[@ChrisFromTheBlackLagoon]

Raymond Herrera does not get nearly enough credit for all of the unique and amazing drum work he has done. Huge fan

[@BeardManDrummer1999]

Yes, 💯 in my opinion, he's on the same level as Chris Adler.

[@menguongan]

Actually, he is good as Gene Hoglan

[@jamesnagel6264]

I was working a show in Tulsa when Gene Hoglan was playing for Fear Factory and I was about 3 feet away off to the side just watching his feet..... Gene stuttered slightly and came right back in....I turned and looked at my boss and said " He is human. I can sleep at night now." Watching Gene play for an hour at that side of the stage was insane.

[@saltygh0st124]

Demanufacture is such a great album!

[@superpug666]

Did you also like remanifacture?

[@GioOnTheMic]

​@@superpug666 I did!

[@uri413]

That is a great album but I like obsolete more

[@Mark_Swan]

Demanufacture is my favorite album by FF. But I may be partial to that album because that was my introduction to them.

[@ragnosm4556]

Mortal Kombat.... I liked it)))❤

[@menezesadv]

Mr. Raymond Herrera is one of the most underrated drummers in Heavy Metal history…

[@tomdowney37215]

Ray Herrera was one of my biggest influences as a young metal drummer.

[@Kommander696]

Same here and still is. Love it or hate it his drumming on Resurrection is perfection!

[@RastaOlo]

Same.. mid 90's i think

[@amuse311]

I’m not even a drummer (bass player actually) and I agree here. Raymond CRUSHED the drums. Raymond and Gene Hoglan are my all time favs.

[@SvendleBerries]

Always loved Hererras drumming. He beat the shit out of his kit lol

[@theseventhammer]

@@SvendleBerries He did but he never played this song as clean live as Pete or Samus

[@RanterInShades]

Man, Fear Factory have some of the coolest drum parts.

[@giullianomartini]

Raymond Herrera is an underrated beast and a phenomenal drummer. One of the most recognizable drummers on the Extreme/Industrial scene because of their fills and double bass work.

[@DJShroomOfficial]

That is the truth.

[@user-ug8nc9wu3x]

@@giullianomartini honest question though: anything Dino has done ends up sounding the same in that it doesn't really sound any different now after like what 5 drummers since? So who wrote the parts? I ate there cool but being a guitarist and drummer second, to me Fear factory sounds like a drummer playing parts a guitarist wrote at home on his drum machine... which i think is pretty much the gig when play with Dino(You're paid to play, not think or contribute). Anyone know who really wrote that parts? Playing is awesome enough, yes but I'm curious who wrote them.

[@VortechBand]

@@user-ug8nc9wu3x Raymond wrote most (all?) of the drums. He was always about having each song being identifiable just by the drum parts. Post-Raymond, I'm pretty sure most drums are by Dino though. At least the big picture, though Gene added a lot of his own things which you can hear from how different Mechanize sounds drum-wise compared to the other albums.

[@unholymunk]

I remember playing carmageddon with this track ripping in the background.... It cemented my love for metal.

[@VortechBand]

Bet that hurt!

[@matthewsammut2881]

what an intro song to have for the game!

[@joelkelly3225]

Me too. The game CD I had played the demanufacture album all the way through without vocals if you put it in a CD player - it was fucking sick. Wish I still had it.

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

I bought this album right after watching the original "Mortal Kombat" movie with my son in 1995. Such a classic, and it created a whole new genre of industrial metal.

[@Fire-Toolz]

yes!!! that album turned me on to this! it was the first time i ever heard a low B chord. when scorpion shows up and the intro kicked in i was like whaaaaaaaaaat is thaaaaaat. i immediately tuned my 6 string down to B and had my mom take me to tower records to get the soundtrack. then i got demanufacture for christmas.

[@Playername_Blue]

Watched mortal kombat on laser disc religiously. When I stumbled on these guys I was like where have I heard that before?🤔

[@ryanmac8829]

That album also had Type O, Sister Machine Gun and Gravity Kills on it. Amazing soundtrack.

[@JohnZeroSignal]

​@@Fire-Toolz Awesome bro

[@gargaj]

Same; the moment I heard the bit at 2:49 with those resonant synths taking over... 🤯

[@TheDeadmandillon]

You know it's a good day when Samus uploads a spicy Fear Factory playthrough. Just absolute 🤌 perfection! Oooooh yuuuuuuur!

