    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.

    Ray is one of the most sweet, humble, and funny musicians you could ever hope to meet. Met him when he was in Army of Anyone, pre-show, and he spent 15 minutes with us signing albums, talking, and doing his DLR impersonations. Awesome guy.

    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 UA-cam. 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 UA-cam.
