Travis Orbin - Periphery Playalongs - "Ow My Feelings" & "All New Materials"

As is the case whenever I do these, I had a few days to myself between finishing a full-length and prepping for an upcoming Darkest Hour tour and I decided to tackle these tunes. "ANM" was an easy one and since it had been so long since I did "Inertia" I figured why not! Sheesh, some of those parts in "Ow" surely induced the 'ow' in me. As I was getting these back up to performance tempii I got the same feeling I did when rehearsing "The Walk", in that I would certainly do things differently this time around (25-year-old Travis was a damn glutton for drum punishment, haha); but that wouldn't be true to the spirit of my playing style/approach from back then. I had an old demo of "Ow" in my e-mail with most of my programmed parts, and this version of "ANM" is from the old Bulb Soundclick. Fun fact, but "ANM" was named after a branding on the bottom of the rubber spider that's made a home out of my bass drum all these years.

As for gear I utilized my 12" rack and a cymbal setup that I've been especially preferring lately (left to right, player's perspective):
20" K Heavy Ride, 19" K Dark Crash Thin, custom hats (14" K Constantinople bottom (top) / 14" K Custom High Definition bottom (bottom)), 'stack' (14" A Custom EFX / 16" FX Oriental China "Trash"), 13" A New Beat Hi-Hats, 19" K Custom Hybrid Crash, 18" K Custom Special Dry China. I dig this so much I used it exclusively on every tune on the aforementioned full-length as well as 4/5 tunes on the upcoming Instar EP. For further gear inquiries please visit:

Notes:
0:30 - 1:09, 2:47 - 2:57 - right-side pedal hat fills in 16th rests (2:47 and on is especially a limb twister)
1:55 - 2:23 - china complements slide on guitar
3:03 - double kick flam
3:06 - in the middle of all that franticness is a 16th triplet fill-in that falls on the fourth 16th of the count, hehe
3:24 - one-handed press roll
4:56 - 16th septuplet fill-in
7:32 - 7:40 - on the repeat of the verse riff, an 8th snare is added for punctuation before every accent (regardless of previous kick pattern)
8:17 - 16th quintuplet fill-in
9:13 - on the repeat of the verse riff this time, fill-ins are added to break it up (including an 8th septuplet into a 16th septuplet at 9:19)

I think I'm gonna start doing two of these at a time for the hell of it. "Letter Experiment" and "Not Enough Mana" are on deck.

Disclaimer: In an attempt to stave off potential ignorant comments as I've received in the past, I felt the need for this nigh preposterous disclaimer. I am doing this for myself and for the sake of posterity. I put countless hours into these parts (composing, practicing, etc.) and wish to share them with everyone. I am in no way bitter or regretful; much on the contrary, I share a mutual friendship with everyone in Periphery and intend to keep it that way. Anyway, enjoy the videos!
