Nice play list, I really appreciate what you are doing. There are a lot of great musicians but a few stands out that are truly the best. Tribute to Neil Peart,
Yes, the Stars is absolutely gorgeous and showed his groovyness and skill. KXM is awesome. Unfortunately many people know him as a man who has f#cked up some Korn shows. It was long ago but.. . I still don't understand how did that happen.
He has been a hidden gem for quite a while. He’s played with a lot of bands. He’s starting to finally get some notoriety now that is much deserved. Ray is an absolute beast! He’s definitely on my short list that are playing today.
Ray Luzier is one of my favorite drummers, he is phenomenal ! Love his style of playing open as well, not many drummer do and he has a great resume, even playing a few years for David Lee Roth.
Ray (in my opinion) is the perfect rock/metal drummer. He's got great feel, chops for days, he's super creative and has great energy. He's the kind of drummer every band wishes they had.
Dude at 11:30 when you mention Ray replacing David and being a monster. So true. I saw korn live with both and Ray is like night and day difference. When Ray plays korn songs live he literally juggles the beat, its so easy to him
LOVE signature drum parts like that verse. You can't always play something totaly unique, but riffs like that are refreshing and give songs a distinct and memorable character.
Ray Luzier is an amazing drummer, with a Very aggressive style... Also u can tell by his style, that he has done a lot of stage play with other bands. As a fill in or fulltime as he is with Korn... For instance just the style and energy alone he brought to this play thru... The stage is a second home to him...
I’m not a Korn fan, but I saw them on a festival while waiting for A Perfect Circle and thoroughly enjoyed it because the show was entirely set up to be the Ray Luzier Extravaganza, lol. Outstanding drummer.
Glad you enjoyed it as much as I do! He's actually a really great teacher too, well worth looking up some of his older lesson DVDs and even brief RU-vid lessons, he has a solid musical foundation and knows what his role is in the band. Plus, you know, chops for days.
Dude, same. My band mates and I are setting up an album club, like a book club where we take turns choosing a new album that none of us has heard before and then reviewing it. We are doing one per week for 2021 and I use these videos to discover all kinds of new goodies.
My wife and I seen Koran in Milwaukee and they were very good, every song played exactly like on the record and the show was awesome, one of the best shows I’ve seen
Ray Luzier is so underrated. He is such a technical drummer with a unique way of playing. Amazing that he can keep that pace up for a whole show. Hats off Mr. LUZIER
KXM = Korn (Ray Luzier) + kings X (Dug Pinnick) + lynch Mob (George Lynch) Pretty amazing that Dug would've been 63 or 64 in 2014 when cranking out the bass lines and singing. Awesome.
yep .. the legend.. doug pinnick ! Andrew... you need to check out Jerry Gaskill of King's X .. like on Moanjam or We Were Born to Be Loved... one bass drum and he kicks it hard... and sings...
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Hey Andy. You should definetly check out swedish drummer Morgan Ågren. Not your average drummer, he's one of a kind. :) Great channel btw. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
I'm enjoying the fact I was blissfully unaware of this video, and this reaction to boot, more than a year later. But I have some serious stank stuck to this face, and has been stuck there since the 1 second mark. LOL
The independence of the opening groove when it kicks in is off the chart difficult - 3/4 on the hi-hat w/ left hand & foot, while doing an implied double bass pattern off the floor and single kick and holding down the back beat with the right. Damn, Ray!
I know it's two years later I breezed the comments did not see this.. you mentioned his cymbals and how close they are. I heard him speak and at the music institute and he spoke and showed how extremely tight he keeps them. His ride barley moves. He also said he is rare because he hits the ride with the shoulder of the stick.., he prefers the tone.
I just legit got my first drum kit I hadda go with an eletric set cause I live in an appartment all cause of the drummers I admire and look up to but you pushed the thought of it further into me
the "karate" chop I saw him use in a live video he did in a store to some Korn songs...it is almost a wah wah type of effect on the bell ringing. It was way easier to hear it in that video. It is on RU-vid. It makes the ringing have a weird tonal change.
He is definitely one of the best drummers and very well poised, never done drugs, doesn’t drink, sounds like Ted Nugent in that respect, but is definitely one of the best.
