Travis Orbin - Periphery Playalongs - "Ow My Feelings" & "All New Materials"

[@krenwregget7667]

when not defending Sparta from Persian hordes, King Leonidas spends his free time cutting drum tracks for various metal bands.

[@TheDrummerKick2]

Diggin lol

[@Kennethhaolai]

😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣

[@subj3ctt0chang3]

Forever one of my favorite drummers, Orbinator.

[@TravisOrbin]

Many thanks!

[@LimpBizkitDrummer]

Mine too

[@BSeffDrumVidz]

Man, you've gotten pretty freakin' massive haha

[@oui2611]

2:47-3:27 favorite part, that transition from the syncopated rhythm to that groove is so good

[@PLAZ1990s]

I can't believe you post all of the drum transcriptions of all of these songs man. I've really never seen someone so gracious to want to share their work like that for free! You truly inspire me. My leg is still struggling to keep up in Icarus Lives after all these years that have gone by since you made that Juggernaut video.

[@Leviplaysdrums]

Trav!!! Those "right-side pedal hat fills in 16th rests" are actually insane. You're beyond a winner

[@metrotect]

Honestly this guy is one of the most creative drummers I've seen in a while

[@TroyDawdy]

That china is something I'm definitely going to check out sometime. Killer work Orbinator.

[@P40l0C0nt3]

Glad to see that the "All New Materials" spider is still on your bassdrum!

[@trafalgerdavis7839]

That bass drum pattern is very hypnotic. A very interesting time signature too. Great stuff here.

[@patrickcasao8597]

these songs were the very reason why i discovered The Orbinator and Periphery. love your periphery playthroughs!

[@Carnstein]

Ah you make it look so effortless!

[@Dextronaut1]

Great stuff!! So glad that your doing more periphery playalongs!! 😁

[@mtxrules]

you look like a Viking on the kit haha. awesome play through! cheers

[@TravisOrbin]

Cheers! Valhalla!

[@adsdfadfs]

Wow haven't checked your vids in a minute and you are lookin RIPPED my dude

[@TravisOrbin]

I partake in the hoisting of heavy objects regularly and have grown lumps as a result. Strange!

[@adsdfadfs]

Travis Orbin S W O L E L U M PS

[@paralasalud]

are you a strongman competitor?? or powerlifting perhaps?

[@TravisOrbin]

Nope, just a bodybuilder.

[@drumdelorean7341]

I bet those Hardimons feel like 7a's now hahaha

[@nopegoodluck420]

Truly inspirational, Orbin sir. *salutes* What a great way to start my morning.

[@TravisOrbin]

Cheers pal!

[@ethtt]

This made me so happy.

[@TehJaytius]

Dude the two 19" crashes sound so good I almost don't want you to go back to 19/18 haha. I'm so glad you're still doing these videos when you get the time. They're such a valuable insight into your evolution as a player. Seeing how much you led with your left food and chicked the right side hats or the way you composed fill-ins compared to your more recent playing is very interesting indeed.

[@TravisOrbin]

Thanks pal! I'm really feelin' 'em. With session stuff it always depends on the music, but as for solo work I'm thinking this is gonna be the setup for 'Finite II' -- might trade out the china for the K, we'll see.

[@TravisOrbin]

Oh yah, forgot to mention the first time I tried it is when I started recording the second DIG full-length last year. Adam and Paul (bassist) came down from NYC and did some experimentation. We ended up using the 19/19 on quite a few tunes and I grew to love it from there.

[@Spvrky_614]

2 of my favorite songs by them! ❤🤘🙌

[@codycookmedia]

I admire your precision! Mix sounds great too!

[@johnpeter3167]

Looking jacked Travis damn. Nice cover by the way.

[@mellindrums]

I see that playing with the heaviest Vic Firth sticks ever is paying off! lol

[@mellindrums]

Those Ralph Hardimon sticks (that Travis uses) are made from the same sta-pac wood as MS4s and they have bigger diameters which makes them heavier.

[@Slipstream0001]

Just fantastic mate. Hats off to you.