[@Henrydingus01123]

My dog just died

[@grin_oleg]

@@Henrydingus01123 That means it's a Dog Day Sunrise.

[@raipier]

I always love Fear Factory's drumming. Sounds like machine guns crossed with galloping horses. You killed it man!!

[@jesuscontreras124]

The playing is incredible, but what impresses me the most is how Raymond composed those mechanical-artificial-digital drum patterns. Grroove is often advertised as the hardest thing in drumming but reproducing or emulating the precision of a machine is very very difficult. Excellent job Samus! Greetings from Mexico

[@nsiepmann]

Yeah, that's a good point - and not just the precision, but the weird patterns that you could program easily but seem so counterintuitive on real drums, like the thing with 16ths on the hi hats and double kick underneath - it's playable (if hard), but just so counter to the normal idiom of metal drumming, so it really drives home that artificial-but-not kind of thing. So cool

[@grin_oleg]

That's really cool drum parties, but I recall Dino said that some drums on that album were programmed first indeed. But there is no doubt that the FF drummer's performance is still awesome!

[@Mr2it3881]

Never realized how weird some of those snare placements are. I'm not musically trained so I'm not sure what time signature it was. Starting 1:07.

[@nsiepmann]

@@Mr2it3881 yeah, that’s another fun detail - the placement isn’t that odd, but most drummers would probably play the offbeat snare hits as ghost notes, so playing them at full volume really emphasises the drum machine vibes!

[@miguelangelmiranda8460]

[@Metalmike777]

"WELCOME!" True mortal kombat fans will know... 🤘

[@grand_vizier_of_chaos]

Absolutely.. *punch in the face* \m/

[@d-fenz]

💯

[@arsonne]

Always think about Johnny Cage fighting Scorpion in the MK movie when I hear this song. Fear Factory rules so hard!

[@garfieldgetsreal]

Say what you want about those old movies as a big mk fan I love them.

[@heyimgoingtoplaysomegames]

I always think of the first Carmageddon game for PC 1997 😆 Such an amazing soundtrack

[@thomaswall703]

Best line in the movie is when scorpion says “Welcome”

[@thomastrotter6155]

​@@heyimgoingtoplaysomegamesduuuude, I forgot about that game until this moment. Thank you

[@vaevictis_]

I got intruded to FF through test drive 5 from one of their electronic remixes 21st century Christ or something, which I dug, so I was surprised to hear how insanely heavy (and awesome) they actually were. Those video game soundtracks back in the day were excellent!

[@stanfordkoch1271]

Raymond was such a great drummer and Burtons voice, wow

[@GillRigged]

I really miss you doing cover videos, Sam. Thanks buddy

[@user-ho3rr1it8c]

[@michaelpayne4963]

Ive said this for 20yrs, but Herrera had some of the absolute best footwork in the game, and that still holds true to this day for me

Ray is such an underrated drummer. Great cover Sam!

[@chrismiller2517]

You good sir have just made my day! Fear Factory is my favorite band. Fucking crushed it!

[@jasons4950]

Oh my lord the nostalgia. Brings me back to when I discovered Fear Factory via a PC game called Carmageddon (circa 1997). Been a fan of the band ever since!

[@FrashGordon]

The 32nd's on the hats combined with that relentless kick pattern make this song such a burner to play, Raymond is a machine.

[@Maggai]

Such an amazing song, and this whole albums still sounds modern to this day. Raymond was an absolute beast, and so underrated. Wish he still played.

[@Online-Entity]

Great cover, Samus! Back in 1996/97 Demanufacture was my go-to album while playing Quake online.

[@S133S]

Raymond was a machine! Great drumming Sam!

[@marcussemfiltro9368]

Sometimes I forget how insane Demanufacture album is. This drum is SICK!

[@scottywatson3315]

One of my favorite songs from this band I loved Ray Herreras performance when I seen him down at the Mesa amphitheater in Phoenix Arizona. It was Fear factory, Rob Zombie and Monster magnet and what an awesome show. It was way back in 99.

[@AlexInBlood]

Soooo good! Been in love with this song since I was a kid. Most notoriously from Scorpion VS Johnny Cage 🤘

[@Meshuggah27]

Raymond is one of my favorite drummers. Absolute legend.

