Trivium -Travis's drum clinic [Yokohama]

[DrThrashmaster]

Nick can Do that with one hand! I couldn't do that with ten... I spent the whole time trying to match his beats by tapping on my desk XD

[geutonix]

9:03 can nick do this like travis?

[Deathmest]

JAPAN!!



[AvengedDrums]

the new drummer is better and looks less greasy. Travis is still pretty cool though.

[BlackBerserkgasme]

@AvengedDrums Haha! less greasy?! what are you talking about? XD

[RebmevonSaysHi216]

NOOO!!!! MY DREAM TO MEET TRAVIS RUINED!!! TAT

[Lydomina]

@RebmevonSaysHi216 Lol, surely you didn't just barely find out.

Anyways, I know it sucks bro. I'm glad I got to meet him on the Shogun tour and get a poster signed by him.

[RebmevonSaysHi216]

@Lydomina nah i knew like months ago. yeah..but i will never give up on seeing him!! one day i will meet him!!i swear!!!

[Lydomina]

Damn. I miss you Travis :).

[bigal767]

Just imagine if I was in the next room helping a friend with his drums and playing ascendancy on a guitar to just wipe it in his face that nick was in the album not him cause he had to leave lol that would be mean

[dog74586]

who kent?

[carlosdrumstick]

Anyone know where new group plays travis?

[UnrealRoxas]

Travis is a f*cking genius!

[syafiqare]

@MyFallenIdolMusic You shouldn't quit an instrument just because there's someone who plays it better. Instead, you should practice hard and hopefully be on the same level as them :D

[MyFallenIdolMusic]

Look at this guy. makes it look too easy. makes me want to quite playing drums for my band. oh i did. haha i play guitar now cause these people just r incredible. guitar is easier folks

[PurtidFate]

is it just me or does this kinda sound like Kirisute Gomen drum intro 2:08

[PurtidFate]

is it just me or soes this kinda sound like Kirisute Gomen drum intro 2:08

[Darkdayzz]

Can we stop the endless debate over who is better?

Travis left .... Matt Paolo and Corey picked a new one who they'd think would be suit the band, in this case Nick

Both of them are amazing!

[bxnice01]

Does anyone else miss Travis right now?

[SpartanCarver]

They traded Travis' technicality and talent for some off time blast beats. No thanks. Bring back Travis please!

[blooddrummer]

Travis is way more tecnical than nick

[AsCharOfCenk]

nick does a good job!

[brainlezZz]

Trivium is fucking awesome without travis ... Just listen to "shattering the skies above" thats the proof you need!

[ozzylaza]

@brainlezZz fuck off u useless twat .....u cream over one song ta fucken shit monkey

[UnknownGu3st]

honestly travis was a fucking beast god at drums,, he shouldnt have left but nick is not as good but he'll bring like that death metal drumming which who knows could sound real great.

[Direksone]

@UnknownGu3st death metal drumming? all he did was a tiny bit of blast beats.. nick is better tbh, Travis was a clean drummer, nothing fancy. Nick has a thrashier sound which will sound great with the rest im sure o fthat.

[GilbertFan101]

@Direksone He did a tiny bit of blast beats because they werent his style, he said himself that he ddnt care to play them that he jst like to add groove to the music. He could probably blast the shit out of a drumset if he wanted to.

[Direksone]

@GilbertFan101 mhm i know travis is a more groovy drummer with basic stuff really while Nick is very thrashy, I think Nick could really benefit Trivium to get more thrashy, which I like. Just look at Shattering, best song yet!

[GilbertFan101]

@Direksone Hellyea man, I really like Travis. He inspired me alot, but Nick is a badass. I cant quit listening to that damn song and it never gets old.

[Direksone]

@GilbertFan101 fuck yea, very 'simple' song if you look at it but some badass stuff is in there, harmonics and everything, really the best song theyve made so far, that song has set the bar high for a new album

[shurumbingo]

palhaÇada dO kraii

:X

[FunFun1272]

I just like the fact travis was like ' the practicing the whole fucking gig'

Lol

[TeamOverdrunk16]

I was about to go jam on my roommates drums... now after watching this I just can't... I'm terrible

[metallica2296]

lucky bastard of a child....trivum needs travis back!!!

[Chuck1988]

3:00 in Megadeth been played on the guitar! Awesome!

[MetalShin0bi]

Yet again I see people wondering why Travis has been replaced by another drummer... Travis has had back problems for a long time now and if you guys didn't know, he has a family. So he is retiring to relax his back and spend more time with his son. Pass this REAL reason of why Travis left to the other hundreds of meat heads that make up silly lies.

