Travis Barker is one of the most versatile drummers of all time. From punk beats as the drummer for Blink-182, to hip hop collaborations, EDM concerts, and even drumline, Travis can play anything on the drum kit! Along side guitarist Tom DeLonge and Bassist Mark Hoppus, Blink consistently elevates their sound even after their many hiatuses. Beyond the drums, Travis lives an impossible life of reality fame, married in the spotlight to Kourtney Kardashian, running a business empire, all while focusing on his health as a committed vegan! The many jobs of being Travis Barker are truly impossible!

i was like wtf date did you just say. lol this happened when i was in school. and 2018 was after my son was born. 2 completely different times in my life so trying to remember this event mixed with then had my brain going "WHAT!!??"

Growing up he was a direct influence on my drumming. I never tried to be like him but to this day he’s left an imprint on my style like no one else has.

[@RC32Smiths01]

Truly one of the greatest drummers! Barker just always seems to get better and creative. Inspiring to be creative on the drums, and just have fun!

[@rareblues78daddy]

I bet you whack it to Nu Metal, son!

[@dannypqliar8763]

@@rareblues78daddy I bet you name-drop jazz drummers to feel like your taste is sophisticated. All the while not knowing that every good (actual) drummer has good things to say about Travis, regardless of the pop music he plays.

[@mulbeauty1305]

Just funny when you talk to drummers and even famous Rock'n Rollers, they never have him listed in their top. Is best punk rock drummer, but would not say one of the best of all time. Not even in top 100...

[@dannypqliar8763]

@@mulbeauty1305 He plays pop music - they wouldn't list him instinctively. But anyone with an ear understands they're dealing with a gifted person. "All time" is a big label, but he can easily do any major rock band's style. As well as the much touted Mars Volta. Insisting that he isn't Buddy Rich or Thomas Haake is stupid. He's way closer to their adventurous streak than the majority of his genre peers.

[@Alex-Defatte]

I remember hearing Adam's song for the first time and just being blown away about how simple but techy his drums were. I never realized that drums could be anything as long as they were kept in perfect timing. He opened a new world for me.

He didn’t even reply to you… what a tool. Like correct yourself man hahaha and you know he saw this comment

[@corychecketts]

Travis' work ethic is really what stands out to me. Yes, he's talented but he is always working and pushing. Mad respect for him.

[@aimjokerr6948]

The Transplants continues to be my favorite Travis project outside of Blink. If you never heard, go and enjoy to some great Punk and Hip Hop blend.

[@abtwopoint0]

damn I used to play final fantasy tactics on game boy advance rocking that lmao

[@gordonjeffrey8616]

I think you really skimmed over that fact that he has single-handedly reinvigorated pop punk the last 3 years drumming for Kenny Hoopla, Avril, and a reinvented MGK

[@l3joint]

Mgk is teenage girl music. Shady real did a number on him.

[@gordonjeffrey8616]

Shady won their 'battle', but it was obviously started just for publicity for MGK, so I don't think it did that much of a number on him. I would bet $100 his genre transition was purely financially motivated. Avril is teenage girl music as well, and to a lesser extent the entire genre is, but what is your point? His drumming is still great on both those albums.

[@l3joint]

@gordonjeffrey8616 I can drum and play guitar better than MGAY. He got absolutely crushed by shady, that was my point.

[@MrSkaterpunk13]

without mgk idk if pop punk would be as popular this time he really helped bring a lot of new fans to the scene

[@MrSkaterpunk13]

@@l3joint using gay as an insult in 2023 just makes you look ignorant

[@user-cb6ww6cg1o]

I think what makes Travis Barker special is that he's the most creative drummer. He invents new grooves all the time and it's fun to listen to. Most other drummers usually just like to stick to common rhythms or be only technical.

[@kermitdafrogisback]

Make sure you all get on the list. Gabe is such an amazing teacher. And his staff is great as well. And they will always be there to help you along with your journey. As well as your other academy members. You can not go wrong. Hope to see you all there DBO FOR LIFE.

