This man is the reason I still play drums. His creativity is lost on the haters. Why does technical ability make you the best drummer? My personal opinion would be that the best drummers are the ones that can show what is in there heart by playing.

[@bluealvey]

He's plenty technical. He played in Antimasque with Cedric and Omar from ATDI/Mars Volta, and it's because they picked him to.

Travis is humble gets the job done and gets paid for his hardwork. thats the measure of his success in his career as a musician. so stop all the hate.

Pound for pound, worlds best drummer now!!!! R.I.P. Neal Peart! Travis a godamn animal!!!

[@p-tomrichi5244]

I was here to listen one more time to travis's song but i couldnt avoid reading these comments. You know what? Ive been listening to blink since i was thirteen, now im nineteen. I had never wanted to played any instrument till i listened to travis. Last year i could buy a drum and till now i still play it. The fact is that as a fan of blink 182, travis always surprises me with his beats, but the most i like about him that every concert i see of blink he is there with the same energy and with new material to show us. He is rich, he has a family, but you know what? he keeps playing, doing what he loves and bringing us new songs, from blink, hip hop, transplant and whatever you want(he was still there without a hand and then without a leg). So, i dont understand people how are here to say "he is overrated" "any drummer is so much better than him". This isnt a competition, if you dont like him, dont watch him, and if you think that some1 is better than him, watch the other drummer but remember this is MUSIC and travis never plays it wrong. You wanna listen to him playing some solos like a jazz player? he wont do it, he has groove, speed and technique, if you are a drummer you know it, but he'll play what he like and how he like to play it, no how and what you like. I wanna say that i listen to other different drummers like jojo mayer, benny greg and dennis chambers (lots of drummer) which play really different style and i keep listening to travis :)

[@patrikprommer3762]

This guy is crazy :D He puts latin and afro cuban elements to the punk rock drumming. Amazing.

[@iqbalmarulis]

STILL,one of my fav drummer OF ALL TIME!!!

[@paulprovenzano327]

He is a very inspiring drummer visually and technically. My best compliment to him would be to try to emulate some of his cool moves. Hats off to Travis, one of my favorite drummers.

[@cynical182]

Favorite drummer. Favorite track blink-182 post reunion. Travis Barker. Forever. ❤️

[@anotherimpact8302]

Living legend ,the creativity ,the energy ,his aesthetic on dynamics ,the way he makes drums look so much fun.If you hate Travis you hate drumming.

[@SuperMeatboy91]

Haters gonna Hate one of the best Drummers out there. He is having his own style which is freaking awesome. Actually Travis took a lessons from a Jazz drummer when he was younger so i think he got a very solid fundament. I want to see these haters to reach as far as Travis has reached. But in the end, noone gives a fuck about those haters. Cheers!

[@Fabregas200788]

i like Travis but I disagree with his obsession with "selfmade" stuff he took lots of classes of drumming so it's pretty arrogant to claim he's selfmade

[@NicCounty]

this an old af comment. but he did drumline in high school

[@SpiralstaticXX]

The opening groove is a pretty cool one incorporating the Swiss triplet, but aside from that the song is pretty straightforward technically speaking. That being said, all the people ripping on him for it are delusional. If you say playing a 4/4 beat is the sign of weak drummer, YOU are the drummers old school guys talk about when they say up and coming drummers these days just don't get it. It's about serving the song at the end of the day. That's your job as a MUSICIAN, not just a drummer. To be honest, this mans drumming makes Blink different from all the other pop punk bands. I'd like to see most of you try to play Dumpweed perfectly. The fact that he sometimes provides really unique grooves like the one in this song while still serving the song as a whole, is what makes him good.

[@paradigmshiftz7]

Auxiliary Band exactly! I've been a drummer for 12+ years and I've known how to play Dumpweed for 3 of those years and I still can't get it completely right.

