, he released his first solo album, *Rites of Percussion*, showcasing his diverse rhythmic influences. Whether delivering brutal metal beats or experimental grooves, Lombardo remains one of the most influential drummers in heavy music history.
