Slayer's material with Dave is obviously better, even though i didn't care for Christ Illusion or WPB. But what drummer do you think is better. Both drummers are amazing in their own right. I think Dave is a better fit for Slayer, but i just prefer Paul's style more. I think he's an all around better drummer than Lombardo.

Dave Lombardo is gonna win by a longshot. He's Dave fucking Lomardo, inventor of the polka beat.

A tough choice because I don't think there is much too this comparison, they are very similar in style and quality, I will only vote for Bostaph because I generally prefer the work he is involved in. But Lombardo has certainly produced some outstanding work.

Paul is an amazing drummer, no doubt about that! I have to go with Dave Lombardo though. I prefer his looser style, and his drumming on "South Of Heaven" not only made me sit up and take notice of drumming in music for the first time, but is still one of the best drumming performances of all time IMO.

Hahaha, very good =).

My vote is for Lombardo =).

Dave Lombardo is the #1 Metal Drummer, Paul Bostaph is #30.

I have to go with Paul Bostaph. He's done some really amazing work imo, like Shovel Headed Killing Machine by Exodus, Formation of Damnation by Testament, and God Hates Us All by Slayer, which along with Christ Illusion and Reign in Blood, is one of my favorite Slayer albums. Don't get me wrong though, Dave is probably parallel to Paul in skill, I just prefer the work Bostaph has done.

There is no comparison in my book...whether looking at style, talent, or overall influence...You gotta go with the Godfather Of Double Bass himself!

Dave Lombardo

Yeah "lists" are really accurate... This list has Lars at #9 and Gene Hoglan at only #8..

Dave i say, although Paul's work on Divine Intervention was really good. And Dave is also better than Lars.

This made me vote for Dave.

This wasn't even a question to me, I find Dave to be much better, although both are extremely respected.

Lombardo is the man.
