Cool review, but you may wanna check out a different song, Travis didn’t write Dammit! It was written by Scott Reynor, blink’s old drummer
Travis wrote the current iteration. Listen to Scott's pattern, and then Travis's pattern. Completely different approach. Travis accents the guitar riff while Scott syncopates around it. If you can't hear this, you're not playing attention to the subtleties of composition. Not to mention the triplet fills, break at "he fucked her" and various other changes.
Thank YOU.. BLINK is the same era as offspring. And Greenday. Screeching weasel.
My fave punk drummer is Bill Stevenson.
Blink created the wave for NFG... Bowling for soup was after nfg had mainstream success. This dude can drum... But doesn't know much about the generations and how it went down. Oh well.
AudioBootlegs Travis did make his own adaptation of the song but most of the compositional aspects that he commented on in the video were directly taken from the original song
Inappropriate Content yes, but the version on the album is still Scott. The version widely played is still Scott.
Inappropriate Content even then, he wasn’t one of the original composers of a song. He came in after Dude Ranch, there’s only so much he can do, he’s still operating off of what Scott did.
bro, Travis is 43.
I think he made a fair educated guess even if he was off
that proves his point even more

The wrist cracking isn't just from his technique or his plane crash. The main reason is that his bones and joints are super fragile because of his past addiction to pills. It's all in his book.
That's so sad
i sadly deal with the wrist cracking and im only 22
@@lethalmilk oh man. That's not good!!
Cory Thompson same except my life is more of a train wreck... 😂
His technique absolutely contributed to his wrists he has stated that in interviews pills could add to that. He plays a lot more than most any drummer not just in blink so even with perfect technique he’s still gonna have issues. Look at some pics of his fingers missing skin and bleeding I mean come on you gotta be crazy to think his playing doesn’t fuck his wrists up. Secretary’s get carpal tunnel from using a keyboard every day. My grandma got arthritis in all the joints in her fingers from playing piano 70 years.
Always, adam song and anthem part 2 were some of amazing drumming by travis
I love his energy in Feeling this.
how about hearts all gone?
Down. Down. Down. Down.
His drumming on Time To Break Up from Take Off Your Pants and Jacket is my favorite drumming of his, personally.

"I was all in on punk rock in the 90's" also "I'm not familiar with Travis Barker"
Yep
There's different sub genres of punk. He prolly likes more hardcore and less pop.
@@MavidG you are correct sir
on that time travis was on the aquabats!
If you are a drummer you are familiar with Blink and Barker. I honestly feel bad for Junkdrummer's students. Being all around the same age and a drummer as well, this is sad to me.
thanks for being objective man. it's so easy to jump on either side of the camp without an educated viewpoint, this was great.
there are many videos showing his abilities and this isn't one of the flashiest at all, but this is still a decent display of his time-keeping and consistent hitting.
Attention Blink 182 fans!! Yes. I know that he didn't record this song. But. He is actually playing the song. I have now posted a TB video if him doing Hearts All Gone here ruclips.net/video/hs_sB1nukb8/видео.html
Have a nice day!
You will enjoy reviewing "heart's all gone" from them :)
Love Travis Barker but you’re totally right about his technique.
Cool to hear a drum teachers opinion about his drumming style. Everyone has a different view to different styles drumming and people need to accept that. Nice review buddy. Cheers from Hamburg, Germany.
Thank you!!
2 things
1)Now that you point out the technique I cant unsee it.
2) thats a Scott Raynor drum composition. You should do anthem(enema), first date(take off your pants and jacket), or violence(blink 182). Those are the three big travis albums and a decent song for him from each one.
**edited in one song from each album**
Smelly from nofx is a great drummer!
Travis is a drumming BEAST!!!!
❤❤❤❤
He is definitely BADASS and 1 of the BEST drummers out there!!!!
Yes!!
To all the people saying "Travis didn't write this song, Scott did"
Travis has written the current iteration of the song, where he accents the guitar riff rather than Scott's syncopated approach. Scott also played sixteenths on the hats and a different groove in the chorus.
Not to mention the triplets fills and the break at "he fucked her" which travis also wrote.
Pay attention.
The old drummer played 8th notes on the hihat, this guy is playing 1/4 notes.
