Travis Orbin - Set Apart Session - "I Have Decided"

http://www.facebook.com/setapartga

For more information regarding this series, please refer to the video description for "Splinters".

Here's the fourth video for the Set Apart series. This one is rife with subdivisions and unique orchestrations that complement the tune and move it along at an entertaining and dynamic pace. I'm fully cognizant of how ridiculous and comical the bonding of the two takes at 2:36 is - scads of "ghost china" remarks aren't necessary, heh.

hello travis, im a huge fan, your technique is amazxing , as well as your stylistic, tasteful and creative drumming fills. i wanted to know whats your opinion your opinion on the pearl demon drives, im really interested in them and theres not many good vids on it, can you help me

[romeo13x]

@CANdavidFLY Exactly. Like when a singer records, they don't sing through the whole song one time. They sometimes take it chorus by chorus and such. This is the sound that's going to end up on the album, so they want to make sure that it's perfect, even if they have to go back and revise some parts. These aren't covers, but actual "recording sessions" that we are witnessing.

[CANdavidFLY]

People bitching about this not being one take have obviously never recorded. Parts change constantly while writing and it doesn't have to be a perfect take every time.

@gaigewilderdrums to me it sounds like a bass slide down.. just sayin..

[GDT1124]

OH I GET IT. I understand the hater comments now. When some one is so ridiculously good at something, people find a need to nitpick and find flaws. Travis Orbin is a drum god - Nuff said.

[gaigewilderdrums]

@shaftninja You have no idea the level of satisfaction that I have just achieved.

LOVE YOU.

@romeo13x If you count the triplets he is playing, it's a total of 6 notes with the bass drum followed by the snare on the 7th note. He begins the sequence with his right foot, so the final note of the 6 must land on the left foot(because he is using straightforward footing--RLRLRL). It does. On the 7th you never see the right foot come down. Unless he played some retardedly sneaky set of two triplets with his left foot at the end, I don't see how it could be the bass. I'M ONTO YOU ORBIN.

Hey Travis, you should leave equipment info so we can see what drums your using every video you make :)

[romeo13x]

@gaigewilderdrums Pretty sure it's his left leg which is somewhat hidden. He doesn't always lift his leg too high. Listen/look at :16- :22, most of those bass beats are played with his left leg, but u can hardly notice any movement, but it's obviously him playing it lol.
