Scott Travis - Highlights

[blsftw666]

its stupid comparing drummers, each has their own style, stupid fucks, you must not be drummers

[bigrigJim]

When I first seen Scott Travis play drums live it about wore me out. I said "that guys gotta be on crank" and my friend turned to me and said "No, that guy IS crank"

[timothydfrank1991]

joey faggot jordison never put the pain in painkiller.

and nico is just as good in my opinion

[SECONER1]

THE BEST FROM THE WEST !

[jayakishore1234]

Those delts are extreme :))

[nose766]

whats the song at 1:08?

[LauenPower]

@nose766 Devil Child :)

[nose766]

@LauenPower thank you incredible song

[dudey91]

dude just ain't got the groove that the child molester had. he just don't. say what you want. he don't.

[Tacom4ster]

@dudey91 The live 2010 version of British Steel is a friggen improvement (like a reverse George Lucas)

Drumming is more badass thanks to Scott. The original drummer

In fact they should just have Scott replace all the drumming from British Steel to Ram it Down in remaster versions

[Tacom4ster]

@dudey91 Dave Holland drumming sucks, a complete travesty to the previous effort of Les Blinks who had real groove. Scott Dravis bring the hard hitting metal back to the riffs of Priest

[2424tippy]

No not better than Niko I think you just can't compare, Niko is pretty good and got more miles than Scott look at the age diff.

[RemoAmbasador]

Wer ist den schon Joey Jordsion??

Scott braucht diesen scheis mit den Rotierdenden Drumkit ned!

Er braucht die Aufmerksamkeit ned damit man weis wie gut er ist !!

[drummerg2]

right on!

[justentime77]

Scott was THE perfect drummer for JP and took their sound and approach to the next level!

[gabigeneroso2]

puta que pariu!!!!!!

[twbastian]

Scott i by far the best drummer drummer in metal period. look at his work from Racer X and to Judas. I have seen him playing to a crowd of 50 and he is just the same... He loves to play drums and it is a craft to him and he practices to stay sharp. The beauty of what he does is he makes it look too easy. But all the way back tom him playing in Teaser or Hooker ( early 80's in Hampton Roads VA ) he was heads and shoulders above everyone else.

[fantamera93]

i dont like scott travis.

[alessandrozerbone]

Man you shouldve shown him playing some of Victims of Change, he does great in that song. What a story this man has.

[smokingtrip]

POWERFUL!!! CLASSIC!!! AMAZING EVER!!!

[giselleramirez9870]

[Joppe1994]

scott is the best ever

[mexiryan]

i think scott travis is better than joey jordison. but they're both great drummers but i think that scott is better

[ritzo12]

@mexiryan Ok, its good with shared opinoins

[BIGPAUL94]

joey jordison= bass/tom spam

[RemoAmbasador]

@mexiryan I´m a big Scott Travis fan but Joey is much better ..

[randyvanhalen84]

@mexiryan your gay just for comparing them

[camelwide888]

@mexiryan joey who?

[mexiryan]

@camelwide888 Joey Jordison from Slipknot.

[camelwide888]

@mexiryan I was being sarcastic

[Judaspriest4life1]

Scott Travis is way better

[McJohnGr]

he really is one of my favs.Love his style and his sound is unique and hell...HARD!

[nat827]

@McJohnGr Hey! He is my friend!

[McJohnGr]

Cool for you.

[Cosmicalex13]

[ericsingerfan1]

[ParisOfTroy69]

Slashsnake eat shit.

Learn how to comprehend with big boys before you speak bitch.

[Grinderblack]

Scott God Of Drums!!! : ) Heavy On!!!

[phantomlord4]

impressive

[Serillian666]

does scott use triggers?

[quackbeef]

absolutely, it keeps the sound of the drums consistent.

[Serillian666]

@quackbeef

ah right, just looks like he doesn't, well not in the traditional sense.

[quackbeef]

@Serillian666 yeah, he plays album samples of drums sounds which are assigned to triggers.

[khower]

Just like just about every other drummer does live. It makes the drums, particularly his bass drum sound the same in every arena. He doesn't have to worry about mic position or acoustics.

[ardnega]

@Serillian666 white pads on his kick drums @ 3.06!!

[MetalxGoDsx3]

2:40 is the shit

[ParisOfTroy69]

wow..

Homo?

Engasal, If i'm not mistaken the singer is gay.

@ParisOfTroy69 you are a fukin gay man

[slashsnake4]

@ParisOfTroy69 you are a fukin gay halfor is the kingg and halford and me kick you'r ass

[ChazzLyons]

Kewl behind the scenes!

Scott is a SOLID Heavy Drummer!

thanx for posting this...

