Simple, nice, grateful guy! 🙃 And an amazing drummer!!! ✌
He is an all around humble dude ... KoRn is so lucky to have him ...
True that Ray is amazing like you can only respect him but will always appreciate what David did but show must go on
I like him, but I still love David silveria
I agree with you. He's super talented too. I love the fact that he respects the opportunity that he has seized.
Jesse Walters everyone in korn is very humble
Ran into him at Disney land a few years back. Very humble nice guy. True artist
This was probably the best and honest "advice" video ever.. Taylor Swift would say " follow your dreams and dreams come true" but that is like listening to a lottery winner telling you to keep buying tickets.
I'm getting my tickets today again lol
I don’t know you and I’m not assuming you’re a hobo, but that is the most wise hobo advice I’ve ever imagined hearing... 😁🤘🏻

dadygee haha, gotchya. 3 days sober here. 😑

I think most Korn lovers had a hard time warming up to Ray, but I think he's contributed much more to their growth at this point than David ever did. he is a phenomenal drummer and a perfect fit for Korn.
As a day one KoRn fan for shit almost 2Oish years, of course we want to see David. We remember all those years that head left. But Ray is totally right, life will move on with or without you. He is a solid guy. He has my utmost respect. He proved himself. He is Korn now.
I DO NOT want to see David again. He's been a total douchebag to his former band and he deserved to be be replaced. You don't leave your band, stating "their new music is shit", then sue them for no reason, only to ask to get back in when they already have a new drummer to fill your job, and who happens to love the said band much more than you do.
Let's face it : David *hates* this band. He's just an attention whore.
Ray Luzier is an absolute drumming monster. The guy is incredible. He is the type of drummer that could sit in on any gig and make it work. So many drummers nail themselves to one genre from the time the start playing. While Ray is held in high regard from other musicians, he doesn't get enough respect from the 'non-musician' fans. The Ray-David debate should have died the minute Ray played his first show with Korn over a decade ago. They don't understand how good Ray truly is. There is no debate...Roar. It angers me. i first found Ray when he was playing with David Lee Roth and have been a fan, following him, ever since.
Michael R. He is not going to let you blow him, sorry bro!
@@themanthemyththelegend1392 is that the best you've got? Guy above made an excellent point. Take it easy.
6 String Terror that was pretty harsh dude
@@themanthemyththelegend1392 Coming from the fat manchild that blows himself
Fantastic points man Ray is an extremely MUSICAL drummer, one of the most musical as far as metal drummers go.
Damn... I'll say this forever... I miss and love David playing so much...but we are EXTREMELY lucky to have Ray...man...🙏🤘🤙
Ray seems like a really humble and honest guy. I had never heard of him until he joined Korn but honestly, his way of playing is definitely the best thing that could have ever happened to Korn musically. They're writing songs now that they never would've been able to write with David drumming for them.
Yeah,they really suck for the last 15 years
8:24 - “I don’t have anything more on my kit than I need” .... except that one kinda big dummy kick drum. Ray is a beast!
But that dummy bass drums was Jonathan's idea
David Lee Roth “where’s the other bass drum? It doesn’t look tough enough get one!” 8 years of touring with Roth would be a hard habit to break.
Honestly I went to yough school district and my vice principal was Mrs luzier. And she told me her son had joined in a band and I believe she told me he was with system of a down and then told me about Korn during a hard time when I was being bullied at the school and I was in music for drums cause I loved drums. And she told me to focus on that. Unfortunately nothing ever came from it but it feels awesome to be that close to know the mother of Ray luzier and would have been cool to have the luck he had like he said himself, You can't just do it and it happens. Keep on drumming Ray! I'm glad I atleast got to meet your mother (my vice principal) as a middle school student!
I love these videos! Ray is just phenomenal. Nice dude for sure
He is a really Nice dude! We are so glad that you enjoy our work. Thanks a lot for tuning in !
first i noticed his astounding drumming then, what a great guy he is.. hard to find the words!
