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.
I dont get it what is there 2 rag on?--Ray plays his ass off
People always prefer the original guy, and I always see people say Ray "has no groove", when KXM has some really groovy shit going on.
Ray is my fav drummer out there and lets just say his potential is somewhat... limited in korn.
there is no comparison
Silveria was hardly tight or even that technical...
One of the best but underrated Metal Drummer of this generation.
Agree. I enjoyed his Korn work, but he wasn't the standout element in their music. With KXM I've immediately grown to appreciate his chops.
Kevin Heckeler thats because he has to work around a style Korn already had established before he was part of the band.
no!
Lolj
One of the most over used comments on RUclips
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.
Ehhhh idk about better than they were EVER played..but he does it fairly well
Blasphemy. You're saying he plays David's drum lines better than David did? 😂 No.
@@mkultra8729 ummmmmmmmmmm wwwwwweeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Ray Is a complete drummer, but David had a special style of drumming, it was unique.
Not even close.
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!
I bet that was truly a blessing to have the man himself watching over your instruction.
I’m crazy jealous!
Really?!!? 😮👍🏻
Wow
When was he your instructor? Very cool dude.
@@andydhillon1977 Hi Andy, I went to MI from 1996 to 1997.
Finally a metal drummer who knows how to use his hi hats!
Anup Sastry can use his hi hats
No he can't
+derek motta Does the name Danny Carey ring a bell?
+derek motta He is truly talented, shame his appearance does not really correspond with other Korn members. He doesnt fit amongst them.
+Richard theRedneck Yo, David looked polar opposite any of the other members of Korn either....
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.
it just can't get any tighter than this.
This is tighter than the first night!
freaking awesome = freak on a leash
no soul, just speed
@@jampan137 Lmao get the fuck out you fucking nerd. Ray's got feel for days, his dynamics are extremley deliberate, and he knows how to hang back on the beat. He was never a speed freak so i dont even get where that came from.
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...
Ray Harber I knew that voice sounded familiar!!
Music music, I hear music.
correct Sir
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.
David Lee Roth made him into a showman
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
this is some quality drumming
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.
UltraDrummer! One of my favorites since I first heard Ray!
Wow!
Truly a student of his craft, and he never stops learning....just gets better and better.
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.
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.
1wbrockstar like 4/4 the whole song you mean?
@@sibrenhuijsmans4687 exactly. Danny Carey fanbois are the same, 'omg he only plays in odd times'.
It's just beautiful drumming, that's the only way to describe it. My new hero
3:46 that was beautiful and that bell compression to end it. Fucking love it
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.
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.
I agree 100% One of the best albums I have ever bought. Still listen to everyday it seem. Bands don't come around like that much anymore
Correction.
AOA was: Ray on drums, Richard Patrick on vocals and the Deleo brothers Robert (bass) and Dean (guitar). And they made one of the best rock albums of the last 20 years! And I love that record man!
Great shout, was and is a great album
Go buy this record right now.
Day one fan! Army of Anyone is the shit!
Unbelievable. The creativity that went into this performance. Wow.
this beat is straight FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ray is a animal!!!! this is what turned me on to KXM
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.
Raymond Lee "Ray" Luzier .............PURE TALENT...
In love with this guys' drumming. His style and choices during live performances and such. Hard to believe he's in his forties.
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 don't know how many times I've watched this but I absolutely love the playing Ray. He's in my top 5 drummers.
Great drumming, His hand motions are flawless, An A+ Drummer!!!
Was that a 3 tap hand mute on the ride! (3:55) -SICK-
Eddie Chris wtf was that? 😂
(Serious question, I'm a beginner drummer)
Look like he tapped the ride symbol three times at (3:55)... Creating a "muting" effect!
pinggg.....bow....wow...wow...wow......
Eddie Chris it's a phase effect by cupping the the hand over the bell of the ride and moving your hand back and forth. pretty slick how he snuck that in there with so little time to execute it.
It literally looked like he was karate chopping his ride or something. Made me laugh the first time I saw it. But it sounds awesome when you turn up the volume to hear it
Loving this track and Rays' playing
Ray, Thank You.