[@julikodoido]

Congrats my friend!!! Very nice job

[@WhelanDrums]

Outstanding Tavis. RESPECT!

[@DANISH114]

Thank you Travis, these are killer!!

[@TravisOrbin]

Appreciate your viewership.

[@chrismusicx]

I love how all your Periphery materials are old versions/ old songs. Good stuff

[@megadrummerwish]

Didn't know that Hulk can play drums! :O You're crazy man!

[@25stealthshooter]

lol massive beard massive arms, and massive production dude! Nothing better than one periphery, except maybe their old drummer. Love the vids

[@mathcoreable]

Amazing coordination, tightness and taste with amazing sound, What more can you ask from Alpha Destiny

[@TravisOrbin]

Many thanks!

[@drinkinouttacups2665]

Lmao

[@charlieglennevansjr]

Amazing playing as always sir!

[@DefkalionDs]

New video, two playalongs and the (much bigger O.o \m/) hulk arm strikes again!? Best morning ever.

[@TravisOrbin]

:D

[@miroslavkaspar2246]

I just noticed the Spider. Scared the shit outa me. Damn you :D

[@STFXLMNS]

THIS.IS.SPARTAAAAA!

[@MaRioAKAXboX360]

WHERE THEM SQUAT AND DEADLIFT VIDS AT BOI

[@TravisOrbin]

Meh. There are plenty of those on YT and IG.

[@MarcoFerlito]

Respect Sir Travis "Arma Letale" Orbin \m/

[@Knaven85Perth]

Love that you're pumpin out more of the P1 covers..... I can't play any of 'em - but been patiently waiting to see how it's done. The ~2.50 section particularly for omf. Looking fwd to the insomnia release

[@TravisOrbin]

Insomnia is out, cheers!

[@mendietadrums]

Fucking great man, you're incredible.

[@DrumFFx]

christ the whole thing is SICK all new materials fucking RIPS love it .. chills the whole time

[@andrewmilbankdrums]

I love you for this, it gives me life

[@youts1000]

dude I love the way you use your pedal hat to fill the gaps in between the kickdrums ❤

[@P.dripps92]

Love your improv on the playthroughs

[@WhirlwindDrums]

0:30 the hi hat foot melody over a half time 4/4 groove is some of the tastiest drum parts I've heard on record in metal

[@mijikle]

Good to see a new video and all, but never mind about that... cudo's on that fresh Jack Burton tank!

[@TravisOrbin]

FINALLY, someone points it out!

[@PutuAdi_id]

mmmm... so good....

[@Ninosmusic]

I love the fact you read this shit realtime, wow man.

[@951258tike22]

cymbals sound magical here, as well as the overall recording quality! playing's not shabby either :p

[@TravisOrbin]

Thankya kindly!

[@necster2]

Killing it as always!

[@StephenDanielAddeo]

Sick covers!

[@Crazen2]

Glad to see one of the gods of Internet drumming return, you literally look like a God too, those shoulders :O.

[@TravisOrbin]

Hehe, thankya kindly

[@raifaustino]

Lookin buff bro. Drumplaying awesome as usual!

[@autotheist]

BRING BACK OF LEGENDS

[@TravisOrbin]

That rests in Luis's hands!

[@autotheist]

Travis Orbin aw travis man you know that would be so sick brother!

[@rohanraj4163]

TRAVIS LIFTIN'

[@callumrutter1635]

Awesome covers! And you've got massive all of a sudden lol

[@OwenMcKinley]

Callum Rutter These aren't covers, but yes; they are awesome. Travis' drumming is unparalleled.

[@HugoStiglitz88]

That hi hat pedal work is crazy

[@badoocee1967]

Orbinator?? Sounds most appropriate. Great talent brother. Keep up all the hard work.

[@jhcarloscrrzm.2828]

Travis Master Sensei Spartan Orbin Fucking Awesome !!!!!

[@TravisOrbin]

Who told you my full name?

