Dave Lombardo, the iconic drummer known for his powerful “double kick” technique with Slayer and countless other metal acts, is now bringing that same intensity to the coffee world. The renowned musician has launched his own official private label espresso roast, named “Double Kick”, which comes in a unique, collectible drum-shaped tin.
The new product is a perfect fusion of Lombardo‘s two passions: drumming and coffee. The limited-edition tom-tom drum tin is the first in a signature series and is designed to appeal to drummers and music enthusiasts alike. Each tin is individually packaged in a special gift box, making it a distinct collectible for fans looking to add a piece of music history to their collection.
The coffee itself is a testament to Lombardo‘s meticulous attention to detail. The Costa Rican beans were hand-selected by the drummer himself, then roasted to his precise specifications by Concept Cafes & Coterie Coffee Co. The collaboration, which adds another dimension to the growing trend of musicians launching their own coffee and beverage brands, ensures that the flavor profile is as thunderous as Lombardo’s signature drumming.
“Coffee’s always been a part of my DNA,” Lombardo said. “I had my first taste as a kid — and I’ve been rattling ever since. For years, I’ve thought about releasing my own brew. The name Lombardo’s Double Kick has been in my head since 2015 — but I was never going to put my name on something that didn’t hit hard enough.
“After two years of working closely with Coterie Coffee Co., Double Kick finally exists — and it rips. Through precision roasting, we developed a bold and smooth-flavored blend, never bitter — power-packed with pure thrash fuel.
“The tin design is based on one of my favorite kits, and the font? A direct nod to a logo I slashed out years ago. This isn’t just coffee — it’s a collector’s piece.”
Throughout his legendary career, Lombardo has left an indelible mark on a variety of genres. From his foundational work in thrash metal with Slayer to his contributions to bands like Suicidal Tendencies, Misfits, Mr. Bungle, and Testament, his influence is undeniable. Now, he’s offering fans a taste of that legacy, hoping to give them the same rhythmic burst of energy that he brings to the stage.