[true0revenant]

gifted kid)

[deadleather]

When i saw the Shogun dvd i was thinking, "goddamn travis is a little bitch for not rerecording the bonus song" After that i'm more open to the fact that he was kicked out, but i'm not really sure what happened.

[Darkdayzz]

@deadleather

but later he did in fact record them, but it was mostly because of the fact that he was already done tracking stuff.

So when you are done, you should be done....and not later come over and say

oh hey there's some extra songs for the bonus cd you need to track.

I can imagen him being a bit pissed then

[iplayhsexaiguitar]

i guess we'll never know what really happened, but he was a fucking good drummer, nough said

[ibanezguitarplayer88]

paradiddles!

[naf0naf9]

Who's The Kid With Him

[TriviuMetal]

what happend to travis? why didi he left trivium?

[MrRockandmetalfreak]

he wanted to spend time with his kids and wife.

[TriviuMetal]

ok thanks! It's normal after all.. But it's also sad aint it? =/

[MrRockandmetalfreak]

ye, it ts:(

[purplehalfstack]

holy shit. he left trivium? when?

[MrRockandmetalfreak]

january or february i think

[purplehalfstack]

aw man, that sucks.

[daoli1994]

@MrRockandmetalfreak where did you get that info ? :D

[MrRockandmetalfreak]

everywere there is info to get, i suppose;D

[JusticemakerMusic]

Travis got kicked out of trivium

[SeanathenII]

no he left to spend more time wi his wife and family. Officially anyway

[JusticemakerMusic]

No new interview with matt sais he got kicked ;)

It's true so don't give me thumbs down

[leeem0]

he was kciked out over the phone, cause he was'nt bringing enough creativity to the table ( so in understand)

[SeanathenII]

oh ok thnx

[jigo121]

@leeem0 apparently it was because things were getting old, and he didnt seem to be putting in as much passion as he used to

[izitaczaaaa]

no travis= no trivium, i wont listening to trivium anymore

[skylinegt311]

Trivium without Travis is not going to be the same.

[ESPThrasher57]

I know, i still cant believe that he left

[FalzeOfArathor]

@skylinegt311 lol saw them a few weeks ago, the new drummer broke his snareon the first song xD

[skylinegt311]

@FalzeOfArathor Yeah i was suppose to go see them couple weeks back but didnt. They let travis go over a phone call that was pretty shitty.

[tburn66]

@skylinegt311 why did he leave?

[thisryanthe]

@tburn66 He left because he had to take care of personal issues. Matt had claimed that nobody knew exactly what kind of personal issues he had to take car.

[Supersick92]

@skylinegt311 Agreed. but their new drummer, Nick is quite good.

[triviumchamp]

travis man you are my idol

[Golradir999]

poor Travis

[dsskdlfXXX]

Thats cute 'cause Travis is Like a dad teachinq his son :'D SW33T =D

[Drummerthatismetal]

yay for paradiddle ladder excercise lol

[powermetal4eva]

that kid is cool but travis is amazing :'D

[usplvk]

the easyest thing you can learn^^

[mentaldrummer666]

Da Asian couldn't play cuz he can't c wit does chink eyes

[1KOOLRIFF]

Fuck asians, i hate how they are able to look so fucking cool..god damnit...

[metal1510657]

is that black tide in the back ground? song is so gay

[ninjacobra]

Like if that guy was a Drum genious...

[DarkAngelMarine]

travis is so cool :)

[phizzd]

travis refuses to blast, i was at the borderline show in london last year and heafy and corey wanted to cover a black metal song but travis asked someone in the crowd o ==to do it as he hates blasting :) lol

[EnterJoshman]

METALLICA \m/! Lol I don't get this video

[McNuggetButt]

poor chair

[xShadowsAndDustx]

For those dogging the kid, check this video

watch?v=B6LnHepRAWE&feature=re­lated

Trivium brought him on stage to drum Iron Maiden with them.

[x3xtacYx]

does travis use single stroke rolls for fast fills or double stroke rolls?

[bagsekboy87]

no u use 1million strokes XD

[WrittenInBlackVideos]

looks like mostly double here atleast.

[doublebassaxisdrummr]

singles.

[x3xtacYx]

how would u do 16th note singles above 200bpm? would u blast with both hands but the blasting alternates instead of hitting the drums at the same time?

[doublebassaxisdrummr]

no. trivium doesnt really do over 200. travis also doesnt blast. what he does is he takes the 16th note and speeds it up to a 32nd note. so a 110bpm song does to 220. the tempo is NOT 220, it is 110, but he instead of playing 16ths, does 32nds...still singles. once in a while on the snare he will do doubles, but mostly its singles.

[gear2345]

i want you to be my drummer lol

[MetalTakeover]

How did that japenese emo guy get to drum with travis?

