Drummer Hears Blink 182 For The First Time

[@Nova-kv8ip]

Holy crap your underrated

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Dude thank you! Means a lot 😄

[@_NPJ]

This is such a great concept! Please do more. I’d way rather hear drummers do this - hear a drumless track and guess what the drums will be - instead of them hearing the song with drums and trying to replicate it perfectly as quickly as possible. It’s amazing how “Travis-esque” your parts are but yet how different it is from the studio track. It’s like a second take from Travis. Love it.

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thank you very much! Travis rules and I’m happy to hear that you think I was able to play in his style 🤘😄🤘

[@arcazon2485]

This was honestly fun to watch. Do more guesstimation videos with this format. Love your drumming and then love your reaction to the actual drumming on the song. Keep up the great work!

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thank you very much! Guesstimation is a great term haha. More to come!

[@andrewgilman8835]

"Dude you'll never guess what Travis is playing on this." -Me

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Haha you were correct!

[@zotal1825]

"That groove is sooo cool" True shit bro.. that's what Travis does and something I love him for.. He's not the best but he definitely does have a way of making the drum sound better ❤️

[@DruMarshallDrums]

He is uniquely himself at all times behind the kit. You always know it’s him!

[@jacobvandijk2184]

This was incredibly entertaining. I can't explain why, but keep doing whatever you did here :)

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thanks for the kind words! Will do! 🫡🥁

[@tate7908]

do more like thissss!! awesome video man 🔥

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thank you very much! Shall do 😄🥁

[@ezequiasduran]

Nice video! And very realistic btw... Thanks for not be like Drumeo and say "I never heard All The Small Things" 😂 you should do with Black Rain... Definetly the most unexpexted song from Travis

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thanks for watching! Haha yeah everyone has heard Blink 182! And thanks for the suggestion, I’ll keep that in mind!

[@jeremiepaquette]

came for the blink-182, stayed for the drums. I'M voting you do every blink song you havent heard !! lol

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Haha I’ll do my best to complete the assignment! 😆🫡

[@ourowndesign]

Travis's stuff was obviously great, but I liked your version going into double time! Sounded great. I saw Blink last night in Dublin, Travis was IMMENSE.

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Dude I just saw a Travis video from that Dublin show, he was going nuts! Thanks for watching! 🤘😄

[@danielpadgett2124]

You crushed it man!! Hell yea - keep it up. Love your vids!

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Hope you like the next ones! 😄🥁

[@andresmaurimonges7712]

This is one of the best blink 182 songs, it's incredible

[@DruMarshallDrums]

It’s such a jam! Thanks for watching! 😄🥁

[@zotal1825]

I feel this sounds more like something Scott would be playing..Travis is more evolved sharp even when he's smashing everything around.. Overall, I think you did a pretty good job keeping the Blink182 vibe on it 😁

[@SoundPixelProductions]

Love these style of videos. With your personality and skill, your channel is going to go far. Here's to many more!

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thank you very much! I’m excited to make more 😄🥁🤘

[@dextermorgan4432]

I was seriously not convinced. Because some of these types, with guitar, bass, and drums (especially) have became a big deal. Which i love them. I refuse to believe everyone hasn't heard a lot of the songs they claim thiley haven't. This? Oh, i don't doubt you never heard this, it shows. And i love you for it. I need this shit more.

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Your comment had me worried in the first half haha. Thanks for watching! I appreciate the kind words 😄🥁

[@Jaimebreak]

Very happy you did this video! Incredible job of Travis, more videos like this!!!

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thank you very much! Will do! 🫡😄🥁

[@00SNIVY00]

It's been a little while since I've heard this song, but I couldn't quite remember the drum part to the song, and your second take could've easily convinced me, this was super cool to watch!! And you're definitely sleeping on some really good Blink music! California is my favorite Blink album, Matt Skiba is amazing and I kinda wish we got to see more of him with Mark and Travis! Not the same vibe as what people might be used to, but it's really good!

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thanks for watching! I totally slept on those Skiba albums, some great stuff on there!

[@PhiferFootball]

Everyone hated on California but left alone and Teenage satellite totally rocked. Honestly the album was solid overall but obv not their best one

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Hey, solid is good enough for me! 🤘🥁😄

[@craig2196]

​@DruMarshallDrums definitely overhated, I think a lot of people assumed the same as you. Even if the album was decent, "It's not Blink without Tom" so everyone hated not even willing to listen to the album.

[@DruMarshallDrums]

@@craig2196 yeah I should have been more open minded when it first came out!

