Scott Travis Hello Scott! I'm drumming for 40 years now. I want (need) to tell you that the "Painkiller" intro as been a shock and a very "food for mind" moment for me as a double bass drummer. Thanks a lot for that! Big up to you from France. 👍🏻🤟🏻🖖🏻🇫🇷 (And yes i know how to play it...) 🤪 Philty...
Scott mentioned that when he was young, always wanted to be a member within the priest unit". There drummer, which many young people have dreams, but to actually transition a dream into positioned as a member is spectacular in life". Double bass triplets like no other, 2nd to none as rob mentions" lol
Jeff Martin from Racer X (his first band) was a friend of Rob Halford, and even got to sing backing vocals on the Turbo album. He was also the one who recommended Scott to the band after Dave Holland left.
You seem to know something about drumming. Can you briefly explain why he looks so effortless? Is it his wrist work? For casual fans, they think he lacks passion. But their eyes dreamer deceive them.
I’m 50 yrs old & have been a heavy metal and hard rock fan my whole life” from Poison & Slaughter to Iron Maiden & Judas Priest” Metallic & Slayer…. Scott Travis is by far the greatest drummer on earth, he makes it look effortless “ he is always on time no mistakes. Also amazing to watch.👍🤟🤟
Saw Scott & Bruce Bouillet in Racer X @ Wolf + Rissmillers Country Club in Reseda CA -- Blistering Fuckin' intense playing by all ripped your face off shred! Some resume Scott Congrats !!! 🌟🌟🌟
Scott you raced motorcycles with me at golden eagles I was once Steve archers roommate the last time I saw you was when you flew over from California for their 39th Street Holiday Inn party you're incredible drummer and human being I'm proud of you and I remember you.... you raced a Yamaha..me a Suzuki.... Jordan slone introduced us.... I went into the army at 19 prior to that I was roommates with Marlene and Darlene and I'm sure you remember them
Solid as hell, man! It was interesting to me, as I generally open up the choruses on the ride cymbal… I never knew one way or another exactly how it was played on the studio album. So I thought it was interesting that you stayed on the hats pretty much the whole time. Then I was looking for a ride cymbal and I actually didn’t even see one! I thought maybe it was one of those things where for whatever reason you don’t use a ride cym.? Or maybe I just couldn’t see it? I just thought that was also very interesting. It made me recall how Keith moon, at least early on didn’t use hats. Just had a cymbal where the hats usually go. Anyway man, I was just curious. Thanks for bringing the bad ass rock!! Especially ripping it so hard at our age! Safe travels!
Interesting. Metal Gods was the 2nd song in the set. Notice at the very beginning of the video (last note of Rapid Fire) he sets his floor tom back up (it was leaning forward) And at this time he realizes the drum riser is not level - the whole kit is tilting forward. Watch how he is looking around for people... no one there. After the song is over "the whole riser is tilting." Whoever he tells it to pretty much says there is nothing they can do... and he shrugs like 'yeah, I know.' But what'cha gonna do? The show goes on. Little things like that can really get in your head for the whole gig.
@@MeBallerman Of course he came back. Rob introduced the next song which begins with a dual guitar intro (Heading out to the Highway). Stepped off to have a word with his tech likely, see if there was anything he could do.
Some heads rolled for that I’ll bet!! I run into shitty uneven shakey risers all the time. It sucks. I’ve had mics falling over, setlist blowing away, cymbal stands moving, heads breaking, pedals breaking, monitors cutting out-dealing with it as a gigging cover band drummer But at Travis’s level- somebody best be jumping !
Same Scotty Travis from Virginia Beach who played in Rob Halfords Fight?..if so I'm sure you don't remember but I do, I was in a very cool music store there and you were playing and I remember I set down and was playing then you guys stopped I kept playing and someone came over and was really quite well rude. I was really scared and thought I did something wrong and was crying. My Father was a bit upset aswell with me BUT NOT YOU!!!!!.👍 you came over and straighten it out. Then you let me play ( or at the time try to) with you lot..👏👏👏👏👏🎎 Tyvm for that.. I will never forget Scotty Travis and PS I've never stopped playing since.. and btw are you still LIKE 9FT TALL?..lol or maybe I was just a wee little one then..😝 many blessings to you and yours Scotty.🎎 That was a fine day in the USA for me.
it is indeed, i will remember him as being a very nice man ( and super drummer) who made my day turnout to be AWESOME. tc uncle skeeter, be well and safe.
awesome story!!...yep, he's still 9ft tall!! LOL Back in like 1984-5 my BF Wayne played guitar in a local metal band Hooker. Scott was the drummer. super cool dude. Great times!!!
Awesome dude. Great view. As a fellow drummer I love the view. I saw Judas Priest twice when Dave Holland was still the drummer. Unfortunately I won't be seeing Judas Priest in concert again. But I am glad to see so many videos here on You Tube. Thanks for my rocking years JP!
I'm a drummer and I just got in from a gig only to find this guy on TV and he blew me away with his power and control. It was called Rising in the East. Those double bass drums, wow incredible and those Paiste Rude cymbals. I'm now a huge fan.
Agree!This track is all about hi-hat groove and feel.I don,t think Travis is nailing it on this track.BUT,Travis and Binks are the best drummers for the mighty Priest.Hail🤘
I prefer how Holland doesn't play the hat on 3, it's a more punctuated and musical beat. That said, touring is a LOT different than playing a festival. I find Travis simplifies it for longevity and stamina when playing an endless line of shows night after night, many vocalists and guitars do it too. When you are talking about bands of this caliber, or even Ozzy and Alice with their 'hired gun' touring bands, there really isn't a comparison between musicians. The A list is the A list for a reason. There is a small pool of musicians that are THIS good, which is why they circulate between all the great bands, they are simply the best of the best.
I played drums in Cover Band, we play a couple of different Judas Priest songs. This song has the most boring drum track I’ve ever heard in any Judas Priest song ever. Why in gods name anyone would use this video as a drum cam video makes absolutely no sense. Anyone in his comments kissing ass as if this was some sort of high-quality drum performance should just go to bed because I could’ve performed this when I was like a child and done this song perfectly decent. It is no way an example of high-quality drumming, there’s no difficult parts in it anywhere. It’s an open high hat roll for five minutes straight. What’s wrong with you people?
tom richardson I think you get your ass behind the drums and try something your self , before even open your mouth! That’s what I think ,,dude@ ! So many ,,know How “ deep shit mother lovers , no offense
No new infos, I hope it will continue where Angel of retribution left with a touch of Nostradamus dark atmosphere. That Hellrider solo, omg... When I saw it performed by Glen and KK live (I miss him)... And we need a good ballad like on old JP albums. Mr. Travis extraterrestrial drumming is a must for a great album ofc ;) Please put some drum intro in one of the new songs.
Attended 2 priest shows with scott as drummer. He is the best double bass drummer world wide. Also what sets him apart from most is his double bass triplets:symbol timing. Endurance scott has. Along within Tama/Pa sound quality is stellar" he is also an excellent teacher, explains very well throughout beginner-intermediate-very advanced progressions. Lays a balanced foundation for the front runners to work with.
Hey Scott do you remember my friend Craig Butlin he was gonna play guitar in a van halen tribute , I'm from vb as well When I met you I was 15 with long hair and you were a judge in a drumming contest I was in lol well I'm older now lol but check out my drumming in my channel if you get a sec leave me a thumbs up lol
alguien save si la musica de los anuncios de ETORO son conpuestas por alguien para ellos(ETORO)?O SON DE ALGUN DISCO DE ALGUIEN?POR LO MENOS UNA QUE SUENA MAS QUE LAS OTRAS ,(O SONABA,....POR QUE AHORA NO SALE TANTO,(SERA QUE TIENE DEMANDA,Y SE VA A HACER UNOS DUROS EL CONPOSITOR ,A CUENTA DE ELLOS ...JAJAJAJAJA, ....JODER ¡PERO LLEGAR A UN ACUERDO¡JAJAJA
The hi-hat work sucks ....sorry, it shouldn't be open the whole time...but really who the hell am I to say...right. Maybe its because his riser was tilted forward. ;-)
Oh my god!!!! I just love Scott's drumming style. He makes it look so casual, and easy. Budapest, Hungary loved you guys in Europe's biggest one week long summer Sziget Festival on the main stage. 2011 august 11th!!! That's my birthday BTW!!!! I couldn't ask for anything better.
I was vary fortunate to see priest in Vegas and Mankato, MN on the 50th tour! Painkiller in Vegas, screaming for vengeance in Mankato vary awesome shows!! Priest fan from way back so glad I finally got to see them 2 times on one tour!!
I was there! Awesome concert! Thin lizzy and black label society opened up! I remember rob telling the crowd about the many hits he and other bands wrote at the famed recording studio in Miami during the 70’s and 80’s............can’t remember the name though.
Wow! Thank you very much. :)

