The title track off of our EP is a pretty disparate blend of heaviness and hooks. Out of the three tunes that we cut, I had the biggest impact--musically--on this one in particular. Some of the edits look a little jerky because we ended up removing a few figures after tracking.
Notes:
0:14 - 0:24, 1:08 - 1:09, 1:20 - 1:32, 2:11 - 2:17 -- Cymbals complement guitar
3:04 - 3:07 -- 3-16 metric modulation
3:41 - 3:44 -- Sixteenth-note displacement

the new song sounds sooo good. Obviously, the whole album will be as well! Looking forward to it!

@andrewheartsu 14 лет назад

Didn't expect anything less, this is amazing. I'm really excited for SEA's new material. Effing amazing job Travis.

@alfinut 13 лет назад

Travis, please for the sake of your SEA fans, release another song or two. You have no idea how bad I wanted Sound of Symmetry to be released as a full-length. If not then that sucks for me. Keep on rockin' man. You've got my support 100%.

@strfiter 14 лет назад

Thank you for actually having a musical theory background, not just playing by ear.

@slrnoise 14 лет назад

Hey Travis, I don't get why your videos don't have any more views than that. I think you're seriously underrated. Can't stop watching your vids, you're a great inspiration!

@XotopX 13 лет назад

Brilliant playing and tones.. I must say, listening to the album I realize how much more of a dynamic change the extra hat brings. Just the way you position the cymbals makes the mix sound much wider

@mgrobis 14 лет назад

The drums in this song are absolutely insane...

@higgyfoo 14 лет назад

my drumming has now been orbinated!! after wochin loads of ur vids over and over it just made me wanna use my left hand more! i thank u for being a crazy bastard!

@tn1drumr 13 лет назад

Dude, the greatest part is that you're site reading it! Man, I hope to get to that point one of these days. It's because of drummers like you that I refuse to say I'm good, haha I just tell people I know enough to say I can play hahahaha. Definitely subscribing bro. much love!

@fran1234567890 14 лет назад

most amazing drummer ive seen yet

@mgrobis 14 лет назад

0:59 to 1:19 is pure bliss. Love the rest of the song too but that part in particular makes me rewind it at least ten times before moving on, haha

@NathanSletner 13 лет назад

Hey Travis, a 1:36, I have always thought it sounded like he say's "defy potato." This has given birth to maybe the greatest band name idea ever.

@inimicalODDITY 14 лет назад

New set. Nice. Now we just need a complete video tour of your set.

@RandomTheMagicDragon 14 лет назад

Awesome! Loving the new sound. Can't wait to buy this album!

@Steambolt_ 14 лет назад

God damn Travis am I glad you tracked on this album. Your rolls are sick

@PatrickWard4 14 лет назад

I love that fill leading into the cleaner part at 0:26 it really lets the drums cut through the mix.

@mattwalker21 14 лет назад

Awesome! It's great to hear some new SEA material. The last album was fantastic and I'm sure this one won't disappoint either. Did you have a hand writing the whole tune itself or was it just the drum parts?

@Goddrum 14 лет назад

the new kit sounds amazing!!!

@maidenless_tarnished 13 лет назад

@hiney1 No that's the song that he's playing to. If you've ever listened to SEA, which I'm sure you have after watching this and being curious of you hadn't, that SEA uses synth beats in there songs. Kinda like...ummm...well, beats they made on a computer is the best way to explain it.

@LaserGlove 14 лет назад

NO WAY! This is sick! Great job man! To you and SEA!

@JohnnyReasons 14 лет назад

Kickass set up, and set man!

@DickR7 14 лет назад

Great stuff man, reminds me somewhat of that cyclamen session you did lol. Looking forward to the EP i ordered mine just a while ago.

@MattClineInspectallHomes1212 14 лет назад

i love your ability to play so well with both hands sooooooooooo sic later keep them coming

@funkbeastbasslover 14 лет назад

that would be so sick i love that song!! seconded!

@moreofmyselftokiII 14 лет назад

@jtz0 14 лет назад

incredible song, innovative drumming.

@DeliciousNubbs 14 лет назад

@MrMasterindahouse Indeed. It's crazy that he's so consistent.