[@KieranLeCam]

I love it how you said "the remaining two thirds of Blink" without batting an eye... 😊

[@tabin6]

I live in Japan. I like blink182. I buy drum stick Travis varker Model. Travis is greatest drummer.

[@zakswindle]

That plane crash happened a couple of minutes from my house and remember the sound of the trucks and ambulance. Little did I know it was one of my favorite drummers.

[@tomedwards8966]

When I saw Blink live, Travis cut his finger open on stage. He proceeded to super glue it shut on stage and continue his crazy skills minutes later.

[@EliaAl-Nims]

Is bro ok what

[@DanDisorder]

For me his best works are on self titled, neighborhoods, enema, BCR, the first transplants album, half of plus 44.

[@PandaTheGreen]

watched them 2 nights in a row during their EU tour this year, they're better than ever

[@my_little_danish_corner]

I'm so jealous 😮😮 I saw them in Copenhagen and I would wish I had the money and tickets to go to Stockholm the night after, and then to Oslo to see them ...

[@jucamillo_web]

THANK YOU! I was a teen drummer because Travis and you made me remember why I choose this instrument. What I cant remember is why I just stopped and never tried again...

[@rebeccacollier6858]

Wow I've been loving this guy without even knowing who he was . Amazing Soul

[@jeremiahsmith7977]

11:38 yes their self titled album was freaking insane a true masterpiece, and also “Take Off Your Pants And Jacket” that was an amazing album as well

[@davisjohnson7691]

Blink hasn’t made a bad album yet. The new album is dope (it’s not Enema or the Self Titled, but it’s the best pop punk album of recent history)

[@youknodavibes9601]

crazy timing, I just finished his book Can I Say! love these vids and now we have one with the goat? thanks gabe

[@DevinJuularValentine]

"one of the greatest drummers of all time almost worked for target instead of blink 182" is so devastating because 100% we are missing out on some of the most incredible art that could be created because its almost impossible to be an artist for a real living. I personally know a handfull of musicians in that position, people who bleed music and write the most creative stuff but rarely get the chance to because of working normal jobs to barely get by. It's so shit. I have nearly given up on music myself many times because it so unforgiving to try and even make a band financially sustainable let alone make money from it personally. You burn out doing five jobs at once just to be in a band and not get paid.

[@user-gj8mn4ce8d]

They’re so punk! Lead vocal of that one guy is so &@%ing annoying.

[@FBsharp_]

Truly is one of the greatest drummers, if not, MUSICIANS of ALL TIME

[@Rimpianto]

Muisicians of ALL TIME? I mean mate, christ, I can understand he played in an important band for teenagers in the 90s and he is a decent, even good drummer, I can concede that. But musician of all time? All time? Vivaldi. Bach. Mozart. Puccini. Miles Davies. The Beatles. Pink Floyd. Prince AND Travis Barker. Sure, it sounds about right. Beethoven 7th and Adam song, same level of musicianship. The Dark Side of the Moon and All the small things? Surely the latter is far superior. Now go on fans, downvote me to hell, but you know it in your heart, the fact that you grew your emotional side while listening to Blink doesn't make it better that it is.

having the chance to watch these live in oct was hands down the best gig ive ever been too

[@acuralee]

Edit: dude you have the most bad ass cymbal set up. I love how it sounds and how they look. I love the kits he plays on. OCDP makes some insane bass drums, on the flip side El Estepario Siberiano is bringing to light Varus in a big way. Ive always loved the Varus brand but like Sonor its expensive. But as they grow so does their catalog and some kits are becoming more affordable without sacrificing the quality.

[@OFWROL]

SJC is definitely the new OCDP. Varus is cool, but definitely more metal leaning

[@mcbill7352]

Mark and tom are obviously pop punk icons, but travis is one of the most important figures in 21st century music
