Raymond Herrera (born Monday, December 18, 1972), is a drummer and one of the original members of the Industrial/Death metal band Fear Factory. His drumming is considered to be a key part of Fear Factory\'s signature sound and their appeal to fans. Raymond is known to use triggers on his drum set. He is also known for his high speed playing, particularly his double bass technique, which is notable for the use of tuplets, staccatos, and other such embellishments in place of blast beats commonly used in metal percussion. Raymond\'s quick bursts of double bass often share a dualism with palm muted guitar notes, resulting in the unique machine gun-like quality found in many Fear Factory songs.

Herrera has been an avid gamer all his life. His passion for computer games led him to create a company called 3volution Productions[1], a company that produces original songs, remixes, ambient sounds and voice-overs for computer games. Some of his most popular games include: Scarface: The World is Yours, Tom Clancy\'s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, and Tom Clancy\'s Rainbow Six: Lockdown. He also recorded drum tracks for music featured in the independent film comedy "The Unlovable Losers", produced by Mindless Films Production. [2] As of November 10, 2007, he is working with personal friend Pascual Romero and his band Tinhorn on an album due in 2008. [3]