[@thewuthgraad685]

Dude spot on, it’s the fucking lame ass metalcore dudes that want drums going insane, guarantee you 100% of these dudes talking trash have never been in a band or know what it’s like to write songs with other musicians, and if they did the songs would sound like SHIT because of that, spot on my dude

[@BurnTheNuance]

@@thewuthgraad685 "Metalcore" dudes, lmfao. Don't get so bent up over differing opinions. You guys sound like kids. Btw, they're talking shit because it gets a rise out of you. They want you to look stupid, like thinking "Metalcore" guys exist and that's who is here talking shit. Travis is one of the world's most famous drummers THAT'S WHY THEY'RE. They want piss you guys off. I'm seeing more comments complaining about the shit talkers then actually shit talking. If you're gonna clown on a group of people at least attempt to sound like you know what you're talking about. MetalCore is a subgenre of music doofus. People don't get their fucking identity from it. Are you a "pop punk" guy? If so you're cool with being a "pop punk" guy. God I hope you're in your teens.

[@BurnTheNuance]

I agree with most of this until that stupid "you're the drummers old drummers talk about" dribble so is Travis you dolt. You think the old school drummers are lining up listening to Blink? Fuck off with that. Also, one of the reasons why people remember Blink is because of Travis's over playing. Pull your head out of your ass. People literally know him FOR HIS OVERPLAYING. It's not like he just sticks to the pocket and isn't all over the place staying as busy as possible. It might be in 4/4, and he might not be tossing out rudiments, but he is still over playing. It's pop punk. When i was younger he got shit for HOW busy he was. Now kids are defending him by saying he just writes parts that fit the music like it's fucking Back in Black or some shit? Barker over plays the shit out of these songs and that's what is noticable.

[@marcfreeman2274]

The fact he has been playing for so long and still manages to keep his material fresh is what I appreciate the most about him as a musician. That and the fact the guy works hard! Most of the videos I've seen of him he's been practicing on a pad or something. I've always admired him as a musician to be honest.

[@BandaDK]

loving these videos! barker is a beast

[@Mynamesbong]

Fact of the matter is as far as top rated drummers go it’s anyone’s opinion but without a doubt Travis is by far the most dedicated to his craft. He always shows up and with amazing explosive energy. And he doesn’t even let the money or fame affect him I’m sure he’ll drum until his arms are 6 foot under

[@deadbeatz1561]

Travis Barker will go down as a another legendary drummer in history. And all because of one inspiring person who always believed in his talent from the beginning he grew up.

[@domshaw1643]

All these people with huge egos criticising like they play better than him, yet sit on their arses and ignore the fact that he gets the praise, and is up there onstage with one of the biggest bands in rock because he went and made it happen unlike them. This is coming from someone who thinks people rate him a bit too highly. He is clearly one of the best in the "mainstream music business", however you want to define that term.

[@jubankta1627]

Shit Travis is a great drummer!!!

Tattoo artist: "how big do you want your tattoo?" Travis Barker: "yes!"

[@eoin182]

I can add before for the haters, very few people claim him to be the best who know his work. But considering he's played for punk, punk rock, rock, country and even played live dj sets with his drumming, travis doesn't have a boring hand. Name off all the better drummers you want, they only played one or two genres at best didn't they? Deserves some fucking credit

[@Toastandbananas130]

Country? What country band was he in? Hahaha

[@eoin182]

he played the country all star show live on tv, for a number of acsts. during the blink 182 hiatus

[@inderajaya]

Awesomeee!!

[@bijibadness]

who's hating? i don't seem anything but admiration here. he's not the greatest drummer of all time... because THERE'S NO SUCH THING. you can't simply state that someone is the "best" at something as relativistic as music appreciation. *_has he brought something unique to the craft?_* i would say he has. *_has he explored different styles-has he grown as a musician?_* absolutely. *_has he been influential?_* MOST DEFINITELY. those, to me, are some of the important questions to ask when deciding on the merits of a musician.

