On this episode of The SABIAN Podcast, Korn drummer Ray Luzier joins host Chris Stankee to talk about his career, his early years with David Lee Roth and Korn, and the story behind his new signature SABIAN 21” AA MantaRAY.
Ray shares stories from his journey as a SABIAN artist, including lessons from the “School of Roth” and the soundcheck that unexpectedly led to Army of Anyone. He also takes us inside the studio, reflecting on his experiences with legendary producers and the importance of developing a musical voice that feels like your own behind the kit.
Plus, Ray and Chris dive into the evolution of the China cymbal that has lived front and centre on Ray’s setup for decades, and how his pursuit of that signature sound ultimately led to the creation of the 21” AA MantaRAY, developed with the artisans at SABIAN.
From career-defining moments to studio lessons and plenty of laughs along the way, enjoy Ray Luzier on this episode of The SABIAN Podcast.
