Megadrummers Adrian Young and Travis Barker performing their exclusive collaborative performance at the Guitar Center's Drum Off 2005 Grand Finals at the historic Wiltern Theatre in LA, CA.

[@lukeb5372]

Still watching this in 2022 and I started drumming in 05. One of my favs

[@jacobcrock4515]

Still here in 2022 myself bro

[@liarlyre8998]

Yup im back as well. Watch this video at oeast once a year.

[@LowDKiey]

Still fresh to watch😭🔥

[@OsagieGuobadia]

Nice. 😀👍🏿

[@BorjaDukiFernandez]

2023 here

[@alinadrummergirl]

Travis is so energetic when it comes to drumming! Although he uses a lot of improv which is good. Travis is definitely one of my favorite drummers!

[@oceantube3473]

travis with the precision snare marching band solo. jack of all trades

[@andreassmrelax]

Still watching this in 2023 my late lil brother was obsessed/introduced me, inspires me to this day to get learning the drums RIP Connor 2/11/1994-11/13/2011 ❤️🥁

[@bethshair]

You can't beat Travis' combination of energy and precision. Even when he's seems like going totally out of control, he's actually in total control. I love him!!

[@vlcmstn0306]

I was front and center for this. To be there and feel their vibes, man it was amazing. Watching this takes me back. That was a good night!!

[@keithstover4249]

There's something people need to understand while watching videos like this... The two artists are jamming out together, they are not trying to one up each other. Music is an expression and there is no right or wrong way to do it, there are no winners. Anything like a "drum off" or a "battle of the bands" is just a fancy way to market something. We have football and hockey to give us competitions. When it comes to music, it's about chilling out and enjoying the show

[@danmoar5102]

Well in a battle of the bands comp with prizes, it's a literal competition to win a prize, so

[@michaelwinans4853]

So much this. I remember doing a "battle of the bands" in high school, and someone was surprised that I let a guy from the previous band borrow my bass strap because he forgot his. Wtf am I supposed to do, make him sit on the floor and play??

[@dannyhawkeye1412]

I know I’m mega late on the comment but yes thank you. I at no point read drum off as competition I read it as how they did it just back and forth jam

[@stanpopovsky]

However, they show everything they are capable of. Just because it's jam doesn't mean they're equally good. They don't just have different styles - one of them is better. And who is better is obvious. I'm a big No Douth fan and I love what the drummer is doing there, but Baker is a monster. He's just better and it's not a matter of taste.

[@ejandrews3065]

the guy that miced up the kit is possibly the best sound guy ever

[@TheNextPwner]

i missed the buss to school by watching this awesome shit

[@SaraHessXXIV]

It’s worth it

[@thekid1568]

Sure is

[@phucnguyenquang4302]

And now your child miss their bus to school by watching this awesome shit :)))

[@paranoidbuck6044]

GODDAMN travis is so into it! Why he is one of my favorite drummer for sure!

travis plays with his whole body i love it

WE WANTS ADRIAN YOUNG & TRAVIS BARKER DRUM OFF 2020

[@24hnilson76]

2005... and still awesome! Drums on a higher level. Luv it.

[@Thunderdog73]

Those pixels were awesome

[@roboticsandwich8139]

It was 2005 what do you expect

[@garfieldmartinez87]

Still watching in 2023… I watch this like 4 times a year

[@garrettwwhite]

one of Travis best gifts is that you could cut off the sound and still tell he rocking out, he puts a ton of heart into it. I can't judge on technical part, i don't know enough, but everything he does gets me going and watching him is never boring.

[@mikethecrimson]

Talent isn't always about how complicated and intricate the thing is. You need to know how to use silence and simplicity mixed with complexity to produce something amazing. Travis uses that and brings the excitement with it.

