Dave Lombardo is Cuban and I do seriously think that has a noticeable influence on his style of drumming. As far as Anthrax goes, I mean can you imagine anyone but a bunch of New York Italians playing that music? It funny, but it's also kind of true.

But, yeah, Anthrax is about as Italian American as metal can get.