@TsarDragon 12 лет назад

Oh wow this sounds awesome

@pearldrums091 14 лет назад

wow this song is amazing

@Bullring1 13 лет назад

There will always be arguments on videos like these over who is the best drummer in the world, who created what style, blah blah blah. The fact is, personally, there is no drummer I would rather WATCH drum then Travis Orbin. Ashit load of control backed up by regimented technique. It's just great to see.

@JensGDrums 14 лет назад

the orbination is on its way!

@NoStickTricks 14 лет назад

"Some of the edits look a little jerky because we ended up removing a few figures after tracking." I'm happy about every edits in your videos, because that makes you more of a human being.^^ God, you recorded stuff in one Track, where I would need like 30? :D You are sooo awesome, thanks for being such a inspirering drummer! =)

@vicfirthdrummer95 14 лет назад

I await the transcriptions oh sacred one!

@gsdbeats 14 лет назад

exellent job travis!!

@PoisoneDrummer 14 лет назад

i totally love this!

@skcuspar03 14 лет назад

Amazing I knew when you started writing with SEA there would be nothing but the sickness. The new SEA is the best SEA yet!

@higgyfoo 14 лет назад

i tell u wot... i just dont think i'm gona get sick of ur vids lol. the technique and thought that goes into them is unbelievable! u no wot u shud do tho? u shud put up a vid with loads of studio outtakes lol that'll make us all feel better about ourselves lmao

@PotatoBokChoy 14 лет назад

@IHaveALongPassword, correction, they have TWO new singers :) one of them does the screams and the other does the clean vocals. i believe the bass player is the clean vocalist :P

@HiramSeason2 14 лет назад

this just made me appreciate this aong so much more

@SamWerrell 14 лет назад

@YogritMUN I think its the padding on the wall reflecting off. Travis wouldnt disrespect those lovely drums like that.

@SebastianPersini 14 лет назад

you are a machine man!!!!! awesome :-)

@markpopkie 14 лет назад

everyone seems bummed about the lack of cymbals in the mix... but this sounds like the final ALBUM MIX, not a dedicated drum mix. it would sound weird if his cymbals were more present in the final mix... but maybe Travis or Taylor could put together an edit of this video with the drums forward and the final mix in the background so we could hear more of the detail in the performance...

@xoninmuoshda 12 лет назад

thank you sir

@inimicalODDITY 14 лет назад

@imdarrellkthx Actually, I read in an interview of his that he's been using the Zildjian Mike Mangini sticks for a while now because he likes the heavier weight.

@6x14ludwig1992 13 лет назад

Travis, I noticed on the Truth website that you're using a 16"x13" floor tom. Why did you go with that size and would you recommend it over a more traditional size (16"x16", 14"x14", etc.)? This song is great and you are a fantastic musician. Keep up the killer work!

@thejourneyofjake 13 лет назад

@theyhavepeabrains lol....the irony of the smug, know it all tone of your response is quite entertaining. If you knew the first thing about synthesized instruments you would also know that MIDI (the term i used in my question) is type of controller for synth sounds. I realize travis isn't playing those hihats, my question was whether the MIDI (or synthesized) hi-hats in the background are linked to triggers on his bass drum. i had another listen though and they arent, but it would be a cool idea

@thejourneyofjake 13 лет назад

@theyhavepeabrains *sigh* that's twice u've completely misunderstood me. "I also didn't say Travis was playing them"..where did that come from? I asked 2 questions in the beginning, midi hihats? triggers? u answered the 2nd question perfectly, thankyou. no triggers for the synth hihats. my 1st question clearly(obviously not clear enough for you) assumed i knew what MIDI instruments are. 99% of your response was a layman explanation of something i clearly already knew, hence, quite entertaining

@xifakex 14 лет назад

This sounds completely bad ass Travis. I def like the new SEA better with the new guys over the old :) Keep it comin man.

@Nostovia 14 лет назад

Ever noticed the gigantic cheese smirk Travis get's on his face right at the end of this vid?. Makes me laugh everytime.