[@Uaarkson]

I forgot how owning Ow My Feelings was

[@bohdaaanek]

badass and short hair! dig it!

[@misterpgallagher]

I am thinking the new Travis Orbin has eaten the old one. This dude is ripped.

[@TravisOrbin]

Dude needed lots of spices.

[@GuyDudeBuddyFriend]

That linear fill at 1:51 is soooo tasty!

[@adam.oakley]

Would love to see a video on your drum recording and mixing technique, sounds huge!

[@TravisOrbin]

I focus on tuning and playing my ass off. I'm fortunate to have a close friend in Taylor Larson who sets me up with badass templates. I'll mess with leveling and some minor EQ from there, but a lot of it is in his (capable) hands.

[@PerfilDark]

Wow, you Could become one of my favorite drummers. Teach us that score. Greetings from Venezuela.

[@thatdudekyle5690]

That China cymbol sounds amazing. Travis Orbin is a Fucking machine.

[@ArturDrums]

the K dry china😍😍 Love since the first hit

[@BSeffDrumVidz]

AWESOME AWESOME

[@dagerhabidsnakeskin1540]

my head... the kick drum... but AMAZING!

[@Tyrian0101]

Sticks are size of tree trunks. So much power with such little effort!

[@knpwrs]

Travis, you need to make some workout videos. Maybe a guest appearance over at BuffDudes.

[@TravisOrbin]

Haha, that'd rule. Those guys are funny.

[@MirkkoDeMaio]

You'r getting huge bro! Great playing as always aaaaannnnd for the god's sake put a sand bag on that china cymbal stand :D

[@MirkkoDeMaio]

Uhm...i saw in the video the cymbals stand is moving a lot :) Anyway, awesome as always!

[@morpheusdokis175]

do all of them man this is amazing

[@chicozero]

Man, I love these playalongs! I hope you do "Letter Experiment" next! :)

[@behindthen0thing525]

Your mom

[@MixYourWay]

Travis! I'd just like to know....would you be part of Periphery again in the future if you guys wanted? Some years ago i remember reading something like "if the band would not have gone so famous " you would've kept on going. Why? I'm sure they also love what you do, i mean...I'm pretty sure that you could take them into a whole next level! Give it a shot!!!! :D!

[@TravisOrbin]

I've never said that. I've been asked this question a host of times and my response, invariably, is if the band's dynamic has changed and they've embraced a more collaborative spirit then I'd certainly consider it.

[@gonadiator]

how much you shoulder pressin?

[@TravisOrbin]

With my current routine I do 10 sets (6 containing supersets) of isolation movements before I even get to presses, so not much as I'm quite pre-exhausted; I max at 70lb dumbbells. I have clean and pressed (twice) 185, but I very rarely do that motion.

[@Melancholia1991]

Travis Orbin My man. Super sets and negative reps are killer

[@deadeyes2803]

@@TravisOrbin respekt

[@dugless421]

dope tank dude!

[@TravisOrbin]

Haha thanks broseph! Someone else notices.

[@surajmaugi]

Did you convert to a Cyborg ? I was aware of that but now I have the confirmation. GG dude !

[@WeSLeYxMaNTooTH]

So Good still, miss periphery drum parts like the ones you orbinated

[@Hopeisgone6709]

bela criatividade parabéns

[@TravisOrbin]

Felicidades!

[@VitaE4Life]

That China cymbal sounds massive! How does it hold up to the sticks you use? I been thinkin of upping the weight of mine and i want my cymbals to last

[@canaldeisaias]

Awesome! So much technique 🥴

[@ท่องนภาเดียวดาย]

4:19-4:54 beautiful 🥰 and all part of this song is my favourite. 👍😁

[@SimonFicken]

Hey Travis, what's going through your cans while you track something like this? Are you hearing a whole mix of your drums and/or the song, or just a click track? Maybe both? great video, thanks.

[@TravisOrbin]

I've two SM57s (one in my kick, one under my snare) going into my mixer/click -- that's it!

