Travis Smith (born April 29, 1982) is an American musician best known as the former drummer of the heavy metal band Trivium, from their formation in 1999 until he officially departed on February 4, 2010.

Smith is best known for his very fast footwork, and intricate rhythms on the toms, a skill that has been noted several times by music magazines such as Revolver and Modern Drummer as well as by other media.

[2] Trivium's relationship with Smith had deteriorated over the years, and the band had no immediate plans to replace him when he announced in late October 2009 that he would be sitting out the 'Into the Mouth of Hell' tour to take care of "some personal business."

It was not until after the band members started playing with Nick Augusto on the tour that they realized the injection of new blood served Trivium well.

"[4] On the nature of Smith's dismissal from the band, Beaulieu stated "...things were falling apart, and we just kind of pulled the trigger first, just to get it done, move forward and get the new guy settled in and comfortable.