[@craig2196]

@DruMarshallDrums If you are going to listen to the album, I recommend listening to only the deluxe songs first. Everyone agrees that the Deluxe songs are better than the original songs. And just to cover my ass. It's in my opinion that it's their worst release, but there's a difference between worst and objectively bad. It's a 6-7/10, but when you're comparing it to 10/10 Enema, TOYPAJ, and Self-Titled, it seems terrible.

[@quintonroberts5529]

This is one of my favorite blink albums, of course i LOVE Tom, but the "Matt" era of blink WAS something special. A LOT of great tracks on this. Enema of the State is still top tier though.

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Enema is one of my favorite pop punk records ever! But I definitely slept on the Matt era. Definitely great stuff there!

[@DruMarshallDrums]

@JacobBlack-i4k I was wrong to skip those!

[@Sir-Complains-a-Lot]

subbed! that drum face is just ... perfect! love to see you play and have fun!

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Haha if you’re not making drum faces, you’re not having enough fun!

[@bonawah876]

This was so dope. Please do many more!!

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thanks for the kind words! Will do! 😄🥁

[@olaf3140]

Very reasonable guesses at what he might've done, but I also immediately knew there was just no way he was gonna get it right! That's part of what makes Travis so great, yeah he's got a style but every now and then he just does some stuff you could've never predicted.

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Exactly! He’s totally unpredictable!

[@AmarATWA]

This was rad man, would love to hear you try another blink song you haven’t heard. Or if not blink def do Angels and Airwaves! Ilan Rubin & Atom Willard are amazing drummers.

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thank you for watching! Ilan is amazing, I’d love to do an AvA song.!

[@Haganracing]

First time seeing any of your videos. Loved it 🔥

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thank you very much! Hope you stick around! 🥁😄

[@Low-Key_Awesome]

I too have never heard this song and I’ll be honest I think I liked your version better overall.. I feel like Travis has recorded soo many songs that he feels the need to one up and over complicate certain parts just for the sake of doing something different than what he’s done in the past and it doesn’t always serve the song the best. Now there are parts of his performance I liked more but overall yours had a better feel for a pop punk song. Never seen your videos before but I subscribed hoping for more videos like this 😅

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thank you for watching and for the kind words! I can see what you mean, Travis has a reputation for always pushing himself and it can be difficult after recording so many songs to keep doing that. I’ll definitely keep making more videos, I appreciate the sub! 🫡🥁

[@-Gax-]

Another drummer to emulate, you say? Dave Grohl Songs for the dead (if you haven't heard it) or something from the Foo Fighters new album as I am under the belief that Dave did all the drums. If not, the FF self-titled is all him

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Dave Grohl rules!! I plan on doing a video about Monkey Wrench (there’s an older version with another drummer and apparently Dave didn’t like it so he redid the drums himself) and I’ll try to guess which one is Dave!

[@lka2908]

Please do more of these videos!!!

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Can do! I’ve got some fun ideas coming up and after I finish those, I’ll do more “what would x drummer play?” 😄🥁

[@arizavala5297]

Hopefully you do another blink video like this!

[@DruMarshallDrums]

I definitely will! Have a few videos I’m gonna post before that but there will be another blink one for sure!

[@brandenhall9254]

That was fun to watch/listen to. Keep it up man

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thank you very much! 😄🥁

[@EricNeuls]

this is fun! just got recommended this after watching antrax's drummer do a Blink song on Drumeo so this is gonna gain some more traction i think!

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Whoop! Thank you very much, I’m glad you dug it! 😄

[@DK-ym3mg]

nice! and nice mix/panning on your kit

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thank you! You’re the first person to mention the audio aspect, I really appreciate that 😄🥁

[@Man12354]

That was awesome man great job

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thanks for watching! Hope you like the next one!

[@randgriz96]

Good video man, it's a nice interpretation

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thanks for watching! 😄🥁

[@drummerstar1190]

No way you haven't hear blink before I have that hard to believe unless you don't have the radio on ever

[@DruMarshallDrums]

I hadn’t heard that song before, I’ve definitely heard Blink 182!

[@ChristopherLock]

song is so underrated ..u did a great job so diff to what travis played

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thank you very much! Travis is the man!

[@StephiOooooo]

This is my favorite video you’ve made!! More of this!!!!🎉

Guilty! 🤣🤣🤣

Great stuff dude

Thank you very much! 😄🥁

[@Ericperrott]

Blink 182 and Alkaline Trio were two of my favorite bands when I was 16 and that was the first time I heard anything from Blink with Matt Skiba on it.

