This is coming from the guy who said the Rev's death was worse than Dimebag, so yeah, Lombardo's better.
i actually comparing those both right now before you said that. not really much of a difference at all sir. Reign was more of a faster paced all out thrash album. South was kind of slowed down which is where i can see the difference you are talking about. but in the end it was still the same drumming in Reign when the fast parts kicked up. Lombardo does mixes it up when the tempo is slow. fast..not so much. that is where i see Rev is better then Lombardo. he can go fast and slow and make it still sound good. i admit Rev's drumming was watered down after they became famous. hes best work will always be in the earlier albums and when he did freestyles and solos. on the self titled it wasn't so great but had some good stuff here and there.
