Check out a video of me in the studio laying down some drum tracks to our original song called Confession. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5n45UETpE2o.html
First time I ever saw or heard of Ray Luzier was when I was 12 years old watching him play for Van Halen at the Gorge Amphitheater, where I saw my first set of tits from the lady in front of me taking her shirt off as they opened up with Hot for Teacher, and he threw his sticks like 20 feet into the air during the opening drum solo!
He is the real deal. I remember when he was skinny at MIT back in 98. He was one of the most liked and trusted at the school. He always made you feel like you could do what he can do.
Ray is a drummer that everytime i watch him. I just watch in amazement with chills, he is the complete package. Their are so many elements about his drumming that i could go on n on about but to keep it short just the way he hits right through his strikes.. The innovation and dynamics are just mind blowing.
Being in Korn is such a waste of Ray Luzier’s talent. All that 7-string. De-tuned. Sludge-like tempos with no guitar solos. Just garbage. I mean Luzier is a formally trained, and schooled drummer. He played In David Lee Roth’s solo band - and just killed it. All those rocking Van Halen songs. Plus he’s played with plenty of other acts. At the end of the day he’s with Korn for the paycheck. He has to make a living as a musician- and this is a reliable steady gig.
David Silveria was the mastermind behind most of those beats. It's such a shame he fell off the planet basically. Such a huge inspiration back in the day. Ray was an excellent replacement.
Haha! Silveria…. A Mastermind? Ray could drum circles around David silveria any day. David couldn’t keep up and he’s not educated or getting session work like luzier.
Ray is an absolutely amazing human being (charismatic, funny) and musician. I still can't figure out how he manages stick flair tricks with this kind of percussion delivery.
I love a drummer that can fun while they play. Not taking away from Ray ('cause he kicks ass) but his couple of slips from the studio only made him smile more.
Because DW hardware is far superior to anything else, let alone their drums (although there's several other drum [shell] manufacturers who are also incredibly, and arguably equally, as good & well made). Ive used a variety of different drum, cymbal, stick, head, hardware, mic & other percussion and musical instrument & sound equipment makes and models over the years, and ultimately DW hardware is what I arrived at while back, and still use to this day, and it's probably all I'll ever use... The one exception being (oddly enough lol) I have for years & currently still use the Pearl-manufactured ICON series drum set rack & the clamps that go along with it, and this is primarily because I absolutely love the fact that it uses square tubing (not circular/cylindrical) but everything else is DW, besides my double pedal. I love the DW pedals, both 9000 as well as the original 5000 series pedals, but for whatever reason, my current first choice is playing Tama Iron Cobras, chain driven.
Very well done🔥🔥 as per usual😜 Ray never fails to impress!! I’ll be 54 Sunday and I’ve been behind a kit since I was 7…I won’t even attempt this much work😏🤙 I’m sharing this video to group chat for my band rn…followed by the comment “Don’t even ask if we can do any K0Rn🤦♂️😂😂😂
Was not a huge fan of ray in the beginning but he's since really grown on me, I think he's ended up actually being a pretty good fit post Dave. But David Silveria will always be the best, most appropriately fitting (both musically & personality wise), solid, groove constructing pocket drummer Kø₹n ever had or will have. Miss that bloke
@presidentvaxxxbooster5843 yea they lost all the funk and power to the songs i wish ray would try to incorporate some different stuff but just not anywhere near the same style
Awesome display of skill / talent, but I'd almost rather hear what tutorial and educational insights he may have spoke on during his portion of the clinic. Such a humble and relatable guy, I'd love to hear his insight on how some sequences just fall out of him without any apparent thought or effort, but seem so counter intuitive to me that I fuck up and everything falls out of order. A lot of times it's not anything really complex, but it glues the song together.
Don't wunna sound like a hater. But if I wanted to showcase my talent, it most certainly wouldn't be by playing Korn. I was playing those songs when I was 9.
I love Ray, but regardless of his amazing skills, he can't, and never will replicate or attempt to incorporate David's style. Unfortunately Ray butchers alot of classics that should be played as they were originally recorded. The OG fans would embrace him more. Look at Pete Webber in FF, he replicates Raymond Herrera with his flair and Eloy with Slipknot. That is how you become an icon when you respect originals. What he does to Blind is fucked.
