If an amazing drummer named Dave Lombardo didn't exist, Kevin Talley would be in Slayer right now, because he fucking KILLED that audition. I think the rest of the members are sort of looking at him, stunned, like, "Damn, this kid is goooood..."
@dsiudara Talley is a fuckin' great drummer, but Slayer needed Lombardo because he is an original member and his name attracted the old Slayer fans. As long as I admire Lombardo, I would have prefered Talley, probably he would have brought something new in Slayer sound, like Bostaph in Divine Intervention.
@randimus65 That's actually a really easy way to fuck with Talley IRL: call him Kevin Bacon. Friend of mine worked security for Rocko's in Manchester, NH and said that some dude almost managed to start a fight with Talley by referring to him as "you Kevin Bacon motherfucker" at a Daath show.
@nando88 Isn't a tall high hat just perfect:P? I hate it so much that my high-hat can not get as tall as this one, because everytime I play skank beats or cross handed blast beats it just doesn't feel comfortable. But I can't get the snare drum much lower, because then the gap between my snare and my toms would be to big, preventing me from doing epic death metal drum fills
Hey ladies, if you want to discuss hair styles go the In Style.com or some shit. I think he killed it. I've always been impressed by kevin Talley's work since I first heard him on Killing on Adrenaline. Can't blame Slayer for going with Lombardo tho. Original formula.
That's how you play the drums motherfuckers with a shitload of balls!!!! too bad his faggot ass hair cut got in the way of landing a gig with Slayer hahaha.
this guy knows how to play the drums and he even have the slayer feel to say the least.....but I guess the reason he didn't get the job is because of his hair.....lmao!....peace!
I just watched that "world's worst drummer" video, which was funny, but I had to cleanse my pallet afterward. So I decided to watch this video...thank you Kevin Talley (and Slayer) for restoring my faith in drums
Oh my fucking god Paul Bostaph??? he sucks as bad as Talley does here.They both have no feel or control when playing these songs.If any drummer listened to old slayer they would know the difference.Dave is the only drummer for slayer to have any kind of feel or control to his playing.
Either he hits too hard on cymbals or he doesn't hit hard enough to the toms (especially kicks). There's a possibility of cymbals being too loose too but the "ssssssss" sound dominates music which is not cool.
I don`t like his style, it looks like shit is flying all over the place and looks weird as fuck. I know he`s a good drummer, but slayer ... ? Neah. never. Just my opinion, don`t kill me.
@skrew255 From what I understand is that he got the spot, but as soon as he got it, Lombardo wanted back in. So he did get the gig, but never got the chance to play.
@KINGKAI41 No you don't. Look at Proscriptor's audition. He is a much better drummer than Kevin Talley, too... better yet, look at Dave Lombardo. He never played obnoxiously hard like this guy, and he has played drums for Slayer longer than anyone else.
@LordKellicos obviously his volume suits the music he's playing. i dont think he's playing overly hard, he's playing just as one would in that musical context. plus, dave lombardo has been doing his thing for years, his body and movement has accustomed itself to being efficient while still blasting out the volume
wow, es un tremendo baterista!! y además esos temas son muy dificiles y a la medida para paul bostaph... pero kevin es un batero fenomenal... impresionante!!! pero el mejor baterista para grabar con slayer es lombardo y el mejor para las presentaciones en vivo es bostaph...
Kevin Talley has drummed for so many great bands(Dying Fetus/Misery Index/many others. wish he would have got the job, slayer would have just gotten heavier
@tobiaseugene666 OH THAT'S FUCKIN FUNNY!!! 90 percent of their music was with Dave Lombardo hell they coulda retired after he left and nobody coulda blamed them. And with everything they did with Dave Lombardo AND Paul Bostaph their entire fucking career your gonna say too bad this dude didnt get the job cause what? THEY WERENT FUCKING HEAVY ENUFF???
@Tudeburger man you must not be able to comprehend very well!.all i said is that would have been heavier if they had talley on drums. slayer is heavy dude, real heavy! just if you add talley who is a technical death metal/thrash drummer to the mix, one who hits the kit hard with technicality and precision at much higher bpm, well you're going to have a drummer that makes music heavier. Talley's tone is sickening
@tobiaseugene666 Talley fuckin rocks no doubt about it but he aint with Slayer cause Slayer comprehends what is best for Slayer. Now, ya wanna get into a discussion about how much better AC/DC would have sounded if Neal Peart was their drummer? I think he did just fine with Rush but hey, I don't know everything.
@MetalHeadFilipeG96 Have you heard of the Dying Fetus album Destroy the Opposition? Kevin Talleys drumming in that record is way sicker then Dave Lombardos stuff. However Kevin Talley's style is more suited to Death Metal not thrash metal
@MetalHeadFilipeG96 That's the most funny thing I've ever read. Dave Lombardo is a good thrash dummer and has an iconic status for what he has done for metal drumming. But, let's be serious. Slayer's drumming is very, very basic compared to what today's extreme drummers are playing. Kevin plays Slayer hitting really hard because, compared to what he plays everyday (brutal death metal), Slayer music is 1- basic 2 - not "fast". Believe me : Dave can't play anything by Dying Fetus or Daath.