Scott Travis hey Scott what song are you playing in this video
@@lachlanroberts6575 metal gods
Got to meet you in Evansville,Indiana! Thanks for not being stuck up bro!
Come back we love you!
I love you, you're my idol
Fantastic drummer looks as though he’s not even trying love his sticks as well 👌🏻
Thanks Scott for giving us this great perspective of your art and music.
Scott is the best drummer that Priest has ever had! No real competition there.
Les Binks...better than ever even today.
Les Binks....hands down!!!
Binks was such a creative player and the intro to Exciter is as important as Painkiller!
Dave Holland was bad ass
Simon Phillips.
Tight as hell. Anyone notcied how light he is on the drums, yet brutal on the cymbals? You don't see that every day...
exactly, plus the beat he puts down is almost flawless
Scott has the most beautiful glorious Head Of Hair in the metal world! God blessed Scott with great drumming skills and that Hair!!! Yes indeed!
Pamela and Scott sittin' in a tree ...🤣🤣🤣🤸
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTT BEST DRUMMER OF PRIEST.
The drummer is the hardest working dude in the band! Scott makes it look easy 🤘🤘🤘
Never seen him break a sweat.
🤟
This looks easy because it's really easy to do.
@@aryssonlima8784post a video doing it then since it's so easy🙃

