Hi, thanks for stoppin' by.
I've been the new drummer in KORN since October '07. We did a massive overseas world tour last year... 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" is the single, check it out at the top of this page... The video for it is on the left side. Click here
to visit the official Army Of Anyone site.
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: Jonathan Davis and the SFA's, Billy Sheehan (DLR, Mr. Big, Steve Vai), Shenkar (Frank Zappa, Peter Gabriel, Jonathan Davis), The Nixons, Jake
E. Lee (Ozzy, Badlands... my first tour in '94 "Wicked Alliance"),
Hideous Sun Demons, Doug Pinnick (King's X), John 5 (Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie), James LoMenzo
(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), John JD DeServio (BLS), 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

Scott Bush (Dolt, Nixons), Keisuke Nishimoto (HSD Japan, Kelly
Simonz), Jeff Scott Soto (Yngwie, Soul Sirkus), Sean Dailey, Darren
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! I also go out to eat every single day (except when I'm at my parents house)... I love fine dining.
The tune "Mummy" on this page is 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 "Just Another Humanoid" is from Billy Sheehan's third solo CD that I played on "Holy Cow!"... go pick that one up! The "ARMY OF ANYONE compilation" is from one of my favorite bands that I've ever been in . Visit ARMYOFANYONE.com
for more info. The tune "Flys & Ghosts" is part of a side project that I wrote with my dear friend Sean Dailey. Scott Bush is playing guitar and my other Bro, Ricky Wolking, played all the bass on it. I wrote a whole record like this, it's just taking forever to finish!
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!