I saw Korn at a festival a few years back (Never got into them) purely because I'd heard good things about Ray. His solo was insanely impressive, I'll never forget the guy next to me. He said 'That drummer is nuts, he's like an octopus on speed'
This set up is/was his Studio setup. He recently changed it. The Ozone next to his Ride and the China in the center are almost always there. It's part of his signature. I tried to put both cymbals on my set where Ray's cymbals are and I never wanna miss it again. Such a sweet spot for both. And the Snare tone comes from a Pearl 14x6,5 Free Floater Phosphor Bronze Snare.
HA thanks Ben! I don't watch them either TBH. Personally this was a way for me to force myself to watch new things. I was previously stuck in Jeff Porcaro/Steve Jordan world for years (decades...) Thanks for commenting brother!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums hey man no worries. Welcome to the metal world. My drummer is working on a playthrough right now, check us out xoth.bandcamp.com cheers for the entertainment mate!
Andy watch the video of Art Cruze chess and horns, that man doesn’t get enough praise for his drumming skills. I am sure every one will like it. Thanks
Andrew, there is a drum cam video (it's also from Vic Firth) from Ray performing live Korn's Freak on a leash. Please react to it, you won't regret. Greetings from Chile, Southamerica
For some reason people seem to forget just how surgical & passionate Mr. Luzier is because he plays with Korn. In fact, Ray made Korn better, imho. He is a legit Progressive drummer. Hideous Sun Demons was proof of that including his clinics. Obviously, his time at the professional level made him a more succinct player but the average nu-metal drummer still wouldn't have progressed to his level. He's very underrated and I think he deserves a Zildjian live spot. One of the few Metal drummers left that don't require triggers, samples & templates to perform perfectly.
you are now in the world of King's X... the most underrated band ever... a trio of beasts, doug has so much chops he is on the jimi hendrix tour, and sings, jerry is on drums and sings.... and can sing lead, Ty Tabor ? he only is part of the jelly jam supergroup with dream theater/dixie dreggs... it's a rabbit hole man... welcome to the groove... invest more into it... from King's X try Moanjam and We Were Born to Be Loved just to catch up to speed...
Neil Peart was the best, God rest his soul, but now we have Ray Luzier and he just like Neil tries to be better and keep training and get better by listening to the elders.
Since you're interested in what it looks like with Ray Luzier playing with Korn... he just released a (fantastic!) Korn song from one of their newer albums on his private channel, recorded in a really nice studio with multiple angles. I think you'd love it! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oQrnlXICJDg.html For more of their older stuff you might be more familiar with, here's a really cool medley, also with great sound and video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xjYHh1D_8Po.html
I'm not a drummer, so I'm feeling a little stupid for asking, but is the kickdrum in the verse on a back-beat and the on-beat is placed somewhere else? That question doesn't even make sense, but let's stick to the first part of the question... Whatever. Haha. I love Ray Luzier. And your videos, good sir.
He is so underrated.Man he is technically way above some of the contemporary drummers like Joey Jordison and other metal drummers with the exception of Mike Mangini, Gene Hoglan.
personally i would rate Ray above Mike and Gene. because Mike is a technical "hit like a pewssy" boring drummer and Gene is a awesome dude but he's boring to watch too. Ray has the fire when he's on stage. he has great technique and skill and makes the show more interesting to watch.
Rays been with Korn for about 12 years I think. There's fun video of his original audition with Korn. I've included the link. I've always enjoyed their immediate chemistry. Link follows: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YRTZRQ-Uuio.html
I heard that during recording of Korn 3 (Ray’s Korn debut), producer Ross Robinson randomly threw fruit and shit at Ray to throw off his timing because his drumming needed to be way sloppier to sound like old school Korn. Dude is incapable of imperfection.
can you pls make reaction on "Sonic Death" and "Арсений Креститель" (Arsenij the Baptist) drummer Sam Twilight? that's russian new undeground scene, but he so professional
Please check out Amir Bresler "fish". Very artistic and musical drumming. I think it would be a great reaction. Cheers! Also Miguel Lamas is a monster. Watch any of his Meinl videos.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Oh totally, there's always more awesome drummers! George is just a staple of drummer reactions because he's so ridiculous. I love seeing people react to him.
