[@ChrisVoodooChile]

@ArtOfDrumming Great video! I loved those early korn drums sounds! I have the samples but they sounds completely different from the groove in the pack + they are printed with ambience / reverb. Do I need to remove the reverb, eq / comp the samples?

[@livininaluminum7679]

He had a piccolo snare early on I believe.

[@downhome7500]

Anyone who can play Chi and play it anywhere near how David can play it is a master.

[@ssonicdeafmonkey]

Thank you for putting some respect on Silveria’s drumming! Side note - Tim Alexander of Primus was a huge influence of his.

[@sagddesign78]

To Many Puppies influenced Blind…

[@janocronismo]

Ray is a fantastic drummer, but David had that certain something nobody can copy… Both make the band unique in their own way.

[@Howitchewstofeel5gum]

David grooved much harder and that was a really important part of their sound IMO. Ray tends to overplay on the old stuff.

[@Sergio-nb4hj]

Ray is a good drummer, but being funky isn't something you learn. You either have it or you don't. David had a lot of funk in him

[@M4RCM0NT31R0]

David Silveria is such an underrated drummer!

[@MrBobbit666]

Dunno who you been talking to but he is no way an underrated drummer he is held in high regard for his groove and feel

[@walpurgisnacht9234]

Meh. Ray has always been a better drummer. He made David's grooves sound and feel even better.

[@MrBobbit666]

[@lukeknutson3191]

@@walpurgisnacht9234 i respectfully disagree. I do think Ray is a killer drummer tho.

[@andrepereira744]

@@walpurgisnacht9234 The key words in what you said is "David's grooves". That said, i don't agree with you. Its like saying "john doe is a better you than yourself". Dosen't make sense.

[@descantinginsalubrious]

First album is untouchable. The snare sound is magic. Recreate THAT sound. (great job on Falling Away from Me)

[@Sergio-nb4hj]

While I ultimately prefer the first album, I personally prefer the drum sound of Life Is Peachy

[@lalocompi]

If you need an amazing technical drummer that keeps everyone in time, all the time, you definitely need Ray. But for a Korn sound, David Silveria groovy paste is what you need. He is such an iconic nu metal drummer, nobody can replace him.

[@EspeciallyCrunchy]

That Follow the Leader snare is THE snare sound of the 90s imo. It just sums up the whole decade, and it fits in so many musical contexts. It would easily be happy in a typical Pop track, as well as R&B, Hip-Hop, and---of course--modern styles of metal. It just has that X-factor. Very "live" sounding.

[@webstercorndog9717]

david silveria is my number one drum inspiration the grooves and ghost notes are unmatched

[@clivegeorge9740]

Jhon otto are not bad too. Who is your others inspiration ?

[@fernandoramoa7079]

I can't believe you didn't cover the 1st & 2nd albums. That sound & groove was exactly what made them groundbreaking and defined the nu metal sound and youskipped it; those rich and complex jazz sounds turned to metal that were largely lost on all the following records

[@mokate9]

probably becouse of lack of stems/multitrack on net... hehe only all SYOTOS; III; TPOT; Kidnap Sidney Clap; Word Up; Freak On A Leash; Falling Away From Me are here ;)

[@jeffrittenour8202]

if you're a drummer over the age of 30 and have never played along to freak on a leash, YOU'RE A COP.

[@DonnyBomb]

David is one of two drummers that inspired me to pick up the sticks and rock. His grooves were undeniable off the first Korn album. Thank you David 🤘🥁

[@ssonicdeafmonkey]

Same 🥲

[@clivegeorge9740]

Same. Who is the second?

[@DonnyBomb]

@@clivegeorge9740 That would be John Stanier of Helmet. His style is roughly the foundation of how I’ve always wanted to play. Milquetoast, In the meantime, and Birth Defect are just a handful of songs he's kicked some total ass on

[@kilometrelercemilimetrikhesap]

You've recreated his sound exactly. Well done bro. David is a legend.

[@jasonnaranjo4622]

Silveria is groove, rhythm and soul; For me, Silveria's work in Korn marks a before and after sound in nu metal, Korn's top albums are the ones that were recorded with the original lineup, Luzier is an excellent drummer, maybe I'm getting old but with the departure of Fieldy the sound of Korn is not so Korn anymore! Congratulations on his great research work, top level!

[@PapawsDadillacOEMplus]

David inspired me to start drumming. I remember practicing at home, before taking drum lessons, and trying to show my teacher what I was practicing and he was like what is with all these ghost notes and loved it. Opened his eyes to David's drumming style. Not taking away from Ray, but his drumming does nothing for me, David really helped shape Korn's signature sound

[@irrsinnrainer]

I'm not a die hard Korn fan and I don't make many friends when I say that I like Ray Luzier's style even more. And I would absolutely love to see a video about his drum sound. But Silveria definetely has made some unique and iconic drum beats with the early Korn stuff.

[@robertward6813]

Will never forget when I first seen David and Korn for that matter. 1996 first gig they played in the UK Donington 🇬🇧. Absolutely changed my love of music

[@vinceventura2393]

Ray Luzier is maybe technically the better drummer but David Silveria had much more character by creating those bad ass beats with his unique drum sound. The first 4 albums are timeless masterpieces!

[@leftfield5914]

"Technically" what does that even mean Ray sounds like ass and david beats are phat, so how does that mean the better sounding drummer is "technically" not better

[@Nijnvenijn]

One of the drummers that inspired me the most. He always used his toms in such a creative way to make grooves. And together with Fieldy's rhythmic slapping they had one of the most interesting rhythm section of the whole nu-metal era.

