COULD SOMEONE PLEASE FUCKING EXPLAIN TO ME WHY WHEN TRIVIUM ANNOUNCED THAT TRAVIS WAS GONE ALL I WAS READING IN COMMENTS WAS THAT TRAVIS IS THE BEST AND NOW A YEAR LATER I READ THAT HE WAS NOT THAT GOOD OF A DRUMMER AND TRIVIUM IS BETTER WITHOUT HIM??????????????? I REALLY DONT GET IT...ANYWAY TRIVIUM 4 LIFE..IN WAVES IS REALLY AWESOME BUT CANT SAY ITS THEIR BEST ALBUM
@cobgab Well problem with him is he just didn't want to play live anymore (no motivation). Im still a Travis fan as I still don't think Nicks done anything great compared to Travis yet. Only song I like that came out of the new line up is just Shattering. The drumming in that song isn't like god like or anything so i like it but it just suited the song very well. Other than that Travis ftw
@KrankItVZ Dude finally, someone that agrees. Too many people have a boner for In waves and Nick and the new style. Nick is a good drummer, but I agree that the creativity and the bigness that Trivium was i gone. SHattering was awesome. EVerything else was a big step backwards .
@Colton527 yea... to me i only liked the album for the vocals, thats about it. Rest was so so. I expected much more cuz they spent like 3 years on it but still just got something so normal.
@KrankItVZ Yea completely agree. It was what.... a year and half after The Crusade they released Shogun? HUGE step in just a year. You'de think with a an extra year and a half they would topple if not Match SHogun. Personally I think it's like a Samson type ordeal. Matt still had hair when shattering was written. He cut it before the writing Process for In Waves. :'(. Rest in peace. That and have you noticed that when they play anything from SHogun now its tuned down?
@Colton527 Yea they're playin half step down to make it easier for matt. id say hes perfectly fine in the normal tunings so no actual need to go down. some songs turn really weird when its tuned down.
They are both good drummers. I like Nick more though, I think Travis was a bit boring, nothing speciel about his drumming. I think Nick is better and he is gonna put something new into Trivium, listen to "In Waves" their new song, fucking awesome!
@ngroennebaek Are you deaf? Travis is so much more talented than Nick, It's a fucking shame that they don't have him anymore. I have a feeling that they were paid by Nick's rich uncle to kick out Travis and pick up Nick so he can play his typical drumming. :/
@thagr8c0rnh0li0 Travis might not have been a better drummer, but his style definitely was more unique than Nick's. Nick was in a death metal band, and their drumming style is usually the same, not saying it's bad at all. I think we should give Nick a while, then judge him.
Travis was tight and groovy, somewhat boring and crappy live. Nick is thrashy, a beast and can take Trivium to a higher level right now. From what I've seen he's better live too. It's not a competition, but if it was: Nick would win simply because of Shattering The Skies Above, to me, their most awesome song to date.
@Direksone agreed that Travis kinda lost the passion to play and Nick is just full of energy. As for shattering idk what to say. tbh the drums aren't the most interesting bits but it just worked with the song cuz of the intensity. but if the whole album were to hav that kinda drumming idk what to think. we'll have to wait until the album in august to see what happens (seriously, fkin august? so long)
@KrankItVZ Nick thought it would drop in July;) but yea Nick matched the song perfectly, no it would get boring if it would be the whole album but that wont happen. Shattering wouldnt have been this intense if Travis was drumming it, thats what I feel atleast.
Dude, as much as I hate to say it because I love Trivium, shattering SUCKED.. It's was a complete, generic disappointment. Also, saying Nick (a GRINDCORE DRUMMER? Really?!) is better than Travis?? You don't even deserve to listen to this band.
@Stigma1990 generic? it's fucking metal, what else do you want? and Nick kicks the shit out of Travis. Trivium knows it too, that's why they got rid of him and got Nick instead, Travis had a few beats he really abused, now we can hear some more variety.
@Stigma1990 Listen to the drumming during the solo at 2:35 in Shattering The Skies Above and tell me that that's not some interesting drumming - definitely not just blasting. Travis wouldn't do anything like that. I like Nick just as much as Travis, they're both great drummers with different styles. What would you prefer, that Trivium just broke up when Travis left?
@ryan4951 Believe it or not, but I went to see Hellyeah on February 26th, and Travis was there. He said he's actually living in Dallas now, and still playing drums, and started a side project, but didn't go through with it. He was very and still ishurt by it, and you can tell he's very sensitive about it. Matt's Dad, the manager of Trivium, suggested they find a new drummer because he wasn't good enough. So they kicked him out and told him they wanted a better drummer.
@KingFrantic I just want to say that I dont believe that because Matt's dad is with Trivium from a long time and HE had to see how Travis good is... not just good brilliant.. Travis had even played in orchestra on snare and I think this is why he has so fucking awesome rhytms on tomtoms and floortoms..(i am drummer too). He can play so fast and I saw sometimes on youtube opinions that he cannot play same like on record, but these are lies.
@ryan4951 The whole getting married thing is true, but it's a cover up from Trivium that they just harshly kicked him out because he still wanted to play. He doesn't speak with any of the members anymore. I told him don't give up, and keep going because a lot of people out there miss him. It was really sad though, he was literally like "I know I'm a good drummer, I'll show anybody anytime!", like they had put some sort of denial in his head. I personally like Travis a lot better!
@ryan4951 His style doesn't fit Trivium as well. Sure he might be a little faster and use blast beats, but the feel isn't the same, and not in a good way, plus Travis' kit looks cooler lol
@KingFrantic I play in band too and 10 years is most of time not only friendship but sometimes family too! My guitarist is my best friend and for me something like that would be terrible :((
@KingFrantic Thank You very much. I don't know how to exactly thank You because my english isn't as good but I just want to say that I believe You and it is huge huge change, because Trivium is my favourite band and Travis is my favourite drummer and I thought it is lie that they kicked him. I thought Travis would like to spend more time with family or something becuase it happens offen. IT is still my favourite band but It is for me terrible that they kicked him out after 10 years! --->
@ryan4951 I don't think what people said have been entirely accurate on what they've been saying. I'm not saying I know for sure, but I doubt Matt's dad, Brian, would have suggested booting Travis purely to "look for someone better". Several reasons for this, one is that Travis is obviously very good.
Also, Matt got married to Ashley Ann, whom he fell in love with since at least high school.
For reasons not disclosed (the band members insist they don't really know as to why),
