This guy is the Davie504 of drums Edit: After 9 months from posting this, I am now in agreement that Harry's content has more substance than Davie's videos. One reply compared him to Samurai Guitarist instead which I believe to be a more apt comparison.
I believe it was Buddy Rich that once said, never trust a right handed drummer with a left hand setup wearing a blazer that admires Travis Barker...or maybe it was Ruddy Bich who said it? In any event, sweet kit.
I'm really happy you showed at least one Boxcar Racer song. Boxcar often gets overlooked, and has in my opinion, some of Travis' greatest and most inventive drumming. I liked Travis from Blink, but Boxcar is what made me fall in love with him.
4:05 this explanation of swapping between different time approaches within the same tempo blew my mind. So simple in hindsight but it never dawned on me to think of it in that way, thanks Harry. :)
I've been a drum teacher since just about the start of Blink 182's recording career. For reasons I will never know, he was one of the most maligned and dismissed players of his day (which has lasted a very long time!). Many of the students I would teach for years in high schools would just randomly dog him, and I could never figure out why. Its funny now that much of Blink's earlier catalog is "retro" and my students today definitely dig what he does. I have always been a fan and respected the dude's chops and most of all, his creativity within the "Pop Punk" genre. A lot of good drummers from this type of music, but Travis was by far the most musical and creative in my opinion. Great stuff again from Harry!
You'll always have the stupid purists who refuse to listen to a band just because it's popular, and who'll automatically state that the musicians in it suck. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They probably secretly loved them and tried to learn how to drum like Travis and ended up realizing how ludicrous it was to make your 2 hands be in 5 places at the same time.
At the time, Barker was so heavy into brands, logos and displaying trendy images everywhere in the middle of the anti-trend punk/skate punk scene (and post-grunge, alternative, etc) that it was hard to take him seriously even though everyone knew he was a cut above. He was a walking skate shop sales rack of logos at all times ("Famous Stars and Straps" on everything including an album cover). Now that the context of the era is gone and people in general have, unfortunately, embraced establishment logos and branding, the distraction isn't there. You have to remember, he had a VH1 reality show with his wife and was esentially all about image and brands defining you (as opposed to the previous Cobain era of anti-brands). It was a major turn-off for the more dedicated-to-integrity music fans out there. It's honestly a lot to look past. But not only has he and Blink matured since the early aughts, but it goes to show how good he really is. Everyone looks past all that now to the point that it's hard to remember why he was scoffed at unless you really take the time to consider it (or lived in that era).
I think it's three reasons: One his solos are just fast 16th notes around the kit which isn't the most entertaining thing but so many drummers tend to elevate soloing over all else even though it's an extremely small portion of drumming and he nails it when he's actually playing to a song. The other thing is that his technique, although super entertaining, isn't necessarily very good and he's admitted to having tons of issues with pinched nerves towards the end of each tour. I WILL agree that that part of his playing can be dangerous for young drummers that don't really know what they're doing yet but try to imitate him. I do believe though that with proper training you can even achieve that strong arm movement but without tension. You just have to train specifically for it (for an example, take a look at Josh Dun's drumming from Twenty One Pilots. He achieves that same kind of arm motion but with much less tension during playing). Third thing is just jealousy. There's a lot of nuance that goes into drumming on a professional level that newer drummers don't see and they tend to think, "I can play like that, why is HE the one that makes all the money?"
Dude, no doubt that's probably how it is. I mean, for a while Blink as a whole didn't realize the drummer could help write songs. Marc and Tom just wrote songs and had Travis put some drums over it. Then they had a eureka moment and figured out that, surprise, all the members of the band could help write. So Travis probably just knows what sounds good.
Loved the vide. Alot of people give Travis crap for not being a "musical" drummer but he has a lot of finesse that gets overlooked by many. Thanks for bringing that more towards the light!
