Just saw blink in Houston Saturday and Travis went off for the entire set. Dude never let up for a second. Back in their heyday I didn't think much about it, but after finally seeing them live, he's the engine that drives the band.
I was there when this band hit, I was the right age for it, the whole shit. What a remarkable time to be alive. Internet was still in its infancy so we had all the access it gave us, but none of the drawbacks that have plagued society today. W
There’s an album called the “mark tom and Travis show” it’s a live album. I used to run it day and night his parts were so different on all the non “signature fills” loved it! Heard him say that he’d do half the tour with the studio drums the other half like he’s talking here. I love this man. Great drummer no matter what style you’re into!
@@hannahmitchell87 yeah he does drum on all of it. It also has the Mike Herrera from from MXPX on bass and guest spots from 311 vocalist and the bass player from Blink 183 (can’t think of their names at the moment). Honestly, it’s a fantastic album.
I’ll have to admit I was blessed in the Travis barker early 2000’s when he first got hooked up with OC drums, toured with which is probably one of my favourite kits ever, the yellow and black trim with black starts, amazing kit, amazing drummer, his name is Travis, my Name is Travis, we both play drums and conquer the world, ladies name your son Travis 😂
As a 32-year-old who just purchased his first electronic drum kit, and recently getting into blink 182 for the first time ever - I absolutely love this man
@@Cognitomanyou're never too old to learn, keeping your mind sharp by learning keeps you young. I learned guitar in my late 30's and early 40's and have transitioned to learning drums in my late 40's.
My brother who is a great black metal drummer, when we went and watched the transplants at the Warped Tour in 2004, nobody could take their eyes off of Travis Barker playing the drums on those songs
Never was a fan of blink 182. But I love Travis barker as a drummer. I use his signature drumsticks too, longer, lighter, and hard mtha fckn Stx, thyre slightly tapered with a ball at the end. Perfect. Jose Pasillas uses similar stix and so did Taylor Hawkins
People forget ya can be a awesome the top drummer of all drummers but did you make it accessible to the public and did you sell millions and millions of record ...this guy so entertaining and his band made some of the best songs even till now I play blasting n hey my kids love it
One of the best drummers in punk/rock without a doubt. The overall song structure in Blink songs was simple, but the drums are incredible and definitely way more complex.
I live this short. As a non musical person I wondered if drummer’s memorize the grooves and beats and play them the same, but Travis answered this for me. The big parts are the same and o guess he just ad libs in the style of the song to keep it fresh. Interesting
One of the most creative drummers I've seen. Creativity is a skill. His playing in most of their songs are not just in the pocket but also interesting to listen. I create music too and a drummer in a band and it is really not that easy to make songs perfect and sound NOT boring. But at the same time, don't over think and just let the music flow. Change things here and there then get over. Just like how it is better for Mix Engineers to mix the song faster. It's not how fast you finish though, it's about NOT losing that target sound in your head that makes sense for the song.
I'm a bassist, not a drummer, and i view travis barker similar to how i view Flea. Are there better musicians? Absolutely. But they have done a TON for their instrument in terms of getting people interested in learning, and being a gateway for more advanced techniques than your typical rock/pop musician.
@@ephwurd2yurMother in the real song he is not. On the video he is. Notice the 18 thumbs up I got. You act like a child. I literally have a masters degree in mathematics and you told me to learn to count.
So I’ve been doing a six stroke roll since 6th grade! I’m technical! I just knew it was the coolest to hear on going away to college and i haven’t stopped since
He's been doing that forever, and as a drummer, I love it. I remember seeing them when I was in high school with another drummer friend of mine. We had(and probably still do haha) encyclopedic knowledge of all his drum parts, and whenever he'd mix it up we'd just look at each other and nerd out.. It was awesome!
This dude can play ridimentally, which is a sure sign this cat has perfected his craft and honors it... that is the sign of a complex musician...my hero!😎🤘🥁🎶
Travis Barker. The man, the myth and the legend. Survives the rockstar life, dedicated to his craft, synonymous with late 90' and early 2000's punk rock. Motocross, dirt bikes, rally, and X-games persona and even survived a plane crash. You gotta love the guy
Blink 182 is one of those bands that doesnt sound that hard to play along to on the drums. Then you sit down and try playing through first date and your hands are cramped into hooks and you dont know what the hell happened
First date is wayyy harder than it sounds😂 I mean if I take the time to practice it, it's not so scary, but when you try hop back into playing it after a long time away it'll humble you 😂
Where can I find more examples of this practice kit? I’m new to drumming and am in an apt- these practice pads + are high hat? + some sort of kick seems like a great idea. Links? Suggestions?
@@DaNedmonsterhe never marched drum corps. He did high school marching band in Fontana. Drum corps is major league. He never auditioned and story goes supposedly he was cut from BD try outs
@@DaNedmonsterI marched from 2013-2014 and was section leader of a WGI group in 2015. Only famous person I know of who marched DCI was Snoop dogg marching mandarins on melophone.
People claim Travis Barker is overrated because he plays “generic” sounding drums for a lot of songs. However, if you watch his solos/warm ups, you realize he is actually a phenomenal drummer but just doesn’t showcase it that much. Is he the best? No, but he is a lot better than people give him credit for.
Omg I haven't seen anyone rock Subhumans shirt in mad looking though my preference is like more bad brains adolescents fugazi gang of Four brings me back to more simple times in my life
Interesting I’ve never heard of this guy I just recently found out who Post Malone was. I don’t know. It doesn’t seem to be a bad loop to not be in though.
Travis was for sure my first major influence. Saw Blink when I was 14. Then it was Aaron Gillespie. Then Thomas Pridgen. Now it's Matt Garstka. The lesson? Practice your rudiments over and over and over, forever.
I like Travis with Kourtney. They look really happy together. At first I was, well, that can't be a good choice. I was narrowminded and judgemental like that. But they seem like they're having a nice time, and that's what it's all about.