\m/

[creationofsociety]

would anyone say this man is a better drummer then nico from maiden ?

[CrzyFooL67]

@creationofsociety That's a tough call. Very different styles. Travis is much more feet and Nico is very handsy if that makes any sense.

[sparkles67]

@CrzyFooL67 you cant compare. but dude, nicko is known for his right foot, lightning qwik.

[brentmann]

@creationofsociety I would and I love em both!

[benalmodova]

@creationofsociety i agree. nicko is waaaaaay better. double bass is very un-deummerish

[mattvansickle]

@benalmodova Louie Bellson pioneered double bass drumming and was one of the most accomplished drummers ever, so to say it is "undrummerish" (which comes from a comment of Nicko McBrain's and is not your own) shows remarkable ignorance.

[benalmodova]

@mattvansickle everyone, even my stupid brother, who knows nothing of drums, sounds good with a double bass. it makes the worst drummers sound better than they are. the only drummers with double bass that are good are scott travis, niel peart, charlie benante, and mike portnoy. the douuble bass takes most of the fun out of drumming too. do you want me to say what i wanted to say? because itll cause you to cry like the justin beaver lover you are. most people who use double bass are pussies

[mattvansickle]

@benalmodova Further evidence of ignorance. As for crying "like the justin beaver lover" that I am? Grow up little boy. Why do people always go straight to insults on YouTube? Easier than constructing a coherent argument, I suppose, and totally safe. I see you are in that dividing up music into "tough guys" or "pussies" stage. Music as competition. Give it a few years and you'll find that music has nothing to do with such infantile schoolyard posturing. Actually you probably won't.

[sicomatt123]

@benalmodova btw most single bass drum drummers yous a dubble bass pedal thing to corse the same efect eg nico so that ised on your logick m8 i wald tall u the name of the fing but i carnt rember

[snakeboy66687]

@benalmodova obviously you haven't heard Randy Black and Terry Bozzio

[wilfan12]

@benalmodova ... How can you leave Gavin Harrison out of that list? He's the only guy that plays double bass rudimentary and rhythmcally, the guys a master at everything..

[oldskoolbanger]

@creationofsociety wwwwwwaaayyy better than Nicko

McBrain could'nt set up Scott's kit...hahaha

[TheRyczek]

@creationofsociety Yes. Me.

[MrLeon4646]

@creationofsociety i think that hey are both very good drummers and they play totally different so it is hard to say who is better but men who cares the music they do is amazing and thats the piont

[creationofsociety]

thats a cool story behind his career , i like him allready , i mean apart from his great talent from drums !

[redfierose]

Does anyone have any clips of Scott with HOOKER his band from Norfolk/Va Beach? Any On Stage or Brian Davids clips?

[JFRGII]

can someone tell my what is th name of the song that starts at (2:30) plz??

thanks.

[khower]

Metal Gods.

[JFRGII]

thanks man.. by the way.. and that starting at 3:05 ??

[khower]

Rock Hard, Ride Free. It's from Defenders Of The Faith.

[tomandz4]

Sounds a bit like Visions

[christonks2]

Metal gods. 2:30

[MrTennis234]

@JFRGII metal gods 

[oldskoolbanger]

@JFRGII that's the beginning of  Grinder off the British Steel album.

[newfrontiers]

This is a great compilation of Scott's incredible drumming. It also serves to reinforce how disappointing the last 2 Priest albums were. Scott sounded like he was asleep on the drums for those albums- which was not his fault, because those songs were BORING, especially on "Nostradamus".

[Metallian]

Angel of Retribution is a great album in my opinion.

[hamidmushtaq]

you are right about "Nostradamus". The songs and drumming is really boring in that album, but I don't agree on "Angel Of Retribution". That album has great tracks!

[IsSiauliu2]

I was in JP concert in 2005 tour and didn't seen the concert, because all the time I looked to Scott. He's the master

[shuldinako]

amazing drummer!!!

priest the best band ever

[MikeDrums21]

Scott Travis " The man " ... OMFG the best video .. i love scott travis ... ohhhh shit..!!! , is a one wonderful motherfucker

[spirousthemetal]

the kings of metal!

[JVC7400]

north, east, south, west, Judas preist is the best ^^

[anakondadrummer]

scott is the best drummer of the world!!!!!!!

[morituri0te0salutant]

fuckin right Glenn rules

[headbangerdavid]

[KissByIno]

scott is a my drum idol too but im wondering if he could play through the fire and flames ya kno

[twbastian]

Scott does play with Racer X in Japan on tour. It is unfortunate that he has never receied all the credit he is due to for how awesome he is. Hopefully he reads these remarkes! He is almost the most influential drummer in HM from who drummers say is their inspiration

[GloryThyName]

Desert Plains has a sick drum rythm on PRIEST! Live. Machine man and Painkiller are also fantastic.