[@nicholasflores8783]

Even though Adrian young had a pretty simplistic solo on those timbales ...the amount of groove, feel and flow is something you cannot teach

[@Leasafb1]

Me too still watching Travis kill it, all these years later he is the best. Don't ever stop being you Travis you're the best

[@imoscarbluth]

ugh i remember like 4 years ago my brother showed me this video and it still never stops amazing me every time i come across it

[@Mr.Xarxes]

Travis barker all the way

[@kenfaulkner2695]

There's no winner here. Theres no way to pick a winner. They're both amazingly talented in their own regard, and they each have their own styles. I may prefer Adrian's style more, but I still recognize barker for the insane amount of chops the guy has

[@over1498]

I'm not saying they aren't both talented. But you need to get your ears checked. I suppose you're right "nobody won" in that it literally wasn't a contest and no winner was chosen. But we all know who would have won if judges had to choose. Try listening to it without watching, and see who you think is more skilled.

[@mattroyce]

@@over1498 so... who won?

[@daveczarnik6017]

Travis DESTROYED Adrian

[@blondechick9804]

One of the best drum off I’ve ever seen!! Travis Barker was pure fkn 🔥!! He won hands down!!

[@itachi7samadan]

Travis always plays something that makes you wanna get up out your seat. Good job homie.

[@Sershine]

Travis will always be my drum hero but Adrian did a great role also.

[@partyboyrocks69]

travis's thoughts: man i haven't had a good warm up like that in a while ... time to go eat some breakfast

[@OsagieGuobadia]

I notice that drums are a cool instrument that everyone can play. They sound awesome. That’s why, I love music with instruments more often. 😀👍🏿

[@rachelechappell]

OMG 2 of my favorite drummers together = AWESOME!

[@drewmarini1]

Travis is the GOAT

[@rebelguy9487]

Getting Outrageously Awful Tattoos

[@adamcarrington5221]

Travis is underrated. He plays in blink 182 yes. But the guy is a natural talent. He can do a hell of a lot more than he shows. He’s a big influence on my drumming and I mainly listen to metal. I grew up on box car, blink and all of that. He’s an excellent performer. Give the guy his due. He is excellent at what he does.

[@trevorhubbard6006]

I've literally heard people say he sucks because he doesn't double bass. I'd love to see him do it to shut people up. Lol he was sick in the boxcar album and blink 182's live album the mark Tom and Travis show

[@onelifeonechance1987]

Trevor Hubbard double bass is such a novelty.

[@Kiwitakimago]

He is not underrated, he is in high demand for fill-ins and special projects! He is great and everyone knows it!!!

[@tylermcdonald9372]

Funny how he’s better with single foot than most double bass players

[@The77nathan77]

both fantastic

[@gnarlydudesam]

awesome. big fan of both drummers. i love youngs lit up drums

[@leonardogonzalez3093]

Wow I knew Travis was sick but shit I'm blown away

[@alfertvaldez5240]

It's no contest Travis would win this drum off

[@joshocean1856]

i watched this in high school in 06. still awesome

[@ddrumska]

the fact that they drum for a living stands to reason....THEY ARE AWESOME DRUMMERS!!

[@7101998GreenDay]

Even the guys who hate Travis know that he won it.

[@jturquoise]

Pssshhhh Not even close

[@ClarkKasheta]

Whenever they go into a fill, I'm like, "is he gonna make it?" Something shakey about their playing.

[@RivalOktora]

This is why i love travis !

[@josefsarkis2332]

Travis is a beast, good show!!!!

[@BlueMcDaniel]

That marching snare is dumb clean.

[@rimenuir910]

Bruh, he just diddled for like half a minute, not all that impressive.

[@danmoar5102]

@@rimenuir910 he was saying the drum itself sounded snappy and clean. But yeah, that extended drum roll was probably the least impressive part. Nice sounding marching snare though, good timbre

[@rimenuir910]

@@danmoar5102 Nice year late reply.... snare sounds nice but the lumpiness of the player ruins it.

[@superkas]

I like Travis self-taught vibe and fact he's successful into developing something of his own style, so distintive yet really genius, and you the haters, so called yourself a pro and think you could play with better technic but end up sounds like everybody anywhere else. One thing I hate about drummer is when they has a privilage and all that stuff like attending drumming school then bitchin' other drummer who has the style like Travis does have. In the end, everything is about feeling and enjoyment, I respect 'bout theory tho but come on man, fuck that shit...