Pay attention
So many better songs to watch of Travis Barker,. ‘Mutt’ is a good one... and I do believe he was in marching band as a teen.
I would really love for you to do another one, this is one of the simplest, easiest, most boring songs (drumwise) of blinks catalogue, Travis doesn't shine at ALL, what's interesting about Travis' drumming is when he mixes up beats and rythms that are not usual in pop-punk music. Off the top of my head, some examples would be Anthem pt 2, Stockholm Syndrome, Down, Always, and of course Dysentery Gary, though I'm not sure where to find a live version of that, but all the others you can find decent live versions of. There is a reason so many people idolize Travis, and it's NOT his stick twiddling, his tattoos or his appearances in magazines, it's because he is an insane drummer.
See highlighted comment!
September Kid I couldn’t agree more and well said Travis throws around patterns that are almost odd or u wouldn’t expect in a song necessarily but it sounds incredible he really puts a lot of technical skill and physicality and live he’s just on it like no one else he’s for sure unique,original as a mf just all around entertaining af to watch and awe inspiring to listen on any and everything he plays.....
Came here to say this. Travis had to somewhat add his Travis flare to make Scott (original drummer of blink) drum writing for this song sound less basic.
Travis didnt even write the drums on this wrong lol
I was about to write the same comment but you beat me to it lol
he wrote the current iteration, if you can't hear the obvious kick and snare pattern difference in the song since travis joined, then you're not paying attention.
How ironic is it that this is the "wrong" way to spell song?
The drums as Travis currently plays them have very little resemblance to how Scott played it on the recording.
George K Exactly. I love Travis Barker, but everyone should know that Scott Raynor wrote the drum parts first.
Travis Barker was in marching band in high school.
Pretty insightful commentary
Hope your content gets more recognition
Thank you!!
made me look up Travis's date of birth.
Born: November 14, 1975 (age 43 years), Fontana, CA
Watch Harry Miree's video "5 tips for drumming like Travis Barker" and let me know what you think! He does a great job of showing different clips and picking really good Travis sections and plays/shows or talks about why their so good.
I'm a huge blink fan and a marching drummer myself. I completely agree with the technique. It all stems from the style of music. The louder you play the higher go the stick heights, and the higher the heights the more arm you use (as opposed to wrist and fingers). Blink actually had to cancel some shows because Travis had blood clots in both arms. Travis is such a great writer and orchestrator though and he can still play with the best of them.
Scott created the infamous drum track for dammit but Travis definitely improve it and played it better..
not a drum expert though, i know scotts drum beat on dammit was the original but travis improvation kinda fasten the tempo which makes it very jamming to play it live ..just my opinion though..
Travis Barker isn't playing it at a faster tempo in this video. He's also playing it at 8th notes rather than 16ths which is harder in the original. Not to take away from Travis Barker though, he used to play 16th notes but he's getting old and there's the addition of the plane crash and the blood clots in his wrists.
You should do one on the drummer of August Burns Red Matt Griener
@WhoDarestheMAN gamer Imagine having shit taste, wouldn't want to be you
You should do a video on Scott Raynor, the original drummer for Blink. Would love to see how his technique differs from Travis'.
ur 100% rite I was at the korn show. Where David broke his wrist from playing too hard...
he plays all flashy like that with his little tricks because he is a showman as well. all the blink fans love it. and it’s just fun to watch live. i love his stuff for sure 🤘🏼
This was pretty interesting. Learned some stuff.
Travis has also had a lot of blood clot issues in his arms, if that's any way related to technique.
JEEVES its from the plane crash
"next generation" dude he's been killing it since late 90s early 2000s
When comparing him to the Pearts and Bonhams he is the next generation after them.
Junkdrummer TV the first wave would be like bad religion, Dag Nasty, and black flag era.
@@joshsmith6207 lol first wave of punk?
@@Bazooka_Sharks what would you say the first wave of punk was?
@@joshsmith6207 the stooges, ramones, pistols, buzzcocks, death (even tho no one ever heard them in the 70s)
But i mean, in the 50s...rock n rollers were ostracized the same way "punks" were.
So...saying buddy holly is the grandfather of punk isnt even far off.