@@cThreep Hey man! I love your one song called I need air (I think that is what it's called)! So... you are watching a guy drumming like Travis, you only need a guy now that sounds like Tom Delonge and you could start your own Blink 182 band.
The way the drum groove informs the choruses on Every Time I Look For You literally makes the song as good as it is for me. It’s great to see a kit have so much agency over the song instead of just languishing in the back of the mix, a slumbering metronome with occasional fills. The guitar is literally just an octave droning over and over. It’s almost as if the two instruments have switched roles and the drumming is the lead to listen to.
Travis is seriously one of the best punk drummers of all time. I will always admire how incredibly well he moves around the kit. I'm glad you pointed out the fact that he uses the cymbals as an extension of the kit, that's probably my favorite thing that he does. Great video as always dude!
Steven Teal You need to widen your listening Earl Hudson, DH Peligro, Lucky Lehrer, Topper Headen, Robbo, Brooks Wackerman, Byron McMackin to start. Travis is ok but he has a way to go to get into such illustrious company though. Not enough drummers listen to Earl Hudson from Bad Brains who bridged the gap between punk and jazz. My favourite DH Peligro but could also be because I met him at a gig and chatted for ages and is a top man. A good starting point for a punk drummer though as like Tre Cool they tend to keep it simple.
@@heftyalan1152 but I think Travis is probably a top 5 most influential drummer, if you ever went to warped tour, there is like 90 travis copycat out of 100 drummers there.I'm not saying those drummers are in good bands(I don't even like most of the bands that go on warped tour)but you can't deny Travis' influence on the whole scene right now.
nanasemaru 1997 This reminds me of a post on Reddit "I don't know anything about drums but I know Travis Barker keeps rhythm like no other." This translates to me as Travis Barker looks cool and Blink 182 are great therefore he must be great. For me this is drummer judged on personality factor so how can his drumming live up to that as he has a massive personality. For me like Tommy Lee he is a showman. I used to play in a band which covered All the small things and Basket Case. Fun songs to play but nothing that will make anyone go wow. I try not to be rude about other drummers but I will be honest. Travis Barker is good at what he does. Is he overrated. Yes if you compare him to Jo Jo Meyer no if you compare him to others' but he is out there doing it influencing others' and that deserves respect but I would be pointing a new drummer towards AJ Pero (RIP) before Travis Barker or Matt Cameron ex Soundgarden. For me there are others' I would listen to first but if he influences people then good. If a punk wanted my recommendation on a punk drummer it would be Brooks Wackerman. I saw him live with Bad Religion and absolutely blew me away. Seriously unbelievable drummer and he would just throw in these Tony Williams style jazz ride patterns as outros for a few bars and then full power single bass drum for the very fast F*ck Armageddon This is Hell.
@@heftyalan1152 I agree, he is not that skilled like the others but we also can't deny that he is one of the most influential ones as many of the youtuber/drummer community cited him as their biggest influence. And I would also recommend Ilan Rubin(AVA and NIN)I saw him with paramore back in 2013 and it was glorious.
nanasemaru 1997 I completely agree and saw him with Lostprophets back when their name could be spoken aloud and you will see my comments on his short teaching vids. We agree Ilan Rubin is excellent and the drummer who should be the number 1 but that is the problem if you are not a player how do you distinguish?
The little animation you had for the changes between half, full, double, and punk time was sleek AF. Also, is that the reddest your face has ever been during a video?
Thank you for making this video! I can’t even begins to explain how much travis (and blink) inspired me. He was the reason I learned to play drums. And 14 years later I’m still replaying songs over and over to try and learn how to play like him. I also love when one of you videos pops up, love seeing how much drumming means to you because it’s inspires me to keep learning. Can’t wait to see more!
Thanks for watching dude sir. Now take a signed Travis stick already, will you?! Message me with your mailing address at ruclips.net/user/harrymireeabout
@@blakedavis2447 Scott was definitely the most into Rock/Metal out of all of them. He’s why those early albums/recordings were so raw, heavy, and intense. He started playing drums because of Metallica.