[MetalShin0bi]

Aw leave the kid alone lol. Anyone who gets a drum lesson from Travis is a legit drummer to me (cool).

[Ibik]

lol

[deathmetal9842]

isnt kent like a drumm wizzzz

[ThrashDeth17]

Listenening to the beating on the chair made me think of that episode of metalocalypse where nathan goes back to school and pickles tries to help him with math by explaining a drum beat then he verbally preforms the drum beat.

[KHfan4ever23]

wow nick i love how i watch vid from this channel and i find you commenting them lol

[ThrashDeth17]

Do you know what i was talking about, though?

[MetalheadGodkiller]

Hell yah that was soo damn funny!!

[xScars]

yeah he needs to find a new hobbie lol drums aren't it

[IrexxxI]

The kid looks fairly young, he still has plenty of time to get better. Thats how we all start out at anything. :)

[Sneebutle]

that kid sucks at paradiddles im afraid

[toffer360]

I second that

[metalhead55bigG]

so that's kirisute gomen

[ITELLTHETRUTH123]

travis could have better technique, he's hardly holding on to the sticks! although he's rather good at set, his rudiments still need a lot of work!

[winter0717]

The guy with the Metallica shirts is Kent.

He is 12 years old Japanese boy.

Check out him on YouTube!

[AJest3r]

that asian dude has a purse.

[elementskater94]

i think hes the little asian drummer kid they played an iron maiden song with

[burn256]

yeah he is

[TommyGhostMusic]

Seems like its easy to teach Japanese cause they are so silenced and willing to work

[AshDrummer8]

my god! who the fuck wouldnt want this legend as your drum tutor! id murder for this guy! fucking amazing!

[DarkTapi]

Same here and i can't drum for shit XD

[AshDrummer8]

i wounder who this is! lol

fucking legend though right!?

[ajam1013]

omg i want tht guy as my drum teacher

[whiteboy654654]

fuck im jealous... i met him after the show in boise but he was fuckin tired and there bus broke down b4 the show so i dont think he was in a good mood. idk it was still amazing tho

[DrummaMuFucka]

and then he pulls out a bottle!!! HAHAHA

[Bloodshotmaggot]

Jesus fuckin christ I never relized how talented Travis is!!! :D

[BreakingSkiesMedia]

we does he teach him? matt ask me to teach him piano :P im not kiddin^^

[nummmtan77]

LUCKY KID

[piiml15d]

thats nice

but Travis should play alittle slower untill the kid gets the move

or maybe its only me who gets it slow? O.o"

[To0kYourHp]

This is one seriously lucky kid. Also talented.

[bladedeath4]

Wow that kids lucky dude i look up to matt hes my fucking hero i would do anything to meet him and play guitar with him for a while thatd be amazing! And omg that kid just needs to practice the beat and his speed and he would be as good if not better than travis.

[TriviumSweden]

i'm jealous at that kid, hahaha! that would be the fuckin dream to play with Travis Smith =)

[mapopazzo]

who's that lucky child??

[feoff0164]

Travis と　Kent君の２ショットが見れるとは！

私もこれ練習します♪　UPありがとう（≧∀≦）ｂ

[pariah206]

that was pretty fuckin cool like imagine being a kid and like looking up to someone and then like showing you shit and hanging out with them...id give a nut to chill with loomis or josh milddleton from sylosis lol

[BodomBitch333]

It goes without saying that travis is fookin awesome

but that kid is pretty damn good too

=]

[DragonX28]

Travis is a beast!!!

[Sock1122]

fuck me travis is so fucking good,

i swear trivium couldnt have gotten a better drummer

[HookakidLLC]

Travis is one of the best, silence x]

[fleshfest07]

yea they really could not have..

[callamanster]

well im a huge trivium fan myself but its not really fair to make a sweeping statement like that i mean theres some incredible prog drummers out there like Mike Portnoy and jason rullo and the likes but im not denying he is an incredible drummer

[insatanwetrustslave]

Travis pwns most current metal drummers, maybe not the more technical ones like you mentioned but he's a bloody kickass drummer, sick guy to chill with too =D

[dixie60]

yeh hes such a cool guy. i took my mate with me to a trivium meet and greet hes a drummer and he and travis were talking about drumming and our band for the whole duration. was sooooo cool. There all cool guys

[gmoney101392]

left right left left , right left right right, left right left left, right left right right. I remember doin those xD

[thesystem2000]

me 2 bro me to

[callamanster]

dont think these are reguler paradiddidles sounds like theres something different goin on here could be wrong though just dont sound right to me

[toxicdesplay]

cuz there not normal paradiddles at the start there double paradiddles ie right, left, right, left, right, right, left, right, left, right, left, left.

then it the good old doulbe stocks

[gmoney101392]

para diddles?