Its all stupid though. punk is to play what you want and not care what anyone else thinks about it
Just sayin, Travis didn’t write that drum part, it was Scott raynor
Good vid, though!
Thank you!!
Please listen carefully he don't know travis and blink 182.
HE WROTE THE CURRENT ITERATION. Listen to Scott's pattern, and then Travis's pattern. Completely different approach. Travis accents the guitar riff while Scott syncopates around it. If you can't hear this, you're not playing attention to the subtleties of composition.
I read Travis’ autobiography and he openly admits he has technique issues. He also plays so his snares are completely flat and hard on his wrists. He’s self taught
I would have suggested doing a song that Travis actually composed the drums for, the drums in dammit are done by Scott. A video on the drums of feeling this would be a good one to break down.
tenfifty scott played on the record but travis makes the part his own when he plays the songs live
Travis was in a plane crash which severely injured him and causes a lot of his issues nowadays.
React to Lamb of god’s “the faded line”
Chris Adler is just epic all the time. Sad that he’s not with lamb anymore
Technique doesn’t matter if the music sounds good.
Totally agree
Yeah until it affect your health and hurt you physically.
I also agree
Just discover your channel now, good job man ! You just won a subscriber ;-)
But I think it's not the good song to react to, you should listen to Hearts all gone, Dogs eating dogs or even old stuff like Mutt or Down.
But as you said, he still an amazing and a badass drummer !
Can you do some react to old jazz drummer ? (Max Roach, Jo jones...)
Cheers from France ;-)
Thanks! I will be doing some jazz drummers down the road.
This was really interesting to watch as a non-drummer, thanks for a great video!
Thank you!!
Travis is 43, not nearly 50. He also never wrote the drums for Dammit, and even still.. I think you should analyse his drumming in the self titled album. For instance, the song Violence or feeling this. Both of those are good starting points for seeing technique with Travis :)
Junkdrummer react to Baard Kolstad, is the dude really a genious as he seems to be ? Thanks, keep up the good work!
You should check out Cynical by Blink 182. The drum parts are pretty fast, punk beats that he came up with. Gives a pretty good representation of his speed & preciseness.
I was at this show!! I'm one of the tiny faces in the crowd lol
I would love an analysis of Keith Moon. His drumming is so crazy.
yeah he's crazy shit
Travis in my opinion is one the best Blink 182 was around in 90’s before the internet he made them drum beats from his own mind no youtuber say this is how you do it so yes travis is a good drummer and anyone who say he’s not is a idiot.
If everything have to follow the book..., then it aint punk rock man! Theres no right or wrong in doing it man... No point getting the technique.. but losing on the FEEL of the genre.. and some people just want to be different and be unique.. if every drummer plays the same thenn u r just another drummer..
I guess but not everyone needs to destroy their bodies like Travis to do that
Yes Travis was trained in high school marching band! I knew one of his people that helped train him in high school.
Duke Volatire dope bro, must have been an enlightened experience! God bless you and your family.
Travis went to my High School and graduated the year before I attended High School. A buddy of mine was on the Drumline with him, and after Travis graduated, my buddy became the Drumline's Percussion Leader.
He was the drummer for the ska band aquabats before blink 182
Plsss react to dave grohl live at paramount drum
He just put all energy to the stage... sure.. he can bounce really smooth, check another video from travis warming up. By the way I like your analyze... damn you such a pro drummer
Thank you. And I will!!
You should review Matt Greiner drummer for August Burns Red.
actually travis didn't "create" de drums of Dammit
it was Scoot Raynor
See highlighted comment
But dammit is not that impressive... I mean the drum was pretty standard... scott was on the drum back then...
I never knew there was another drummer before him
@@JunkdrummerTV yeah travis barker is the second drummer of blink 182... the first album that featured travis was enema of the state...
i think his wrist issue was actually from his plane crash. you should check out the videos of him playing with one hand after the accident. it really shows his skill with the drums
It makes sense. He's talented as hell. He also has one arm in a sling every other tour. 😂 Which I guess makes him work twice as hard drumming one-handed!
By the way, you should redo a video with a song he wrote. The drum part on Dammit wasn't originally his.
I'm going to down the road now that I know he wasn't the drummer on the original recording
@@JunkdrummerTV "Down" would be a great one to review...