I seem to have the "no dude, Travis is actually very technical and a phenomenal musician" conversation with guys who think he's only good for playing loud a lot. This leads to me pulling up numerous RUclips videos of Travis displaying his marching chops or soloing in order to show how good he really is, because he's one of my favorites. This video is now at the top of the list, that was a great analysis and demonstration. Rock on, dude.
Your “5 Tips” vids are brilliant, Harry. And I predict this one’s going viral, Dude. There are not enough cowbells in the world to punctuate how vital your drum teaching and covers are. Fellow Duders, show Harry some Patreon love!
This video is a masterpiece. You got amazing knowledge, chops, you do a great job characterizing the style, and put it all together with your parented brand of humor
That was such a wonderful tribute, entertaining as hell ! Always knew Travis was a good drummer but never knew how good until now. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Travis would even agree with you there but he seems to hit the drums harder and faster than any other drummer I know, and the guy plays with pure physical force and passion. I've been playing for 14 years and STILL cannot touch the guys drum tracks. One of my all time top drumming heroes
I love pop punk. Blink 182 will always be a part of my life. Just like he said, they were my first everything in music. I personally think people jump on the bandwagon of hate because majority don’t want to associate a pop punk band with anyone great. They see pop or punk in the label and immediately write it off. Those people are more quick to choose heavy metal or alternative drummers as one of the greats, but Travis is highly underrated! Guy kills so much and last I checked, haven’t seen many that can carry a drum solo while suspended upside down, constantly spinning, with flames about. Just sayin’! 😂
First time seeing your channel. Absolutely incredible. Your playing is so tight and crisp and you achieve Travis's sound so well. Your eye brow movement frightens me but you are already one of my favorites.
I can't believe you crushed those licks so hard in a suit jacket when I think Travis Barker's ideal drumming state of attire is full-ass naked. Props, man.
This video came up on my recommendations list and was admittedly the first time I saw you, however I laughed a few times during this video and I LOVE your approach to drum videos and content in general... really awesome man, can’t wait to see more of you 👍🏻
Don't know what to say. That video was awesome. Shared your cajon video with some folks who keep asking me to play cajon. They thought it was hilarious. Still playing cajon ...
Where has this channel been all my life? As a former drummer, this is amazing. Embarrassing how many exceptionally talented drummers I’ve never heard of. Thank you RUclips. In awe, Harry.
Yeah, but My original comment would remain true if you were to replace the name Travis Barker with Dave Grohl. Dave's a monster. A nice, humble, friendly monster
How do you feel about Stewart Copland? Would you perhaps be interested in covering something from the police catalogue, and if I'm dreaming here maybe even a "boo yeah moves" about him? He has such an enigmatic style, I imagine much of the drumming community would love to have some help trying to figure him out.
Dude, I have to admit my opinion on this band (Blink 182) took a total 180° when I stopped thinking of them as a band and started thinking of them as a Travis Barker showcase with some catchy hooks mixed in. And for that dude, I have you to thank, more specifically this video you put out. I'm not going to call this life changing, but I've been gobbling up Blink tracks at a rate that has started to have my family ask questions, led to numerous broken sticks, and one poor drum head losing its battle with the kick pedal. Thank you dude, love your work, Another dude
Your setup might just be the most ergonomically correct things I've ever seen. It makes perfect sense to me and I might just change me layout. I also aspire to have as much fun as you do behind the kit.
@@paradigmshiftz7 Nah. Dude Ranch is great as it is and Wouldn’t have it any other way. It paved the way for Travis to join and gave everyone the Blink we all know today.
Dude! you are a fuc!!!!!! great drummer, love how you break down these great drummers' techniques especially Travis and Carter. The way you play these clips make me appreciate them even more. Keep up the good work.
Harry, I love you, You make my day, I love your videos, I love the CCC level, I love the KYHTFTDTPTATMFAOAO and all the rad stuff you share with us dudes and dudettes. Keep up the good stuff, be well and keep rocking