I met Ray a few years ago. Very genuine guy, talked drums and went on his way. Definitely one of our better percussionist today!
ray may be my new favorite drummer..so tight and I just love his creativity
addrfcsfvsxxdcst sg I bhh
Thankyou Ray. Thankyou KXM. Great Stuff & Thankyou Vic Firth. 🌟💘🌞
Holy crap! That was incredible. The way Ray and George closed the tune blew me away.
I went into that one with low expectations. Damn, that was freaking incredible.
That's incredible, ray you the man
Musicians like this is what really makes a band shine.
his use of cymbals is just BEAUTIFUL!!!
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!
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
Ray is one of my all time favorite drummers. So good! I love this song too.
I had no idea he had this kind of skill, proficiency and independence... This dude is a world class drummer.
Still bringing something new and awesome after all these years Ray. Great job.
One of my favourite novadays!!!!
Excellent as always, Ray rocks!
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.
Could you share the link to that video please
Dear lord he's a badass. This whole groove is INSANE
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.
The man is god!!! Absolute beast, best feel in for a drum kit! Love it
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.
NEVER can STOP!!! Listening to kXm \m/
An entirely other level. Ray plays with so much power and discipline, yet so much innovation. True master of the kit.
KXM... what a Dream Team!! Ray is a Beast!!! This All Star Group really showcases how truly talented he is!!!
Mind blown. So creative! Such an inspiration. :)
Mind: blown. Holy shit.
omg! Completely blown away by the composition and the drumm line. Didnt know this band! Sensational.
This Song is Killer!!!! Dude, such a great drumm you made for this is awesome! Just love this!
This one is for you, grooveless metalcore drummers and triggered double bass blastbeaters. Watch and learn
+Nikxaz He has a point, though.
Yes because if you play blast beats you are inferior to the drummer of Korn. please.
+Nikxaz Dude, it doesn't matter what band he's in. He's still better than a majority of modern drummers. Very talented guy.
Outstanding! Ray always lays into it and kills it.
You're my idol Ray! All hail the King
A unique drummer! Love his power, style and passion! Excellent! Inspiring!
I love how his hair transforms from somewhat dry to soaking wet during this 5 minutes-performance :D
Awesome song, awesome drumming!
Man! What a drummer! Always been a fan.
Wow, this is some of his best drumming! I absolutely love to see drummers that continue to improve over the years. Ray has seriously impressed me here.
Man how groovy that ehm... groove is?! I love it!!! Great job Ray
Amazing!!! Ray is a MONSTER power drummer!
YES, HE id cold piece of work...... kick ass drummer!!! much love much love!!!!!

Ray is killing it!!!!
Wow, one of the best out there. lots of muscle memory and coordination.
This was amazing!!! I'm not even into this style of music and I was still so impressed by his performance!!
Me too. This ain't my cup of tea a'tall, but he's kinda undeniable.
First heard of Ray Luzier because of Army of Anyone. He's incredible throughout!
Always fun to watch you play Ray. Good job!
Wow! incredible groove and sounding drums too.
One of the best rock drummers. This is the type of stuff that guys like mj lack in their playing n teaching.
By Mj do you mean mike Johnston?
Absolut crazy!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Wow! Ray, I loved everything about this performance. Everything! Amazing! 🧡💫
Damn... awesome played by Ray!!!
Hell yeah ray is Reppin' the Raider Project
Man KXM really need to stay making records, they are killer together. This is the band Ray belongs in.
This is absolutely awesome.
FANTASTIC
Finally, a metal drummer who knows how to articulate the hi hat.
and not only
You obviously only listen to mainstream metal. Lot's of metal drummers with plenty of articulation and dynamics in their playing.
looks at modern prog metal drummers. Like Matt Halpern
Briar Foley Really? I mostly see him with sloshy hats; where's the subtlety in that?
matt halpern is ridiculous, nothin subtle bout dem V necks doe.
Simply eargasmic! 🤟🤟🤟
And he's knocking on the door of 50 yrs old. Freaking epic.
Korn got Lucky to get ray. Amazing. He would be a perfect fit with apc
That's an amazing play thru that really showcases his skills.
Killing it! Guy is amazing
Love it!!! Total kickass groove with seamless fills. Hats off to Ray on this one.
Looks like the heavy version of KEITH CARLOCK :D :D
Lol...he does!
+1 lol ^^
Lorenz Müller totally man
lmfao
