Korn<\/a><\/strong>‘s drummer, Ray Luzier<\/strong>, has been keeping the beat for the nu-metal pioneers since 2007, and in a recent interview with Modern Drummer<\/a>‘s <\/em>David Frangioni<\/strong>, he reflected on some of his favorite memories with the band, from crafting chart-topping hits to diving headfirst into dubstep experiments.<\/p>\n “I love doing a new record and I love touring to support that\u2026 Now that I’m a part of the band, writing with them, being on a record, and then going out and playing those songs live. I love the classics.”<\/p>\n While Korn<\/a><\/strong><\/strong> thrives on a collaborating creative approach, Luzier<\/strong> remembered occasional solo gems: “Sometimes\u00a0Jon<\/strong> will bring in a finished idea \u2014 there’s a song,\u00a0‘Never Never’, off of\u00a0The Paradigm Shift<\/em>‘ that was a good single for us. It went to No. 1. And that was completely\u00a0Jonathan<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n “He brought us a song that he wrote, composed it all. And we were, like, ‘Wow, this is catchy. What do we do?’ He said ‘Do whatever you want.’ The drum programming that he put on there was very simple. And I ended up doing a very simplistic part because I didn’t wanna squash the song. It was such a beautifully melodic song. So there’s stuff like that that he brought in,” Luzier<\/strong> recalled.<\/p>\n