[@roele2413]

2:07 , the smoothest fill I've ever heard

I've come across ZERO haters, but a fucking hundred comments crying about them. Is this your first time ever coming across hate for Blink? If so get out more. Pop punk will forever be clowned on. Regardless of how well the drummers play.

I don't care how good "busy" drummers are, most are boring to listen to and watch. Also they are a dime a dozen. Travis is unique which is fun to watch.

[@stevewilliams2240]

Even though I don't like this guy, as a musician I must recognize that his playing is solid and he's done a great job developing his style

how can you not like travis he's one of the best drummers around.

[@davidpage4648]

the thing with Travis is that you don't know what he's going hit next and how he's going to hit

[@josefsarkis2332]

Like i said before, his drumming were all built by his influences to play "rock" and stuff. So he created all his grooves and patterns thinking about this. He is an amazing and solid "rock" drummer. Sometimes he uses more body moves to execute his songs, so what? We dont need to play like robots... Just appreciate his style and music! He is also a good showman, in the beginning i felt that travis was the man of the band.

[@EpicMel0ns]

Travis and Lars from Metallica are the drummers who inspired me the most to play the drums, say what you want about them but in the end they’re are the ones who made me pick up those sticks several years ago and keep me playing to this very day.

[@JeremyBoxerman]

True, but they clearly don't play the same genre of music. Both are insanely talented, let's give them the props they deserve. Huge fan of both of them.

[@cunjoz]

Jeremy Boxerman Matt started off as a punk drummer. He can kick Travis' ass in drumming. Don't give me different genres crap. Some genres truly are easier to play than others. AC/DC and ABR aren't the same genres but compare Thunderstruck to Rationalist. Which is easier to play objectively speaking? There is a reason why guitarists and drummers start off with easier genres. Nobody starts off playing Necrophagist or Veil o Maya or ABR.

[@ssssssssedb]

I came from Akira Jimbo's "Wishing Well" and M. Stern/Weckl same title to this. It's Ok. Too much energy wasted. His wrists... I will take a look again to "Enema of the State". It's been about 14 years since the last time...

[@RandomlnternetGuy]

Someone tried to tell me that he's better than Buddy Rich. It's sad how far fan boys will go. He's good. But nothing better.

[@ThibaultTresca]

Since when travis barker plays jazz? Since when Buddy Rich plays pop punk ?

[@M3likydrum5]

Thibault Tresca Totally agree with you, you can't compare musicians like that. Every musician is good in his own way.

[@RandomlnternetGuy]

Thibault Tresca Max van strien yes, but genres aside, in regards to technique, play style, rudimentary, independence, originality. thre is no comparison

[@jaydoode15]

Riccardo Spadano Music isn't a competition, there is something that makes every drummer unique in their own way regardless of what genre they're labelled by. The drummer should never be restricted to what their band's music plays. If I'm correct Travis Barker has been preaching diversity since he started with Blink. Now to all the drummers out there who copy Travis Barker's setup and style of drumming, even going as far as dressing like him, stop it now and be your own drummer lol.

[@M3likydrum5]

jaydoode15 fully agree

[@grizzlywhisker]

he has great chops but i don't enjoy his style very much.

[@Druman19]

He's, just...not that great. Benny Greb...now THERE'S a great drummer!

[@seantomlinson5567]

Druman19 ill admit Benny greb is good, good as hell, but if u think even for a second that travis is a lesser drummer or isn't as good as anyome else u got another thing comin. Do u even play drums?

[@OffshoreOffice]

Seriously? Buddy Rich will always be a legend. Travis barker and Lars Ulrich are in the same category of drummer.

[@natereynoso5281]

only immature drummers criticize other drummers

[@DOPE69able]

Drummer Nate thank you! Im not the biggest fan of travis barker but i can still learn some shit from him. Tony royster jr said that travis can play his ass off so if he gets respect from a great drummer like tony then he's obviously good.
