Hear how ACCURATE Scott Travis ACTUALLY is live | Judas Priest Reaction

- Scott Travis of Judas Priest is a machine! Together with him Judas Priest were able to take their speed and aggression to an absolutely new level with Painkiller, which drum intro is still on of the most iconic intros to a Heavy Metal song. And in addition he is of course one of the nicest guys in Heavy Metal.
And today, 33 years after he joined the band it is virtually impossible to imagine a Judas Priest concert without Scott behind the kit. So what we can do today is take a look at some of the isolated drum parts, performed by Scott Travis with Judas Priest live, see how accurate he is when playing live in front of thousands of people, and then discuss a little something about his playing style overall, seeing if he is actually as great as people say. Spoiler: YES!

I did. It rocked!
Unless they come back to Regina for a show and if they do. I will have to set up another charity photo shoot with them. I've met Scott twice and he is one hell of a nice guy and funny
Great vid. Dude so good to see you are still debriefing. Fuck Russia. Go Ukraine!!!!!
We just saw them Friday night in Baton Rouge, LA. One of the best Priest shows I've seen. 🤘😝🤘
Saw them live only once back in 2012 in Kyiv.
Hes absolutely awesome and fits Priest perfectly!!! He makes it look effortless and easy, but he POUNDS!! Awesome drummer!
Agree 100%.
The fact that he played with the machine Paul Gilbert in racer x is enough to tell how good he is
Don't forget he had to keep up with Juan Alderete, too. Guys a beast
I was lucky to get to see priest for the second time just a month ago, and Scott was insanely good as per usual. The whole band blows me away but as far as drummers go, Scott's one of the best.
Massively underrated
I’ve seen Priest several times over the years, and Scott hits everything perfect, every single time.
Not only is he outstanding technically, but he really brings a lot to the band with his stage presence. The dude is like 10 feet tall, and his kit just dominates the stage. I never saw Les Binks - he was before my time, but I saw Dave Holland with Priest and in my opinion there's just no comparison. Holland looked like he was at work, whereas Scott looks like he's having fun. I'm a drummer, been playing for 40 years. What he's playing ain't easy, He just makes it look easy.
Leslie Binks was technically very slick. But the power that Scott Travis brings to the drumkit is something else. As for Dave Holland, I personally feel that he was punching well above his weight being in Judas Priest !! 😊
Scott is an awesome drummer..!!! His work w Priest is nothing short of perfection. When u see them live, it's hard to take your eyes off him because he's stylistic. There's NOBODY sitting behind a kit that can could replace him. His double pedal is like thunder. And having his kit set up to play both left & right handed gives him advantages that are unparalleled. I've seen Priest 39 times live now. And twice on this 50 Heavy Metal Years Tour. I can not envision see them w/I Scott. He is the Metal God of drummers. .!!!
Shout out to everybody in Judas Priest for their R-N-R Hall induction. Richie, you got robbed. You should be there too. !
And to Rob Halford... THE GREATEST VOICE IN ALL OF MUSIC...!!!
And last but not least... metal Pilgrim. Great channel. Be safe brother. Keep the Faith.
Oh, I love Scott! I saw him lots of times in Racer X. An in-depth video on his early days would be great! 🤘🏼
I played with Scott in the band HOOKER back in the 80's. He was that good then and an excellent business person. If you looked at his drum heads you would notice a very small spot where he hit. All around great guy. Still plays with his friend when he's home
Les Binks was always my favorite Priest drummer, tbh. Scott has them all with technical ability, but Les' drum lines were just tasty.
He only played in one album, get over it
This man IS the painkiller
Les was the fluid like water, Scott is rigid like steel. Both great but I agree, Les wrote the tastiest lines, and swung it with a human touch, and creative feel that was just the tastiest.
@@BornToShred6900 ╚╬╝
@@BornToShred6900 Les Binks played on "Stained class" and "Killing Machine" and also on the live output "Unleashed in the east". You possibly name this 2 1/2 albums ;-), but definitely not "one" ;-).
Scott is definitely my favorite out of all the priests drummers
He is one of the most solid live drummers ever! What's on the album is what you see at a live show! I’m a huge FAN!
I just watched him live tonight. They are all badass legends and true gentlemen.
For my money Scott Travis is the quintessential Heavy Metal drummer. He’s fast, groovy, technical when the need arises and he’s so precise!
Scott Travis is one of the Best in the Business of Rock 'n' Roll .
