Hey man. Love your drumming. I'm curious, when you're playing along with some of these more mellowed out tracks, is there a click going on that you're playing off of? or is your time just THAT solid all the time. Just wondering cause I'm getting into studio playing myself a little bit and trying to figure out how people handle it
I am surprised I havn't come across you before after years of watching far too many of the numerous inspiring drummers who are kind enough to post their videos for everyone to enjoy.
I absolutely love your style, you pick off horribly tricky playing with such ease and fluidity. All of your pieces sound fantastic, I am so impressed by the whole lot. Diverse, technically stunning, just fantastic! Keep it up
I've always thought it was so crazy how hi your fulcrum is on your stick sometimes man. My comfort point tends to be towards the end of the stick, simply because I feel like I get more power that way. I have tried using longer and heavier sticks (currently implementing 16 3/4" oak 5b sticks) but still can't break that habit; assuming it is a bad one. I'm not sure, I guess I need more work on my technique, hehe.
First of all this is absolutely amazing. Second of all in the pause at the end is that a quote from the end of the human centipede before the japanese guy kills himself?
Amazing playing, as always! I've watched a lot of your videos, but this one made me laugh a little bit.... Your china has a living spirit in it! He moves left and right several times! ;)
Regardless of how many takes you had, the final product here is simply amazing. Keep playing so others, including me, having something to aspire towards!
you should do Prelude For The Implication by Circle of Contempt, it has a slightly similar dark and mysterious, yet very interesting sound. anyway, im likin your stuff, keep it up:)
I've been playing music for more than 20 years and I'm always amazed when I watch you play.Every music you play is pure art and ear candy but above all you've redefined the word "Finesse".
You certainly have something every other drummer has, I can't put it into words - but watching you is much more enlightening than watching any other drummer play. You are truly special and inspiring. Thanks for uploading all the videos. :)
Travis, I've been drumming for 12yrs and I wanted to quit at times for not being able to deliver the beats I imagine with my head. Seeing the joy you display endures my pain and gives me strength to be better every day. Thanks for inspiring us!
incredible, you really are one of the most impressive 'new' guys around. Is your incredible independence and the way of your kit is mounted a Mike Mangini influence? I mean, how much is he a influence on your techniques and style of play?
1:17 . that was weird, from looking at your cymbels i can see you eddited that cuz they are moving , but it dosent look like you were mooved. a miracle? :D
its wicked how if i played it on my set it would be a fairly "easy" song to play but played with your set upin the way you play it would be somewhat impossible for a guy like me to play. i mean with all the left footed bass patterns and such. wicked stuff my man. MOOOOOAR EGGS
Awesome but, why is there nothing in the middle of the kit. its like empty there :P. is it A. im blind and there is something there B. for Recording purpose C. you did not feel for it? :P

Be carefull, that you don't hurt your back when doing fills like 4:39 ;).
Such fast movement! That's Dangerous! hehe :P
But srsly I allways wonder how you do your fills over those desperately far seperated toms, with such speed and cleanliness (wow what bad grammar ^^)
Greetz & best wishes!
Travis, you are just awesome!

May I ask how you are EQ'ing that snare to make it so fat sounding? Are you putting a bump somewhere around 1k? Parallel compression?
