+James Lyon -- amazing. they are cleaner than the rightey's. he is obviously left handed naturally (and footed it would seem) - but appears to be almost completely ambidextrous.
+Yeon Ji Sung Ja!! , as i watched more videos i found out he claims that he is a natural right-y!!! well i guess it doesn't matter at this point. i've never seen a more ambidextrous drummer
I can confidently say, this is my favorite drummer. There is indescribable levels of insane skill here. The insanely fast kicks being ridiculously constant, all the accenting, all the lush snare rolls, all the rhythmic choices... The list goes on and on
Holy shit this is so much better than matt halpern's redition of this. I've never really been a fan of periphery but damn this song is so amazing, I guess I should look into some of their older stuff. This was so tight, amazing stuff Travis, You continue to inspire so many people like me. When I watch your videos I don't think, "welp, I quit, you're so good" cause why would I quit when I have you to TRY to surpass. Even though I know I probably won't, I can still try and consequently get better in the process. Looking forward to some new videos!
Travis, I've been waiting for this for the past 6 years. You just made my year. Thank you so much. This was the Periphery I fell in love with. Keep inspiring.
I was not ready for this. Absolutely flawed by your precision, stamina, and all-round technical proficiency -- yet, somehow, you still manage to keep it soulful. Thank you.
Brutal. And efficient. So blown away on these cover videos. Live drumming (at shows) is fun and all that, but nailing things as close to perfection as possible and getting the tones all balanced properly and not sounding all flabby or overproduced in a studio setting is the real gem to your playing.
The ability I wish I could train my body on drums to play left brained and right brained like Travis is unimaginable and the setup makes everything he does a legit thought process
Didn't catch this my first couple of times viewing this insane performance, but wow; out of that rapid stretch of 16 snare hits starting at 1:31 I love how the last four hits are consecutive rim shots...sounds amazing and looks difficult to execute. Your ability to place well-executed, full-sounding rim shots virtually anywhere (and at any speed) is remarkable.
To be honest, I like this song the least of all tracks from the album. Though I've always been certain it's actually the hardest to manage (along with The Walk) - so I've been truly looking forward to see you play this song. It's a pleasure to my eyes, nailed it as always Travis!
Nothing is too much for you is it? I didnt expect this when I started the clip... Those blasts man, those ghost notes.. Friggin love it! Props to the best drummer alive
Like a boss! It looks so effortless for you. Thank you for posting these! It's one thing to hear those songs but so awesome to see them played! Can't wait for Totla Mad!!!
Best song they ever wrote imo, I stopped listening to Periphery a long time ago. Their current stuff just doesn't do anything for me. Absolutely amazing playing here!
Dude I can't believe I credited your drumming to Matt all this time. I didn't realize you wrote these songs and made the regrettable mistake of saying something about giving Halperin his credit for writing it in response to someone complimenting your ability to play the song better than mat, and you commented to me saying I'm actually I wrote these parts. I felt dumb. lol a yeays, that was shorty after getting into the band initially and after learning a few my half assed interpretations of your music, I just wanna say machine. and inspiration. I was getting bored with all the same old stuff and it's drummers like you who snap me into it and try to push further. keep it up man.
It's all good. It's not your fault, the only person that bothered to even thank me in the album credits was Jake Bowen. But the fact remains that a lot of my programmed parts are present on the debut album. I've mentioned in past comments that if one wishes to hear the evolution of the parts, they should first start with the original Bulb demo, then watch my respective video, then listen to the album version. That's the whole impetus behind doing these videos, since nothing was properly recorded and released during my tenure in the band; for the sake of posterity and presenting these ideas as I had originally envisioned them.
+Travis Orbin dang man that's kind of odd? you deserve so much credit regardless, just considering your talent. I've heard that Alex rudinger was a student of yours, is that true?
+Travis Orbin dang man that's kind of odd? you deserve so much credit regardless, just considering your talent. I've heard that Alex rudinger was a student of yours, is that true?
I hesitate to say 'student' as that tends to denote a longer period of tutelage, but I gave him two or three lessons in '09/'10. He also came down and stayed with me at my home studio for a weekend and we worked on a lot of stuff.