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

Right, but it's too bad they never liked each other. Most likely because they were both bullies and alcoholics.

[@NoisieBastrdd]

Luzier is an outstanding drummer by himself, but Silveria's drumming is just ICONIC

[@stevemuzak8526]

Luzier is a musician cameleon. He can play almost any kind of music but Silviera style is so damn unique. Hard to replicate his grooves.

[@NoisieBastrdd]

it was a perfect match between Fieldy's groove and David's drumming@@stevemuzak8526

[@TheAgentAssassin]

If I can be critical for a second , ONE big factor you're missing in this recreation of his sound is how hard he hits the drums. Now replay Freak OAL ,only hit the drums about as hard as you can and dial it back 10%. NOW you'll truly have his sound. Watch him play live from the 90s and he's smashing the shit out of the drums.

[@mikesaker9378]

Guys this is fantastic! You nailed the recreation. Would love to hear you guys do this for Around the Fur or White Pony by Deftones!

[@stevemuzak8526]

David Silveria is by far one of the most important drummer in metal music. His style is outstanding.

[@WhirlwindDrums]

David Silveria was one of my favorite drummers to get me into drums. Absolutely love this video

[@fonzo6315]

Legit ass drum channel. You guys are dope. Much love from California. A state slowly going down in flames.

[@fabian7463]

Amazing! The drumming is identical!

[@jamindamsma7915]

You guys should do drum sound videos for Limp Bizkit, Deftones, Linkin Park, Mudvayne, Incubus and System Of A Down. i would love to know how to get that super low puffy thud of a bass drum sound that late 90's early 2000's era of music is famous for 😊

[@RogierRJDonker]

I think they already did Linkin Park.

[@GREG_Khar-NÜ-Metalhead2000]

That's all *NÜ Metal* right there!

[@coreyw5981]

Yea they did Linkin already but I'd love to see these other ones. They even did Joey Jordison before!

[@RobertT1999]

I'm not super knowledgeable on this channel, but based off the videos I've watched, they seemingly only do videos on songs that they can get their hands the versions without the drum track, presumably from Rockband based on the crowd sound you can hear at 7:34 (as crowd sound was an extra track that they sometimes included on the Rockband games). If true, I know for a fact Mudvayne currently only have Happy? released on Rockband which obviously misses off everything else, especially their LD50 stuff, Limp Bizkit have a couple of songs like My Way and Re-arranged, Linkin Park with In The End, Numb, Given Up etc, System of a Down with Spiders, Chop Suey, Aerials etc. I'm not sure about Deftones and Incubus.

[@deeds81]

I know for a fact, that that snare sound was unique because he used a Remo Falams smooth white marching head on the snare. I did the same thing back in the day and sounded identical.

[@remobeater]

Wow. Excellent job matching the Korn Drum sound! The snare sounds were especially impressive 🤯

[@james-coble]

Dude I’ve never seen this channel and I saw this, I thought it was something cheesy lol but nope 👍🏻 awesome man🙏🏻❤️ love David and the sound ( follow the leader) had David is iconic 🙏🏻✅ still one of my beginning drummer inspiration.

[@christophermcguire6440]

If you're gonna try and replicate his sound, gotta do his early sound from the Debut album.

[@groovemark]

You guys absolutely nailed his snare tone on Falling Away From Me! Well done!

[@theshabushka]

you think you guys may ever try recreating the drum sounds off the first two albums? The way his snare drum sounded like a cannon was my own personal favorite. Also, I'd say David's drumming on the first two albums was his most chaotic and creative.

To have davids drum sound you need to kill your drum set with each hit like he does.😅 My band opened up for his new band breaking in a sequence. Seeing him live in the club we played i noticed he hits fooooooookin harrrrrrrrd. Got some pictures with him and got a couple drum sticks from him. Awesome nice guy . Great job with this video guys. Keep em comin!

[@badra9190]

that SLP snare amazing video btw.✌

[@carlwhittle2877]

PLEASE do Abe Cunningham of Deftones... The album Diamond Eyes has such an incredible drum sound. White Pony drums are considered more iconic because they came a decade sooner, but I really think the Diamond Eyes drums outshine them, personally. Incredible series, thank you for creating these videos!

[@bobbycoltrane7552]

I wish you could've gotten David

[@timmithaterrable]

Great vid awesome playing 🤘

[@Jmilillo]

I bought a Starclassic Performer kit a couple months ago, and it was all because of David. David's drum sounds on Korn and Life is Peachy are what inspired me to play Tama drums and Paiste Cymbals.

[@G-Sco-tt]

Sliveria was a trailblazer for sure. Such a groove player. A side by side isolated drum sound comparison would have topped this off nicely.

[@650447]

Really nice. David is always (ok, not always) "behind the click". He often drags.. That's one of his main characteristics, in addition to its excellent sound and feel... One of a kind. Ray is great, ofcourse.. but he is just antoher type of drummer.

[@ledheavy26]

You can really tell the difference when someone plays Freak on a Leash on the click rather than dragging it like David because it sounds too rushed.

[@centroproiv5614]

Would love multisamples of that snare!

[@sammcdouall4849]

I agree they need to sell multilayered - round robin samples of each drum. I purchased the Fleetwood Mac samples to test them and only had 3 samples (low, med & high velocities) for each drum. In this day & age with drum replacement so good and now there are many edrum modules importing multilayered - round robin samples. For one snare sound there should be 25- 40 samples minimum but 65- 90 samples (very quiet- very loud velocities) for great realism, this numbers can be halved for toms & kick samples. Art Of Drumming sound on KZbin is very high quality but the samples they sell are very poor quality.

[@koinvl-q8k]
