the combination of Hypnotic Nova's Dance, flawless drumming and that beautifully mesmerising rug seems to have put me in a state of near trance, fantastic job Travis!
I've listened to this about 30 times today. Travis, you hit this one out of the park. It's nothing new, but the L/R split with your kit makes listening to you an incredible experience.
@somethingorange @DaltonTheDwarven Hahaha, it actually didn't work out - had to head home and upload from there. Thanks for following me on the ol' Twitter.
Today I was abandoned by my coworkers when we couldn't finish our project by the end of normal work hours and I just don't like leaving something unfinished that can be completed within a couple of hours. Had Planet Geisha blasting out of the speakers to keep me in a good mood and now i can spend the rest of my Friday evening playing it just as loud at home :)
Plini R H from the band Halcyon plays Guitar chorus on Hypnotic nova's Dance middle track and Wizardry Mind introduction . Thank you to all Plini Breeze and Travis !!!!
It is rehearsed, but the chart is present to provide 'reminders', and as you can see I even still mistakenly omit things every [great] now and then, haha.
knowing all the difficulties to record drums (that's the reason that i use drum programmed FOR THE MOMENT), Anup and Travis duo make perfect sound perfect color tones perfect drumming perfect video. with all these criteria at this level it's just amazing. . . Plus Juan carlos Briceno Sanchez and Plini R H value my composition... Thank you to all
Wow That was just too awesome. Your so good Travis and incredibly inspiring to become a great musician....Keep having fun and inspiring people. Thanks for all your uploads and time spent for us/fans.
Great playing, Travis! I always love your work but I enjoyed this piece so much that I feel compelled to say something specifically (in addition to buying the album right after the video ended). The phrasing and ideas you're adding fit perfectly with the rest of the instruments. The whole tune has a really cool vibe to it. There's certainly a lot going on but it still feels natural and organic. Great job all around!
I'm loving this song. It's so freakin' groovy. I think I may have to tackle a few parts of it myself. It seems like one of your more tractable songs, especially for a young (as in experience) drummer like myself.
Hey Travis.. as a Jedi to fellow Jedi.. and truly out of respect, i dare you to pay a tiny bit more attention to your posture.. for my love of your talent and supporting it's longevity.. the last thing this world needs is you with back problems! : ) Thank you for your gift!
Travis Orbin, ever since I heard the song, "The Opposite Viewed in Real Time," I was hooked by your complexity and precision. And when I saw it live in OK at the Diamond Ballroom, I was addicted. You have so much imagination and passion in your music and drumming, I feel like I am somewhere else, especially in the "Cartoon Theory" music. All that to ask, have you or have you ever thought of doing music therapy?
I was reading up on how to get a good snare sound, and many engineers say it has more to do with overheads; the close mic is more for little tweaks. Not sure how true that is, but just passing on some info.
If you have multiple cameras, make sure you take the white balance from the same spot with all the cameras. This way you won't have so much difference in the colors between shots.
ive always used that method, but the bottom end of the snare often comes from a close mic. and a lot of people hi pass the overheads. especially when sample replacing. id definitely love to have trav's insight on how to make a snare sound like THAT.
0 dislikes, GOOD. I'd love to know your microphone configuration for this session, everything sounds spectacular and I'm even more impressed that it's 100% natural sounds that you've captured. cheers.
You sir are incredible. However, Im not here just to tell you how good you are haha. I recently started playing open handed because of you and good ole Carter Beauford but sadly I cannot find many things on playing open handed (besides a book that I ordered but it never came..) Please help me out some pointers? My typical kit set up is a kick, snare and floor tom (lefty set up for now to resist right hand/leg dominance.) Any advice?
SOOOOOO well done, amazing orchestration around the drums. what you've done totally destroys the programmed version haha. when/where will this track be available for purchase/download?
Hi Travis, good stuff. Can you tell me why you use your left leg only on some bass drum hits and in other parts of the song you use your right leg only?
@SCOUTCHRIS Damn mate, try playing something that complex without staring at notes all the time. Shiet bro, you would be a wizard if you could do that.
hey man! aside from the badassity of the playing.. jus curious. is this your mix or anups? both of you and Rudy have the best mixes on youtube in my opinion :)
this is so good, dream come true to have played on the same track as you travis!
ps. nice carpet

Thankya! Just to clarify, Anup mixed the drums and layered 'em with an instrumental track that Max provided me.
haha no worries, i did the bit around 1:45 to 2:25
my name is plini (soundcloud . com / plini) :)

Cartoon Theory is like one of the only album's I've actually bought on iTunes. Cool.
Anup Sastry's studio! Love both you guys' drumming, awesome to see you know each other

Wow! Just discovered your channel and dayum I'm impressed.
always makes me happy to click on one of travis's videos and see not one person has disliked it :)
plini your part is my favorite part of the song the drums go perfectly with that vibe.
Oh god, this is just so damn beautiful. Orbin, you never cease to amaze me. Really loved the sequence from 1:06 to 1:14. Super challenging!
I'm going to give Anup a big thumbs up with this one. Those drums (and that stack) sound amazing in this video.
Wow That was just too awesome. Your so good Travis and incredibly inspiring to become a great musician....Keep having fun and inspiring people. Thanks for all your uploads and time spent for us/fans.