+Travis Orbin I see. I've seen and followed his videos in the past. he's one of my favorites. just wanted to clarify. also appreciate the fact that you take the time to talk with fans man, speaks volumes on your character. most people with a fraction of your talent in any walk, usually have too big of a head to give us mortals any type of attention. super cool of u man.
Every video that you post blows my mind, good sir. This is the first video with that I've seen you do blast beats in and the mind blowing turned into supernovas. Would you ever consider doing more covers with blast beats (eg. Whitechapel, Suicide Silence, All Shall Perish, ect.)? I feel like that could be a new challenge for you.
Check out his old Of Legends session there's loads of blast beats in those songs. A highlight is probably Cannibal King, he does a doublestroke sweep blast like in his Steve Vai cover. It's insane.
la mejor version de esta cancion tocada por el maestro Travis Orbin y se que hay una segunda version de esta cancion sin la parte limpia.... gracias por compartir
Haha just watching this again before I pass the fuck out. Nothing more depressing than practicing your heart out and then realizing Travis is still over 9000 and you're at 5
I know you probably don't give a shit to hear this, but I really wish you and Casey and had stayed with periphery. I really liked you guys a lot more, stylistically and I think periphery would have gone in a different(more metal) direction had you. I'm not a big fan of their new stuff. I just want a "Misha bedroom" project ft Travis Orbin and Casey Sabol 2.0. That would be dope. Anyway, sick playing, sick writing. Keep it up.
+Riley Tucker Casey leaving really set things back for a while. I have no idea what would've happened had he stayed. I'd totally be game for participating in such a project, though. Cheers!
Matt plays this song way different to Travis. If you check Matt playing this song in a video on youtube called "Matt Halpern PASIC 2014 "Zyglrox" his playing is very loose and groovy, while Travis is 100% accurate and tight. Both are amazing drummers but very different style.
camoran war I too enjoy Matt's interpretation of this tune, but his question was whether or not he could actually execute it in this fashion. I barely could, nearly gave myself a damn coronary.
Travis Orbin Aah true. Well tbh I don't think any drummer can do this song the way you played it, at least not this clean and with so much power and precision, this is some next level playing. I would like to see your protégé Rudy do this song though :D
Travis Orbin Which leads to the interesting question; since this song is so hard to pull off where does it rank in difficulty compared to Bugz, Thirst, Cannibal King and the like?
***** No idea, man. Haha I've tracked so much crazy shit I'm not even sure what would comprise the list; this would probably land within top ten hardest though.
Even though you guys have different styles of drumming would be so mind blowing to see you play alongside Aaron kitcher. Would defo be a one to watch. Unbelievable as always by the way Travis you are fucking insane!!
it's funny how very diffrent matt and your versions of the song are, i can clearly hear you chasing the accents in the guitar part and playing those while matt plays the groove of the song (if that makes any sence)
"Man I really want to play drums again." Finds this video, returns to hole in the ground.
This is insane.
I was not prepared for how clean those left handed blasts were. Holy crap.
My thoughts exactly.
And leads with both of his feet when he blasts too! AND It's insanely tight.
+James Lyon -- amazing. they are cleaner than the rightey's. he is obviously left handed naturally (and footed it would seem) - but appears to be almost completely ambidextrous.
john meredith Nope. He's right handed.
+Yeon Ji Sung Ja!! , as i watched more videos i found out he claims that he is a natural right-y!!! well i guess it doesn't matter at this point. i've never seen a more ambidextrous drummer
You couldn't program blasts more accurate than this.
"I get one snare hit."
The original demo of this song was and still is a masterpiece; a real standout in the genre.
Uaarkson I concur, some of those riffs are so fucking killer.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing Travis blast beat. The strokes are so relentlessly fucking hard and consistent but look completely effortless.
To play with this consistency and accuracy is just mind boggling
that's what she said
The man!
Nick Johnston The man!
Travis Orbin Nick Johnston ummmmmm "THE MEN" :P make more music together and make everyone happy :)
Playing God We have! 2 albums together, in fact :P
The bit beginning at 2:27 is honestly one of the best things I've ever heard.
I can confidently say, this is my favorite drummer. There is indescribable levels of insane skill here. The insanely fast kicks being ridiculously constant, all the accenting, all the lush snare rolls, all the rhythmic choices... The list goes on and on
This dynamics in 1:30 with hands is incredible!!!!!
