This dude looks like he's having so much fun while playing. The stick flip thing doesn't really even seem cocky he's just having fun with it and enjoying himself.
Cool
Hes having fun thats what its all about and thats where great music comes from
Id be so anxious to do the flip
Stewart Ross absolutly
@@TronciM yes! I been playin the drums for 15 years and can play pretty good and can flip the sticks like crazy, but can't put the 2 together. Especially during a show. Lol
2:47 THAT WAS SMOOTH AF
Right!!
I saw that and learned to do it and I must say it's satisfying as hell lmao
Tre Cool had a baby with the Penguin
Ahduehahahsha fuck right on spot ahshshh
Haha ah hahaha this made me fucking laugh
¡JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA!
Lul
A badass penguin 👌
Drummers are probably the most talented people on the planet. I can't believe the level of coordination and timing. I can barely get my socks on.
Congratulations, you’ve made every drummer on the planet feel confident in themselves.
@@kitsune630 you couldn’t be more right, gave me a confidence boost lmao
@@kitsune630 yep it gave me a confidence boost
except for Lars Ulrich off course.
I'm a drummer and I can barely get my socks on.
His ability to control the intensity of the song is incredible. He flows in an out of his parts so well. He's never overbearing or boring. Truly a master of his craft.
INDEED!!!
Yes!
you said it best! this level of awareness and mastery is actually next level but it SEEMS easy because he makes it look so. it's almost as if it's played by instinct.
Agreed
How does he know which drum to hit? It’s mesmerizing.
Holy shit, why have i heard this song a million times but never realized how sick the drums are??
Same
I don't think the og recording is cool as the way Ray plays it, in my opinion
Thomas Trotter it's about the same as the OG it's just lost in the studio mix. All that cool tom work is comprised all to hell, especially on MP3.
@@onnayoung7699 oh gotcha, that makes sense
@@onnayoung7699 Studio mix is perfect on this album, a bit saturated at some points, but nothing gets left behind if you are playing it in a proper kit. The problem here is that in my opinion, Luzier's only minus is the fact that he loves to overplay, and he does overplay this version over the Silvera one, which is fine, but I still think that sometimes less is more, and the original song already has enough groove and fills. my 2 cents
His fluidity is mind blowing.
Can't get enough of this performance. Ray is so talented and fun to watch.
Haha Ray is having a fun time.
Jon: 'kick it Ray!'
*instantly looks bored*
ray: *kicks it*
come on billie
He is like a kid in his playhouse who hates to be disturbed. Lol!
Thats a good way to describe it
No one tells ray what to do
one things for sure..he's not a lazy drummer
No drummer is ever a lazy musician!!!
Michael Williamson haha lars ulrich
acul122 it’s true, Lars actually admitted he cba with technique
Dylan Rada Lars ain’t lazy. He’s just bad.
@@dylanrada1620 Lars isn't lazy either, stop running with the sheep. Lars is perfect for metallica.
He’s got the best seat in the house.... and most of all he’s the happiest guy there
Ray Luzier's dynamic and powerful drumming on "Freak On A Leash" added an essential element to the iconic song, driving the infectious rhythm that is still widely recognized and celebrated today. Salute to the incredible Ray Luzier, a true master of the drums and an inspiration to musicians everywhere!
say what you want about Ray .... but imagine being a fan of Korn for years then all of a sudden your thrust into the spotlight with them , not only performing their previous hits but adding to their current ones. imagine the amount of pressure it takes to perform in a band that the fans want to to see the original lineup of a drummer you replaced , that's still touring since the very birth of numetal , and yet you go out there every single night and work your ass off to deliver for those very same people and make them fans of your own..... call me crazy , but even though David did a great job for Korn while he was with them and his original groove will always be missed ... I think Ray does an awesome fucking job of filling that roll and you can tell he loves it and is so proud to be a part of it as any of us would be to even be involved with this band so many years later and have the passion that they have on stage every night.
Amen
Ray is way better than original drummer and fits Korn like a Kob!
Same with slipknot
Thought you were talking about Jay Weinberg for a second
@@bend5911 Ray is overqualified for this job.
