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.

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. 😀👍🏿

2023 here

[@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 :)))

[@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

[@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!!

[@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 ❤️🥁

[@oceantube3473]

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

[@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!

[@ilovegibsons1]

travis plays with his whole body i love it

WE WANTS ADRIAN YOUNG & TRAVIS BARKER DRUM OFF 2020

[@garfieldmartinez87]

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

[@paranoidbuck6044]

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

[@Thunderdog73]

Those pixels were awesome

[@roboticsandwich8139]

It was 2005 what do you expect

[@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.

[@itachi7samadan]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@partyboyrocks69]

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

[@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

[@Sershine]

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

[@24hnilson76]

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

[@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. 😀👍🏿

[@Mr.Xarxes]

Travis barker all the way

[@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

[@drewmarini1]

Travis is the GOAT

[@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

[@alfertvaldez5240]

It's no contest Travis would win this drum off

[@7101998GreenDay]

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

[@jturquoise]

Pssshhhh Not even close

[@aquariandragonhare8953]

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

[@blondechick9804]

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

[@blinkMATIC]

phil collins is simply one of the greatest talent i've seen in my life. And i appreciate you for mentioning him.

That marching snare is dumb clean.

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

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

[@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...

[@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.

[@The77nathan77]

both fantastic

[@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

[@ClarkKasheta]

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

[@bradsorbers5550]

Travis Barker is the greatest drummer of all time. And i been around a while. Im 59 years old Ive seen a few. But he is the best hands down.

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.............

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.

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 :)

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

[@ddrumska]

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

[@RivalOktora]

This is why i love travis !

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.

[@AshHeartsPunk182]

Travis. Hands down.

[@leanddromusic]

They are both great.

[@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.

[@Amie.K_2024]

Jonathan Zambrano agreed

[@navybatful]

Young won.

[@BxSQUIRREL]

so sick.. travis makes drumming looks so cool

[@edgarc407]

Honestly why do people hate on Travis? If you don't like his style then don't watch him, and stop comparing with other drummers that have a completely different style, try being as good as him and stop being jealous

[@sevierinovillanueva6705]

Punkgae 😂 = reggae + punk rock

[@rimenuir910]

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

[@jacoblindsey7675]

Unfortunately all of these Barker fans don't know what any of that means, so they see no reason not to think it is "sick as hell bro"

[@t0nz0rz]

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.

[@SlaterBeatz]

Great collaboration

[@icedrummer4]

Travis' keepin with time is crazyness!

[@jmbreiter]

its not that he is better than everyone else it is that he knows what sounds good and he understands what's necessary in a song and that shows that he is a musician not the best drummer ever but he is extremely creative and you cannot take that away from him.

[@jaydenwaddell373]

So he is better then everyone else because that the purpose of drums in music

[@rosefamily2351]

Still absolutely phenomenal in 2022

[@micki45melanson91]

He is awesome so proud of him a GO boy luv u

[@BWAG26]

Travis is unbelievably talented. Probably the best punk rock drummer alive.

[@1thess523]

Sorry but there are plenty of good drummers in the punk scene like Jordan Burns from Strung Out, the drummer from Implants, a bunch of Japanese melodic punk drummers i listen to like Four Get Me A Nots, Dradnats, Hi Standard and many others, the drummer from Rejected Kids out if Indonesia and on and on, if you are talking about "punk" bands in this new mainstream wave then maybe yes but in the punk scene you don't hear in the radio no he's not vut he is a really good drummer

[@BWAG26]

1thess523 Are you seriously trying to say that your opinion is correct and mine is not?

[@1thess523]

Are you seriously trying to say that your opinion is correct and mine is not? See that doesn't work because your saying I am wrong and then you accuse me of the same thing. It's like the stupid "don't judge me you (insert judgement)". The person that tells you not to judge them has already judge you get it. You may think he is the best punk drummer but I don't so in my eye's your wrong but in your eye's I am wrong. This I guess is a matter of our opinion until there is a world wide punk drummer competition, hey so what bands do you consider punk?

[@merk1003]

+1thess523 dude... ur fucken right da other guy dnt knw Wat he is talking bout... Travis is a good drummer but not da best in my opinion

[@DrummerGrrrl]

That was really cool!

[@stickems1992]

I met Adrian Young the other day. He talked about how nervous he was to do a drum off with travis because Adrian has never done a drum sole before. he doesn't solo during shows like travis does....this is like his first solo ever!!

[@SoundofMadness15]

i love travis because he plays things ive never heard before

[@ahoweO7]

That was a wicked cool drumming duet

[@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.

[@GadhSK8]

They're both kick ass drummers!

[@Feardain]

What makes Travis Barker a good drummer, is that he experiments a lot with different genres. And of course once again as others have said, even Travis himself, he is not the best drummer in the world, and would never consider himself as such. This is a collaboration between two great drummers, and the two great drummers, make this video awesome.
