He stepped in to help Ray last minute and pulled it off. That is one GREAT drum tech. Plus he is the guy who had to set up the kit and tear it down after. That is a long day.
It’s the coolest thing, knowing that ride is projected over that many people out in the audience. Would be the coolest feeling being the one causing the the loud roar of screams!
Abel went to my school today for career day and it was awesome, he told us his life story and how he got to were he is now and it was really inspiring, he is an amazing person and deserves everything he has, god bless him
Was therein the front row root this show. You were awesome, didn't even realize it wasn't Ray until after this song and I got a good look. Thank you so much for saving this show!
Smart man - don't look at the audience until you are relaxed. And note to any wanna be drum techs - learn the catalog. Countless gigs are gotten that way.
Hi Abel, I'm excited about the videos where you are playing with korn, in the concert, I feel very happy for you ... I totally identified percent. you have a good day
Very good lesson. It's not about who can play the parts, it's about who can compose original music and who is tolerable on tour. The internet is full of drummers who can play the parts, but someone who fits into the band, can repeat a gig a million times and bring the groove night after night? Very few. Now if we got someone to fill in for Danny Carey for a night to shut up the fanboys.
este concierto pra ti debio ser muy con mucha adrenalina te felicito la saco por la ventana desde colombia felicitaciones por aquel concierto de esa fecha
I'm 36 now but have been listening to KoRn since their first album came out when I was a freshman in highschool. I still want to get in the pit and fuck shit up when I hear this at 1:37
I now i would have messed this up so badly (even though i know Blind so well).. Pressure and the crowd would have got to me big time .... Dude freaking smashed it ...
Most touring drummers and guitar players that are big enough to have a drum tech will choose someone that knows there kit and how to set it up but also will choose a accomplished player that can fill in for them in situations like getting sick or emergency so the show can still go on
Fucking killed it!! I bet hes heart was jumping out of his chest,,what a RUSH for him ... catfish you did awesome on that..even tho it was years ago, I get nervous for you every time i watch this.
While I do agree that Abel is a great drummer (you can find more stuff on him online) if you watch closely, you can tell he is "drumming" to a pre-recorded drum track for the songs. The drum fill at around 4.06 shows this. There are some ghost notes on the snare drum and Abel doesn't hit the snare drum at all in the clip.
Well, he isn't used to playing with the band the way Ray is, so it's kind of obvious he would use a prerecorded drum track, same with the other band members, they were probably doing the same thing.
Way to step up Abe. Must have been when Ray's baby was on the way. I'm sure the first tune was scary. I would have been a nervous wreck. Damn , that had to be one hell of a rush .

Adam Hartley yeah I know right what a legend
so what happened to ray then? injure himself?
Wife was having a kid
Adam Hartley should fired ray on spot after this.
Yes. He was like any other drummer. We set up, play and then break down our kits.
I love how the guys keep looking back and checking on you. Such a great band.
The second he hit the ride, I played that over and over! Could you imagine what he was feeling?! 30,000 people screaming at him!!! I wanna feel that!!
It’s the coolest thing, knowing that ride is projected over that many people out in the audience. Would be the coolest feeling being the one causing the the loud roar of screams!

Israel Rodriguez damn that's lit
Israel Rodriguez Nice story Bro, thank you.
Abel has giant nuts.... personnally I would have been so shaky that I would probably do the ride part with 2 hands... lol
lmao hahaha
highpark 55 I also have really bad stage fright! I agree with you!
😂😂😂 indeed me too man
I love how he kept it original, he brought a David essence to it
that's what i'm sayibg
Abel "Cojones" Vallejo !!!
Awesome performance, mate, spot on, solid as rock !
Was therein the front row root this show. You were awesome, didn't even realize it wasn't Ray until after this song and I got a good look. Thank you so much for saving this show!
big shoes to fill...did a awesome job...
Damn right he did! He’s no amateur of course 😂😂 that’s one hell of a backup drummer 🔥
I just get nervous by watching this and imagine under how much pressure he was that day 😂 huge respect!
4:43 that ghost notes fill DAMN
Smart man - don't look at the audience until you are relaxed. And note to any wanna be drum techs - learn the catalog. Countless gigs are gotten that way.
Speechless! We as a family watched this story. We all had chills for you, buddy! Excellent job!
F U this story?
Cheers man, for filling in for Ray! Absolute Legend!
David Groove, great perfomance
I got goosebumps watching him nail it.
Dude, Must have been an awesome time playing with Korn! \m/
Sin lugar a duda... el mejor trabajo del mundo!
Quien no quisiera errar ahí sentado tocando nada más y nada menos que con Korn.
He just knows how to do everything
Kill it Abel...🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻. Always have to come watch this every few weeks..... killer job..

