Lombardo is definitely one of my favorite drummers.
Have any of you guys ever listened to Fantomas? They're one of my favorite bands and it consists of
- Mike Patton (Ex. Faith No More) - Vocals & Keyboards
- Trevor Dunn (Ex. Mr. Bungle) - Bass
- Buzz Osbourne (Melvins) - Guitar
- Dave Lombardo (Slayer,etc..) - Drums
I don't know what you could categorize them as, but they're kind of an avante-jazz-metal band. I've seen them live twice and Lombardo is amazing, especially in a small club setting. They're too small to have techs, so Lombardo is usually setting up his own kit if you get there early enough. He also sets his kit up at the side of the stage, so you can really see him play.