[@TehSeanRadcliffe]

hey! when playing left-leading parts, do you have to think about it? or is it just automatic the same way playing with your right is, did you start off being really conscious of playing lefty then eventually it became automatic? i've started trying to strengthen my weak limbs and some insight would be really appreciated, anyone else know if he's spoken about this before, maybe in his forum or something? ? ? thnx

[@TravisOrbin]

When learning/rehearsing parts it isn't much of a challenge, but when improvisin, I'm still more fluid with my right hand leading. The feet do not matter, which is strange.

[@perpetualgrimace]

It's funny, Periphery 1 totally changed the way I thought about and approached music. But listening to these old tunes, they feel incredibly immature compared to anything the band has done from Periphery 2 on, despite the insanely tight and creative drumming (as always)! As much as I love Matt Halpern for his nonstop tasty grooves, I really would love to hear a parallel universe recording of Periphery where Travis stuck around. Especially with Nolly handling the production.

[@TravisOrbin]

Speaking as an outsider, it could be due to the fact that the band embraced more of a collaborative spirit post-debut. I'm pretty certain every song on the debut was written by Misha, excluding "Racecar" (Misha/Jake). I'd love to work with Nolly.

[@behindthen0thing525]

The old songs have a special feeling that the new ones don't, a special vibe. Travis's drumming is a big part of it. Plus the original songs didn't have any filler riffs for repeating vocal lines. Just pure instrumental freedom

[@salancijan]

My favorite drummers-----snare......

[@mmansour1]

you're fucking insane. i love it

[@Slipstream0001]

Hey Travis, amazing playing as always. I wanted to ask something about the way you hold the stick... I always notice you've got a fair bit coming out the back of your hand... do you do this consciously or is that the way you've always played? Or do you have really long sticks?

[@TravisOrbin]

I play long sticks but it mostly has to do with the way I've trained my playing muscles, which is entirely wrist-driven.

[@Bcwilderness]

yo travis, slamming beats as per, do you tweak your drum tunings much kick snare pitch etc, love the kick is it a 20, do you use any samples over kit, curious, respect

[@TravisOrbin]

Yep, all the time--depends on the session/project. No samples.

[@RandomlnternetGuy]

I feel like you're a very focused person outside of your profession as well as in it.

[@TravisOrbin]

That might be fair to say.

[@matthewcox9636]

Have you covered any of the contortionist? Ps, been a big fan of yours for a good long while. Still crushing it

[@TravisOrbin]

Sorry, no interest. Cheers!

[@WinterGibbs]

FUCKING SHREDDED DAFUQ

[@MapexRG]

Travis Big

[@drumboarder1]

I know you're going through the tracks you had influence on but would there be a chance of you doing a newer song of theirs? Their first album was their best by far but it would be awesome to hear your take on The Bad Thing or something

[@TravisOrbin]

Naaahhhh

[@drumboarder1]

Fair nuff

[@kriskenard]

Long Live The Orbinator! Looking forward to new Darkest Hour~

[@TravisOrbin]

It's out, go peep it! Thankya!

[@jayheevlogs]

Wish you played their new material also

[@behindthen0thing525]

He wouldn't want to embarrass Matt

[@CartoonTheory]

Ow my feelings is an unreal track with your drumming! ho Orbo what is this Japanese tee shirt ? ;')

[@TravisOrbin]

Big Trouble in Little China!

[@CartoonTheory]

Les Aventures de Jack Burton dans les griffes du Mandarin in french is so worship movie !!! ;-)

[@sneakylanky]

Full ORBINATION! haha

[@TravisOrbin]

Yo! Nice to hear from ya, man.

[@sneakylanky]

good to see another badass video from you dude! hope we get a nice reunion soon. hope you are very well my friend!

[@TravisOrbin]

Very same to you!

[@DioGhark]

aww ye boiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 2:57

[@infinitisma6162]

iiiYES!!!

[@YouthDrummer]

That china sounds amazeballs! Would u recommend it for live loud shows?

[@TravisOrbin]

I haven't use it in a live setting but depending on the music, sure. It's loud, it just decays quickly.
