Our Take

Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your hats (or berets, if you're feeling fancy) because we have a wild ride on our hands with DAVE LOMBARDO's latest album "Rites Of Percussion" (Cigar Smoke Vinyl edition).

From the moment the needle hits the groove, you know you're in for a treat. Lombardo, best known for his drumming prowess in legendary bands like Slayer and Suicidal Tendencies, has really outdone himself this time. The man may be a master of the skins, but on this album, he proves that he's no slouch when it comes to crafting intricate, groove-laden beats that will make your head spin (in a good way, of course).

The tracklist reads like a who's who of percussion, with each song offering up a smorgasbord of rhythms and textures that will have even the most seasoned music buffs scratching their heads in disbelief. From the tribal madness of "Rhythmic Rhapsody" to the hypnotic groove of "Percussion Prowess," Lombardo's drumming is nothing short of mesmerizing.

But what really sets this album apart is the production. The sound quality is top-notch, with each drum hit and cymbal crash coming through crystal clear. It's like Lombardo is right there in the room with you, pounding away on his kit with the ferocity of a lion on the hunt.

So, do yourself a favour and grab a copy of "Rites Of Percussion" today. Trust us, your ears will thank you.

About the artist

Dave Lombardo

Dave Lombardo is not just a drummer - he's a force of nature, a whirlwind of beats and fills that can make even the most jaded music critic sit up and take notice. With a career spanning over four decades, Lombardo is best known for his time with thrash metal titans Slayer, where his lightning-fast double bass drumming helped define the genre. But Lombardo is no one-trick pony - he has also lent his considerable talents to a wide range of projects, from industrial rockers Ministry to avant-garde jazz outfit John Zorn's Bladerunner. Known for his thunderous drumming style and impeccable timing, Lombardo is a drumming virtuoso whose technical prowess is matched only by his passion for pushing the boundaries of what is possible behind a drum kit. Offstage, Lombardo is a true gent - a laid-back, down-to-earth guy with a wicked sense of humour and a love of good food and fine wine. When he's not touring the world with his latest project, you'll often find him at home in Los Angeles, tinkering with his vintage drum kit or hitting the local taco truck for his favourite carne asada burrito. Love him or hate him, there's no denying that Dave Lombardo is a true original - a drumming legend who continues to inspire and astound audiences around the world. So next time you're in need of a serious drumming fix, do yourself a favour and crank up some Lombardo - you won't be disappointed.
