33 to be exact

Dylan Stoner that’s right, he learned 33 and was asked to learn 4 not 5 xD haha the fun fact was more fun than a fact it seems 😂 i’m a huge fan of ray

@@CoteSaldias what other bands did he perform in?

@Ari Awan thanks man i didn't know that..

33 to be exact hahaha

Imagine his reaction. "Holy shit, I'm in!"

Ray : “congratulations Korn, I’m your drummer”

agree. its like its his last day to play drums... one hell of a talent.

It’s really about energy, it’s hard to distinguish talent at that level, but you can distinguish energy. This guy has it.

Any musicians have that blast in them that make them feel like it’s the last day to live so fuck it type of feeling you start to surprise your own self.

Hey does your dad have his contact info

TheAudiAutopsy He was asked to learn 5 songs for the audition, but he learned 30.

He doesn't have Rays but he has Rays sisters #. My stepdad told me they would steal liquor off bikers and have parties in barns lol. My aunt is still friends with his sister

No idea if you're still on here, but thats fricken awesome! Ray is a hardcore beast, but also a good dude. Much respect. I envy you for even having the bragging rights of knowing someone who knows his sister haha. I am super happy its Ray, I feel like he is helping keep Korn alive, and the day Korn no longer exists, my heart will break.

Your dad is a lucky guy! ahahahah

LMFAO!

OMG that's great and on point! 😆😆

Hahahahahahaa

Sic Drumming

Daaaaamn 💀

Who's Phildy? Dr. Phil joined and I didn't even know it!?

Justin Erra Fieldy,that is..

A student of his you mean? That's dope

you're right !! he is really great

David AND the original 5? Only Ray is different compared to the 1993 line up of the band

I think David had a really unusual and interesting approach to rock drumming but Ray is a monster all around drummer. Also had the reputation for being a really nice guy and for a big band like Korn when they are touring you need easy going personalities on the road.

i think the rest of the band would also agree w you :)

never, David will always be Korn's drummer. His style suits the band more.

Agreed.saw that.very cool.

No

@@erichargrove2287 he does

Never. He doesn't fit in Korn. It was a big mistake.

@@metalerowilliamxxx no replacing Dave.

True

Hell yeah, very humble dude. He was the first one to come out and greet the fans after the show around back near the tour buses, very cool man.

Thought KoRn been around for 17 years!

Deepak Gurung The first Korn album came out October of 1994... 20 years, baby! ;)

Nikki C yea and David is fucking huge now

Nikki C - Ray told me how reassuring it was to him when you said that about not having it any other way.

You can hear it in his voice when he said "I was pushing it man" that he used up a good amount of energy for sure lol

He might be better technically and musically but the Korn guys spawned a whole new genre and wrote countless of unforgettable songs.

Most talented in the band? Lol. Do you know how many great riffs these guys have written over the years? Lol. Go somewhere else fool

What a dumb comment. The original korn literally changed rock and roll trajectory for eternity.

That’s absurd

Look at all the butt-hurt. Music is subjective gentleman. Didn't knock their song crafting skills, or status. Just said he was the most talented musician in the band. Have a wonderful life. It's peachy folks. 🍑

Evolved? You mean garbage

+Scott Benedict don't be a crybaby because KoRn went with Ray and not the original. the original drummer was the biggest douche and without Ray KoRn wouldn't be here today

+Hunter Friday Korn died when Untitled came out, it's sad but true, if you listen to there old music and compare it there new albums, it doesn't appeal to their old fans, and I'm a die hard Old fan, everything after See You On The Other Side is trash.

+Hunter Friday Also, say Silveria was a douche? He said everything after Feildy wrote lies in his book, and was rather upset that Korn let head back in the band. You sir are a idiotic dubstep metal fan. Fuckin' moron.

+Connor Murphy I couldn't agree more, I stared back in '98 with follow the leader after watching the world premiere for got the life, i went backwards with life is peachy then Korn, issues was the last album I purchased and it just didn't do it for me, 1999+ never listened to korn again

Has nothing to do with who is better bro it's really simple they needed a drummer they auditioned several and he was the one they chose because they felt he was the one ....plain and simply that

+Fred Garvin Not all musicians can write songs.

Musician wise? Definitely. Jonathan just sings and plays a bit of guitar I believe.

Jon made half of issues by himself... lol, thats lyrics,Drums,Guitar..

drummers are NOT musicians

Dunford00 lol what?

imagine watching this in 2024

He deserves it. Hard work pays off.

Benjamin Morgan he takes pride in his craft

+Benjamin Morgan He knows it too that's why a simple "cool man" was given and he didn't get overly excited. He knows he's the fuckin man and if korn wasn't a fit then another band would be.

+Benjamin Morgan He is very good, but overuses the double kick, and doesn't have Silveria's unique groove and innovative beats.

Benjamin Morgan Dumb....

the way things are going now...you're lucky to have a decent drummer.

Untouchables

Serenity of Suffering even better now lol

Rick Miser Please tell me you’re joking.

My body froze when I heard that... OUO

He was ove prepped for the audition, he was only supposed to audition 3 songs instead he learned 30 songs! Insane!!

Larry Taylor Yeah any drummer willing to go to that extent to impress a band as big as Korn is the real deal. It makes a hell of a statement. I'm sure a ton of very talented big names auditioned as well, but Ray Luzier unquestionably blew it out of the water. IMO it's not just what you play, it's HOW you play it, regarding the feel, aggression, attitude, especially with music as hard and heavy Korn, because not everyone is a good match, like Joey from Slipknot, who is extremely skilled, but Korn just isn't the right band for him. Ray is a very serious musician and I respect him immensely as a drummer.

Adam Lambert You're spot on with a lot of your stuff - But Joey being 'extremly skilled' was a laugh imo. Extremly fast, yes (but not anywhere near fastest.. George Kollias or any other in his branch does it faster) Ray would tear shit apart in Slipknot, I do think that the new drummer of Slipknot, Jay Weinberg is a lot more like Ray than Slipknot - It's kind of the same way, imo the both bands made major upgrades to the drums when the former drummer left. This is all my opinion of course :) I find Ray to be among the best drummers I know and one of my biggest inspiration at least :-) Don't get me wrong Joey was the guy that inspired me to learn double bass, Before I forget was the first song I played with double bass, but after like 5 years of passionate drumming, you get to a point where u see through all the extremely fast single strokes.. It's always RLRLRLRLRLR or RLKKRLKKRLKK or RLRLKKRLRLKKRLRLKKRLRLKK - Nah man, Ray and jay alike, got groove and rythm, and can play to any type of music! (They both alike already have had a good enough career before joining these big bands, I do remind you!) Ray is a friggin beast for sure. Always super tight and has amazing licks and what not. Amazing for sure! That's what discipline does for you, when motivation runs out and it will, the only thing that is left that matters is discipline and dedication. Remember that. Discipline and dedication takes you on world tours and gives u a great career, not 'talent' (So called 'Talent' is a bullshit thing. Any sucessfull person knows there isn't anything worth in ''talent'' only that time is of the essence and should never be wasted. In a drummers case, you practise practise practise, work those rudiments, train those doublestrokes, practise your weakspots. Over and over again. It will certainly not be fun at all times. But sucessfull people knows this and keep doing what they do. This went far deeper than I ever imagined in the first place! :) Have a great day all drummers and keep the good practice up!

robin dahlström And there goes Ray Luzier himself and likes my comment.. Nearly shat my pants just now..

David was Korn

I think David was a racist.

shallowcoder1 ...what even....
