Never overrated. Travis is one of the best drummers of this generation. I don't care about how complex he can or cannot play, the guy has style. The guy has dynamics as well as original parts, simple beats and complex fills. It's not overplaying. He picks his spaces. He is an entertainer, and he is doing it right. Don't tell me you can go to a Travis Barker show and never be entertained. He has a feel and a sound that I've never heard from anyone. When I hear a song and think "oh wait, that's Travis!", that obviously means he has succeeded at becoming an original drummer. He will be and should be one of the most iconic drummers in the future when we look back at how he played. I never knew how amazing he was until I saw him live. Once that happened, he instantly became a huge influence on me, forever changing the amount of energy and passion I have while I perform.

Zildjian i love you, but you failed miserably. How did you not record the intro to the song!!!!!!? This saddens me

[@paradigmshiftz7]

Sidney Swenson more like "how could they have not recorded Travis' drum solo, let alone the intro?"

[@plutonium120]

apparently cause there's no cymbals in that part...

[@YoupHummelink]

Is it just me or does the drum intro of this song sound a lot like the drum intro of Song For The Dead by Queens Of The Stone Age?

Drummer Nate Carter Beauford. mmmhmmm. But the facists at zildjian wont break down any of his playing

[@natereynoso5281]

yeh aha idk who that is but ill cheak him out! i personally like Travis cause he's original but c'mon you gotta admit Travis is raw

[@jwildman95bamf]

Drummer Nate Travis is the drummer that everyone who starts playing drums adores because he overplays on popular rock songs. There are few bands out there like Blink where the drummer is well known and travis is as popular as he is because of how he overplayed a lot of the blink tracks and then sold out to do crap with MTV and hip hop artists. Is he a good drummer? Ya he has good speed and I enjoy his use of tom beats but if you ask any drummer that's been playing for awhile, they will tell you travis barker is overrated

[@fredstone9016]

i would love to hear all the variations he'd write to his music.obviously studio is a showcase to boredom, repetition, and that perfect note or snare for that song, but live is the exact opposite which is, this is my art, and its living.. lets keep it living and alive by doing whatever the fu*K i want to.

[@Eduardo-dd4kn]

Na melhor parte, o áudio falha!!

[@grizzlywhisker]

i tried his signature sticks a couple times when they first came out and they had a great feel but i broke them in like 5 minutes lol. i wouldn't mind using them again but i just break them way too fast for some reason. vic firth wood tip 'metal' style is where it's at for me.

[@liveraddieradder]

Zildjian drumsticks are trash. I love their cymbals but the 3-4 times I've used Zildjian sticks they've broken within 15 minutes.

[@bd_drums7673]

@@liveraddieradder you know zildjian and vic virth sticks are made in the same place by the same people out the same material right? lmao

[@liveraddieradder]

​@@bd_drums7673 Fake news. Maybe I've just always gotten the one bad pair of Zildjian sticks from the stack, but I've tried them on numerous occasions and had the tips break off and the stick break in half after 15 minutes of playing, Sound Percussion sticks are better. Vic Firth I never have had an issue like that.

[@bd_drums7673]

@@liveraddieradder its not fake news search it up dude, zildjian own vic virth, they are manufactureed in the same place. really depends on what sticks you use though. i use the travis barker signutare sticks. compared to promark and vicvirth they last me longer. when i used to use a mix of those two sticks id always have a few sticks completley snapped down the middle by the end of the gig. with my zildjian sticks they are amazing. altough i shouldnt be promoting those, im endorsed by collision drum sticks ‘pssst theyre really good ‘ you should give them a try. the 5br sticks have a nice balance to them and makes fast singles a lot easier to play

[@liveraddieradder]

@@bd_drums7673 I use Hickory Vic Firth Extreme 5As and 1 pair lasts me months, even when teaching lessons 5-6 hours a day. With the Zildjian sticks I tried the wood always seemed softer and they felt lighter, maybe the sticks I got were maple instead of hickory or from the scrap bin! I'll give them another shot, if they don't work out you gotta send me some Collision sticks lol

+OFFICIAL BLINK 182 DRUM COVERS thats an incredibly ignorant and dumb statement. Paiste has just as much entry level and shitty cymbal line as Zildjian.

theres no best overall, only of genres. comparing travis to buddy rich is like comparing a sports car to a super car. they are both meant for different things and are the best at what they do.

[@mtndewman1022]

if i could only get my piccolo snare to sound as good as his.... 1:17

[@jimmya8657]

It's because it's an OCDP haha also it's his side snare which is usually like 10 inches so he tunes it tighter

[@jlbourgeois504]

+Jimmy a ocdp doesnt mean shit.. Guitar Center now owns OCDP's name and logo.. and most of their drums are now made overseas using shitty quality asian maple. OCDP its just one of like 10+ shops that use THE SAME EXACT SHELLS. So you cant sit there and say "ahh well his shit sounds dope cause it's OCDP". I build drums using the same shells OCDP use (Keller Maple).. people just dont know what theyre talking about

[@jimmya8657]

+John Bourgeois He plays OC customs, and so do i. And yes they may use the same wood but OCDP does all their own drilling, lathing, venting etc... Nothing any company has ever made even comes close to the quality of OC's snares. Especially nothing you can do.

[@jlbourgeois504]

+Jimmy a "OC customs"??? There is no "OC Customs" LOL no dude OCDP is basically no more. Please dont be another ignorant person on this thread. there's no "lathing" involved.. the shells are bought from keller ready to drill.. seriously thats stupid that you said lathing.. venting IS drilling as well.. and seriously dont be stupid dude... Watch this.. Ill name you a handful of companies/shops that use Keller shells. Literally all these shops buy their shells from the SAME company.. here we go... OCDP, Pork Pie, Dark Horse Percussion, SJC, Truth, Savior, GMS, Ayotte, Precision, Spaun.. thats just to name a FEW. OCDP "quality" is garbage.. which is why they fell off and why guitar center bought their name and rights and started having their drums built overseas using shit parts.. dont believe me? go into guitar center and look inside of one of the 40-ply OCDP snare that GC sells... look at the inside and tell me how the drill holes look... its like a 5 year old drilled it (clearly without using pilot holes, if you know what that is)....Hell.. even DW and C&C used to use Keller shells before they both started pressing their own shells. "Nothing any company has ever made even comes close to the quality of OC's snares".. again kid.. dont be a dumbass.. Quality in a custom drum means shit... especially if youre stupid enough to not know what youre talking about.. literally.. and i mean literally.. almost ALL of the shops i listed buy their parts from the same 3 or 4 different distributors... dont believe me? call one of them and ask. Im endorsed by one of them ;-). I own 3 keller kits and i build snares and kits myself AND i also buy my parts from those distributors. So in short.. dont be all butthurt that you (or your parents) probably spent $4000 for 3 stupid ass OCDP drums and they arent a legit company anymore. If you dont believe me that Guitar Center bought them, go ahead.. knock yourself out.. google it ;-) Bye bye now

[@jlbourgeois504]

+Jimmy a oh and also... "Nothing any company has ever made even comes close to the quality of OC&'s snares" really? LMFAO those scrubs in OCDP dont come NEAR Pork Pie (who started before them). Bill Detamore cuts THE best bearing edges (do you know what those are??) in the custom drum business. Just saying. Ill put any of my custom drums up against your guitar center shit quality OCDP drums any day :D I do all my own drilling,layout, design, wrapping,staining.ect too... its not fucking rocket science little buddy
