A living legend, Tarvis Orbin drummer! Great knowledge of the game and also creates them marvelous things as I hope I will know once I was also so in the presence of drumming, and as such will be great also to you Sir. I'm a big fan! :-) Travis Orbin is a true legend!
For those who don't read the description, Travis practiced this song for one night, knocking it out the next day. This man is truly incredible! Even that is an understatement!
You've inspired me to learn so much more about drums and music. Just bought another hi hat stand for my right side to practice leading with my left foot. Very difficult. Love you Mr. Orbin! Amazing!!!
I've been watching your videos for about a year now. When I saw you last night at First Avenue and I had no idea that you were going to be there, I was ecastatic. Blew my mind.
You might not be a famous drummer but in my eyes you are, i look up to you cause your ability to play left and right handed, its crazy to think that anyone would want to play like that! So thanks for the inspiration.
I can read very basic drum sheet music and to imagine what the transcription for a part like this is that's he reading this entire video is simply mind boggling.
@JakeBPlaysMusic The drums are Beat Detected, if that's what you mean. Not everything I've tracked out of Taylor's place has been BD'ed and I don't do any of that in my home studio, however.
I can probably answer for him from reading previous responses. When he does a recording he writes down what he thinks will sound best before hand. He already has a good idea of what he is going to play but uses the paper to assist and keep track of the track
@shaftninja well that's really unfortunate about SEA man, good good band, and it's just good to see someone with your technicality and skill isn't going to waste. But I keep seeing you in all of these other "projects" what are your future plans for trying to secure something concrete?
Tosin was interested in hearing an audition from me but I felt that the band demanded a certain amount of focus and effort. I had too much going on in my professional and personal life to satiate that amount of devotion. I'd still love to -- at the very least -- get Tosin to play on one of my solo tunes, if not to one day initiate a full-on side project. I'm sure we'll get together one of these days!
@inimicalODDITY Yah, I guess; people have all sorts of names/terms for it. BD'ing is nothing like programmed drums though, and Taylor keeps the cymbals natural which aids in retaining the human feel. Programmed drums are usually 'snapped' to a grid (along with the cymbals), whereas BD'ed drums are moved close to the grid. Oh yah, and "Another Obsession" is completely natural - no editing or sample blending. The kick had quite a bit of padding in it.
hey i've noticed that you play while reading sheet music in all your videos, can you explain to me why you do this? i know its for obvious reasons but i figured a drummer as great as you wouldn't need to read sheet music as you're playing. cheers!
Firstly, I really like Alex's playing, but to state some facts: Travis is older than Alex/has most likely been playing longer; Alex received lessons from Travis in the past (not sure how many, but enough for Travis to rub off).
How often do you get tested for steroids sir? Also, do regret leaving periphery seeing what they've become even though they were fantastic before hand with you and casey(all time favorite line up) and what's the deal with SEA?
Please. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY. Please, do a cover of any animals as leaders song. Assuming you find the time, and if you even do covers anymore. But Im confident that if you did do an AAL cover, it would be so awesome that it would rip a hole in the space-time continuum, and the world would cease to exist. Except for you and your studio. But, I digress. Do an animals as leaders cover please.
You know Travis, watching all these videos I've grown to admire your creative skills and talent..at the same time I hate you, just because of how sick you are. Meanwhile I just feel stuck. lol

Without a doubt one of my favourite drummers in the world. Such an inspiration. Flawless as always.
I feel like my life has been incomplete for the past two weeks without a new video.
You've inspired me to learn so much more about drums and music. Just bought another hi hat stand for my right side to practice leading with my left foot. Very difficult. Love you Mr. Orbin! Amazing!!!
Travis Orbin: Bringing hope to the Future of Drumming. Beast musician!
I can't get over how rhythmically creative you are. A joy to listen to/watch!
man, your layour is so unique, and it works so well for you, its insane how tight you are, and your definetely one of the best drummers out there!
I'm just enjoying this so much. Sitting here and just feeling so relaxed and enjoying it, it is sooooo good!
I've been watching your videos for about a year now. When I saw you last night at First Avenue and I had no idea that you were going to be there, I was ecastatic. Blew my mind.
4:08 his face is like, "that was good uh". I love your drumming travis! You are awesome
that deep ash snare sounds so good
Your drumming is amazing and the groups you feature are fantastic too. Discovered several bands thanks to you
Those fills around 3:50 were mindblowing.
Another fantastic vid, keep it up Travis !
You might not be a famous drummer but in my eyes you are, i look up to you cause your ability to play left and right handed, its crazy to think that anyone would want to play like that! So thanks for the inspiration.
Easily the best dyed in grey video yet! EASILY.
I can read very basic drum sheet music and to imagine what the transcription for a part like this is that's he reading this entire video is simply mind boggling.
even changes his pants without missing a beat haha, good stuff
the syncopation is awesome! your vids never get old
marvelous, still cant get enough mr.orbin
brilliant work as usual. taylor REALLY smashed the snare in the second video. i guess thats what it takes to fit in a dense metal mix.
Your snare is so beautiful. Sound and appearance!
Daaang. 6:20 is so clean. Great job as usual!
that snare... sooo beuatiful
coordination, power, rhytmic...i can't believe ;)
Fantastic sound

