It was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had. "I immediately started working on the record. "When the pandemic hit, I thought, 'Well, I can't tour now,'" he says. I just had to find the right time - for me - to do it." I have had ideas that I've recorded on cassette over the years, but Patton kept insisting that I had to do a 'drum album.' So, the idea behind the album is years in the making. I was already familiar with Tito and was a bit shocked that Patton was so musically diverse, and that he surrounded himself with musicians of the same mindset. "He introduced me to Tito Puente's 'Top Percussion' album. " Patton originally gave me the idea as far back as 1998," explains Lombardo. The Cuban-born Lombardo's resume includes outings with the acrobatic, Mike Patton-led FANTÔMAS, the critically revered John Zorn, experimental hip-hop artist DJ Spooky and the resurrected punk icons MISFITS. The 13-track collection, previously previewed with the release of "Journey Of The Host", is the result of a 40-year career that saw Lombardo rise to prominence as a co-founder of SLAYER, earn two Grammy Awards, and expand his repertoire across genres. Dave Lombardo, one of the most influential, innovative and prolific drummers of modern music, has shared "Separation From The Sacred", the second single from his debut solo album, "Rites Of Percussion", which will arrive on May 5 via Ipecac Recordings.