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Skiba rules this song. He’s got a great range!

Funny cause I had never heard this song either and the whole time I'm telling myself "no, I think Travis would do hat rolls in the verse" or "naw in the chorus Travis is definately smashing the crash more"

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Yeah he surprised me with this one!

[@drummerAVA]

The best Skiba-era track IMO… 😮‍💨

[@-Gax-]

California B-side Good old days or Misery, Thank me later

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Such a powerful chorus!

[@geoffnewman7668]

I’m no drummer but he is hitting a lot more drumbs and symbols than you were. Travis is known for this.

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thanks for watching!

[@devinnore]

6:37 but for the entire song

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Noted! 🤘😄🤘

[@davidwitt1758]

It was a Grammy nomination album

[@DruMarshallDrums]

I never knew that but it’s well deserved!

[@zaishimshim5979]

Love your bridge version

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thank you very much! 😄🥁

[@K0K0BB]

california actually has some pretty good songs, like no future, bored to death, rabbit hole, dont mean anything (deluxe version) and (ironically the best song on the album, imo) left alone. nine on the other hand is a total fail. "first time" is the only listenable song, but merely because it is a worse version of feeling this.

[@DruMarshallDrums]

I gotta check out “first time” to hear the similarity!

[@therobotsguidetoliving7590]

this was awesome.

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thanks for the kind words! 😄🥁

[@zumzam4456]

😁 that is such a cool video idea!

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Thank you! It was a blast to film 😄

[@codycast]

Why not just use one of the songs from “One More Time” ?

[@DruMarshallDrums]

I heard that album before I had the idea for this video 🤣

[@codycast]

@@DruMarshallDrums ah. Fair enough 👍🏼 (Btw I’m an old skool blink fan as in watched them in local San Diego bars before the “182” and I have to say the new album is one of my favorites)

[@DruMarshallDrums]

@@codycast I'm jealous! Wish I could have seen them back in the day!

[@codycast]

@@DruMarshallDrums yeah. I saw them when they were just “blink”. In places like Soma with maybe 50 people watching.

[@JeffManseau]

Well played and honestly true to form for Travis so even when you were off the mark you might as well have been because it was basically luck at that point. If I may offer one man's constructive piece criticism: I wish you'd explained a bit more WHY you chose to play what you played instead of just stating it. Also could've been fun to review the final product section by section. Cheers mate good luck!

[@DruMarshallDrums]

That’s a great point! Next time I’ll go more in depth and explain the choices I make for those drum parts. Thanks for watching!

[@toastandbananas6367]

what is the crash on your left (right side of the video, above your hi-hat, that flew into your face a couple times)? sounds so good

[@DruMarshallDrums]

It’s a Meinl 16” Byzance Dual Crash cymbal. Get yourself one, you won’t regret it! Thanks for watching!

[@pau1rose]

Great video! subbed.

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Means a lot 😄 thank you so much!

[@nathanhollow0]

how bout just do this again with travis haha

[@DruMarshallDrums]

🫡🫡🫡

[@TerryTrowbridge]

The 2 albums with Matt are really good, but it's not blink. It kind of reminds me of Sammy Hagar with Van Halen, great music, just not the OG.

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Well said! I’m a fan of David Lee Roth and Hagar so that’s a good analogy

[@TerryTrowbridge]

@@DruMarshallDrums Sammy’s on tour right now doing a tribute to his Van Halen days!

i didn't listen to the non-tom stuff either. 1999-2003, neighbourhoods, dogs eating dogs, and one more time are the ones that i've heard. blink is the mark, tom, and travis show, not anyone else

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Someone recently said that they look at it as Van Halen vs Van Hagar and that helped me appreciate the Skiba era more. It’s not the same but I do like a few tunes from them!

[@christianbauer8852]

Better than the OG actually

[@DruMarshallDrums]

Damn that’s high praise, thank you! 😄🥁

[@Trevlad11]

Really enjoyed this… as someone who has overlooked both albums with Matt Skiba.. you wasn’t miles off it! I was very impressed.. but Trav is in a total league of his own and that’s taking nothing away from you my friend 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 I would’ve been happy if Trav had played what you played.. really enjoyed the Vid 👍🏻 good stuff

Wow thank you for the kind words! Travis is indeed in a league of his own and will always be among the legendary drummers of our time. Did you hear blink released a teaser of 4 new songs recently? They’re sweet!
