Ralph J. Herrera is a heavy metal drummer.
Between 1984 and 1991, he was the drummer for Suicidal Tendencies.[1] In 1994, he joined Uncle Slam, a crossover thrash band featuring ex-Suicidal members. While in Suicidal he used double bass drum kits, a feature often associated with metal music as opposed to the hardcore punk Suicidal was associated with when he joined.
Herrera, along with Rocky George and Mike Clark, was largely responsible for Suicidal Tendencies' transition to thrash metal. He left in 1991 due to unspecified personal differences, but was thanked in the sleeve of the band's next album The Art of Rebellion for "8 outstanding years".
Herrera has done several guest jams and in 2002 was seen playing with old bandmate Rocky George and guitarist Anthony Gallo at the Kit Cat club in Hollywood on Sunset, where other drummers included Nick Menza of Megadeth.[2] R.J. Played Tama Drums exclusively during his tenure with Suicidal Tendencies.
A Suicidal Tendencies fansite tracked him down for an interview in 2010, in which he revealed that he hadn't spoken to Mike Muir in 20 years.[3]
From 2012 to 2016, Herrera was in Luicidal, which features his former Suicidal Tendencies bandmate Louiche Mayorga.[4]