I'd supremely enjoy if you redid this video with one of the breakdown series vids, seeing as he didn't even right this song. Possibly the "hearts all gone video" or "wishing well" something that truly showcases his talent, and songwriting abilities. Regardless excellent video, and I look forward to seeing your channel grow
Thank you!!
useexcuses I second this the Heart’s All Gone video is really good and showcases his ability
The thing is Travis was in the marching band, and that's why he grabs like that and apparently that's the most comfortable grip for him. Grab the sticks tightly and not having a gap between thumbs and index fingers. I used to be a huge Travis fan when I was a kid, because I thought he was cool looking, fast and hard hitter, thus I thought "he must be the best drummer in the world". He was the reason I learned to play drums. I started copying him, his gesture, his grip, how he hits the snare, hi hats, basically everything except his fashion. and you know what? it hurt my wrists so bad. Simply didn't work for me. and then at some point I came across on Jared Falk and Jojo Mayer's video on YT, totally changed my style and no pain anymore. My point is, what's best for doesn't always work on someone else and so the opposite.
Please react to Travis Barker playing Hearts All Gone, that's one of his best drumming songs.
Your wish is my command
I second this
Yess this is he finest song of drumming. And im a blink fan since chesire cat
Little does he know Travis started playing drums in his local high school marching band
Travis did have issues from technique, but he said in an interview that changing so that he doesn’t practice as hard as he plays and using different types of strokes in rehearsals he has avoided such issues. He also toured with a broken arm and survived a plane crash. So he’s just tankin along.
What's your band called Steve?
Oh man. I was afraid of someone asking that. I'm hesitant to say because I'm trying to stay as anonymous as a RUclipsr can be hahaha!
Super off topic, but I love your accent. Coming from a Maryland native
Thank ya! I bet you say dog like doge
Everything he plays is fresh and creative. While most of drummers have a focus on speed, technique and rhythm. Travis has that plus creativity, freshness and massive songwriting skills. Can't think of a drummer that shows so many patterns. A new drumming lesson can be found in songs like Adam's Song, Anthem Part II, Down, Wishing Well, 155, Anthem, The Fallen Interlude, Always, Kaleidoscope, Pretty Little Girl, Long Lost Feeling, Los Angeles, Watch The World, Cat Like Thief...and could continue on and on. Blink 182 is so great thanks to Travis creativity plus Tom and Mark enjoyable and relatable compositions.
I absolutely agree
He's not doing a flashy stick trick type thing, he's only switching his right and left hand hits on the 2 and the 4.
While doing a back stick on the hi hat
It's flashy to anybody in the audience who isn't a drummer and doesn't really understand what you're doing.
I'm also a gigging drummer so trust me, nearly anything that isn't just doing a straight rhythm is a flashy trick to the audience, and like the video creator said, you're there to entertain and put on a show.
So it's a simple trick, but you should do it if there's a song you can easily put it in to, the audience loves it.
@@TheGamingDandy excellent comment!!!
@@JunkdrummerTV Trust me, there is no back-sticking on the hi-hat. Play the video @ 0.25x speed and you'll see. It's definitely flashy, but no stick trick. What he does is he swings his arm around in a circle before each hit, it's one of his signature moves that he probably came up with by watching Pete Townshend do his signature ''windmill'' move on guitar.
@@robertlowe5682 does it really matter brother. It's Friday night. Go out and have some fun.
Excellent drummer. His tech is an illusion
I'm not a Blink fan, but I am a drummer, and Travis is outta this world. There are other videos though that show him in a even better light then this one..
This song was released when Travis Barker wasn‘t in blink-182 yet
Haha. I know that now
@@JunkdrummerTV you should delete this video then and actually do your homework before you bash the guy. Travis had nothing to do with this song. Fool.
Nah
@Patton Loop It‘s still Travis Barker and it‘s different drumming then the original by Scott Raynor
Why does it matter when the song was released?
I can’t remember exactly what Travis said but there’s a video where Travis Barker talks about the technique of allowing stick to bounce back up vs the other technique. It is in a drum lesson tutorial and I believe it might be sponsored by Bose. Something like “Giving Back.”