Right....but never forget Dave Holland...❤😊
@@henningpieterjordan7416 He Rocked Too!
Just really awesome skills . Looks effortless . A true pro . Love the stick work and just the flow of the arms across the toms never misses a beat .
You seem to know something about drumming. Can you briefly explain why he looks so effortless? Is it his wrist work? For casual fans, they think he lacks passion. But their eyes dreamer deceive them.
@@Frip36 Muscle memory from years of practice and the confidence to be always thinking ahead.
I really love Scott’s style. So casual checking things out and still solid as a rock. I really enjoy watching him play.
This is truly the most effortless magic ever created in drums.. 🤘👽
Seeing Scott live was a real treat! Effortless.
Ahhh those DRUMMERS... Lonely in the back. But let's face it they are the driving force!!😁🤟

A slight overstatement. Scott would agree. Btw: I love him with Priest.
My first *real* introduction to Priest was Unleashed, so it's no surprise I'm partial to Les Binks.
I love Priest for not rushing through their songs on stage. I credit the drummer. ;)
Saw Scott & Bruce Bouillet in Racer X @ Wolf + Rissmillers Country Club in Reseda CA --
Blistering Fuckin' intense playing by all ripped your face off shred!
Some resume Scott Congrats !!! 🌟🌟🌟
Really enjoy these behind the kit videos. But wow, if I sat that low at my kit, my lower back would be screaming at me!
His work on Jugulator was phenomenal! ✌🏽
This guy is so happy & appreciates the position he has"! I love watching him work
One of the more accurate comments on here! Thank you
Best ever!!!!! Respect from cold Siberia,!!
Beautiful arms
Scott you raced motorcycles with me at golden eagles I was once Steve archers roommate the last time I saw you was when you flew over from California for their 39th Street Holiday Inn party you're incredible drummer and human being I'm proud of you and I remember you.... you raced a Yamaha..me a Suzuki....

