I know there was a tread about him, but it was like three years old so thought I should start a new, after Trivium released their new album, The Crusade, and everything.
So what do you think about him? How is he compared to other "trash" metal drummers? I know for sure that I love all his stuff, plays what really fits in the song and the guy has some psycho doublebass!
Is it just me or is Travis Smith (Trivium) rediculously good. The real reason that I am posting this is because i cannot figure what he is doing on the opening of "Pull on the Strings of your Martyrs." It is off of the album Ascendancy and if anyone can help me there that would be great, BUT ALSO what are your thoughts on his playing? I personally think that he is the man and I am going to base many more drumbeats off of his... style? A.K.A. He is now one of my prime influences. but those are my thoughts, what are yours?
Pull harder isnt a hard song. Try yourself on Drowned and Torn Asunder or Washing Me Away in the Tides.
nah man its just hard to explain
i was taught by an old jazz session drummer and he doesnt call anything what it is
slow singles(double bass pedal).....= the chorus of gunshot
fast doubles(" " " ).....= the verse of gunshot
i havent a clue of most terms cuz neither does he but im learning how to play thats all that matters