@AnarchyAnt89 Thanks so much!
Come on travis! Another video! I've been waitin like 2 weeks to see another one! Do you still do work for cyclamen? Cause those vids are my favs!
beautifull!!!!!
I can probably answer for him from reading previous responses.
When he does a recording he writes down what he thinks will sound best before hand. He already has a good idea of what he is going to play but uses the paper to assist and keep track of the track
Dude you are an awesome drummer I subscribed :D

sick!!you are the best!
Can you give us a tour on recording and such!
Fucking genius sir! My favorite drummer at the moment :)
I hate watching you!!! You always wreck my brain!!!! Good stuff. :)
god damn your snare sounds amazing ^^

damn awesome
Freakin a' - so good
That fill at 4:55... Awesome.
3:34 face is like: "Damn! I f@cked that one up! Gotta do another take!"
Still working on being able to play the groove at 1:00 :P Travis, you're killing me here!
You Sir are one incredible drummer. I wish you had more fame than Luke Holland! You are so much better! How long have you been playing for?
OHHH GAWWWDDD!!
Awesome. The attack of the snare is wicked. What kind of snare is it?
@GeneralMillss Looks like his Craviotto Ash snare. I do believe he's selling it...
Travis! you need to hook up with Toontrack and make a EZX kit / midi groove library so you can drum to all my songs.
Travis was Rudinger's teacher. If anything it is Alex who copied (even though they aren't very similar set ups).
When you watch Travis play it's alot like watching a movie, you want to see what he's going to do next.
@PennaOutdoors He has worked on it for fun but has never used it in any sessions.
Hope you get to read this Travis. ---Do you do Heel to Toe, like Chris Adler? (Lamb of god)
his website has all gear info on it.
Would you have taken Navene's spot in AAL if Tosin asked you to do it?
which your hand is main? :D you play fantastic..
i'd love to see a vid that shows the chart! like, off in a corner :)
Also, Travis has been using this set-up longer than Alex has been adding a floor on his left.
Travis, do you have any advice to play odd time signatures? Im starting playing to them, but sometimes i got lost. Thanks by the way.
Hey, Travis, is your bass drum without muffling on the "Another Obsession" segment? The tone is amazing with headphones.
@shaftninja Is that similar to quantization?
what snare are u using? is it a brass snare? awesome playing aswell :)
Lol @ 2:17 hahahahahaha
Travis you are progressive drumming!
What snare is that? It looks really interesting.
ive been wondering for a while what kind of bass and floor tom is that
what craviotto snare is that?
how do you fit all that piece onto one music sheet?!
WE HAVE TO GO DJENT, KATE!
@shreddmasterj
Triggers work best when you want a mechanical sound, don't have a decent quality kit, or you're playing at extreme speeds.
hey i've noticed that you play while reading sheet music in all your videos, can you explain to me why you do this? i know its for obvious reasons but i figured a drummer as great as you wouldn't need to read sheet music as you're playing. cheers!
first!
pro drumming btw, like you dont already know :)
Firstly, I really like Alex's playing, but to state some facts: Travis is older than Alex/has most likely been playing longer; Alex received lessons from Travis in the past (not sure how many, but enough for Travis to rub off).
what heads do you have on your kick?
Travis, not sure if this has been asked before, but have you ever attended any school for music? Or any college at all for that matter?
How often do you get tested for steroids sir? Also, do regret leaving periphery seeing what they've become even though they were fantastic before hand with you and casey(all time favorite line up) and what's the deal with SEA?
@unsafesk8erm 1) Uh, never... heh. 2) Nope. 3) Indefinite hiatus.

@shaftninja nice answers
I pay for internet for this!
Please. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY. Please, do a cover of any animals as leaders song. Assuming you find the time, and if you even do covers anymore. But Im confident that if you did do an AAL cover, it would be so awesome that it would rip a hole in the space-time continuum, and the world would cease to exist. Except for you and your studio. But, I digress. Do an animals as leaders cover please.
can someone please tell me the name of this type of music? the genre? sounds sick and very, difficult to play lol
This is progressive metal.
reddit.com/r/progmetal is a great place to find more.
You know Travis, watching all these videos I've grown to admire your creative skills and talent..at the same time I hate you, just because of how sick you are. Meanwhile I just feel stuck. lol
Keep the beard. It's bad ass!
Sometimes when I poop, water splashes up on my sack and it's uncomfortable.
I'll be honest, I'm a little scared for that day.
@Beeson1sm denied!