[@leanddromusic]

They are both great.

[@gsmack9636]

Travis is just on another planet somewhere on a whole another level.

[@kingklicknick95]

Travis is the best. No competition

Not even close

😂

I'm just glad that I can see 2 skilled drummers in action. Who is better is to individual taste, I just love seeing these 2 drummers kick their beats.

[@devongonzalez2037]

Started playing drums in 04-05. As a young kid I taught myself to play small fills with my left hand while still hitting the crash with my right because of this video

[@ivanercia8619]

Ivan Ercia who said he was? Lol...everyone knows he more in the jazz scene

[@JazzyJonas]

Travis Barker: Best ever? no. Travis Barker: Pretty damn good? yes.

[@reggaerock]

Impossible to say who the best is. I don't know that there's any thing Travis CAN'T do that other drummers can aside from acrobatic theatrics.

[@autotunevitor4196]

Go see him now!

[@joeymiller3907]

He's good but there's allot of drummers that blow him away.

[@MrBoottz]

Travis Barker! The God of All Drummers! I Worship You!

[@aquariandragonhare8953]

Ain't no drum off. Tis a drum colaberation. Love both of their druming

[@ellamp_4408]

Adrian Young sounds like he's been playing wid some PVC pipes.

[@jamesonbornholdt5891]

don't know if this is a drum off or a duet but....Travis kicked Adrian's ass

[@barrettarq]

They both suck in plain view!

[@jamesonbornholdt5891]

Oh is it plain? my bad, I was just thinking that since they both look like really good drummers and Travis is one of the most popular drummers of all time, I just thought maybe they ARE good. But, apparently they suck and your opinion makes total sense....total sense..............total sense..................................................................total sense.............

[@barrettarq]

It is not "MY bad" it is "Am I bad" started from a ghetto phrase that white people always screw up... because they are white.

[@jamesonbornholdt5891]

hahahaha wow. Who told you that?

[@Jan_von_S]

drum off is the Name of the festival/gig/occaison, not what These to Drummers actually do. of course this was scripted, like any rock Show :)

[@BxSQUIRREL]

so sick.. travis makes drumming looks so cool

[@SlaterBeatz]

Great collaboration

[@stevecash83]

@gitchigoomi What the hell!??! Barker is the shit! What!??! I mean seriously, what are you using in comparrison!??!? Where the hell do you get off saying "Barker simply isn't that good"!??!??

[@user-vc5rp7nf8f]

its night and day. travis is way more creative, musical, and expressive. glad he didn't become a trashman because it would've been a huge waste

[@Thai193ify]

very nice video, both of them are awesome

[@GGBundy]

I played in the blue devils for 3 years and I learned so much in those years. I see a lot of that in his playing. He is surely not one of my favorite drummer but he didn't get to where he is now by just being okay. He loves his music and his instrument and that's cool in my book.

[@7101998GreenDay]

Adrian Young has technique while Barker has speed...

[@dannyherrera1598]

7101998GreenDay Barker has speed and technique. Didn't use much technique here though. Typical hater. Barker won hands down although young was awesome too! Loved his piece (not the congas part though 😑)

[@7101998GreenDay]

I have to say Adrian was nice, but Travis won. Nice drumming, anyways.

[@icedrummer4]

Travis' keepin with time is crazyness!

[@DrummerGrrrl]

That was really cool!

[@dudewuttheheck]

When is someone going to shame all the Barker fans by showing him vs. someone who can really solo like Tony Royster Jr.?

[@jonathanzambrano6349]

Javier Rodriguez if you think Travis can't hang with Tony then you don't know Travis's background. He is well versed in many styles and I'm quite confident that he would hold his own against any drummer it there. He is often just placed in a box because of the band he plays with.

[@3_7s777]

Javier Rodriguez Tony is a fuckin beast.

That snare solo sucked, just diddles, flams, and some hertas thrown in.