I have met him, & bumped into him once or twice, and he also seems to be a really cool person ... .
Long live Scott !
I saw them when they were supporting the “Redeemer of souls” album and they were phenomenal. I’m somewhat of an amateur drummer myself so when I attended at a live concert, I always pay attention to what the successful musicians do live on stage as much as it is possible during a professional gig with all the lights, smoke, stage choreography etc. Scott was beating like a Swiss watch, undistinguishable from the studio albums drum parts. Humble and nice guy, handsome, athletic, hardworking, and goddamn hellfire when he starts playing. Other drummers that leave me speechless in this regard are Tommy Aldridge and the former Gamma Ray drummer Daniel Zimmerman
Scott Travis is the best drummer Judas Priest has ever had and is a Mount Rushmore metal drummer. People who either don’t “get” drumming/music or are simply contrarians/elitists will say he “lacks feel” which… is both false, and ridiculous. He is technically gifted and stylistically brilliant. Les Binks is a close second to Scott Travis, another drummer with technical ability and finesse. Les, like Scott, was also very creative. Dave Holland was never terribly creative. He sat complacently under the music. It was enough with four juggernauts in the band, but Travis (and Binks) both elevated Priest, particularly Travis for the past 30+ years.
I’ve seen and felt his next-level drumming live many times with priest. Perhaps people are saying “too technical” because he’s so great that Priest songs are easy for him; it looks almost effortless. But that is true of any master of their craft ( Jimmy chamberlain, vai, yngwie, maxim vengeroff ). If you’re unsure about S.T., maybe listen to Racer X, plus Scott’s the nicest guy .
Painkiller...we have a new drummer! Scotty, please introduce yourself to everyone!
I remember hearing Painkiller for the first time and said "It sounds like Priest, but Dave Holland isn't this fast. Either Priest got a new drummer or this is a different band"
Such a memorable intro to Painkiller, he's F'in awesome 🤘😜.
Listen Ram it down live in 1988, its faster than anything on Painkiller.
Metal meltown isn't that faster than Rapid fire or Exciter.
Its just the compression of kicks and few divisions triplets that gave that impression.
I thought exactly the same thing the first time I heard Painkiller. Then I learned it was the same guy who used to be in Racer X. Scott is as a good a drummer as they come and fits perfectly in Priest.
@@Toddzilla1967 Yes he does. JP is the first band that I was aware of him. He brings new life back into the classic tunes.
@@Toddzilla1967 Painkiller is a slow track, maybe if you said Leather Rebel i'd agree.
Another great new "Accurate Isolated Track" video. I knew of Scott pre Priest. And I thought that he was going to be a huge step up for the band. It's awesome how long he's been with them and how much a big part of it all he is. And a big YES on a Scott Travis video.
Thanks, my friend!
I'd just like to add another big YES as well!
it was a step backwards imo and left a lot of priest fans wondering wtf they were thinking
One of the best, i love Scott playing. And dont forget Dave Holland, he was a great drummer that was with Priest in their golden years, RIP.
I've known Scott for many years. As Drummer world once said about Scott, he is the drummer's drummer. He can play any goove in any time signature. He is always on top of the beat, in the pocket and can drive the hell out of the beat. He really understands a drum kit and which cymblas to use based on the size of the concert hall.
There is only one drummer I know of who is at Scott's talent level. That is Senri Kawaguchi. She is the best female drummer in the world. She is as smooth and as flawless as Scott is when it comes to being a drummer. In asia, she is known as the princess of manyy strokes.
Anyway, when Scott lived here in Norfolk, he played in several local bands, even while he was with Judas Priest to keep tuned up. The funny thing is that in the local groups he played with, most of the music he played would be considered classic rock. Scott and the bands he played with could pack the house, but unfortunately, the lead singer he had was using the microphone stand as a crutch to keep himself balaced to keep from falling off the stage due to all the alcohol he consumed in between sets. I can't remember the singer's name, but Scott always said that if he wasn't a drunk, his singer was one of the best singers and guitarists he had ever seen.
One little known fact about Scott is that he, also, worked at the Mars music store in Virginia Beach while he was with Judas Priest. He helped a number of other drummers improve their skill levels.
He's awesome and he's a homeboy Norfolk VA representing... Scott Travis
My favourite rock drummer. Everything he plays, every beat, every fill, is exactly what the song needs. Wish I could find a drummer like him; when I write a drum part, I try to imagine what he would play.
Scott is the Nicko McBrain of Judas Priest. The difference being that he came along later, and was younger. But he's exactly what they needed when they needed him, and he elevated the band.