In my experience people who say “that’s how i like my punk Rock” and “I’m down” don’t like punk and are indeed NOT down
hey steve i realize your super busy but if you would can you check the ex drummer from the band intronaut! danny walker is his name. love to hear some insight on his style as a drummer from you! keep the vids flowing, love them!!!!!!
Good video mate
Thanks!
Thoughts on Zac Farro? Dude was putting out absolute heaters at like 13 years old with Paramore and HalfNoise is criminally under appreciated. Not a revolutionary drummer per-say, but his feel has been locked in since he was learning about long division
It's funny you mention the wrist clicking. I have the same issue. I think it stems from marching band, honestly.
If Blink were part of a different "wave" of punk than early 90's bands, then early 90's bands were not the "second" wave of punk, but instead the 4th or 5th!
The weird thing about travis is non-drummers love him because he’s flashy and has a super unique style. Drummers (and other musicians alike) usually don’t like him because of the genre(s) he plays Or they maybe don’t give the proper credit where it’s due. Me, however, am a drummer and huge fan! That guy is so technically advanced, it’s sad he doesn’t get the recognition deserves. I’ve seen him live about 4-5 times and I’ll notice a gospel style chop or a time signature manipulation and it blows my mind! One tour, he broke his right foot so he did everything (even the fast punk beats and mike portnoy style riffs) with his left foot on the slave side of a dbl kick pedal........ didn’t miss a beat. So awesome
The wrist clicky thing can be unrelated to his playing. Like 18 years ago, I was in third grade, so everyone was like 8-9 years old. And I had a friend that did that sometimes. Not a musician, nor a sports guy. Just your usual elementary school kid. I remember him trying to explain to me how he did that. I can't remember fully now as it was almost 20 years ago, but he said something about "locking in" his middle finger in an extended kinda way while throwing his wrist back over and over 🤷🏼♂️
Drummer at the wrong gig video is awesome.
Travis is a very technically proficient drummer. There are several videos of his demonstrating great technique. Part of being great at something is mastering the book and then throwing the book out the window. This is the same in a lot of skill sets. Some of the best people in any field, by the book, aren't doing it right but that doesn't mean they haven't mastered the "right" way. The right way isn't always the best way. He is a drummer, a musician, an artist, but moreover, he is an entertainer. Everything he does is entertaining.
Please don't misunderstand me. I agree with everything you said. I only talk about technique in regards to my students who don't have the great talent that Travis has to be able up overcome bad technique. Technique for the mortals if you will.
Catching up on your videos. Great beard! I was once mistaken for Ian Anderson.
Ps don't judge Travis on the most basic song of blink. Travis was a killer jazz musician watch his solos. I'm assuming you have now
I'm not a teacher but I can tell you the "stick tricks" are to avoid hand fatigue at that speed at that age
You couldn’t of chosen an easier song to play - Travis is a marching band drummer in the past - he can do almost anything - watch his warm up videos and review that !
I'll be doing more Travis down the road
Yeah, Travis Barker can have bad drum technique, but I don't know if you know, but Travis had lots of surgeries because of a terrible plain crash that he had in 2009 (or before) so, his wrist can be weird but I think it's because of the crash and the surgeries that he had after
That's a good point
Blink 182 used to be my favorite band. Both Scott and Travis era. They aren’t that great now.
You should do Watch the World by BoxCar Racer though. Also done by Travis Barker, and it’s an amazing/complex beat

@@dannylineberry2308 A Perfect Circle, Devo, The Vandals, and a bunch of other things, yeah. Chiefly I was thinking of the Vandals, just cause 90s punk. But the dude has drummed for seemingly everybody, if not as a member of the band, than at least as a session drummer.
Best drummer of our generation
React to Damon Che ( Don Caballero) or John Stanier (Battles)
Please do a different Travis song. Dammit was written before he was in the band. Imo neighborhoods was the album that showcases Travis a lot.
Yea brother after blink got Travis and after their first big album. They focus on Travis in the shoe a lot. Some shows they even move the drums forward. He also sometimes has a platform that goes upside down while he is soloing so yea like you said he is definitely putting on a show for the fans. Like I said blink makes the drummer a. Big part of a the show
Check our “DOWN” by blink. You will love that beat
