Performance Spotlight: Ray Luzier 

Pisses me off when Korn fans rag on Ray. Dude is fucking awesome. Not only can he be groovy, but he can be precise and tight.

One of the best but underrated Metal Drummer of this generation.

He's one of the best drummers of all time.

Ray was one of my instructors at Musicians Institute. He is a fantastic drummer and human being! He was always super nice and interested in helping students with their musical careers. I feel very lucky to have been one of his students and friend’s. He’s just a great person all around!

3:55 WTF!!!!!!!!!! Madness!!! Summoning a genie out of that ride cymbal!!! Hell yeah!!!!!!!!

I love the groove, tightness, creativity and fluency. Freaking awesome man.

This guy is the whole reason korn got fired up again, and he plays the old korn songs better than they have ever been played.

Besides the fucking monster drumming, that's just a badass song! With Dug Pinnick of King's X behind the mic, you can't go wrong...

Finally a metal drummer who knows how to use his hi hats!

I saw Ray play at Kansas City, KS several months ago. He is a beast when he is playing. Watch him closely when he is onstage and you will witness one of the great drummers of all times. He literally is possessed by the beat.

This one is for you, grooveless metalcore drummers and triggered double bass blastbeaters. Watch and learn

The thing I find so great about Rays playing is that no matter what time signature he's laying down(and there are a bunch of them during this song)his fills are always so clean(regardless of complexity) & you can make out everything he's doing.A lot of drummers have great fills,but you can't make out what they're doing during them & when they go back into the verse/chorus,it can sound sloppy sometimes.Ray always makes it a note to point out that cleanliness is one of the most important things to practice & speed & endurance will follow,in his lesson/teaching videos.I think he's got the clean technique and odd time signatures to beat Neil Peart,but his style & fills are better.With Neil,you can anticipate exactly what fill hes gonna play next,but with Ray You don't know what he's gonna do next & that's what makes him such a great drummer.

I will never cease to be amazed how a person can use both hands and both feet to to implement a rhythm and groove with improvisational flair. And while "locked in" as if it was computer generated. Amazing. Never gets old.

It sounded so cool on the CD , but to see it played. What a piece of work. You are one hell of a drummer. Awesome

UltraDrummer! One of my favorites since I first heard Ray!

More reason this guy is quickly becoming my favorite drummer. Certainly an inspiration to watch. You can definitely tell he does it because he loves it.

3:46 that was beautiful and that bell compression to end it. Fucking love it

Check out Army of Anyone if you've never heard of them. It's Ray on drums, Scott and Dean DeLeo (from Stone Temple Pilots) on guitar and bass respectively, and Richard Patrick from Filter on vocals. The whole album is great - a hidden gem in the rock catalogue.

Ray, Thank You.

Raymond Lee "Ray" Luzier .............PURE TALENT...

Wow! Truly a student of his craft, and he never stops learning....just gets better and better.

It's just beautiful drumming, that's the only way to describe it. My new hero

this beat is straight FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ray is a animal!!!! this is what turned me on to KXM

this is some quality drumming

In love with this guys' drumming. His style and choices during live performances and such. Hard to believe he's in his forties.

I just watched this for the thousandth time. This is one of the best single performances I have ever witnessed I can’t even keep track of what the fuck is going on that was mind blowing.

This is how I aspire to play. every fill has a different sound, different feel. He plays with such creativity it’s mind blowing

I had no idea he had this kind of skill, proficiency and independence... This dude is a world class drummer.

Unbelievable. The creativity that went into this performance. Wow.

Best drum perfirmance i have ever seen period.

The man is god!!! Absolute beast, best feel in for a drum kit! Love it

Great drumming, His hand motions are flawless, An A+ Drummer!!!

ray may be my new favorite drummer..so tight and I just love his creativity

his use of cymbals is just BEAUTIFUL!!!

Loving this track and Rays' playing

The dude is all over the place tight as fuck absolutely awesome and the first time I actually like the sound of a pearl drum set

I met Ray a few years ago. Very genuine guy, talked drums and went on his way. Definitely one of our better percussionist today!

One of my favourite novadays!!!!

Man, Ray just blows my mind every time I see him play. He’s seriously one of the best, clean, and smooth drummers in modern metal. I love me my blast beats and weird stuff, but there’s something so captivating about how he just taps into the fundamentals of drumming, while still managing to throw in flare that’s natural and creative. Ray also just always seems to love what he’s doing, and that smile on his face you see every now and then always feels so genuine: it’s what music is about, man.

I went into that one with low expectations. Damn, that was freaking incredible.

Been a huge fan of Ray's all throughout his career. He keeps getting better and more creative with any band he's involved with.. and plays with so much power and passion. Thanks for the inspiration Ray, you're my favorite drummer ever!

I don't know how many times I've watched this but I absolutely love the playing Ray. He's in my top 5 drummers.

Ray is simply a MONSTER !

I recently watched a video here on YT with Ray & few others including Danny Carey & Justin Chandler of Tool. It's the 1st time I've heard him speak came across great he was stating how he went to the college that's a massive music college in the US & how he learnt a lot. It was like he really wanted to be a master of his craft. Which he certainly is & very humble with it. Just seemed like a decent very talented person. Exactly how I'd describe Danny longlegs Carey. Both of those 2 drummers take it to another level. There's not many that do for me. Then again there's a lot of drummers out there I've not heard.

just got the cd today. monster band, monster sound, monster everything. Three superior talents going at it with energy rarely seen anymore. This will be one of my most favorite albums of all time... i know it

Simply eargasmic! 🤟🤟🤟

Ray definitely and definitively "Gets into it!" R. L. Zier ☻️

Dear lord he's a badass. This whole groove is INSANE

That's incredible, ray you the man

Ray is one of my all time favorite drummers. So good! I love this song too.

Holy crap! That was incredible. The way Ray and George closed the tune blew me away.

One of the best rock drummers. This is the type of stuff that guys like mj lack in their playing n teaching.

Was that a 3 tap hand mute on the ride! (3:55) -SICK-

Holy shit, I think he's my new favorite drummer. I've watched a few of his videos now and I can say he seems like a good humble dude who can just slay the set.

Mind: blown. Holy shit.

Ive put off of watching this for a whioe but im glad i finally did.. Ray is hella awesome!

I've been listening to this guy's drumming for years, but it just clicked for me all the projects he's been a part of and the songs I like from them. That said, I just now realized that he's one of my favorite drummers.