@@BananaManPL nobody is arguing anything or being derogatory, chill, just a conversation, yes we know who he is, doesn’t mean he’s beyond criticism, but we are not even doing that.
Also shoutout to the mixing engineer, the drums are very much not in the front of the mix when he's playing the busy stuff, and it's all blending very nicely and almost creating like a soundscape. A lot of other bands couldn't get away with drumming like this, and I think a lot of it has to do with how big and in-your-face the percussion is for so much rock based music
Hes a great drummer, i like how dedicated to the craft he is

I know! True freedom
Can’t help but agree to everything. Sometimes i’m sad thinking about it. I think my very first teenage crush was for tom😅
I'm not a Blink 182 fan but Travis is a very solid drummer. His rudiments are impeccable due to his background in drum corp.
Same with Ray Luzier
I’m pretty sure he wasn’t in drum corp but definitely in high school drumline
@@winklenator That's actually what I meant.
Ah, that explains the Blink sound.
I didn’t even notice these nuances
“I change my drums up every night.” -TB
I wish everyone understood this. Crucial to our entire core value of music appreciation.
Barker adds so many cool drum rhythms supporting Mark and Tom’s jams
His solid execution of rudiments plays a key factor in his sound
There’s an album called the “mark tom and Travis show” it’s a live album. I used to run it day and night his parts were so different on all the non “signature fills” loved it! Heard him say that he’d do half the tour with the studio drums the other half like he’s talking here. I love this man. Great drummer no matter what style you’re into!
Check out his playing on Goldfinger’s album “The Knife”. It’s his best playing by far in my opinion.

Fucking thank you!! Thought I was going crazy
Someone said Travis barker is beginner drummers favorite drummer and I could not agree more

Glad somebody said it like wtf. That buildup is not a six-stroke at all.
Travis, you are in my opinion the absolute best drummer out there. Your speed and talent is unmatchable! Keep it up, you're the best!

His boring music makes me fall asleep
@@justincoleman3805Ok, now let's try to get an answer from someone who's not a complete retard
Talented drummer. Not overrated at all, he deserves every praise he gets. Along with Tom and Mark. 💖
He is better than me... but that isn't saying much...
Boy Band crap
He has such a calm energy STILL. Honestly, always thought Tom and Mark were going biggest, but Travis is a GOD.
I’m a bottom heavy drummer I use a lot of double bass. He is a VERY versatile top heavy drummer. There’s a lot of greats but he’s way up there. 💯