A big thumbs up on the Travis video - stay safe over there we're all praying for you bro 🤘
These isolated bits r awesome man !!!
Scott Travis grew up listening to Priest. And he pays homage to his predecessors by staying true to the songs they played on ,while doing his own thing with them.
Saw them last night. He’s a phenom. Both drummers last night Slayed it.
My favorite drummer. Always sounds fantastic.
I live here in Virginia Beach VA and I've met Scott a few times since Norfolk is right beside VB and he is indeed a friendly down to earth bloke! Super drummer! A machine! We are proud of him here in Virginia!
I'll tell you my favorite drummers are cozy Powell John Bonham Ian pace Neil Peart. To me they're all on the number one class. And when I saw Scott Travis with priest 30 years ago and even recently I've been to a lot of Judas Priest concerts. I got to say after seeing him he was the best drummer I've ever seen. Totally underrated the man is a killing machine on those drums. I'd like to see him get the recognition he deserves.
he's one of the very, very best. different entirely to Dave Holland, and brings new life to Dave's drum parts.
BTW, Diamond Head and Saxon were absolutely brilliant on Monday. We were sat right above Brian Tatler so could have a close up of his wizardry :-)
I've posted some of the highlights from Saxon's set if you're interested (sorry for the advert - delete my post if it's not appropriate 🙂)
Thanks man, will check it out!
I was always a big Les Binks fan and I think they missed that technical playing when Les left. Scott just takes it to a whole new level. Lucky enough to have seen Les, Dave and Scott. Let’s not forget Scott’s Racer X days.
he is missing the groove,more drum machine-ish.........Dave Holland played exactly what needed to be played,perfectly and live he was a beast.......no fancy b/s,just delivered the goods
We would love to see more about Scott Travis!
My heart is with the DAVE HOLLAND PRIEST . I like Scott and think he is a great guy ,I also respect everybody’s opinion
The answer is "yes" he is that good. Seen him live three times and the guy is a beast.
In my personal opinion (I'm a drummer myself) there's only one drummer who really knows and understands what rock drumming is all about, and that's Scott.
On of my favorite drummers , and I will be attending priest 2 nights here in San Antonio Texas next week
saw JP last year for the first time at the age 60 ..also a drummer ..Scott is AMAZING!!!
He is a great drummer and gave Priest what they missed for years also if had great drummers. Their sound has improved too.much.
He took priest to a HEAVY metal band. They were great before, but listen since Painkiller. He took them to a place they couldn't go without him.
love his drumming!!
I saw Priest on the 50th anniversary tour at Toyota Center in So. Cal. Awesome!! Hope to see KK back in the lineup!
dave holland started out great on his first couple records but towards the end of his time with priest it often looked like he was inches away from spontaneously combusting. scott always looks happy and chill.
Dave was “just okay” as a drummer, which is all JP needed with the rest of the band’s ability. Scott Travis and Les Binks both elevated Priest.
@@SamPlaysBass49 oh absolutely. les is my personal favorite. sucks he didn’t stay. scott’s awesome too so i’m not complaining haha
that couldve been internal drama in the band
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 yeah. halford said something like they needed a better, faster, more modern drummer and dave wasn’t happy about that. halford touched on it briefly in his first autobiography.
@@SamPlaysBass49 you don't play with Judas Priest or Glenn Hughes, Trapeze and Tony Iommi just beign an okay drummer.
As a drummer this video is amazing
In late 1985 just before Scott moved from Virginia Beach to Los Angeles, he booked a friday night in a studio I was working at, Magic Traxx studio. I knew who he was then but, hadn't heard him play yet. He blew me away that night. He took that demo tape with him to LA. He really did just want to be the drummer for Judas Priest. The venue that he wanted to set up and play in the parking lot was Hampton Coliseum in Hampton Virginia on the Screaming for Vengeance tour. He really is that good and has been for a very long time. A few years later I was running sound for another band in the area Teasia, their drummer was Eddie Shultz. Scott and Eddie grew up together and learned to play drums together. It was amazing how similar their style of playing was. Scott is truly one of the greatest of all time and a thrill for me to work with him on that tape. \mXm/
I had the privilege of meeting Scott years ago wile him and Rob played in Fight!! Hes truly a great guy and definitely the Beast of Drummers!!!!
Most of all these songs were originally done by previous JP drummers...but Scott is a very good drummer.
