David Lombardo (born February 16, 1965) is a Cuban-American drummer, best known as a co-founding member of the thrash metal band Slayer. He currently plays drums with Fantômas, Dead Cross,[2] Mr. Bungle, Empire State Bastard, and Misfits.[3]
Lombardo previously played drums on nine Slayer albums, including Reign in Blood (1986) and Christ Illusion (2006). His music career has spanned over 40 years, during which he has been involved in the production of 35 commercial recordings covering a number of genres. He has performed with numerous other bands, including Grip Inc., Philm and Fantômas, in addition to Slayer.[4]
Lombardo is widely known as an aggressive heavy metal drummer. His drumming has been praised as "astonishingly innovative".[5] Drummerworld named him "The Godfather of Double Bass".[6] He has had a significant influence on the metal scene and inspired modern metal drummers, particularly extreme metal drummers.[7]