Ray Luzier.... monstrous rock drummer, super down to earth dude. The perfect package
I think we all feel this way in a sense, like Korn and Slipknot, a new guy takes over drums, and they have to prove themselves because we are so used to the members of the band. Ray has proved himself 10 fold, great guy, excellent drummer, a pleasure to listen to!
Ray is from my town and when we heard korn the first time our mouths hit the floor i understand his shock im glad he now is living his dream he deserves it!
God bless you Abel. You're an amazing tech man. Wow. So loyal, dedicated, inventive and brilliant. Thank you man. Ray couldn't play as he does live on that animal without you.
Knowing that human beings such as Ray who are so connected with mother earth are doing things they love and sharing them with us. So glad to see Korn still doing it's thing... first Korn show, 1998 Tsongas Arena - Lowell, MA
I was there it also was the first concert at the Tsongas arena!!!
This guy plays with his heart and soul,one of my favorites 👍💯 mad respect.
Ray is an amazing drummer one of my favorites for sure
agreed
DRUMMERS DIARY I’ve seen a lot of interviews and clips from drum clinics and this was pretty in depth thanks for making this
You are very welcome! Thanks for enjoying it!
David was the reason i started playing drums, but Ray is a gift that kept the band alive and i think he does above and beyond for the music it awesome!
Very vulnerable. Very honest. So much respect.
Humility, hard work, humble, of one mind...he gets it.
Awesome watch this, Ray is an amazing guy and talented Drummer. His style is so unique.
One of my favorite drummers!
Feels like yesterday i was watching his Korn audition video for the 30th time. It's been 11 years already!! Just wow
Ray has to be the most humble and honest man I have ever heard talk. Wow. Many more Korn years to you Ray
This guy knows the way it is!!! Period
"Ray is a true warrior and all heart! (:
I really enjoy Ray...as a drummer and as an individual.
It's fact that Ray helped to be "that guy", who showed the "Korn guys", another way of doing things...
We all understand what Korn is about...and Ray just helped to mature those guys, into the great men and musician they have become.
For whatever it's worth...without ever trying to do so...Ray helped them in more ways than just dropping the beat for them.
The day "in and out" of being around "positive, no-frills personalities" becomes more of a factor...it's a subconscious thing.
Also, something that is often rare in this line of work...
Ray, is an honest, humble guy, and understands he is very lucky to be in the position he is in.
I have to agree that if you want your shot at whatever it is you want out of life. Taking "no" for an answer just won't cut it.
Feeling less of human when the world turns on you, laughs you up and down and tosses you aside... for no reason at all....accept to do it...
is something you cannot cower from.
In your life, many will be waiting to knock you from the horse, and all they want is to take your fire....remain the course...stay up on the horse.
Be nice!!!
...nice get's you through the door and keep's you inside the door.
Be honest...lies are the worst thing to ever be caught in...if you are honest there's always the next day.
"Liars" are not called back.
Practice your craft hard and daily. Do not fool yourself that you have learned it all...bc the fact is there is always someone better than you. And chances are he want's your job also!!
Most of all...as much as I hate to admit it...look the part.
Create "yourself" as honest as you "see yourself".
Portray only yourself...and never be something that your not!
Last but never least....know what you are getting into. Life as a musician is hard and not what you would think.
It's lot's of hurry up and wait types of shit....and the real reward is simply playing at the end of the day.
If you make some cash...it's a plus...but for the reality of things....we pay or dues in buses that fall apart every night.No heat, no air...food is last on the list so if you make enough to eat that day...be thankful.
It's a huge party.....sure!! But the times of alone time you do get....realty is alive and well in your mind and it's not the lavish lifestyle you would think.
You don't see family and the friends ...that "girlfriend" is not waiting on you to become "Mr. Rockstar"....she's back home fucking the next guy, "who is there, paying her attention"!
...so don't fool yourself and piss on your mates or those who do actually stand by you!
