Drummer Ray Luzier says most of the drums he has done on this record had been programmed before he'd even started playing on anything.

Ray frankly speaks out on the recording process in an interview on musicradar.com. The drummer explains how the electronic element added a challenge drum-wise:

"Mostly I would play acoustic then go back and there's a lot of sound replacement where they would take the kit and lock it up with a machine. Some of the tracks were completely done and I just went in a played what they'd programmed. It was weird for me because there were times I'd love to have played a fill here or leave something out but it sounded so good and the band agreed on that sound. You'll hear more live cymbals than you'll hear live drums."

Ray also talks about his favorite tracks from a drum perspective and how the new album has changed his live rig. You can read the full interview on musicradar.com.