What I took from this: Travis is a metalhead.

And yet he plays with some hip-hop or plain pop guys.

He'd throw that away and get a snare, a cloth to put over it, and a pair of sticks
He would bust a hole in it hahah

honestly, the Adams song groove makes me want to pick up drums.

First time seeing your channel. Absolutely incredible. Your playing is so tight and crisp and you achieve Travis's sound so well. Your eye brow movement frightens me but you are already one of my favorites.
I can't believe you crushed those licks so hard in a suit jacket when I think Travis Barker's ideal drumming state of attire is full-ass naked. Props, man.
When I close my eyes it sounds like T.J Miller is showing me how to play drums 😂😂😂
ShadeMedia same same it’s a Luke Wilson lookalike who sounds like T.J Miller
This video came up on my recommendations list and was admittedly the first time I saw you, however I laughed a few times during this video and I LOVE your approach to drum videos and content in general... really awesome man, can’t wait to see more of you 👍🏻
i’ve watched this video at least 20 times. upon every rewatch i want to listen to more blink.
The Dude makes me SO HAPPY! Simply amazing drums, incredible presentation and immaculate humour. LOVE YOU HARRY!
Don't know what to say. That video was awesome. Shared your cajon video with some folks who keep asking me to play cajon. They thought it was hilarious. Still playing cajon ...
Video quality is much higher on the informational videos. Duderiffic job
Where has this channel been all my life? As a former drummer, this is amazing. Embarrassing how many exceptionally talented drummers I’ve never heard of. Thank you RUclips. In awe, Harry.
Thanks so much for this, I’m an aspiring drummer, and Travis was one of my main influences, you really captured his essence. Once again I thank you.
Travis gets so much hate he doesn't deserve. Other drummers may be better players, but NO ONE has the style, and sheer FUN that Travis does.
Jake Greene Grohl.
Well crap.
Grohl does not that that Barker technique tho
Yeah, but My original comment would remain true if you were to replace the name Travis Barker with Dave Grohl. Dave's a monster. A nice, humble, friendly monster
I would not mention his style, sheer or fun, but the CREATIVITY Barker has.....I mean FUCK!!!! He is undoubtedly the number
How do you feel about Stewart Copland? Would you perhaps be interested in covering something from the police catalogue, and if I'm dreaming here maybe even a "boo yeah moves" about him? He has such an enigmatic style, I imagine much of the drumming community would love to have some help trying to figure him out.
Plus his Spyro soundtracks are some of the greatest ever.
The commentary is what makes these videos so great. Best on the webs.
Dude, I have to admit my opinion on this band (Blink 182) took a total 180° when I stopped thinking of them as a band and started thinking of them as a Travis Barker showcase with some catchy hooks mixed in. And for that dude, I have you to thank, more specifically this video you put out. I'm not going to call this life changing, but I've been gobbling up Blink tracks at a rate that has started to have my family ask questions, led to numerous broken sticks, and one poor drum head losing its battle with the kick pedal.
Thank you dude, love your work,
Another dude
Both Travis and this video are Dudetastic, dude.

Your setup might just be the most ergonomically correct things I've ever seen. It makes perfect sense to me and I might just change me layout.
I also aspire to have as much fun as you do behind the kit.
Dang I love Travis, and I love drumsticks, dang I love Travis drumsticks
He said Dammit and that’s a Blink song
Drums For Life sadly Travis wasn't in blink at the time Dude Ranch was released. If he was, Dude Ranch would be more awesome
@@paradigmshiftz7 Nah. Dude Ranch is great as it is and Wouldn’t have it any other way. It paved the way for Travis to join and gave everyone the Blink we all know today.
dont even play drums but came here for travis ....stayed for the man doing the video
Travis doesn't get the respect he deserves and I just watched you in awe!
Dude....best drum channel on the web
Travis is my biggest inspiration
Great video man. I agree I really think all of that highlights what makes Travis sound like Travis! One of my favorite drummers!
Dude! you are a fuc!!!!!! great drummer, love how you break down these great drummers' techniques especially Travis and Carter. The way you play these clips make me appreciate them even more. Keep up the good work.
Harry, I love you, You make my day, I love your videos, I love the CCC level, I love the KYHTFTDTPTATMFAOAO and all the rad stuff you share with us dudes and dudettes. Keep up the good stuff, be well and keep rocking
2 videos in a week? am i high?
One the best video I've seen where someone nailed Barker's style. Nice job dude.
Holy shit your description of the transitions between half, full, double and punk time is basically what got me into drums. 10/10. Sub’d.
OMG! If JIm Carrey was teaching you drumming! Love it!
"You bleed from your hands & cry for your mom"
I learned drums by imitating Travis Barker and Tre Cool. Great video and it took me back!! Love it
Your “Dogs Eating Dogs” fill!! Spot on my man!
You forgot the most important...
6) Be a god.
Wait I just discovered you! Get another Travis signed stick!!!!! D:
Dude. I really enjoyed this video - the drumming was lovely and your “dryness” makes my day. Thanks and take care
You're the first lefty drummer I've ever liked.
This video is super useful, thank you!
dudes
How was that was the first video by you that I’ve seen?! You bet your sweet ass I subscribed. Awesome work
Heyyyyy can do you do something on Matt Garstka... He's a crazy dude
Garstka is an octopus.
Edouard DaBest yes
PLEASE DO
Dude, I just found out Matt was born in 1989?! He started Playing since -1 y/o or what?!
and he has a brain on each limb , and each one its on a different time signature lol
This guy gives me Ryan Reynolds vibes 😂
Been drumming for 20 years and still can’t even come remotely close to barker. Awesome video.
How have I not known you before? Travis = legend. You made him proud.
Dude I own the Travis Barker Merch Stick Bag for that stick, dude!
Carbon have you tried to put this in your stick bag?

Harry Miree How dare this not appear on my notifications, my phone clearly needs more cowbell! Im sending you a message right now, no worries if you chose someone else already.
Neighborhoods was a banger. I don’t think it gets the love it deserves
Travis does some of my favorite high-hat work Ive ever heard
