Travis Orbin - 55 Cancri Session - "Impact"

[@NotSpiffums]

As a drummer, I can confirm this. Also, great work with Zelliack, the EP is literally one of my favorite things I've ever heard.

[@rightwraith]

The section from 4:41 - 4:53 is amazing. Love the ghosts notes and that flam fill is stunning.

[@BenjaminTheBatchelor]

This is so calmingly mathematic. It's like doing Sudoku.

[@TravisOrbin]

+BenjaminTheBatchelor hehe

[@atuanoiniin]

Absolutely sick. So musical it hurts. Well done bruh!

[@Smigzi]

Was watching Anup's Titan and thought that's the same room as this - went back and checked and there he is! Can't believe I never noticed before!! 😂

[@joshuabryson8819]

I have never heard anything or anyone play drums or even come close to what you do on them. You have the most unbelievable and unique style and I am amazed and blown away ever time I watch one of your videos man. Keep it up and know you are a HUGE inspiration to so many people.

[@noahr.4272]

Just FUCKING PHENOMENAL!!! Wow! You never cease to impress me man!

[@ryanprivitera9696]

The engineering on this track is done so well

[@BenvanGeest]

Absolutely incredible performance, Travis! Great progressive song as well. Keep up the fantastic work, mate.

[@cjlc93]

Travis let me just say that you are one hell of a drummer. Your skills are mind-blowing and it is always a treat to hear you play the drums.

[@difquin]

Still one of my absolute fav tracks, you recorded. The sense of groove is so smooth it hurts.

[@TravisOrbin]

+difquin Thanks, man.

[@emptyapi]

This is without doubt some of the most precise and beautifully dynamic drumming I've ever heard. Major respect man, keep the videos coming! This inspires me to keep practicing!

[@liseblanchard]

Oouuuuouuuuu Yééééééé !!!!!! Du lourd, du lourd, du lourd !!! Merci Beaucoup pour ce pur moment de Bonheur !!!! De la balle !!!

[@calekaiser]

ahh, I always feel inspired to keep pushing myself to be better after watching you nail tracks like this. thank you!

[@trifecteye]

Absolutely incredible ! Travis, your interpretation of groove and originality never fails. Your a true inspiration, and drums are not my primary instrument at all.

[@rightwraith]

Love the little notes you put in the description. Makes watching it the second time so interesting.

[@BrenainnJordan]

damn! that ghost note pattern at 4:41 has been stuck in my head for ages and couldn't remember where I'd heard it!! I could listen to these rhythms again and again! amazing work!

[@gardenstate78]

That riff starting at 3.08...God, that just sounds so good!!! Great stuff!

[@wdavis6814]

Who needs "emotion" when you're this good? Subbed. Great music.

[@krenwregget7667]

@Wade Davis - his programmer didn't want to waste the hard drive space adding emotions when he could double the complexity algorithms instead.

[@mirkomcbrain94]

All your playthrough videos are awesome, but this is probably my favourite one. This tune is just amazing, and the drum parts...i mean...WOW!!

[@IkenFister]

I completely forgot about this. This video is what made me a fan, one of my fav videos of yours.

[@CaseyHardman]

Man, I could listen to this nonstop.

[@iiSasquatch]

Your sir are very impressive! Every video you upload just blows me away. You have so much talent and you lay it down so well! Great job man!

[@joemutangent]

The drumming makes this song so much better.. Killer chops as always man!

[@Niallphillips]

So great to hear you back playing this kinda stuff..

[@beanz5505]

enjoyed watching you set up the drums. As much of a pain it is to set them up and get them in just the right spot, its rewarding to look down upon your drums once your finished

[@neonblack88]

And god that's a killer bass drum tone from a vision too! My favorite kick tone of your vids so far.

[@inimicalODDITY]

I love when you and Anup work together. Really liked this one, Travis.

[@JesseLCrawford]

Two of my favorite drummers that I've been constantly watching and somehow I missed that you guys were even associated with each other?. Awesome!

[@SJDanielakTV]

I haven't seen left hand snare control like that in a while 4:50 . Every note and hit is so precise and perfect! Keep it up man!

