Hi, thanks for stoppin' by.
I've been the new drummer in KORN since October '07. We just finished a massive overseas world tour... check out KORN.com for live and behind the scenes video clips from it.
Before KORN, I was the drummer in ARMY OF ANYONE, which features multi-platinum artists
Robert and Dean DeLeo from STONE TEMPLE PILOTS and Richard Patrick from FILTER.
Our debut CD, which we co-produced with Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Jane's Addiction,
Kiss, Alice Cooper), is out now. "Goodbye" and "Father Figure" are the singles, check 'em out at the top of this page... The video for "Goodbye" is on the left side. Click here

I was in the DAVID LEE ROTH Band for 8 years from '97-'05, which was an amazing
experience. We toured the globe 5 times and made 2 cool CDs. Diamond Dave is, by
far, one of the greatest frontmen that ever lived! I've also had the honor to
record, perform and tour with some other great bands and artists in my career,
here's some of my favs: Billy Sheehan (DLR, Mr. Big, Steve Vai), The Nixons, Jake
E. Lee (Ozzy, Badlands... my first tour in '94 "Wicked Alliance"),

(Black Label Society, Megadeth), Rafael Moreira (Pink, Christina
Aguilera), Slash (G 'n R, Velvet Revolver), Seal, Kirk Hammett
(Metallica), Zakk Wylde (Ozzy, BLS), Toshi Hiketa (DLR, Hideous
Sun Demons), Todd Jensen (Alice Cooper, DLR), The Boston Pops
Orchestra, Tracy G (Dio, WWIII), Driven, Zac Maloy, Edgar Winter, Goaded,
Freak Power Ticket, Coma, Wicked Alliance, Matt Kramer (Coma, Saigon
Kick), Medicine Wheel, The Howling Iguanas, Tony Fredianelli (Third Eye
Blind), Toby Knapp (Onward), Arcade (w/ Stephen Pearcy, I toured
with them in '95), Ricky Wolking (Edgewater, Nixons), Brian Young

Housholder, 9.0, various Perfect World Entertainment bands such as Metal Shop,
Boogie Knights, Anthem, Spazmatics and Atomic Doggs. I do a lot of recording
sessions, including stuff for tv and movies and have played over 1700 shows,
played on over 40 CDs, bla bla bla... But enough about me, here's some more
stuff about me...
I have an instructional DVD out in stores now (Guitar Center, Sam Ash, Pro Drum
Shops, etc.) for all you drummers and drummers to be. It has a bunch of lessons
including double bass, warm-ups, drum fills and motion exercises in one DVD with
a companion booklet. It also features Billy Sheehan and Toshi Hiketa in the
performance section. Check out my blog (above) for some reviews of it and my
site for details: RAYLUZIER.com and halleonard.com.
You can also see clips of it below. Sabian, ddrum, DW, Remo and Pro-Mark are
my sponsors for the drum clinics that I do (including NAMM shows, PASIC
conventions and "in stores"), which are posted on my site.
I graduated from the Musicians Institute in Hollyweird, CA in '89 and was a
teacher there at P.I.T. from '92-'01. Check out mi.edu. I grew up on a farm
outside of Pittsburgh, PA in a small town called West Newton and I've been
playing drums since I was 5. I also play a bit of guitar and bass just to write,
have fun and record in my home studio, which is where I spend most of my time,
around touring... I travel a lot and love it!
The tune "Mummy" on this page is from the live performance section of my new
DVD, which we tracked in Japan. It's from my side instrumental band,
Hideous Sun Demons, which I put together with DLR band members James LoMenzo and
Toshi Hiketa. Check out the HSD myspace page for more info and to hear more
tunes : myspace.com/HIDEOUSSUNDEMONS.
The tune "Taj" is from Billy Sheehan's second solo CD that I played on "Cosmic
Troubadour"... go pick that one up! As I said before, "Goodbye" is the first
single from my new band ARMY OF ANYONE. Visit ARMYOFANYONE.com
for updates and upcoming tour dates.
On the left of this profile are some of my favorite records that I played .. on the cover for more info or to buy them.
So as you can see, I completely breathe, eat, sleep and live music... oh, and my
last name's pronounced "Lose-Ear" ;)
See Ray In Action!