[@radzivert]

The first song of Fear Factory, which I heard a long time ago, was Zero Signal (from MK movie soundtrack). I remember, how much I was impressed. Perfect playthrough, Samus! #ohhyurrr

35 years? Their first album was 31 years ago lol.

[@erikbeardshear2114]

It's the song that changed my musical tastes forever! You killed it bro

[@khaaaaaaaaaannn]

Demanufacture is the album that got me into metal, I'd literally never heard anything heavier than Guns N Roses until then.

[@donkendall6685]

I can't hear this song without thinking about Scorpion vs Johny Cage. Well played Samus!

[@Jadusart]

Sick dude!!!! Raymond Herrera's drumming is so damn good. Really underrated.

[@fromulus]

That's some technically difficult drumming. Nice work as usual Samus!

[@satevo462]

I worked lights for Fear Factory's drummer's other band at a small club outside Atlanta YEARS ago. The Local in Marietta. I remember going up on stage and being surprised how simple his kit was. Actually I did lights for all the other bands and then their guy took over and I got to watch the show! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@arimus4520]

Awesome job, Samus! I love that album. Makes me think of Carmageddon.

[@eddhick]

Love Demanufacture, spot on cover as always ❤ FF kinda got me in to metal from a young age from playing Carmageddon, will never forget it!

[@AbraCaStabra]

Bro... I've listened to this song thousands of times. This has been one of my favorite songs since I first heard it as a ten year old in 1995. I also used to play OG Xbox with Raymond back in the day lol. Which was a total trip since I had been such a fan.

[@Djcimofficial]

That riff and drum combo at 2:18

[@diegoignacio4923]

Killer as always Samus! My favourite track from the album🔥🔥🔥 such great memories!!

[@Lazyboy51]

Even Gene said Zero Signal is a monster to play night in and out. Love the heck out of the drum work Raymond did for this song.

[@DarkPassenger]

I've seen Fear Factory so many times. Never a bad show. Well at least back in the late 90's-early 2000's.

[@Lord_Raptor]

I've only seen them live once back in 2004 and they were incredible.

[@Admiral_Potato41]

Can attest that they still killed live well into the 2010s. They were one of the best acts still.

[@briancompton2079]

Yesssss! Amazing song and performance. Thanks for this one Samus!

[@jacobrehak2641]

This will always be my favorite fear factory song. I think I can speak for every drummer that reads this when I say it's also one of the most painful songs to play on the drums. You can see the pain in your face all through the video, it's okay you can admit it 😂. Suuuuuper clean cover though!!! Much love

[@omegabrekker8581]

Hey 66Samus, love to see some fear factory drum playthroughs. Stellar work!

[@astrolopitekos]

Still remember the first time hearing Fear Factory years ago. And yet here I am blown away by this cover. Great work as always oh yurrr

[@djhutchinson]

I first got into Fear Factory in the mid 90's because I heard their songs in a game called "Test Drive 5". Hearing this song again brings back those memories. Great cover!

[@66Samus]

I remember Test Drive!!! hell yes

[@Fister_of_Muppets]

Back in 2001, one of the tests I did on new custom speaker enclosures for vehicles was not rap, hip-hop... it was 5 different tracks, and one of them was Fear Factory. If your system has a genuine 5000W and can precisely handle every peak of those bass drum hits, it was a winner. Lesson of this story: Fear Factory kicks ass.

[@KRIMHDrummer]

Great Job Sam! 🔥

[@WadeMichelle1982]

[@ChrisS0782]

Dude, that was F'n spot the F on!!! And when I first heard FF's awesomeness, I was 100% sure it was all done on a computer because it sounded so futuristic! This video just made me recall the moment I was proven wrong, many... MANY years after.

[@monkeyspank6444]

Raymond Herrera definitely not a clone, you freakin know that drumming , unlike so many . He is the founder of Fear Factory and A big time influence, to hear him talk about Depeche Mode and wanting that sound for his Bass Drums so they could be heard was a great idea .Those 32 notes off the highhat remind me of Clive Burr (Another Life,Run to the Hills,etc) 5:13 5:13 when he was ripping it up with Early Maiden. Herrera loved Video Games so he went on to pursue music in that format. His playing will always be INTENSELY MEMORABLE 👀
