Travis Orbin - Sky Eats Airplane - "Sound of Symmetry"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- 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

I miss this band.
Me too
Likewise
Thank you for actually having a musical theory background, not just playing by ear.
the new song sounds sooo good. Obviously, the whole album will be as well! Looking forward to it!
The drums in this song are absolutely insane...
Didn't expect anything less, this is amazing. I'm really excited for SEA's new material. Effing amazing job Travis.
most amazing drummer ive seen yet
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%.
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
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
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!
God damn Travis am I glad you tracked on this album. Your rolls are sick
Awesome! Loving the new sound. Can't wait to buy this album!
I love that fill leading into the cleaner part at 0:26 it really lets the drums cut through the mix.
the new kit sounds amazing!!!
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!
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.
wow this song is amazing
the orbination is on its way!
that would be so sick i love that song!! seconded!
NO WAY! This is sick! Great job man! To you and SEA!
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!
I love 2:29 to 2:45 It's amazing!!!
New set. Nice. Now we just need a complete video tour of your set.
Oh wow this sounds awesome
i love your ability to play so well with both hands sooooooooooo sic later keep them coming
@MrMasterindahouse Indeed. It's crazy that he's so consistent.
incredible song, innovative drumming.
Ever noticed the gigantic cheese smirk Travis get's on his face right at the end of this vid?. Makes me laugh everytime.
i totally love this!
Kickass set up, and set man!
I await the transcriptions oh sacred one!
ahhh so god damn goooood
Amazing I knew when you started writing with SEA there would be nothing but the sickness. The new SEA is the best SEA yet!
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?
this video has made me as giddy as a school girl lol GREAT SONGGG!!!!
thank you sir
this just made me appreciate this aong so much more
exellent job travis!!
@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.
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.
I
turn your drums up travis! i cant get enough of your playing.
Pearl..... Best hardware ever!
you are a machine man!!!!! awesome :-)
@haproductions01 yeah. they could be louder. but it's probably the sound SEA are after. self titled had reaaally quiet cymbals.
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!!!
damn man ur drumming is inspirational
you make it look so easy...
yess another amazing vid travis!
cant wait to see you guys with attila on the 16th@emos in austin tx!
if you see this before yall play, Plzzzz play some self titled stuff I love that album so much!
oh my god.. damn !!!!
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.
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
"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! =)
This sounds completely bad ass Travis. I def like the new SEA better with the new guys over the old :) Keep it comin man.
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.
I love this..
@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.
@kshayk0 haha that's interesting good catch I thought it was just the camera that moved
@CSavage321 nah, its a custom 19" ltd trx. he talks about it in his trx demo vid. check it out.
@zappafile its just a room mic its almost like a overhead in a way
@YogritMUN I think its the padding on the wall reflecting off. Travis wouldnt disrespect those lovely drums like that.
@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.
@markpopkie,
thanks for the clarification :P
It's a set-up called open stance, if I'm right in saying. It obviously works for him, he's a beast haha.
1:43 the hi-hat on the right just moved! :O
Dopest
never heard of this band but its fucking good
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?
i think it's safe to say that there won't be any drum cover videos of this song any time soon... if ever.
bryan and elliot share the clean vocal duties, sometimes switching between lead and harmony... just to clarify
full drum transcription?? you're a G. if you convince zack and lee to do a guitar transcription, i'll shit myself
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
@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.
@shaftninja Ah, ok. I just looked up what that means, and that's really cool. I'm going to have to mess around with that some day.
wow
@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.
Travis, did you march WGI or DCI? I just really admire your setup/approach.
@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
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!
@sanddybusum hah, that's the word! thanks
@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.
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!
And they both look like Jesus because they're godly.
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 :(
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?
1:18! 😳🤯
awesome drumming but i noticed one of your heads on the tom has a wrinkle in it. Is that on purpose?
omg guys look at how still his body is... such perfect form.. LOL
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.
@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...
Quality has to process give it an hour or 2 and it will be 720 or 1080p whatever he records in.
Seeing as you have a lot of odd meters (3/8,5/8), do you have the click going with no downbeat accent?
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.
@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
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...
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.
@shaftninja Even though I know this is kind of a late replay, I've been researching mono crush mic's, and how all of that's set-up, and I was wondering, what pre-amp/compressor/etc. is it running through.
Reason I'm asking is because I've got an SM7 lying around that I use for recording dirty vocals, but if I can find out a way to use it on my kit to make everything sound better, that'd be awesome.
16th note displacement: does that mean the pulse is moved forwards/backwards a sixteenth note?
@kingkilla100 Dang, nice eye!
@rockrule80 He has a 9 minute video talking about how his setup came to be, look it up.