I never gave this guy enough credit, his drum parts are sick
+CStedronsky he's unbelievable, check out his tutorial video, he's way better than you can see in Korn/
pietzsche you should link the video yo
He really does this song justice. David Silveria's original part is extremely technical and he covers almost every nuance.
This isn't his part, it's David's. The parts that Ray writes are much less groovy and more metal-esque. He does a fine job covering David's material though.
He looks like a woman but plays like a God :-)
The rhythm section of Korn is the main reason they made it big IMO.
true story. you never see anyone doing korn air guitar. always drums
@@paullacroix6541
I always did Air Fieldy.
All Korn is the "rhythm" section
Agree. David and Fieldy sounded so cool and different back in the day.
That's true for the vast majority of bands. Drummers are the very backbone of the band. Not to discredit any of the other instruments.
You know when someone’s a top drummer. Purely relaxed and at ease, makes it look so easy and effortless
uncle fester has got mad skills
Tom's Sister Best comment ever
Tom's Sister lmfao you know how to make a man cry tears of laughter!!!!!
uncle fester lol , thinking the same thing from Panama
Max Power man I can't stop laughthing.dude does look much like uncle fester.lol
...man he doesn't look good anymore...I've watched his drumming instruction DVD and he was SOO much slimmer. He got really heavy. Insanely talented drummer still.
Ray blends simple and intricate so well. He doesn't go overboard but nails it.
He wants to go 100% overboard but he knows what production is all about and keeps it G!
Sol D he's got amazing grooves and its a signature in korn songs
LOL
He got all his flashy style of playing from the David Lee Roth band
This is what I exactly want to say.
Groove, technique , chops and power,.. also showmanship
Holy f*** that is some intense drumming, Korn has never been my cup of tea but Ray is insane .
@hawtchick69 "get a life lol." Says the one insulting people on the internet.
@@MostlyLost I agree with 99% on that one I said to a guy once and he kicked my ass😂
@hawtchick69 lol get a fuckin life for Christ's sake
Guess you haven't seen the Danny Carey video here......this is intermediate at best, compared to that.
@@Toolmybass I know of Danny Carey of tool and infact tool is one of my favorite bands , but that does not mean I can't give credit where it is do :)
Ray is such a champ. He's a born drummer and it shows when he plays. When character and talent collide
i love when he brings the beat back in at 1:54
So do i bro.l watch it so many times.coz i love it
Just ripped it. So awesome
He looks like Uncle Fester.
Hahahaha
Haha! I knew *someone* had to have commented this. He totally does.
Lmfao.
So true
LOL!!!!! I said "Tre cool had a baby with the penguin" but this ... this is gold 😆😆😆
Honestly it's not the drum part that's insane, it's his energy and the way he plays this very simple song, in order to play this song you only really need like 4 toms and a ride, hats, and 2 crashes, but this dude take like a million cymbals and 6 toms and performs it better than the old drummer ever could, he's just absolutely on another level
2:48 kick it, Ray.
Boom dap, da hm~ nam nameba!
Not a big Korn fan, but I gotta give this drum cam performance the thumbs up. Creative and lots of presence, plus the stick toss at the end was honestly impressive.
Seriously one of the most original and fluent drummers today. Nothing but respect for this dude since day one.
Matt Garstka
@@rdd29 What about him? lol he's immaculate
This is a cover. DOH
@@someparts How is it when ray literally puts his own take on the song? Hence the original part... DOH
@Goob TV I can tell if you’re saying it’s not a good cover coz if you are the. F u
I can’t believe how cool this is lmao
Some of the tightest live drumming I've seen in a while, and you can tell he fucking loves being behind that kit
I love it how ray just starts the new groove in 2:51
Korn has always had great drummers ... I'd say Ray is the best of 'em. When they get in a groove ... Korn is lethal!
Ray's energy and precision adds EVERYTHING to this.
Without words.....Ray is fantastic and his style is very very interesting.....long life Ray...happiness
Over 20 years later the drop in the song still makes me go crazy! Hell yeah!
I've watched this at least a hundred times. Ray Luzier is phenomenal.
