I recently started listening to Slayer with in e past year. Man, I missed a lot growing up. Dave is amazing, most of the reason I listen is just to hear the drums. No one else out there is like him. Makes me wonder if he is behind the Delta mask...🤔
...so I've re-watched this one more than any of your vids... Not only because I love listening to Slayer, but because waaaay back in the day when I started learning to play drums, this was one of my very first covers - because I always thought of it as a "slow/easy" Slayer song. I love that you do it so well, but... it also makes me realize how incredibly badly I was playing it all those years ago - how many things I was butchering mercilessly! Hah. Your rudiment proficiency with the double-stroke hits and left leads are just awesome, and for the main intro groove, your floor tom is so wonderfully simple yet so perfectly tight. I hate you. And sort of am obsessed with you also! Big fan.
Delta is incredibly good. Although I am not a drummer I am a huge fan of music and have played a bit in the past. When I think I've had enough of watching him play (especially Slayer) I manage to come back and watch again---and again.
Dave Lombardo the grooviest Latin style metal drummer ever. No comparison. Ever. Legend. Great job! One of my next covers. I can feel your feeling that one! Keep Rockin! 🥁👍🔥🔥🎸
Dave Lombardo is the best by far just finished watching him play with Led Zeppelin at the Bonzo Bash Whole lotta love was the song unreal bloody real awesome.
Is there a video of Delta Empire playing the drums of a song in its entirety without the video spliced to see just certain parts of the song being played on the drums? An aerial video shot of the song played from start to finish in one take would be rad!
LOVE how the guitar solos step in back and forth. An orgasmic battle of guitar solos, so pleasant to the ears. Top solos start from 1:38 (Hanneman), 3:08 (King) and 3:26 (Hanneman). On drums, this song lacked that typical metal aggressiveness, but it was played accordingly to the song's necessities. Just didn't need to overdo, and that's fine sometimes. That's a very cool song overall.
Can you cover Sunk Loto 5 years Silent? Please. As a bass player and fan of your work, im amazed at how you cover all these guys different feels..spot on..for real..I love drums. Right on.
I continuously walk away impressed with Delta. Anyone who can play a cover behind Lombardo with the precision that Delta does is ....well, I don't have words for it. Keep it up. Love the Slayer covers. Thank you for the entertainment my friend!
Awesome song to show non-drummers what everything is used for :) Your setup is so awesome. Mics are top notch and the dude doing the mixing too as this sounds so good. All your videos do. I'm surely not the only one that wonders why you choose to be anonymous!
This is an awesome sounding mix of the song, I love how it's drum-heavy, gives the song an alternative "version" for me to jam out to when I feel like bashing along :D
Back in 1998 this song was skipping on the CD player for like 2 hours but everyone in the apartment were on meth and no one bothered to fix it. Drove me nuts lol.. wasn’t my place nor was I high. But I digress. Bad ass cover! \m/
I know this video is over two years old, but it's new to me. I just recently found your channel, and I've enjoyed every video I've seen. You make it look effortless. Very enjoyable to watch.
You are like a Drum Chef if that makes sense. You slice down every beat to its original boom. So calculated beats on the drum that most drummers on RUclips overlook. Very well done, I would love to see more drum covers on Slipknot songs from their recent release of We Are Not Your Kind like Nero Forte, Solway Firth and etc. Again, I always am a fan of your drum covers, please keep it up Shout out from Dubai.
While other metal drummers concentrate on speed, Dave never forgot the most important thing. Groove.
Lombardo has his own, unique drumming style. Tribal like, dunno how to dress it in words. Slayer lost something without Lombardo.
@@polsick probably from his Cuban roots.

He is the ace of both
A criminally overlooked Slayer song!
criminally insane, you might even say
I can't downvote a good pun. :)
R. Andrew Hart Oh, how I was hoping Delta would dive right into Temptation at the end of this!
R. Andrew Hart-AMEN TO THAT! I SO agree. The guitar riffs ARE INSANELY AWSOME IN THIS SONG & well OF COURSE the drum beat is FUCKIN UNBELIEVABLE!
So is Spill The Blood.
Dave Lombardo deserved so much more than he got from Slayer. A genius that got the shaft.
For me personally, it's not Slayer without Dave Lambardo.
Well, he got world recognition and all metal fans praise him. He got rich as well. What else?
@@smanzoli he should've gotten the pay he deserved and not kicked out of Slayer.
@@Abner_Devereaux_Jr As a drummer myself, it was a legit win when Paul Bostaph replaced him.
So underrated drummer: Mr. Lombardo.
The best part of delta empire : He cuts the crap talk and goes directly to metal
so far...this guy here is my favorite you tube drummer ever! you rock!
michael harper watch josh steffen
josh steffen is good but delta is better especially with this cover
this is a chick
Josh Steffen is a dick
why do you know him?
Impossible to not rock your head to this. Great playing, crazy energy, and badass kit
I really like the way you put your power and vigor in your playing. True devotion

Awesome cover! It's criminally insane how underrated this song is.
I see what you did there!
he is a beast always right on time
Most exciting drummer on RUclips and kit sounds as good as it looks.
Dave Lombardo the grooviest Latin style metal drummer ever. No comparison. Ever. Legend. Great job! One of my next covers. I can feel your feeling that one! Keep Rockin! 🥁👍🔥🔥🎸
2:04 bro my head explodes when i hear this fill its so awesome
That 1st snare hit at 32 sec. Killer. And someone who can make a Go Pro vibrate on a drum beat is No 1. Delta Empire = The Groove Master.
That snare sound!!!
The most impactful snare drum sound I ever heard up to now. And some very cool drumming. Strong like concrete.
It´s a remo-head :)
Dude you are spot on
You do the best covers of slayer I’ve heard..
You are top-tier🔥🔥🔥🔥
My lucky number 11 ..
Brazilian deep dark beautiful black magic rhythm.
Watching him play makes every song seem like its the best song ever.
I love how much he is getting into it. Don't hold back... show us how you really feel. lol
that's what i love bout this guy, he REALLY seems to love these songs
Dave Lombardo is the best by far just finished watching him play with Led Zeppelin at the Bonzo Bash Whole lotta love was the song unreal bloody real awesome.
those floor toms kick my arse.... whoever mic'd them up, MAD PROPS!
Your Slayer covers are just utter perfection, so amazing
great hi-hat tone bro
Definitely by far the best drummer in the universe
Quite possibly my favorite Slayer track of all time! I have fond memories of snowboarding to this 20 years ago.
Is there a video of Delta Empire playing the drums of a song in its
entirety without the video spliced to see just certain parts of the song
being played on the drums? An aerial video shot of the song played from

It's amazing how much more simple metal used to be. I'd forgotten, hadn't listened to Slayer and such for a long ass time.
I've watched alot of your covers..
Always on point great sound, absolutely beautiful kit.
LOVE how the guitar solos step in back and forth.
An orgasmic battle of guitar solos, so pleasant to the ears.

Superb!
The beginning is pure metal!
