Travis Orbin - Second I Am King Session - "Monsters"

[ItchyBallsaky]

Holy Moses.....

[nigelic]

wut went down at 2o3 minutes? did u take more than one take of that section?

[romeo13x]

@nigelic Travis lives in a different dimension than the rest of us, sometimes the camera has a tough time capturing his very essence.

[gmuller2009]

1:52 - 2:05 is nothing less then amazing. drumming beauty!

[Drum4Dream]

I see axis pedals, am i right?

[Tile102]

@Drum4Dream Demon Drives

[Drum12301]

I really really really REALLY enjoyed this. Thank you!

[crookedcreekstudios]

do they still slip edit your drums into place? are you guys using sample replacement for the kick and snare or is that your tone? it sounds good none the less. keep it up!

[catharsis2609]

Is there any way you could make the sheet available? :D If you have it.

[bkoker71]

Another masterpiece!! It took me awhile to realize there was a splash in your set up...just not used to seeing one in your kit. Also dig the camera placement on this one.

[nigelic]

this is amazing drumming!!

[RoiKRodriguez]

Great track Travis!!! AWESOME playing always!

[osnad]

Transcript?

[gaigewilderdrums]

Glad you mentioned those kick notes @ 1:06 (;

I FEEL SO SPECIAL.

[ShuruburaOleg]

Why you place ride on the left? I'm playing on a drumkit like yours right now, it is more comfortably then traditional, but I messed up with ride cymbal.

[Justins150]

@ShuruburaOleg he probably does it so it makes him use his left hand on it to make that hand a bit better. or cause its comfortable for him. or possibly both reasons haha

[gmuller2009]

how do you like the sound of the ICON cymbals compared to your original cymbals?

[garrettmillerdrums]

So what happens when these bands play live and the new drummers can't play this stuff!? haha, great.

[IAKmusic]

@garrettmillerdrums our drummer can play theses songs quite well live actually:)

[garrettmillerdrums]

@IAKmusic :-D

[DragonFlopp]

Travis... How often do bands come to you for drum recording? And how exactly do you decide who to track drums for?

[spankmaster008]

oh, and the pearl sensitone sounds INCREDIBLE! my favorite snare sound you've had yet.

[spankmaster008]

FINALLY! You've tamed that china and stand haha!

[joshuag94]

sounds like the old saosin

[Rougarou13]

I'm starting to hear Tomas Haake coming through that bass drum, LOL!

[drums258]

You're SO amazing. Creativeeeeee

[iloveskateboarding45]

FUCK it makes me happy when you crush that ride!

[dennychaos]

Great drumming, not so great music, not so great angle.

[oggydrums]

Great camera angle!

[MikeFasanoDrums]

Love this camera angle!

[jobencore]

Killing it as always. Question, Is that linear drumming at 1:51? Sounds so creative. I still just wonder what makes you think to do that there.

Would it be possible to get a transcription of this song or even just of that part from 1:51 - 2:05?

[xoninmuoshda]

Nice drumming! but this angle sucks, Travis.

[ShnHonour]

I click "like" while the video is uploading.

[TheMuYaki]

I think I'm genuinely in love with Mr. Orbin : |

[Clancedrums]

if you play the video 1/4th the speed you will see hes doing different stuff whilst drumming XD

[Peartyboy]

1:52 - Sweet linear groove, dude! Kinda like the one in "The Contour". Niiice. (Gotta do an "H2P" on those, ha)

[AHeroWithin]

:26 :D

[chrisgsauce]

Agreed. Travis, that beard has to stay. Looks so more natural on you. And it gives you super powers

[choperx]

you are the slickest I've seen in my life ... amazing

[Kokashiba]

As I suspected, anything becomes better with a beard.

[Hheawy]

I like the variety of this tune :)

[AlleLugari]

I found Travis' s secret for his amazing sound: he uses a mic for the music stand too. SMART!

[shaftninja]

@AlleLugari Heh, that mic is picking up the left side hats.

[fregodrum]

1:52 wtf!!!! That's smart! Your pedals are amazing! That left pedal just bounces and bounces after you leave the pedal.

[LordAbrxias]

Love the new kit dude. Where did you get it??

[Clancedrums]

hey travis!

I see you have a new drumkit, what happened to truth?

[VeryLargeRat]

@Clancedrums he upgraded to a Pearl Reference Pure kit. Sounds better imo

[Clancedrums]

@VeryLargeRat agreed :)

[Artemios58rus]

Шалун-парнишка, озорной мальчишка!))

[TheVitushkin]

@Artemios58rus че за хрень!!!

[Artemios58rus]

@TheVitushkin

What's your problem, man?

[TheVitushkin]

@Artemios58rus очень странный коммент ты написал, а так никаких проблем

[dimonsnight1]

ΚΡΙΜΑ ΕΝΑΣ ΤΟΣΟ ΓΑΜΑΤΟΣ ΝΤΡΑΜΜΕΡ ΝΑ ΠΑΙΖΕΙ ΣΕ ΤΕΤΟΙΕΣ ΜΑΛΑΚΙΕΣ ΦΛΩΡΟΜΕΤΑΛΟΚΟΜΜΑΤΑ

[Rougarou13]

DJENT DJENT DJENT DJENT BREAK DOWN! DJENT DJENT DJENT DJENT BREAKDOWN! Haha its awesome, so much to this song!

[Dark0men]

It'd be really awesome if you made that splash a permanent piece to your set-up. I love splashes.

[blockedfromfame]

Video number 123. Love it.

[CrawfordDrummer]

That pearl is the best snare you have, despite it being old! And the reference sounds amazing!

[krissjean]

do more drum covers on bands LIKE THIS!

[eazyb33zy]

@krissjean These aren't covers. Bands pay Travis to write/track drums for them.

[Andrexthor]

@krissjean This is not a cover, he recorded the drums for the band I Am King. He's a session drummer.

[5dayslater]

@Andrexthor So was he the session drummer for Sky Eats Airplane or was he their actually drummer?

[IAKmusic]

@5dayslater he was actually their drummer haha

[ArinMichelle]

nice shirt, haha, actually i mean nice everything, especially your playings/parts!

[Whatuphorizon]

Great work man. Loving the new angle too!

[CHRISMUSICO]

SICK MATE!!

[SmokeyNevada]

Holy shit travis, you're incredible. Do you intend on teaching lessons via bandhappy?

[TheMercilessMelb]

3:00 Magic moving cymbal stand.

[inimicalODDITY]

@TheMercilessMelb And so it begins....

[howycwap]

@inimicalODDITY every video. its ridiculous.

[inimicalODDITY]

Yes, I've been so anxious to hear the new kit.

[KillingCure]

I don't always put a blanket over my bass drum... But, when I do it sounds way better.

[Trifectumband]

The Pearl sounds extraordinary!!!

[MidasTitus]

Those are some VERY sick fills, Travis. You consistently take what could be decent/average hardcore drumming to an insane level. Such technicality and very creative use of fills and variations on already excellent grooves.

[Jaythedrummerman]

Dude I'm inspired every time I watch one of your session vids. Truly one of a kind talent.

[Deadrocks]

I never noticed the blanket on the bass drum. Has it always been there?
