Ray LeVier | Drummer | Composer | Producer | Author | Motivational speaker
I've learned there's a tried-and-true method to never failing in any endeavor—never give up. If we persist, failure becomes impossible. This mindset has shaped my journey, helping me push forward to become a professional drummer and producer despite enduring second- and third-degree burns from a camping accident, losing most of my digits, and sustaining extensive scarring.
Hard work is the key to accomplishing anything in life, and it's been essential in my career. I also believe in playing hard, though sometimes I overdo it. That’s why I use Zombie Sports Cream—it speeds up recovery better than anything I’ve tried. Packed with natural, holistic ingredients, it truly works. Their product line includes creams, lotions, soaps, lip balm, salves, and sprays designed to enhance the healing process.
Ray LeVier’s story is one of resilience and triumph. At twelve, he survived a severe camping accident, spending seven months in a burn unit. After his release, his father gifted him a drum set, igniting a passion that led to a successful career. Now a world-class session drummer and composer, Ray has worked with legends like Paul Shaffer, Will Lee, Mike Stern, and Randy Brecker. His album Ray’s Way reached the top 20 on the jazz charts, and he was featured in Humanity Stoked, Drumhead Magazine (2019 cover), and Modern Drummer’s “Up and Coming.” He has composed thousands of songs for networks like TLC, The History Channel, and ESPN. His book, Drumming in Flow, teaches the power of breathwork for mindfulness and balance, inspiring others to overcome adversity and reach their true potential.
