Ray is a Master drummer. He's one of the best of our time. I personally loved the David Lee Roth story. "Hey, somebody bring the bongo player to Starbucks, He's dragging." Sounds like something Dave would say to stir Ray up at the time.

It's funny how (as he said) being a good player isn't enough sometimes. Yet him being versatile and skilled is exactly what landed him the job. Even to the degree where the rest of the band felt comfortable to take him on tour without even rehearsing first. Good for him man. Seems like a real humble guy and it's awesome to see people like that making a living off music.

I had seen Korn here in Nashville AR Bridgestone in idk, 06 or so with my buddy Mike and loved it. Saw them again years later, same place and was just mind blown at the drums! Mike is a metal guitar played and I'm an amateur wanna be metal drummer that's obsessed with the instrument. The whole damn show I'm like DUUUUDE they HAVE to have gotten a new drummer! This this is so much more intense than before! Sure as shit... WOW! Ray totally stepped them up several notches! They wrapped up that show with the most killer ending of Blind that I've EVER seen and I can't find them doing it the same anywhere on KZfaq. The whole band surrounded Ray as he crushed it and the strobe lights hitting to every kick hit on the blast beat! Can't believe that was a one and only. I'm gonna find it and put it here on KZfaq.

I saw David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar in 2002. I didn't know Ray Luzier was in the band at the time, but he did on a great job on the DLR Band album. I first saw David Lee Roth in 1988 when Gregg Bissonette was drumming for him. Both are great drummers! The Gregg Bissonette audition story is very entertaining. Worth a watch!

4:40 Ray speaks of this song some 20 years later the exact way I felt about it in 1995 driving around with my little Mitsubishi Eclsipe with a 12" sub in the back and losing my mind about how metal can have that 808 in it. Korn changed metal forever with that album.

So, I feel pretty dumb that I haven't heard of Army Of Anyone. Especially since they came out in 2006. But, it's interviews like these, where I'm watching the guy (Ray), he's giving off great energy and seems cool as shit. His demeanor, his vibe made me go check out his drumming and music. Being yourself is better than any paid advertisement that corporations throw at you, to reel you in.