@PruneProductions Travis didn't sit in the second leg of the "Into the Mouth of Hell We Tour" tour in 2008-9. The original plan was to temporarily replace Travis. The new sound, along with the reported
@PruneProductions "falling out" in the band since at least the Crusade album, their 3rd studio album, seems to be the cause of Travis' unfortunate leave.
While I think Nick is a decent drummer and can certainly play, I will still dearly miss Travis and the amazing beat he gave to all the songs he played.
Here's to Travis, his health and future and to Trivium's future. May the all make more awesome music.
@NickAugusto13 Definitely, even using triggers isn't "cheating" everyone does it lmao. Makes you work harder cause if you mess up it's gonna be a full bass hit in recording.
@NickAugusto13 Triggers are just for a constant dynamic (volume) and processed just cleans up the bass and what ever else you want. It's kind of like guitar effects, but for drums, like check out Chris Adler from Lamb of God-Contractor drums only video, around 2:33 is a good example for processed bass and heck, a full drum set under studio effects.
ARE YOU A HUGE METAL HEAD?? Then you need to check out a metal band from NY called Through the Flood. We’re a new band, but have been making some waves for sure. We have three brand new songs from our official E.P. up on our page along with some old demos. If you like the music please subscribe. Also be sure to add us on Facebook!!! Keep it metal!! \m/ \m/ -TTF
@metalguitarguy95 if you really dissect them both there are actually enormous differences but at face value they're not totally different but some fans that have heard Triviums songs over and over again and now the drum parts by heart. realize there are many unique things that Nick doesn't bring to the table.
@metalguitarguy95 Uhh, no shit... nicks only been playing stuff travis wrote except for shattering... nicks techniques are good but all I could tell from his playing is *BLAST BEATS*.
travis was a good drummer, but solely imo, i think he was a little weak and lacked that what i like to call "f**king energy". he was too groove, groove is good but when its overworked it can be disastorous. i think that once nick settles down he can be an ace drummer, just give him a chance, hes only done one song with trivium and lets face it maruta sucked anyway. makes me laugh how all these "im too metal for trivium" all of a sudden love maruta when a member joins trivium
come on guys i love travis to death and in my mind he is the best drummer metal has ever seen but still i think nick is really sick and should be more respected, i mean he didnt like purposly try to replace travis and hes doen the best he can for the band so come on.....long live trivium
I'm gonna miss this sound so much from Trivium. Travis was totally unique with his own style while the new guy is just a typical fucking metal drummer.
@lethalweapon111 agreed. The new guy has no dynamics at all, his beats and fills have no feeling to them. couple that with the fact that he uses bass drum triggers because unlike travis he can't keep even remotely even dynamics on the kick drum when playing fast (and trust me, I saw him live). now stylistically, it's an opinion which you prefer but that fact is that travis is a much more capable, versatile, creative, & talented drummer. its a true loss bcuz Travis is by far the best in metalcore
@lethalweapon111 I think there both good, the new guy used to play grindcore so I think he has alot to bring to the table. Have you heard Shattering the Skies Above? Pretty fucking awesome.
@chelseagrin66 Its the exact reason why I love Nick more, judging on Shattering, a more thrashy sound, he'll bring Trivium even higher with a newer sound on album V.
I agree yet disagree. They are both unique in my opinion yet they fall under the same sort of uniqueness. Listen to In Waves, new song. Doesn't the drumming sound like Trivium?
@lethalweapon111 Travis was too simplistic. he stuck to basic beats that just didn't fit. Nick adds so much more into the music with a lot better beats that aren't so boring. glad they ditched lars ulrich 2.
No triggers used. It's a good sounding kit. I really like the cymbal sound. Those Sabians are mean. This is a part from Like Callisto to a Star in Heaven for sure. Too bad Travis is no longer with the band :(
@ESPltdvb400 I don't think there's any way to be 100 percent sure for the kick drum because you can't see it, but in the Shogun DVD, you can see that there are no triggers on any of the toms or snare. With modern recording technology, it's fairly simple to get his kick sound without triggering methods. I can do pretty well in my bedroom with my Presonus firewire interface.
actually i think at this time he had split with ddrum and was using DW kits so he might not have been using his signature snare drum. Anyone know why he split with ddrum?
This is clearly a blended signal, triggers yes, but also a mic on every piece and room mics and overheads. They look like Royer R121 ribbons but I'm not sure. These drums actually sound amazing. These are tight metal drums. Amazing engineering. Listen to a metal record.... these are how metal drums 'should' sound.
Nahh dude, Thats exactly the same as saying people use KEYBOARDS because they can''t get the right sound out of a piano. Which of course is bullshit, its not cheating at all, If your a shit drum player then weather your using triggers or a miced up kit, you still sound shit, and if your amazing, you still sound amazing.
dudes, youre all right and wrong, the trigger can either go to a drum machine witch than is a bit like midi filing and you import a certain wave file with the sound you want on the certain signal. im shure he triggers, but in his case the trigger just tells the mic when to record the sound otherwise the mics would record sounds from other things like the snare mic would record the sound of the toms as well. you would here it if hed be sampling the drums, that just sounds weak and has no feel.
nahh , what triggers do is record the impulse hit made when the bass pedel hits the drum and allow the producer to alter the sound of the bass drum,
I don't know if he uses them or not, but thats what triggers do, they dont improve your playing and its not like cheating in anyway, its just a good device to help improve overall sound
wow amazing sounding kit, i have a Ddrum defiant 8 piece, and I'm always trying to get it to sound just like this, but i can't get those sonic sounds out of the toms, and i can't seem to get that high pitch out of my snare without overtones. Idk, i try using moon gels but they don't help all that much.
Travis uses aqaurian heads for his drums... ive noticed those sounds a little bit more full then most heads .. also you could try remo ambassadors (clear)
for the question what snare he uses. I don't really know what he uses but I got the dvd and it's definately a metal snare, no wood. I think it looked similar to the pearl steel snare for 300 bugs. could be mistaking though
haha i hear ya! i have the same trouble. like when people are like "oh boy is trivium good or what" i dont know if i need to be like FUCK YEAH THEY ARE! or hey fuck you! haha.
You cant, Its all in the eq. but i would recommend getting a skin with something like a powerdot on it. I have been recording in the studio for a couple of weeks now on drums and travis' kit is eq'd so well after me trying for hours.