[JYKelly]

Quackbeef-

Those 24x24's sure look cool, but Scott triggers all of his drums, so the sound you're hearing isn't really them.

[jtdrummerdude]

Scott doesn't use triggers as far as i know, if he does then he doesn't utilise and cheat like lots of drummers do when using them. I'm sure he just uses compressors

[khower]

Scott does use them. However, they are all his recorded drum sounds...and they are all pressure sensitive.....he uses them specifically for consistent sound live. He doesn't "Cheat" by having the double or anything like that...it's only so his bass drums have consistent sound live.

[jtdrummerdude]

Cool thanks for clearing that up, how do you find out about all of this? lol is there a website or an intrview with him somewhere that tells you this? I've seen most of them as far as i know.

[khower]

Those are actually his sound...he records them.

[quackbeef]

yeah, it is really hard for a 24x24 bass drum to sound good in a pa system, there is simply too much air flow

[kranen1]

@JYKelly That's bullshit. He doesn't use triggers!

[jellydrummer123]

dude wouldn't it mean if racer X got back 2gether for tour, scott travis fucking epic

[IDoneYourMum]

Scott is so fucking amazing. Drum intro for Painkiler, and the skill in Scarified and Technical Difficulties.

[quackbeef]

those 24x24 bass drums sound so good. i only have a 20" oh well they are really heavy.

[apexpein39]

they have triggers

[jtdrummerdude]

Thanks for putting this up =D Scott is my biggest inspiration and my favourite drummer of all time. He blows most metal drummers out of the water not just skill wise but stage presence and showmanship too! He's so awesome.

[danielthibault]

awesome  drummers giant guys!!!!!!

[nickosrightfoot]

Fantastic footage. Scott is amazing! Love the Painkiller ending. Thanks for sharing! I gotta go practice now! lol

[6ElectricJuGe9]

Scott is my drum idol.I love those drum trick`s what he do but i was always thinking why he play drum sticks wrong way around.

[khower]

Scott plays them backwards for two reasons....bigger sound and he hits the drums so hard, that if he played them regular they would break constantly. Even turned around, they break several times in a show.

[CCAPriester]

U totally right, i misinterpret the first part of the video, I apoligize :$.

[CCAPriester]

Pfff he wasnt 18, he was 28-29 when joined to Judas ¬¬ (Born in 61)

[khower]

You need to read more closely. It says, "When he was 18, he thought about setting up in drumset in the parking lot of a Priest show so they could hear him play." What part of that sentence says he joined Priest at 18??

[0sk4rb]

I get so happy by watching this.

[Pontuzozzy]

Scott Travis is my drum idol. I love how he play, his style. Painkiller on drums <3, and 2:17-2:21 so fckin cool^^

[alright28]

fantastic metal drummer..

[sgouraldo]

it would be great if you could have included songs such as 'Hellrider' or 'A touch of Evil' played live by Scott.anyway great job

[bromvall]

the trick at 5:23 is very nice

[drumdude2008]

I love this guy. Huge influence on me. Kick ass !

[dindrummer92]

Awesome!! Thanks for posting and the added information!!! He's one of my greatest drumheros!!(:

[Hvitiris]

Best drummer they've ever had, with Les Binks coming in second, for me at least.

[tyrant1505]

Priests music in the 80's was phenomenal I just wish we'd have had a skinsman like Scott in those days as the tracks cried out for inventive, thumping rhythms that crash/bang/thud Holland could NOT do, he made Phil Rudd of AC/DC sound technical. Les Binks took Priest to a great level before that and Scott after. Just back from the Sheffield gig last night, brilliant as ever!

[dmarks1]

Hey, you left out a little of Scott's history. Before Racer X he was in Hawk. I just posted a video of Hawk featuring Scott on YouTube a couple of days ago. You can search on "Hawk No One To Love" I have his drum solo from the show that I'll be posting before long. Hey, if you're going to tell the story, don't forget to include the beginning.

[mainkiller2]

scott travis = god of drum

[Doublekicker74]

AWESOME!!!

[carcassexhumed]

no se si sea el mejor pero si uno de los mejores !!!!!!!!! GRANDE SCOTT GRANDE!!!!!!mi favorito !!!!!!!! mucha tecnica!!!!!! le atasca chido al doble bombo !!! ademas sus tresillos que hace very impressive!!!un gran baterista a la altura de la banda que representa

[pzp1987]

Great job..

[latvianprincess]

I agree, he is really uncoordinated:)

[rockinrabbi]

Awesome job Ken! You captured all the stick tosses perfectly. Now only if the f*#king drummer could catch a few of 'em!
