    Thank you, Sweetwater. A great presentation from two inspirational musicians. Ray has always come across as very genuine and down to Earth. He’s a fantastic ambassador for Pearl drums and a gun player.
    Of course, Nick is much the same. Such an all round musician. Genuine and great to watch in his presentation.

    A great example of a player who's lightened up for longevity is Steve Smith. You can see how he's gone from a haughtiness to a more relaxed, loose grip style that doesn't require constant bludgeoning.

    • @citydrums7525
      @citydrums7525 3 роки тому +1

      Steve Smith is a drum treasure. I will say though that his powerful earlier Journey style is better for that band than the later jazz style. That's my opinion. Don't be a tortilla...

    This is the difference between an average drummer and excellence. These guys are excellent as I'm sure we can all agree, as at no point did they overplay their parts during this song. Knowing when not to play is key to a solid musical career. Look, listen, learn people follow in their and my foot steps and all will be okay

    @raulfigueroa588 2 роки тому

    Kind of crazy to think but Korn has played with some of the most influential and gifted drummers of the last 25+ years like David Silveria (awesome groove and violent jazz style, powerful), Mike Bordin (talent drummer with great groove), Terry Bozzio (need I say more?!; check out ‘I Will Protect You’; 🤯), Joey Jordinsson (crazy energy, speed and fill monster), and now Ray Luzier (technical master, timing and creative monster). As Ray said, Korn’s style is much more difficult than most people realize. For example, Joey played all of their song quite quickly and didn’t seem to have the rhythm quite down when he filled in. RIP Joey btw.