@STICKYGE 14 лет назад

ahhh so god damn goooood

@jtz0 14 лет назад

@haproductions01 yeah. they could be louder. but it's probably the sound SEA are after. self titled had reaaally quiet cymbals.

@DeliciousNubbs 14 лет назад

I love 2:29 to 2:45 It's amazing!!!

@ameliorate2695 14 лет назад

are you guys auditioning singers? i cant wait to hear more stuff from sky eats airplane. and also i would wanna audition, but i dont exactly have the open schedule for that :(

@jayisamazazing 14 лет назад

i really want to try that set up now i have no idea how no one has ever thought of it it looks so smooth but i have a question r u righty or lefty

@thesilentcircus789 14 лет назад

turn your drums up travis! i cant get enough of your playing.

@mcchuff 14 лет назад

It's a set-up called open stance, if I'm right in saying. It obviously works for him, he's a beast haha.

@steveoler94 14 лет назад

damn man ur drumming is inspirational

@joebone848 14 лет назад

@CSavage321 nah, its a custom 19" ltd trx. he talks about it in his trx demo vid. check it out.

@xsonicassassinx 14 лет назад

@rhythmkeeper009 there are a couple really odd mics lying about. theres a spot mic sm81? on the china which is always plenty loud. the LDC on the ride makes sense, even if the ride is in a weird place. maybe in such a small room, the best spot for a room mic is there? i normally use a ribbon turned 90 degrees about 10 ft in front of the kit. theres not 10 ft in this iso booth.

@vicfirthdrummer95 14 лет назад

@cgarcia612 well yea he obviously has two. I just didn't pay enough attention to see that when the camera went to a different take at that point in the video just the right hi-hat moved a few inches forward. I just thought the whole camera moved like an inch cause I wasn't paying enough attention to see what really happened.

@vicfirthdrummer95 14 лет назад

this video has made me as giddy as a school girl lol GREAT SONGGG!!!!

@modernrodder 14 лет назад

@aiwahhappen I know he plays Truth on tour but he may be playing a Pearl Masterworks set since that what Taylor has in the studio.

@vicfirthdrummer95 14 лет назад

@PotatoBokChoy 14 лет назад

@markpopkie, thanks for the clarification :P

@CoreyScienza 13 лет назад

Everytime i watch this or his other sea vids, i cant help but scream on my head that some stuff in the set needs to come up in volume JUST a LITTLE! like the floor tom, sometimes you literally would never be able to hear it in some parts like at 3:01/ 3:02. Maybe he's going for that subliminal sound sort of effect, and i know you dont want it crazy loud and sounding super thudy through the mix, but at least let me know you hit it!!!

@MatrixSnareUC 14 лет назад

Travis, did you march WGI or DCI? I just really admire your setup/approach.

@markpopkie 14 лет назад

bryan and elliot share the clean vocal duties, sometimes switching between lead and harmony... just to clarify

@markswanmusic 14 лет назад

i think it might be the light, but i could be wrong. the other angle over the left hi-hats doesn't have a wrinkle.

@awesomelikeapossom 14 лет назад

But he works the hell out of it!!! He made me start using my left foot more on the slave pedal then just my right all the way through unless i need some double bass......He is a OUTSTANDING drummer and aint know where you can complain about that!!!

@beklawd 14 лет назад

@zappafile its just a room mic its almost like a overhead in a way

@dustinjames9224 11 лет назад

I love this..

@Sancho0330 14 лет назад

you make it look so easy...

@LaurensKuppens 13 лет назад

@rockrule80 He has a 9 minute video talking about how his setup came to be, look it up.

@itsDarrell 14 лет назад

@inimicalODDITY word man, thanks! I used to use these sticks that were red and they were like super tight mashay(sp) and they were so nice that ididnt have to buy new ones for like a year, and they stopped producing them.. wish I could remember the name.

@Jazzertron888 14 лет назад

full drum transcription?? you're a G. if you convince zack and lee to do a guitar transcription, i'll shit myself

@tdyngn 14 лет назад

It isn't the old singer was Jerry Roush and before that was Brack something. The new singer(s) are Elliot Coleman, also of Of Man Not Of Machine, and Bryan Zimmerman (Screamer). Elliot Coleman has an awesome voice. Bryan is gonna take some getting used too (screaming-wise) his cleans are nice though.

