Who plays additional percussion on Sepultura's album "Roots"?

David Silveria plays additional percussion on Sepultura’s 1996 album Roots.

Silveria was then the drummer of Korn, one of the alternative-metal bands that influenced Roots’ heavier groove-oriented direction. His contribution is most clearly associated with “Ratamahatta,” where he appears alongside Sepultura and producer Ross Robinson in the additional-percussion credits.

The answer is sometimes confused with Carlinhos Brown, the Brazilian musician who contributed vocals and percussion, including djembe and surdo, on “Ratamahatta.” Brown’s role was especially important to the album’s Brazilian and Afro-Brazilian rhythmic character, while Silveria was a guest musician from the American nu-metal scene.

Roots was released in Europe on February 20, 1996, and in the United States on March 12. It also features other notable guests, including Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis, Faith No More’s Mike Patton, and DJ Lethal. Silveria’s surname is officially spelled “Silveria,” though the stored answer’s “Silvera” clearly refers to the same musician.