Dude! Golden Eagles! YES. Lol. Man, wish I still had my jersey. I still have my trophies.

Never realized what an unorthodox set-up Scott had. I mean, his hi hat is like a mile away from the snare 😅
Awesome drumming, of course ❤
Travis Scott got nothing on this!
no misstakes !! amazin drummer
Great drummer! Thankyou Scott!

100%
So he just walked away from stage? The show ended right there, with Scott leaving because his drum set was tilted? Did he come back?
@@MeBallerman Of course he came back. Rob introduced the next song which begins with a dual guitar intro (Heading out to the Highway). Stepped off to have a word with his tech likely, see if there was anything he could do.

Nice as always Scott greetings from Greece :-)
Great camera angle! Hope to see more of this!
A masterclass of drums!
He makes it look so easy...It's way so cool!!!!
Metallion69 Doest he tho
It's probably the easiest song on the planet I think that stick catch at the end was harder than the song.
it is tho

damn that high hat is set up high, and travis is tall too, like 6'4 I think. every drummer has their preference.
Rename this video to ''Killer shoulder exercise : The metal way''
This is outstanding. Thank you for posting
@Scott Travis : You have the same problem I have - bandmembers that cant wait for us to fix up our drumkits haha!
Dave Holland played this song much better !
So relaxed..but pounding!!

Scott is the second best. Dave Holland. Was nbr one.
Scott is like a clock wth a sledgehammer for a pendulum
Yeah 🤘 🎸 🎙️ 🎶 🎸 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺

Travis Earned his right in Rock'Metal One of the Greatest Drummers in the last #40yrs
Scott Travis he is sexy man good drummer he is a King!
His syncopation is off the charts
No AndNo There weren't any syncopated beats in that song.
The hi-hat work sucks ....sorry, it shouldn't be open the whole time...but really who the hell am I to say...right. Maybe its because his riser was tilted forward. ;-)
Scott it telling his equipment guy that his riser feels like it’s tilting down.
Now that's a 'high-hat' 😂
why do drum cam of this?) To easy for any1
Oh my god!!!! I just love Scott's drumming style. He makes it look so casual, and easy. Budapest, Hungary loved you guys in Europe's biggest one week long summer Sziget Festival on the main stage. 2011 august 11th!!! That's my birthday BTW!!!! I couldn't ask for anything better.
Prefer Holland's jazzier version...too many drummers today Ulrich out and forget the high hat pedal.
Bad choice of song to appraise his skills
Why?
Even late nick menza of Megadeth he was playing like scott
Travis really reminds me a lot about how Cozy Powell approached the drums
It was fun seeing the Racer X drummer live with Judas Priest in Utah!!
I knew Scott Travis when I was in the Navy on Norfolk Virginia. In the,80 s. Saw him playing hundreds of times.... always kicked ass....
I love Scott’s drumming
i sincerely hope the sound he's hearing is better than that
Thanks for your reply. Seems those days mean as much to you as they do to me. Too bad about your jersey. Bet it said #36!!!
Boring on drums,but good song.
Now THATS entertainment!
I've tried sitting with my hips below my knees and just can't do it. So uncomfortable
Where you buy those trousers, Scott?
Best drummer ever!!!!
Vater - Scott Travis signature sticks!
"The Whole riser is tilting" Eeks. Could have been a Spinal Tap moment!!
Sequins on pants,sho biz clothes,no joke,lol.
I don’t doubt that this man is an amazing drummer, but this really isn’t a good track to showcase those skills.
he is using the sticks from harry potter? lelzz
Toca muito, esse cara é foda.
You're a Metal God.
dedicated to Pete Tillman ;)
I like those two little Toms left of his hi hat. Cool set up !
Hi. Please check out drummer Junnas video of Painkiller. Thanx
Is this the stage sound Scott's hearing or does he have in ear monitors?