[@mattycspeaks]

Bravo man! While the timing sigs are off the charts, the fill combo and ghost snare work on the beat that starts right at about 4:40 is in the pocket sick! Love it, you the man!

[@BoxUpMyBones]

Man... I love watching your playthrough videos a LOT. It's refreshing, and inspires me to work on my form that much more. I've experimented lightly with the open toms setup (smaller tom on the left, floor tom on the right) and I REALLY enjoy it, though I have a hard time committing to it full-time, since I've got 4 toms total (1 rack 12x9, 14x12 floor, 16x16 floor, 22x18 floor on the left). But that open setup is incredibly refreshing and a unique challenge! Keep it up, man! Cheers! :)

[@stevus23]

Can't wait to buy and listen to it! Keep up the good work!

[@anthonplake]

man everything you do is incredible. Thank you so much for the inspiration with every video

[@stevenkorenek389]

Damn Travis you friggin smoke it man. Your phrasing, exciting sections that build and the song itself is just killer. Nice.

[@TravisOrbin]

+Steve K Cheers!

[@sp3ck4]

Best thing I have seen on youtube in a very, very long time

[@henryfacesmasher1201]

Surprisingly low views for such a quality drummer. Easily a million view video.

[@MrCarrara82]

Amazing! Great sound, great job, great drummer!

[@penutlutz5623]

now i can die happy watching travis set up his kit

[@DeathMelon]

Love the snare sound, it almost sounds like an Anvil!

[@MrConcussionTheory]

cleanest drum sound ever, awesome job

[@LimpBizkitDrummer]

watch this still in 2016 .. and it's still amazing, Orbo :)

[@TravisOrbin]

+LimpBizkitDrummer Thankya kindly!

[@DarkPhantomSky]

Great work,man! Both with the video and the playing of course.

[@30aenima986]

i really like your intro the the vid, something different inspiring performance, your kit sounds amazing Anup is the man

[@GeoffGattsDrums]

Oh my god those ghost notes at 4:43 make my mind explode.

[@Relentless4972]

Hey Travis, I really like how you added in the description that 55 Cancri was looking for musicians, a drummer, being one of them. The only thing I could honestly think on that statement was "Good God, what size pumas would said drummer need to cover that gig?" Very cool video and super entertaining as usual

[@utilisator2008]

great music, great composition, great drums and great guitar player ;)

[@InfestedCheetah]

So tight! Thanks for sharing

[@ehucke]

I loveeee the ghost notes!

[@McBibz]

These sessions with Anup sound so well... I watch your videos for your incredible skills but also for Taylor's incredible skills, and these "no taylor" sessions clearly don't jar, that's the least you can say. Orbin-Sastry is a killer collaboration! Talking of "collabs", can we hope for a "Peterson-Orbin-Imanishi" project one day as it seems you all know each other...?

[@chrismedranorocha]

Omg bro! Thats insane! Incredible job!!

[@TravisOrbin]

They're on my website (media/aural/solo tunes), plus I've full performance/tracking session vids of "Cookies & Scarves" and "Project 15" (well, most of it heh) on my channel. If you'd like to purchase MP3s head to my Big Cartel store, also linked from my website homepage. I will initiate a Bandcamp eventually. Thanks!

[@AmuseNS]

That was frigging amazing man! Instant sub.

[@neonblack88]

I love how you include notes in your videos.

[@Sebastian_Lanser]

amazing work dude, wow!!!

[@BSeffDrumVidz]

AWESOME!! This was so good!

[@TravisOrbin]

Of course, it just depends on the music and the circumstances. One of the tunes that I tracked that day featured a whole section of improv (it was for Pete P). Be sure to read the video descriptions, as I usually highlight such instances.

[@ElegiesAus]

You never fail to make me feel like an inadequate drrummer. Time to go practice haha.

[@55CancriTV]

Thank you! It s just a demo. We are working on the final version and the new one should be available soon through bandcamp.

[@MichaelRampage]

Anyone else feel Veil Of Maya's Pillars at 3:42 ?? Hahaha Great job as always Travis!!!

[@mrd00i]

Travis Orbin recording with Anup Sastry. Two of my favorite drummers hanging out. So cool!