@vicfirthdrummer95 14 лет назад

@kshayk0 haha that's interesting good catch I thought it was just the camera that moved

@chicabownow 14 лет назад

Pearl..... Best hardware ever!

@bon2bonn 14 лет назад

Quality has to process give it an hour or 2 and it will be 720 or 1080p whatever he records in.

@jazzblasterrr 14 лет назад

awesome drumming but i noticed one of your heads on the tom has a wrinkle in it. Is that on purpose?

@BobbyVanStone 8 лет назад

chorus-type part at 0:26 has always been one of my favorite drum parts to listen to and learn to play! Glad I'm revisiting your videos right now. I'm just wondering why the cymbals are mixed down so quietly? guess the kick and snare are most important for this band desired style

@TravisOrbin 8 лет назад

Cheers! That was partly Taylor's mixing style back then and I also didn't hit the cymbals with as much gusto as I do now. It's important to keep a balance when recording, but everything still has to 'cut' and be present.

@thejourneyofjake 14 лет назад

0.59 are those midi high hats? do u have triggers on your bass drum to trigger them i can't tell? cos that would be cool! In fact i'm totally trying that!

@yarhalla 14 лет назад

oh my god.. damn !!!!

@xJoshuaKaix 14 лет назад

This may seem like an odd question, but is there any type of show you prefer to play in? I've always played barefoot, but i feel like that takes its toll on my feet and i have to play harder. I haven't found a shoe yet that allows enough movement and with light enough weight. any suggestions?

@byaaa619 13 лет назад

is it just me or is there a snare hit at like :33 or around there. that you didnt play? otherwise. my mind has been blown

@markpopkie 14 лет назад

i think it's safe to say that there won't be any drum cover videos of this song any time soon... if ever.

@hauntedzebra 14 лет назад

I love drums. I live hours from any sort of music scene. (In Vernon, BC, Canada) Any suggestions?

@NoobTheShow24 14 лет назад

@tdyngn Awesome! I was worried that he was gonna suck but he's actualy REALLY good! I think that I have a version of him singing Long walks on short bridges. When I heard it, i though that it was just a demo, but it sounds exacly like the singer in this song soo...

@stonesec 14 лет назад

did you really tiger uppercut on this song for the recorded part on the album?

@drummachine5787 14 лет назад

Seeing as you have a lot of odd meters (3/8,5/8), do you have the click going with no downbeat accent?

@duckattak 14 лет назад

wow

@sink009 14 лет назад

So this might sound kind of dumb, but what is a random SM7 doing sitting behind the kit at the level of the kick? Being a dynamic mic, I wouldn't think it'd work too well as a room mic, and it's kind of on the wrong side to do much for the kick.

@DiGgfReAk 14 лет назад

inspiring...is that a room mic behind him..thats weird

@DeliciousNubbs 13 лет назад

16th note displacement: does that mean the pulse is moved forwards/backwards a sixteenth note?

@marleychanson4728 10 месяцев назад

Still coming back to this vid after 13 years! What is the time signature of the breakdown after the short guitar solo starting at 2:45? I'm stumped haha

@TravisOrbin 9 месяцев назад

4-4, 5-8, 5-4, 6-4, 9-8

@kshayk0 14 лет назад

1:43 the hi-hat on the right just moved! :O

@Jardefendi 14 лет назад

Are those the Vic Firth Stereo Iso's or just the regular Iso's?

@slrnoise 14 лет назад

Hey travis, what's that switch-looking thing on the top of your high hat? Could it be something that sets it quickly so that you can change the opening during a song or something?

@itsDarrell 14 лет назад

DUDE, are you using those like mashay(SP) sticks??? If so I cant find them ANYWHERE!!

@BrokenArrowSnare 14 лет назад

Travis, I would like to know what drum heads you use. I need new ones very badly, and i'm still not positive on what I like. The percussion instuctor at my school is endorsed by Evans and he said Evans Generic 2 coated or REMO penstripe. I'd just like another opinion from someone that is specifically from this type of music.
