He stepped in to help Ray last minute and pulled it off. That is one GREAT drum tech. Plus he is the guy who had to set up the kit and tear it down after. That is a long day.
Abel went to my school today for career day and it was awesome, he told us his life story and how he got to were he is now and it was really inspiring, he is an amazing person and deserves everything he has, god bless him
Smart man - don't look at the audience until you are relaxed. And note to any wanna be drum techs - learn the catalog. Countless gigs are gotten that way.
Was therein the front row root this show. You were awesome, didn't even realize it wasn't Ray until after this song and I got a good look. Thank you so much for saving this show!
Hi Abel, I'm excited about the videos where you are playing with korn, in the concert, I feel very happy for you ... I totally identified percent. you have a good day
este concierto pra ti debio ser muy con mucha adrenalina te felicito la saco por la ventana desde colombia felicitaciones por aquel concierto de esa fecha
Very good lesson. It's not about who can play the parts, it's about who can compose original music and who is tolerable on tour. The internet is full of drummers who can play the parts, but someone who fits into the band, can repeat a gig a million times and bring the groove night after night? Very few. Now if we got someone to fill in for Danny Carey for a night to shut up the fanboys.
I'm 36 now but have been listening to KoRn since their first album came out when I was a freshman in highschool. I still want to get in the pit and fuck shit up when I hear this at 1:37
I now i would have messed this up so badly (even though i know Blind so well).. Pressure and the crowd would have got to me big time .... Dude freaking smashed it ...
Most touring drummers and guitar players that are big enough to have a drum tech will choose someone that knows there kit and how to set it up but also will choose a accomplished player that can fill in for them in situations like getting sick or emergency so the show can still go on
Fucking killed it!! I bet hes heart was jumping out of his chest,,what a RUSH for him ... catfish you did awesome on that..even tho it was years ago, I get nervous for you every time i watch this.
Way to step up Abe. Must have been when Ray's baby was on the way. I'm sure the first tune was scary. I would have been a nervous wreck. Damn , that had to be one hell of a rush .
While I do agree that Abel is a great drummer (you can find more stuff on him online) if you watch closely, you can tell he is "drumming" to a pre-recorded drum track for the songs. The drum fill at around 4.06 shows this. There are some ghost notes on the snare drum and Abel doesn't hit the snare drum at all in the clip.
Well, he isn't used to playing with the band the way Ray is, so it's kind of obvious he would use a prerecorded drum track, same with the other band members, they were probably doing the same thing.

Adam Hartley yeah I know right what a legend
so what happened to ray then? injure himself?
Wife was having a kid
Adam Hartley should fired ray on spot after this.
Yes. He was like any other drummer. We set up, play and then break down our kits.
I love how the guys keep looking back and checking on you. Such a great band.
Abel has giant nuts.... personnally I would have been so shaky that I would probably do the ride part with 2 hands... lol
lmao hahaha
highpark 55 I also have really bad stage fright! I agree with you!
I love how he kept it original, he brought a David essence to it
that's what i'm sayibg
The second he hit the ride, I played that over and over! Could you imagine what he was feeling?! 30,000 people screaming at him!!! I wanna feel that!!
Abel "Cojones" Vallejo !!!
Awesome performance, mate, spot on, solid as rock !
big shoes to fill...did a awesome job...
Damn right he did! He’s no amateur of course 😂😂 that’s one hell of a backup drummer 🔥
I just get nervous by watching this and imagine under how much pressure he was that day 😂 huge respect!
Abel went to my school today for career day and it was awesome, he told us his life story and how he got to were he is now and it was really inspiring, he is an amazing person and deserves everything he has, god bless him

Homie absolutely killed it!

