KORN Drummer Talks Gear In New Video Interview

July 13, 2010

Harmony Central conducted an interview with KORN drummer Ray Luzier about the gear that he is using on the band's current tour. Watch the chat below.

KORN performed an 80-minute concert inside a crop circle during a special North American broadcast on Sunday (July 11) on HDNet. The event premiered online around the world the following day (Monday, July 12). The crop circle was featured in a series of viral videos posted online by the band and the concert is said to be inspired by the eerie atmosphere of PINK FLOYD's legendary "Live At Pompei" gig.

Singer Jonathan Davis said in a statement, "The setting and the mood took us into a totally new direction musically. We took the opportunity to stretch out and experiment with the performance. I don't think we'll ever be the same."

KORN shot the viral videos in a wheat field near the band's native Bakersfield, California.

Davis said in a statement that the fields, where the band members used to play as kids, get "pretty spooky" at night. He added, "That's where we got the inspiration for the whole thing, so we decided to have some fun with the viral videos."

The group worked with U.K. based CircleMakers.org on the circle's design. It features a series of intricate circles, one of which includes the KORN logo, and stretches over 920 feet long and 350 feet wide.

The concert promoted the arrival of KORN's ninth album, "Korn III - Remember Who You Are", which comes out today (Tuesday, July 13).

The band also kicked off the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival on Saturday (July 10) in San Bernardino, California with co-headliner ROB ZOMBIE. Davis told The Pulse of Radio that KORN's stage show on the trek won't include anything like a crop circle. "I think we're gonna do something cool but minimal," he said. "I mean, I know Rob's gonna do something grand and it's not like we need that kind of stuff. It's more about, for us it's about — we got the music to back it up and everything going on. So I think it's gonna be something really cool, but not too over the top."