One of the best drummers in Music right now. I love how happy he is when he is on that stage. Seen Korn live 12 times now and also saw Ray and Jonathan live on Jonathans Labyrinth tour and he is always unbelievable. Great Stuff!
This video never ceases to make me smile. Brilliant drumming, and makes he makes it look effortless.
it's so awesome to watch a drummer who truly enjoys what he does.
Ray is way better drummer. Return to Korn during this quarantine, i was blown away by Ray. Listening Korn almost every day since then.
Ray has stepped up his stick tricks game! I guess a stadium rock gig will do that.
I will never grow tired of watching Ray play the drums. Every time is amazing.
Ray : walk toward to drum
Cymbal : please sir i have kid
😹😹
Azmeer Isa lol
Hahahaha thats uh.. original Lol.
“ill rape him too”
lol
It's crazy that Ray has been a part of KoRn for just as long as David now
I'm not even a Korn fan, I just love and admire his effort, timing, endurance. The man is just busy but compliments the band. From David Lee Roth to Korn. The guy was being under utilised.
Ray is amazing, no debate necessary. But this is still like watching someone forge a brilliant copy of a timeless masterpiece. Dave's ghost is all over this. Props to both excellent drummers.
The way Ray flicks the drumsticks is so satisfying
Never been a Korn fan but this guy is fucking great. Always fun to watch him.
what a pleasure for Korn to have Ray !
He feels every single beat.
Thanks Ray for this awesome drumming !
Ray is SO creative & passionate in all of his bands, what a groove! Please post the full version of GunFight from KXM!
+Rick Miser We will! Stay tuned :-)
yea man... even his playing in army of anyone was insane! true professional
Creative? He didn't write this song, he's covering the original korn drummer. A decent drummer but a bit cliche.
Eric Burrington He took the original drum parts that David wrote, and made them better by adding his own style and his own fills. He plays it exactly like this every show. If you've heard David live, he plays it so linear. Ray plays it like how it is on the album. He includes the snare rolls like it should. David just single notes the snare and quite frankly that ruins the song in my opinion by being lazy with your own music.
@@ericburrington2638 na we all know he wasn’t in on the writing but he did rebuild the drum part and just owns it.
Ray is the most fun drummer to watch just effortless lover of his craft man love this dude
He's playing with great precision while looking so superbly calm, smooth and relaxed. Great video.
never dissapointed when I watch Ray drum.
He effortlessly adds his own style to the performance without detracting from the song. All these little flourishes here and there. Outstanding.
One of the most creative drummers, dirty beats and accurate, it's nice to listen and watch him... 🥁
he's so fun to watch and he enjoys himself too! what a guy
- My friend Ray Luzier, you've got an awesome facepaint job, what do you think?
- I like drums
dancing that kit like no other!
This video single-handedly made him my favorite drummer
this dude is born to play the drums
and he found purpose his life beautiful
Ray Luzier is one of the most creative drummers I know.
I can listen to that 24 Hours a Day.
saw Korn live a few years ago, and Ray's performance alone was absolutely incredible. Dude's an awesome drummer AND a visual perfomer
Not only is he an amazing drummer, he looks exactly like what you would expect for a korn drummer.
no
love this bloke. so unassuming. great skills🤟
Good Lord. Mechanics, power, flair. Ray is amazing.
Dave created this masterpiece. In Dave's absence, in my opinion, Ray has done a fine job of not only making the song sound awesome live, but making it his own.
Every time I watch Ray all I can ever think is "this dude is still really appreciative about being in KoRn" lol
The man gives it his all, all the time
Ray makes it look easy. He's a master of his craft. It's inspiring to watch
3:31 pure gold timing
Can we just agree that this is simply amazing 👍🏻you can really see how he is enjoying the music
Omg, why am I seeing this now. Maybe cause I seen em live twice with Ray in Las Vegas! The BEST ROCK BAND IN HISTORY!
Rays work in army of anyone and KXM is outstanding
It’s always such a pleasure watching Ray play. This dude just has complete control of that whole kit.