Bro, you're awesome.
Thats one badass drum tech 🔥🔥🔥🤘
Man this is awsome , for me ray is in the top class of drummer and you rock that shit out . Would love to see you fill for a long time in another band
I love the fist bumps from the boys before he starts... good dudes.
Amazing job !! Great fills great style so fucking good
Amazing Drummer!
Holy shit! Super awesome. I’d have choked lol
He channeled both Ray and David in this song. This dude is amazing
Very solid. 100% accurate....
Damn bruh this video lit af
He respects the original rhythm of the song. Sounds more like David.
Little bit he decided to do the style mixup of ray luzier and david silvera
Yup noticed David's version right away
massive shoes to fill !!! 100% drum tech.
He stepped in and did an outstanding job, he also sounded a lot more like David.
Мощно!
Fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great Job man! Abel was nervous ... hell, I'd be nervous times 3 if I was in his place... he pulled it off great.
This kid had to of been shitting bricks to play with one of the biggest rock bands of the world wow
Wow! You really kick ass bro! Tell me when you guys are here in Germany. Still looking forward meeting you here some day. Regards, Tom
If only David’s tech was a fuckin BOSS like this dude, the Toronto show would’ve gone on
back in the day.
I'm glad for you bro. I'm not a huge fan of the band or anything (I dig the old stuff), but stuff like this is really cool. Kudos!
Awesome Drummer !🤘🥁🤘
I'm 36 now but have been listening to KoRn since their first album came out when I was a freshman in highschool. I still want to get in the pit and fuck shit up when I hear this at 1:37
I'm jealous of this dude
very cool
Nice!!!!!
I now i would have messed this up so badly (even though i know Blind so well).. Pressure and the crowd would have got to me big time .... Dude freaking smashed it ...
The bass sounds so sick
I've never had my ears hurt from a kick drum till I saw Korn live.. their audio engineering is unreal
This guy: Finally, a perfect seat position
Rest of the guys: High fives time
1:39 I would like that kind of entrance!
Most touring drummers and guitar players that are big enough to have a drum tech will choose someone that knows there kit and how to set it up but also will choose a accomplished player that can fill in for them in situations like getting sick or emergency so the show can still go on
Solid
Dude crucified that drum kit!! Spot on perfection
Fucking killed it!! I bet hes heart was jumping out of his chest,,what a RUSH for him ... catfish you did awesome on that..even tho it was years ago, I get nervous for you every time i watch this.
Learn the songs if you're a drum tech and dreams will come true. Great job.
I’d say he helped Ray out a lot, holy shit!
👏
takes some balls to replace Ray like it's nothing, congratulations man, and thank you for doing it like Silveria :) peace
Nice
bad ass drummer
brian and munky are always keeping eye on him but he does pull it off!
reminds me more of David than Ray - which i like.
Yup
Should have had him as the replacement LOL
Well I mean it's a David song...
El tema completo de x si es una esquicites, pero yo siempre espero.el final.
La verdad que lo escuche entero y valio la pena.
El fin
This guy's been playing drums since the age of 3. He might even be a better drummer than Ray but different styles is why people may like Ray better.
The drum set up of this man very different,
I'm guessing he's probably played that a time or 2. Judging by that flawless performance.
Wow. I would’ve thrown up. Dave’s shoes are hard to fill.
fucking dudes a beast
Way to step up Abe. Must have been when Ray's baby was on the way. I'm sure the first tune was scary. I would have been a nervous wreck. Damn , that had to be one hell of a rush .
Amazing sound! Wich cymbals are you using there Abel? Specially hi hat and crashes only
Good job! But man he looks nervous, looks like he's forcing himself not to look at that huge crowd,
ofcourse dude..i would shit myself too..
All in all. For being thrown into that dude killed it
pse hunter even Josh Stephen who knows the songs as the CD would be nervous with that responsability
Nah he's so used to it
Most drummers don't like being watched..
Awesome! Did he have to fill in for the whole show?
ASU!
While I do agree that Abel is a great drummer (you can find more stuff on him online) if you watch closely, you can tell he is "drumming" to a pre-recorded drum track for the songs.

No disrespect to Ray but I dig this guy’s groove way better. He has a David Silveria style which is a lot more suitable for Korn.
Abel :playing with a 24 inch base drum and with 28 inch balls!!!!....big shoes to fill, great job....guess Abel is able.....
The guy did a very good job, however this is where you see the high class of Ray :P