[@MultiPauken]

2:35 to 3:36 very nice music,melody and ryhtm!

[@Adamski986]

Amazing! Loving the hi hat pedal ostinato

[@awkwardh1ppo]

GREAT sounding mix

[@ignaziarzis]

Exelent Play and Great intro-setting up! Awesome man! ;)

[@LeandroCaldeiraDrums]

Love your playing bro!!

[@ayewhaddupdoe]

My favorite drummer by a long shit. Came a long way since the Jay Z play-along I first saw him do. I wish SEA would do new material but as long as you're doing SOMETHING with Ordway I'm happy.

[@ayewhaddupdoe]

@iPlayDrums I just came back to watch this video 7 years later and just saw the typo LOL

[@calebknott8021]

He probably just can't comprehend the awesomeness that he's hearing.

[@HimFinancial]

The fact that you sight read makes you such a better drum than most

[@DarkPhantomSky]

Sorry, I didn't see that post. I actually enjoy this song especially the motif that can be found after that VoM- ish break and at the end again. Great job,guys. And no worries: I believe ya ;D

[@TravisOrbin]

Well it's in GP so it's quite simple: file > export > .bmp. However, after that I squish the staffs together manually before printing, so it all fits on 1-3 pages.

[@HaroNRIPley1]

Cyclamen style - I love it !

[@mygamesrock]

Anup´s Studio? hell yeah! what a couple!

[@Stemage]

You are the fill KING sir.

[@bartoszdrum]

I love Your style !

[@TheDrummerKick2]

This song is amazing easily my favorite.

[@sp3ck4]

Fantastic.

[@TravisOrbin]

I'm not really sure what you mean by the cymbals "dying", but if I couldn't rely on a mix of both my chart and muscle memory to track this material it'd take much, MUCH longer to get anything down. As mentioned in the description, I did three more tunes from three different artists that day--one of which was Pete P, a nightmare of a piece on par with "Bugz" in complexity--and they were all lengthy and difficult.

[@erikdesrosiers]

Masterpiece.

[@joshuabryson8819]

I'll check it out for sure thanks for the suggestion.

[@davinci46]

@travisorbin the part at 6:38 with the snare is ridiculously fast. So awesome

[@DarkPhantomSky]

Reading his descriptions always helps ;)

[@jackmiller004]

hey Travis, for your next video i think you should do the time lapse of the setup again but next time get a second angle going from behind the kit too!! :D amazing complex drumming as always man, always enjoy them

[@ghughghugh]

Fan-freaking-tastic!

[@Toshiki888]

Very nice ~~~~ Best sound~

[@kietey14]

I guess it's Anup's house that provides such great videos and awesome sound quality :D

[@xxraddrummerxx]

DUDE...i finally realized where I've seen that rug before. It's in my living room haha. (You start noticing these things when you've watched the vid so many times.)

[@inimicalODDITY]

I asked him that on his Wizardry Mind upload I believe, and he said it was simply because his Ref Pure kick was already nicely mic'd and his home studio or Oceanic, can't recall.

[@ShineDrums27]

4:46 is the most saucy drum fill ever recorded. i cant even handle it.

[@Yojimbo711]

awesome and complex stuff, gj!

[@neonblack88]

Incredible how far you have come and still incredible how good you started. Jay-Z asked you to do a gig yet? Even though your playing with "easier" technique in that video (Crossed hats), your playing has tightened up tremendously, like it could be any tighter.

[@TravisOrbin]

Hah, nah. Mr. Royster has that job well covered!

[@gabkalderon]

And I thought I played drums! Haha great work!!

[@ShayRise960]

love this

[@MrAncoy]

Great mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!

[@Fazizeh]

outstanding.

[@felixgarstka]

very cool stuff 😊

[@josephlargent1558]

Travis! Just thought id let you know that your videos made me a better drummer! Ever sense I started playing open-handed it hasn't been the same haha

[@SrG1K-UA]

Amazing

[@Shane-zo4mg]

4:46 sickest fill EVER!

[@MirkoFustinoni]

A bit late lol but does anyone know if this project has ever seen the light of day?