I'm gonna miss this sound so much from Trivium. Travis was totally unique with his own style while the new guy is just a typical fucking metal drummer.
lethalweapon111 2 years ago 87
@lethalweapon111 Travis was a tank, unique and talented, but Nick has brought the intensity back, its amazing!
Colton527 1 year ago
@lethalweapon111 agreed. The new guy has no dynamics at all, his beats and fills have no feeling to them. couple that with the fact that he uses bass drum triggers because unlike travis he can't keep even remotely even dynamics on the kick drum when playing fast (and trust me, I saw him live). now stylistically, it's an opinion which you prefer but that fact is that travis is a much more capable, versatile, creative, & talented drummer. its a true loss bcuz Travis is by far the best in metalcore
thnk4urself 1 year ago
@lethalweapon111 I think there both good, the new guy used to play grindcore so I think he has alot to bring to the table. Have you heard Shattering the Skies Above? Pretty fucking awesome.
chelseagrin66 11 months ago
@chelseagrin66 Its the exact reason why I love Nick more, judging on Shattering, a more thrashy sound, he'll bring Trivium even higher with a newer sound on album V.

I agree yet disagree. They are both unique in my opinion yet they fall under the same sort of uniqueness. Listen to In Waves, new song. Doesn't the drumming sound like Trivium?
Behemoth2334 9 months ago
@lethalweapon111 Travis was too simplistic. he stuck to basic beats that just didn't fit. Nick adds so much more into the music with a lot better beats that aren't so boring. glad they ditched lars ulrich 2.