Congrats, Travis. You're insane!
Every single video you do is a lesson!! Thanks for this!
duane damaceno :D
Dude...... Jesus Christ. My mind is disintegrating........
This man is a machine
Absolute MACHINE mode. Travis will always be one of my favorites and certainly my favorite drummer on Periphery tracks (no offense, Matt).
1:20 is the best touch I've ever heard during blast beats. This video is it.
ALSO 1:32 WHO DOES THAT? Normal -> Rim Shot Blasts?!
Been waiting for this one since 2010 when I found Periphery and Travis. Has got to be one of my favorites.Can't wait for Totla Mad.
CrawfordDrummer :D

Fuck man, the tone you have on the drums and groove you lay in this is dope.
Flawless!! Incredible!! So under rated. My God this guys the best drummer I've ever seen!

Is any thing too much for you? So amazed... The blasts, the either-handed ghost notes. Props to the best drummer alive
You'r blast beats sounds amazing. One of the harder songs to play I've ever heard. Respect Travis!
Here's a man who knows the importance of a good blast beat and heavy deadlifts.
The ability I wish I could train my body on drums to play left brained and right brained like Travis is unimaginable and the setup makes everything he does a legit thought process
I've seen this so many times, can't get over it. I applaud you wild man Orbin, looks like bench pressing those 100 year old maple trees paid off.
The blast dynamics at 1:30, yeeeeeees!

I get all fuzzy inside when you do those shifting blasts before the break. That's some monster stuff there.
@travis orbin you r just awesome .... so much clarity !
This quiet possibly might be the greatest thing iv ever seen! :0 Incredible!!!
Yes!! Thank you Travis was waiting for this. You're awesome!!
3:20 and 3:25, 4 hits left on the kick, 4 hits right in between the snares.
Uber independence right there, so friggin' tight
Travis, you're becoming The Macho Man *OOOOOOOH YEAAAAAAAAH BROTHER*
The fill at 0:40 is gnarly

are you ambidextrous Travis? I've yet to see another drummer so fluent with both hands & feet as you!
+Chris Worland Alex Rudinger is pretty good.
+Adib Seconded! Alex Rudinger is a god
KILLER!!! awesome as always Travis.
It's a spectacle to watch some of the stuff you do. Not even really a Periphery fan but got damn dude.
thank you mr. orbin for letting us all experience real perfection
This makes me so happy. Never stop, Travis, keep beating skin for the rest of your days.
first time I'd youtubed zyglrox in well over a year, and this is what shows up. Happy days!
This was way too good. I wish new Periphery still had this intensity because songs like this hit so hard.
The original version of Totla Mad will always and forever be one of my favorite tunes thanks to those drums. Cant wait!
still my most favorite drum video on youtube and I've seen thousands 😊
Travis inspiring work !
My brain just exploded in my skull!
I really can't believe it man. So good, too good.
You took it to the next level on this one dude. Wow.
Just watched for third time in a row, literally perfect playing. youre a boss
So yeah the best drummer like ever In my opinion. He taught Alex Rudinger. This man is a legend.
And Anup Sastry (Intervals)
This guy inspires me too much !
legend says that you have to eat a whole spartan army to play this song
Thank you for playing with Darkest Hour! You make it the best album of 2014!
Gregory blankenship Thanks so much, glad ya dig it!
aesthetic and technical. Brilliant chops!
Sooooo... this is incredible!
Orbinated morning! Great job man.
So clean! i love itttt
hey travis! cool hair! i always find myself coming back to your channell daily, extremely impressive!
So, so good. Thanks for sharing this.
Cheers, brohammer!
Double kick on point, and everything else!!!
May "Zyglrox" forever live on!
that displacement though
So clean.
This sound so juice yet very clean and precise. 😭😭❤️
At first try on this song , I learned the whole drum play of it ,but you were right about the injury on the insane part , my wrist felt different !
Awesome job as always :)
Absolutely flawless. Where you at Matt halphern?!
To all that can, I suggest following along with the transcription! My mind has been sufficiently blown!
Flawless victory.
I've never seen this before, oh my God are you so fuckin cool Travis, on a whole nother level ! Excellent!
And I thought 'The Walk' was nuts haha. Great performance, man.
