Raymond Herrera
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raymond Herrera (born Monday, December 18, 1972), is a musician and the drummer/one of the original members of the Industrial metal band Fear Factory. His drumming is considered to be a large part of Fear Factory's appeal to fans and is known to use triggers on his drum set. He is also regarded as one of the fastest drummers around.
He plays differently from other some metal drummers. He uses more of a stop-go technique for his double bass rather than the usual flooring style that is popular with other drummers. A good example of this style can be heard on the Fear Factory songs "Securitron (Police State 2000)" and "No One".
Recently Herrera has started a new musical project known currently as Killing Zone and also features B Real of Cypress Hill.
Herrera went by the alias "Greñudo" in the band Brujeria when he played drums in the band. "Greñudo" also played on the debut "Asesino" album, but now Emilio Marquez from Sadistic Intent plays drums in the band. Due to personal conflicts with Dino Cazares, he does not plan on re-joining Asesino or do any sort of recording with Cazares at any time in the future.
[edit] Trivia
- He appeared on an episode of the G4 show Attack of the Show!, in which he had a "drum-off" with one host, Kevin Pereira.
