Travis Orbin - Enemy Gods Session - "Extortion of the Soul"

linktr.ee/enemygods
Enemy Gods is the heavy metal solo project of Matt Marcel, from Worcester, MA. I was contacted in May of this year to contribute to this track. Very quick turnaround! The demo contained great placeholder/programmed drums, and I added some idiosyncrasies as per usual. Lots of fun, much slamming was done. I love all of the touches of odd time.

[@TinnyHidge]

[@AnthonyGhazel]

Fucking ripppping. Also, the Rock Looks look awesome!

[@PerfilDark]

Excellent performance, you are a machine Travis, very good band, greetings from Venezuela 💀🤟

[@WoPrulez]

Yes. Sir.

[@Swedish_Drummer]

Oh, FUCK YES!!!

[@etrain8885]

This absolutely rips dude! I see your metronome down there…is that all you have in your ears? Because I swear if you’re just reading music and slapping along to a metronome, you’re a machine

[@TravisOrbin]

Just the 'nome!

[@TravisOrbin]

Oh, and I have a 57 stuffed in the kick, and another under the snare.

[@Crackeneyes]

Really like it

[@v12kid]

well done bro! Sounds great

[@krenwregget7667]

Killer.

[@SockerConny80]

That opening gave me 'far beyond driven' era Vinnie Paul vibes

[@cdwizzerd]

damn, whats that wild thing on the bass drum?

[@TravisOrbin]

My 20" kick is 'nested' inside of a 24", and there's a heavy blanket atop it all to further reduce cymbal bleed into both kick mikes.

[@cdwizzerd]

@@TravisOrbin thanks heaps. when i record my drums, i use a trigger on my bass so super cool to learn about this. gotta say too, you are one of my favourite drummers (up there with Jimmy from the Pumpkins). your technical chops, part writing and approach to gear are all inspirational. you'll be un-surprised to know im rocking a blonde 20" kick too 😸

[@GregBatte]

Is that an ACD shaft on the Pearls?

[@TravisOrbin]

Indeed.

[@sabbylmao]

I see you're not wearing your usual Vratims, whats the new pair? Also curious about why you're using grip tape for your pedals here?

[@TravisOrbin]

I'm wearing the new DS-III model, they're great. Vratim also offers the grip tape, I've really taken to it. Looking forward to testing it out on the road.

[@Big_Dawg_69]

cute shorts orbs :P

[@metlheaddrumr]

Yo im a left handed drummer too

[@TravisOrbin]

I'm a 'righty.' I've trained my body to be able to lead with any limb or combination thereof.

[@metlheaddrumr]

@@TravisOrbin brilliant man that's skill