Now it can be all you ever dreamed it to be.....but this is were luck and hard work really plays the part.
It has to become your job.
It must be that way...or the road will eat you alive.
Just make sure when you are asking these things in the middle of the night.... you're sure what you're asking for.
Life will make more sense and seem to go a lot easier for ya if you just evaluate all the facts NOW!
Good Luck Drummers and lifers!!! Rock on! O-
Good shit dude.
What a guy, and what a drummer!. Great video
oh wow phenomenal sound and talent love it
#1 in my book!!! Ray you are a beast. Thx for your hard work.
Such an amazing & influential drummer
This is the most truthful thing ever.. This guy is amazing. Couldn't have explained it better. Well done sir.. Respect 🌽💯
I am amazed to hear a musician talk that wisely
One of my favorite drummers. Guys incredible.
Always been a Korn fan and have always had open arms for Ray. Definitely my fave drummer. 🥁🥁🥁🥁
Thanks Ray, you brought the band back to life... the band brother!! Respect!
Ray is The Man! A Drummer's Drummer! 💥💥💥
I agree 100%! Ray is in the top 5 best drummers in the rock category. Heck, he's even top 3 on my all-time list,
loved the last 2 albums, especially drum-wise
We love you Ray!
He is a very humble guy it's refreshing to see that cuz so many in the music industry are so jaded anymore. It's great to hear there are some who are still down to earth. Keep on rocking hard Ray!!
One of my newly favorite drummers
the in depth speech is good very clear dude.
i had to stop around the 4:30 mark and say how nice it was to hear Ray speak of "there is no best" and he is absolutely spot on. Ive learned and borrowed form all the walks of music and became such a better musician once i veiwed it like he said.."No Best"..i love that..removes all forms of competition. And thats what its all about.. Sharing. Recycling..im sorry im done now..lol..Ray?.. you are setting a wonderful example..keep up the great job!
This is a VERY unique video! Amazing to see something like this,, a drummer's perspective. Well done, well done. And I really love Ray's style and what he brings to Korn! Superb.
Greatest drummer interview I’ve ever seen. ✊🏼
Man, that drum kit it seems like a time machine. ..also the band. Thank you Korn.
Seems very humble, positive, down to earth
5 years that fan hated Luzier but now he loves him and got tattooed on his arm! what a loyal fan!
What a humble amazing talent. Wow
I am totally thankful for this short documentary!
One Of my favourite drummer players of all times...greetings from KK Sabah,Malaysia🇲🇾🤘🏼👊🇲🇾🤘🏼🤘🏼
Much Respect to Ray!!!!! Great video!
Gold. Thank you for making this. The drumming community needs content that is this high quality. Cant wait for the next one 👌
YAY!!!! More videos with Abel!!!
Such an inspiration!!! 🤘
Amazing 😉! Master Craftsmen werking their master craft for our ears, and souls!! 👁❤️🌽
Ray such a beast!! So nice n humble!!
Amazing video. Thank you.
Chriswas you are welcome. Thank you for watching it!
I am convinced while I love David's technical skillset, I am humbled by Ray's personality. I've been lucky enough to meet them after the shows up here in Chicago.. I am always impressed and blessed to meet such wonderful people. I remember during family values tour David wouldn't even shake my hand but there was hundreds there at the time too, he just seemed more cocky. Ray has always seemed more down to earth. I'll take that any day. I am sure he's also easier to work with in the studio too.
Interesting stuff to see! Like it ! And the kit he's playing is awesome! Respect to the drum tech!!!
Very interesting clip. This drummer is very inspiring. Dedicated, talented, passionate, creative. Total package.
Really humble guy doesn't think he's better then anyone.
Great Video! Keep Rocking Ray!!!
Awesome video love seeing about Ray behind the scenes thank you Drummers Diary keep on Rockin 😎🤘
You are so welcome! ✌🏻
Man I love ray he is a great drummer and really down to earth
Had the pleasure of meeting Ray at a show here and he was awesome. Wanted to know what I thought about the K3 record at the time and it was incredible to see that he truly cared what the fans had to say. Korn for life!