Scott does justice to all the old drum parts recorded by Dave Holland, Les Binks, Alan Moore and John Hinch,, while at the same time kicks ass on everything from the Painkiller album onward.
Do it yup a scott travis pre preist would be brilliant....😄🫡
Best drummer preist has ever had....
You need to start a Fight / Halford series!!! 🙏😎
We all know there's plenty of meat in there!!! 🤘😎
He is simply perfect with pure talent. Amazing live performances along with awesome technical ability.
His work with Racer X is his best work.
Scott Travis saved Judas Priest. Without him, they would not have survived the 80s.
Scott Travis the best rock drummer , There's no doubt about it 💀💀🤘👏👏
Yes please, we would like to have a Scott Travis origin story episode.
Travis is a time keeping machine !!! Great drummer to see !!
went to see them at the toyota oakdale in connecticut scott was amazing and so was everyone else (i even got a pick from richie)
I saw Judas Priest in 1979 or 1980 at Pekin Arena in Pekin Illinois. I think tickets were about $8. The guy rode a Harley on stage to kick off the concert. That was a great concert. That's the line up I think of as Judas Priest.
Judas Priest's Scott Travis is one of the best metal drummers of all time. No doubt!
HELL YES SCOTT IS THAT GOOD
30 years since" Caliber". Reminds me back then one night setting up for a show. I notice Scott has mounted a fire extinguisher to his base drum. WTF I remember thinking lol. At the end of his solo. He suddenly rises up with 2 timpani mallets soaked in alcohol and on FIRE beating the hell out of his drums until one flies across the bar room (still on fire) landed in pitcher of beer I think. Forgot about thanks.
heck yes Scott is an awesome drummer
Would love to hear the Scott Travis story!
How cool it must be to be playing in a band that for years you dreamed of playing in???
Yes. He is that great!
More Scott travis pls!
I saw Priest in NYC in October 2022.
Scott is the absolute best
I play in an AC/DC and Priest band and Scott being a friend plays with us from time to time. We've been friends for 22 years and he's a really really funny guy...but don't let that out. :) That is a really old stick BTW....He only gives out played sticks.
He's good but i prefer Dave Holland. Watch Priest live at US Festival 1983, Holland was on fire.
I say do an episode of Scott Travis. He is and has been the perfect badass for Judas Priest. Stay safe. You rock ! Slava Ukrainei ! 🤘🏻❤️🤘🏻stay safe! JP and Queensryche in Dallas, Tx Friday Nov 25🔥🎤🫵🏻👽🤘🏻
He does his job.
Do it!!
Utilization symbols, during double bass triplets, off the charts. Racer-x at young age travis already stellar". Closures off the charts as well.
My dad has one of his sticks too!
must agree he his one of the best in the world pure class
I got to see him with Racer x he is one of the baddest dudes out there still
Great drummer
First heared him in Racer X. Plays like machine...
What program did you use to isolate the drums?
He's from my home town.
Sorry I mistook the name for Travis Scott >< That drumming is so enjoyable
Over 150 comments, and no-one commented on the "do it!" at 3:28 ? 😆
Dissident aggressor is the best thrash song to come from heavy metal band , as a slayer fan the first time I heard the song was on the south of heaven album .
With Travis priest returned to what they had with Les Binks.. I see them as equals.
Scott Travis cut his teeth with Racer X...its no wonder he's such a bad ass.
Painkiller, the ultimate test of any Judas Priest drummer.
👊
You should check out Scott's drumming on any RacerX live stuff and then you wouldn't even bother asking this question :)
Note to aspiring drummers:
Put the work in
I think he is awesome drummer
I know Priest had some good drummers in the past but Scott Travis is Judas Priest
He is one of the greatest. I wonder if he ever failed Painkiller intro live, there must be biggest pressure ever when playing that! 😆
Haha now I’ll try to find a video of there is one 😂
scott travis is a sick drummer...but-for a guy who's on record stating he's all about the les binks era over the holland era, he sure plays the binks material with the robotic dave holland feel. i don't get where the swing went, because this guy can absolutely swing. it's super cool to watch him switch from open hand to traditional on a whim.
Of course Scott Travis is an amazing drummer. He’s a machine. My only issue with his style is that he sounds like…a machine. This is why I prefer Les Binks’ style because he brings more feel to the table.
Scott Travis
Racer X !
Extremely skilled, combined with priest being his look up too's as musicians when Scott, was a kid. Only to become longivity percussion priest 30+years. Loyality wouldn't be Scott, lol
