Travis had always wanted to be the drummer of Judas Priest. As a young teen, he had often thought about setting up his drumkit in the parking lot at the Hampton Coliseum in hopes that the band would notice him as they rolled through with their tour bus. He finally decided to wait out back of the arena, and hand the band a tape of his playing. Priest still had Dave Holland, so nothing ever came out from the encounter. When Dave Holland did leave Judas Priest in 1989, Jeff Martin heard about it through his friendship with Rob Halford. Jeff called up Scott one day and said "Guess who needs a drummer." Travis auditioned for the vacant position and in 1989 got the job, thus becoming the first non-Briton to play the legendary Birmingham heavy rock monster. Travis has been with the band ever since and he also handles drum duties for his former band Racer X. He played drums in Rob Halford's band Fight from 1993 to 1995, but to date is best-known for his work with the Priest, for which he has been widely acclaimed ever since his debut with 1990's Painkiller.
