Travis Orbin - "Nookie" Session

Title:
Travis Orbin - "Nookie" Session

Description:
Since SEA's headlining tour is jokingly dubbed 'The New Nu-Metal Tour,' we decided to do a rendition of Limp Bizkit's "Nookie". This video showcases some highlights from the drum tracking session. I tracked the drums in my buddy Taylor's new studio. The first segment is the chorus. I stuck pretty close to what John Otto performed on the album. The audio doesn't sync at the end because we tracked the loop separately for a supremely mechanical feel. Next is the prechorus ("like a chump, 'eyyy!"). Again, the audio doesn't sync with the video because of the decision--after the fact--to paste the loop. Afterwards is the first part of the bridge. I improvised all of the fills. We did a couple of passes but kept the first take for the spontaneity factor. The second part of the bridge is all about straight-ahead groove and POWER. I also improvised the big fill at the end. Finally, we have outro soloistic bits. Please excuse the sloppiness but it was about 3AM (we got a late start, heh) and about half of the fills were improvised. If you are a budget-conscious band in need of a superb-sounding record and are willing to travel to Bethesda, MD hit up my friend Taylor Larson at taylorlarsonrecording@gmail.com! The "Nookie" cover has since been removed from the SEA MySpace since our tour concluded. You may listen at my personal music MySpace. Thank you for your time! myspace.com/travisorbin