GOD DAMN this is such a beast of a classic
Your replies to comments are in every way as epic as your videos Mr. Orbin :)

Cheers! I wrote the parts for this one in two days; I used Guitar Pro, as I do with most sessions.
I can listen to this all day
Thank you, Matt!
Definitely one of the cleanest mixes I've heard from the Orbinator.. I like it!(:
Dammit Travis, I was supposed look something up on youtube for homework, but now I forgot. God damn, every time.
I appreciate your concern, really, but I've never had problems nor felt any pain. Thank you!
Thank You Travis For This Music ..
Thanks so much!
Hey Travis.. as a Jedi to fellow Jedi.. and truly out of respect, i dare you to pay a tiny bit more attention to your posture.. for my love of your talent and supporting it's longevity.. the last thing this world needs is you with back problems! : ) Thank you for your gift!
oh my god those toms sound so fucking beautiful!!
Ahh... so good :')
I just love watching my biggest hero doing what he does best!
good to hear! glad your on top of it! Thanks again for everything!
Well that's my face melted again.....just too goooooood!

Your snare sounds AMAZING!! awesome cover dude.
It was just a matter of time, seeing you tracking at anubs place.
Hadn't felt like playing drums in a while (for some weird reason), until I saw this.
Enorme canción el estilo de Breeze es único se podría incluso apreciar desde el espacio!
Good Job! Amazing Drummer!
That was awesome. 100 little cool ideas in this one. Great job.
MUCH appreciated!
Huge fan from Brazil right here!

Yanno, now that you mention it...that room suddenly looks damn familiar from some of Rudinger's videos. You might be right!
Tuning tutorial please? I can tune decent but you honestly have the best sounding kit i have ever heard
Nope! Heh, I think it's a case of Anup's digs possessing some rather flattering lighting.
you are a genius Mr. Orbin.
you sir, have outdone yourself
It is in the video description :D
it sounds amazing, you are sooooo inspiring !!!
Top demais.... Setup incrível!
"Just GO for it!"
travis all i have to say is wow bro,your amazin!
Yeah dude, I think you should get a back rest so you don't get back problems. Anyways great playing, loving the versatility.
yes
Greetings From Costa Rica
Greetings :D
If Travis plays for modern drummer festival and make interpretation of Wizardry mind that would be amazing !
Travis's secret weapon on the floor... time to drink more coffee
Monstroooooooooo!
one of the best ! oh Yes ! big influence for me
This song rules man
He actually spoke the guitar tabs for this song.
yes its anup sastry's studio :)
You never stop amazing me Mr. Orbin. Lol
SICK!
my nose is bleeding... so fucking amazing
I too, play with the same 'bad' posture, and when Travis has my baby, he's gonna turn out to be a little Mr. Burns
hm ok i know x'DD i didnt read the discription :) nice drumming man :D
I don't break cymbals very often, believe it or not - guess I'm lucky.
Nice !
0 dislikes, GOOD. I'd love to know your microphone configuration for this session, everything sounds spectacular and I'm even more impressed that it's 100% natural sounds that you've captured. cheers.
Travis have you ever heard of Dionea? if so please do a cover of them :)
I grew up playing video games 26 hours a day I think that's why my guitars always sound like that. :D
It is very important to have great sounding drums from the start, though! Those are Pearl Reference Pure drums after all.
wow nice work Orbin :O
kickass stack man (ozone type crash with china under) sizes?
Hell yes
Isn't this where Alex Rudinger Records too?
This band is fucking rad...
You sir are incredible. However, Im not here just to tell you how good you are haha.

Hi Travis, good stuff. Can you tell me why you use your left leg only on some bass drum hits and in other parts of the song you use your right leg only?
dionaea is awesome man
good taste
@SCOUTCHRIS Damn mate, try playing something that complex without staring at notes all the time. Shiet bro, you would be a wizard if you could do that.
Btw, I think Anup gets the best drum sounds ever.
Get dat bean!
Vic Firth MS4 Magnums/Ralph Hardimon Hammers IIRC.
How much coffee do you drink daily Travis? HAHA! :D
@shaftninja That's alex rudingers place huh?
wow i like that snare !, what type of snare is it like the brand ?
Who the fuck gave this a thumbs down?!?
My, what a nice coffee cup you have.
Those drums sound infinitely better than the Truth drums did.
Do you shine your cymbals, Travis? They look brand new here.
Remo Cs Controlled - snare drum) I have the same
hey man! aside from the badassity of the playing.. jus curious. is this your mix or anups? both of you and Rudy have the best mixes on youtube in my opinion :)