@lethalweapon111 dude nick is actually not just a metal drummer, both actually have the same style, just travis is better though.

No triggers used. It's a good sounding kit. I really like the cymbal sound. Those Sabians are mean. This is a part from Like Callisto to a Star in Heaven for sure. Too bad Travis is no longer with the band :(

ESPltdvb400 1 year ago
@ESPltdvb400 I don't think there's any way to be 100 percent sure for the kick drum because you can't see it, but in the Shogun DVD, you can see that there are no triggers on any of the toms or snare. With modern recording technology, it's fairly simple to get his kick sound without triggering methods. I can do pretty well in my bedroom with my Presonus firewire interface.

There isn't any triggering in this. Nothing is fast enough to need to trigger anyway. I don't know why you guys are trying to blasphemise Travis.

He uses triggers on his kicks, but nothing else
slawdog8 2 years ago
This is clearly a blended signal, triggers yes, but also a mic on every piece and room mics and overheads. They look like Royer R121 ribbons but I'm not sure. These drums actually sound amazing. These are tight metal drums. Amazing engineering. Listen to a metal record.... these are how metal drums 'should' sound.
Jvallent 2 years ago 2
Nahh dude, Thats exactly the same as saying people use KEYBOARDS because they can''t get the right sound out of a piano. Which of course is bullshit, its not cheating at all, If your a shit drum player then weather your using triggers or a miced up kit, you still sound shit, and if your amazing, you still sound amazing.

rockwill12 2 years ago 3
dudes, youre all right and wrong, the trigger can either go to a drum machine witch than is a bit like midi filing and you import a certain wave file with the sound you want on the certain signal. im shure he triggers, but in his case the trigger just tells the mic when to record the sound otherwise the mics would record sounds from other things like the snare mic would record the sound of the toms as well. you would here it if hed be sampling the drums, that just sounds weak and has no feel.

Smashchampmavrik 2 years ago 4
nahh , what triggers do is record the impulse hit made when the bass pedel hits the drum and allow the producer to alter the sound of the bass drum,
I don't know if he uses them or not, but thats what triggers do, they dont improve your playing and its not like cheating in anyway, its just a good device to help improve overall sound
Briarstudios 2 years ago 2
wow amazing sounding kit, i have a Ddrum defiant 8 piece, and I'm always trying to get it to sound just like this, but i can't get those sonic sounds out of the toms, and i can't seem to get that high pitch out of my snare without overtones. Idk, i try using moon gels but they don't help all that much.

Travis uses aqaurian heads for his drums... ive noticed those sounds a little bit more full then most heads .. also you could try remo ambassadors (clear)

for the question what snare he uses. I don't really know what he uses but I got the dvd and it's definately a metal snare, no wood. I think it looked similar to the pearl steel snare for 300 bugs. could be mistaking though

You cant, Its all in the eq. but i would recommend getting a skin with something like a powerdot on it. I have been recording in the studio for a couple of weeks now on drums and travis' kit is eq'd so well after me trying for hours.
chocofantasia 3 years ago

marauder622 3 years ago
a powerdot is a patch that can be put on the center of a drumhead on top or on the bottom to add durability and focus to its sound.