Man you killed it!!! So proud of what you did, it definitely motivated me to take chances, to always be ready for the chance to shine like that!!
Back for my weekly listen....🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Wow! An amazing performance. Killed those drums. Hit every tone.
Awesome drummer!!! Hails to the mix eng. too, this sounds crystal clear.
Dude you fucking killed it! What a legend for stepping in and playing that good!
He respects the original rhythm of the song. Sounds more like David.
Little bit he decided to do the style mixup of ray luzier and david silvera
Yup noticed David's version right away
este concierto pra ti debio ser muy con mucha adrenalina te felicito la saco por la ventana
desde colombia felicitaciones por aquel concierto de esa fecha
Man this is awsome , for me ray is in the top class of drummer and you rock that shit out . Would love to see you fill for a long time in another band
As a drummer myself. If I was in the crowd I would have noticed real fast. Awesome!
Kick ass job Abel. That deserves a sub..
thats 🤩 amazing 🤯 wow
Thats one badass drum tech 🔥🔥🔥🤘
Incredible dude. What a great drummer and tech.
Amazing!
You totally nailed it!
He channeled both Ray and David in this song. This dude is amazing
He stepped in and did an outstanding job, he also sounded a lot more like David.
He did awesome!
I love the fist bumps from the boys before he starts... good dudes.
Homie absolutely killed it!
Holy shit! Super awesome. I’d have choked lol
amazing !!!
Awesome job!!!
Wow! You really kick ass bro! Tell me when you guys are here in Germany. Still looking forward meeting you here some day. Regards, Tom
Very solid. 100% accurate....
Great Job man! Abel was nervous ... hell, I'd be nervous times 3 if I was in his place... he pulled it off great.
If only David’s tech was a fuckin BOSS like this dude, the Toronto show would’ve gone on
back in the day.
I'm glad for you bro. I'm not a huge fan of the band or anything (I dig the old stuff), but stuff like this is really cool. Kudos!
This guy: Finally, a perfect seat position
Rest of the guys: High fives time
This kid had to of been shitting bricks to play with one of the biggest rock bands of the world wow
I'm 36 now but have been listening to KoRn since their first album came out when I was a freshman in highschool. I still want to get in the pit and fuck shit up when I hear this at 1:37
Dude, Amazing job!!!!
I now i would have messed this up so badly (even though i know Blind so well).. Pressure and the crowd would have got to me big time .... Dude freaking smashed it ...
Bro, you're awesome.
takes some balls to replace Ray like it's nothing, congratulations man, and thank you for doing it like Silveria :) peace
The bass sounds so sick
I've never had my ears hurt from a kick drum till I saw Korn live.. their audio engineering is unreal
Most touring drummers and guitar players that are big enough to have a drum tech will choose someone that knows there kit and how to set it up but also will choose a accomplished player that can fill in for them in situations like getting sick or emergency so the show can still go on
No disrespect to Ray but I dig this guy’s groove way better. He has a David Silveria style which is a lot more suitable for Korn.
reminds me more of David than Ray - which i like.
Yup
Should have had him as the replacement LOL
Well I mean it's a David song...
Good job! But man he looks nervous, looks like he's forcing himself not to look at that huge crowd,
ofcourse dude..i would shit myself too..
All in all. For being thrown into that dude killed it
pse hunter even Josh Stephen who knows the songs as the CD would be nervous with that responsability
Nah he's so used to it
Most drummers don't like being watched..
1:39 I would like that kind of entrance!
Amazing job !! Great fills great style so fucking good
massive shoes to fill !!! 100% drum tech.
Damn bruh this video lit af
Fucking killed it!! I bet hes heart was jumping out of his chest,,what a RUSH for him ... catfish you did awesome on that..even tho it was years ago, I get nervous for you every time i watch this.
very cool
Dude crucified that drum kit!! Spot on perfection
Мощно!

I’d say he helped Ray out a lot, holy shit!
Awesome Drummer !🤘🥁🤘
I'm guessing he's probably played that a time or 2. Judging by that flawless performance.
Learn the songs if you're a drum tech and dreams will come true. Great job.
The drum set up of this man very different,
Wow. I would’ve thrown up. Dave’s shoes are hard to fill.
Nice!!!!!
Nice. why was Ray out?
Uh, Who was that on the guitar?
👏
El tema completo de x si es una esquicites, pero yo siempre espero.el final.
La verdad que lo escuche entero y valio la pena.
El fin
I'm jealous of this dude
brian and munky are always keeping eye on him but he does pull it off!
Bro is doing better job than ray actuallly
No overplaying and unnecessary fills
4:09 How can he play the snare without touching it? Is he a wizard?
Kornberger91 he used right hand while left hand hit the tom
bad ass drummer
Nice
Abel is an awesome drummer and really really nice person. Abel you Rock!
Solid
fucking dudes a beast
Way to step up Abe. Must have been when Ray's baby was on the way. I'm sure the first tune was scary. I would have been a nervous wreck. Damn , that had to be one hell of a rush .
Amazing sound! Wich cymbals are you using there Abel? Specially hi hat and crashes only
Abel :playing with a 24 inch base drum and with 28 inch balls!!!!....big shoes to fill, great job....guess Abel is able.....
Does somebody know, why he had to fill in for at this show?
Great job man.. I would like to know how is the deep sound made? (1:24) Anyone?
Google "808 kick drum" or "808 bass"
Diego Leon it's a sub bass sample. Like a bass swell...
Drum trigger.
All of the above. Basically a 808 sample triggered by a digital contact
Awesome! Did he have to fill in for the whole show?
The guy did a very good job, however this is where you see the high class of Ray :P
No flash like Ray but kept the music cranking which is what they do.
Abel Vallejo Rays drums tech and thats Rays kit..
nvm saw the comment