Such a monster in the Drums!!! Ray is brutal
a pleasure to see this guy play the drums, amazing
Omg, Ray is ... no words to explain!
Absolute "MAD MAN", Excellent drummer!
I'm not gonna rag on Ray at all, he's a great drummer with great skills and showmanship he's an animal for sure!!! With that being said I prefer and totally miss Silveria with these cats behind the skins. He brought that unique power and groove to what they are now. The first few korn albums up to untouchables were the better albums imo. Congrats to Ray for doing his thang with the band. great video.
I am blown away by the amount of coordination a drummer has! Look at that drum set! What a talented entertainer. I can barely walk on two feet without tripping over myself. Jeez.
Well that was fun as hell to watch. Day yam.
This guy is insane and awesome
Absolutely an amazing drummer. That being said David was the “groove” behind Korn. It’s almost as if Ray is too good to be in this band, if that makes any sense.
Too slow and too soft for this band
hello there,slow what are talking about man?
Ray is one of the best and most technical drummer out there in the music industry...
@@marie-eveblais6731 you heard me.
hello there , well you certainly don’t know what you’re talking about...
He is playing on the tempo of the song, he has a metronome, the whole band had decide what would be the tempo of the song when they play it live...
Freak on a leash is a slow song so don’t put that on the fault of ray
Were you really expecting that he would play at 200bpm for freak on a leash?😂😂😂
If so you are just someone that is still frustrated after 12 years because David is not there anymore so you’re bitching on Ray to calm that frustration...
@@marie-eveblais6731 not really frustrated about david absense. But their live performance is 'slow' thats all. It is true that he plays in tempo. Maybe the lack of dynamic and the other shit make it sounds less powerful.
Those stick flips especially the one at the end.. you can tell he is just having fun and thats %ucking bada$$
Thanks to ray luzier,he convinced me to go to MI. He was our open house director.
Dudes an awesome drummer
Dude is completely on fire.
Those ghost notes, those fills. I really can't get enough with ray
One of my favorite Guns N' Roses covers of all time and always loved the personality of each drum part. They fit together through the song like separate limbs of the same body with different fabrics and colors on each one.
Nice drumming, but the censoring of all the "fucks" is pretty silly.
+ShoryukenNNN We realize this is part of what Korn does in a live show, but we have to play for all audiences. We certainly don't want to discourage parents from letting their young children subscribe to Vic Firth because we have explict lyrics. Kids need to see great drumming too!
+Vic Firth amazing how the US keeps making a big deal out of swear words in 2016 when reliable studies have shown that nowadays 75% see their first porno online at age 12 and spitting out strong language far above that age.
It's crazy how kids these days are getting in contact with adult media at any time.
I mean everyone loves swear words and instead of censoring them we should try to reduce the amount of "fucks" to situations where they are fitting in.
No offense to you Vic Firth! I am not going mad for you just following US standards ;D
Still, censoring is incredibly stupid and anything but purposive.
Fuck censorship!
Vic Firth shut up already...... if you look in the comment box you will find a fuck in every sentence...
HAH....Funny
He would make a really good joker. Even right down to looking good in a suit, his gestures and motions and facial expressions
he is banging and shaking his head so strong and the in ears dont fall out! wow!
I Love Ray Luzier ❤🔥
Who knew that The Joker could play the drums!?
Hans Olo I know!
01:53
To me, he looks more like Fester from the Addams Family.
Joker? Nah, this is penguin
Looks 100% like Uncle Fester from The Adams Family.
I was bummed when David left but watching ray he’s awesome as a drummer and he has a lot of fun drumming
I literally never realized how sick the drums are in this song!
I think I've seen this 100 times by now and it still amazes me. What a dude
I've never seen a drummer simultaneously look like he's having so much fun whilst also hating every second of what he's doing! :D Fucking sick job though.
gotta say their new drummer absolutely kills it
One of the most bad ass drummers i ever seen... not only he don’t miss a note but puts on a great show!! Thats a complete entertainer.. a true professional!! Much respect ✊🏼
I drum too and its the best workout I've ever had in my life. And I cycle too. Ray is so chill in switching back and forth like that.