What a cool mini-documentary of one of the coolest drummers! :) Also including the drum tech was super cool idea! :) Thank you!
I love this guy!!!!! That's the way a rock drummer should play always!!
7:15 "...back then, like I said, this was an 'Untouchable', gig for me..."
I see what you did there ;)
Incredible video! Ray is the best and KoRn too ! LOVE LOVE LOVE !
So glad that you like it! Thx
Thanks for throwing me a drumstick at the end 💙 it
Love ur drumming ray keep it up
Much respect,🤘🤘
Very cool video.. great dudes..
Nice drum setup, grats to the tech!
the best drummers vid in my life. thanks. To Ray speechless... learning from you
You may not have intended to be the best Ray but you are 💯 lovely guy. Thanks for taking the time to speak to me yesterday
Fantastic video! Keep up the great work.
Dean from Nashville.
Ray is such an inspiration to me and is such a humble guy! I hope one day I'm where's he's at, playing drums till the day I die🤘🏻🥁
great inspiration!!!!!
Such a humble man, I guess that's the Luzier in us, humbleness
Ray's drumming was phenomenal on Army of Anyone. Check out the song goodbye.
Ray has been my favorite since I saw him with Roth in like 2000. The guys is incredible. definitely top five rock drummers in the world. Made me like korn again. The guy can do anything
Ray, I meet u namm 2018 u watched my 11 year old on a kit and had nothing but great things to say. Rock on brother.
Was that Ray playing the outro drum track at the end of this video? That sounded incredible.
This is the best way to describe what it takes to be a good musician. Feel is more important than experience or talent by a long shot.
I've met Ray twice now. the second time was at Carolina Rebellion in the crowd, watching Def Leppard. one of the most humble, nicest dudes in the music industry. He's the man
Great Job!!!!
🙏thx
Honor to see Ray in Va Beach 3 weeks ago...Korn after 25 years delivered an incredible performance. Ray threw out a lots of sticks, which is so cool. Really wanted one, I was up front in the pit, dream come true after being a Korn fan since their beginning.
This video is gold, thank you for making this! Very talented drummer.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching
I think KORN + Ray Luzier has become something WIDER... something INCREDIBLE! terrific.
I can't wait for the 3rd KXM album to reach my ears...the anticipation!
This video is one of the best drummer interviews I’ve ever seen. Great work! Ray’s a badass
Jonathan Lewchenko thank you so much. This means us a lot! Check out also our other videos ✌🏻
what a great guy. so much sympathy for him
So humble but you are the best ray!
Ray is soooo talented! Way too good for Korn. Don't get me wrong, I've purchased every album from the band and been a fan since day one, but I'd like to see Ray move on. Obviously it's a great paying gig and something he enjoys but I think the future will bring him something even bigger. His talent and likeability will take him further. I don't think there's a better rock drummer out there period, but his skills also reach beyond rock. KXM is brilliant! That band should be colossal! Probably not much of a pay day but that band's all about the joy of playing. I was unaware of this channel until Ray's episode. Glad I found this and happy to be onboard!
Jan Patrick Lucas thanks for your comment and glad to have you on board ! 👍🏻
Great to hear from you. Thanks to you as well!
You totally missed the point of Rays interview. Sorry your feelings about Korn is beneath Ray, but like Ray said in the beginning - describes you perfectly!
Jan Patrick Lucas
Ray Luzier...Korn...eyeliner.
Ray is happy and content took awhile but he found his careers calling with Korn and because of that he will retire a very wealthy man meaning mission accomplished what other band could he be playing more powerful badass drums for really that's a tough one to answer especially for the money too he is right where he belongs and because of the money and time he has been in the band now affords him many other opportunities but korn will be his bread and butter till retirement
Amazing drummer!
