- (This Video has the extra clips on the side so you can see more of the solo)This is Travis Barker playing a crazy drum solo to the song "down" at the guitar center drum off. He looks like he's havin fun. Extra clips are from the bonus dvd off of the album
i love it when people hate on musicians saying they are over-rated simply because they have a large fanbase. it's not about the notes he's playing. it's about the heart behind them. that's what makes a true musician and nobody can deny that travis plays with his whole heart.
It's cuz there jealous cuz they can't do it
The reason why people hate on real musicians is because they #CANTDOIT Themselves 😎👌👍!!
he also has some serious rudiment chops, his marching snare solos are A1
Indeed on all you say, and I witnessed myself 2 days ago. He really loves what he do and play the drums with so much passion and for that I have so much respect for him 👏 ❤
He's perfectly on time the entire progression. He's Playing syncopated rhythms, so sometimes the accented strokes fall on what your ears may not recognize as "typical". He's also stretching rhythms to fit the typical 4/4 hiphop/rock measure count: Example (3:04) He plays a 7 measure beat within a 4 measure time frame. He does this on purpose. It's sophisticated drumming, and those who are interested in the breakbeat culture recognize it and appreciate it. I do.
No mate he actually not on time
The overlaid audio is throwing you off
Mate just stop, he is just offtime I was there
This man...this man right here. You are a great example of someone who knows about music dude. Being a good musician isn't about dominating your instrument. It's about communicating your passion and feelings through the instrument you use. And Barker does this well. He does this amazingly and that is why he is considered an excellent drummer. No one cares if you can out play him, because you'll just never beat the passion he has for music.
Its funny how so many people say how bad travis is when really none of the drummers commenting are anywhere near as good as travis XD
He suckd
I'm not a drummer so pardon me if I say any incorrect drumming terms. This man is a professional drummer. He literally makes millions off of his ability to play the drums. Now, if you want to say he's not good enough, then challenge him in a drum-off. From what i've noticed, this guy can drum roll faster with one hand than all 957 people that have disliked this put together. Also, most blink-182 songs were written based off of his drum beats.
A lot of the self titled album was pre recorded drum beats cause he was on tour with another band and they were midway through making it so he left a bunch of pre recorded beats and let them choose
This is amazing.
You've brought hope back into humanity.
Sound quality makes this performance sound bad as well. You can't deny the fact that he is the heart and soul of one of the most influential pop punk band in the world, so it does not surprise me that some people(loving fans of his) would refer to him as the best drummer. Its all opinion, in my opinion, he is one of the best, and one of my favorite drummers picked out of the pop punk genre.
I strive to be like him. He is very talented, but not only for his talent but because of his humbleness and pure drumming style. Forever a fan (Was a fan before Blink-182).
Strive to be you. Don’t be someone else. Redefine yourself
is he supposed to be out of time haha
Its sounds out of time cause the person who made the video put the original song over his performance :-)
I’ve never seen this clip before. Travis is an amazing practitioner of the drum rudiments. I’m a former percussion and drum set instructor. Travis is highly skilled and technically proficient and simply AMAZING. His hand speed alone is phenomenal. There are only a small number of drummers who can play with this much speed, athleticism, dexterity and finesse. Any drummers who read this and want to play like this: make it your job or your #1 focus after work. Get into rudiments and drum corp styles of drumming. Find a local instructor and work your ass off for the next block of time. 5-10-20 years!
good advice and comment 👍👍👍
while you all are writing bad things about this gifted drummer he is not caring what anyone thinks he has already changed the music scene by being on Blink 182.. he made his name known.. so for all of you that know his name whether you like him or not i think he made his point...
i want to be your friend. That was an EPIC burn, good sir
this guy has probably inspired more people and has more soul in his playing than you ever will/have.
I m in love Travis barker
I would hate on Travis, but he's the whole reason I started playing drums 6 years ago in the first place and I'm pretty sure he's what got many of you hating on him started too. Sure, I'm not a huge fan of his drumming anymore, but still he's a great influence and inspired many people to start learning drums.
thank you.. so much
Best description I've read, kudos
Talk shit all you want, Travis has amazing energy on stage, and i respect him for that.
I enjoyed this.
THANK YOU
That's a part of his creativity, legit fans of him are the one's gonna understands his passion...
He doesn't just play fast and hard, he also plays a variety of music genres and that makes him so versatile and professional. Also his creativity to add such a value to the projects he has been involved makes him an amazing musician. And also, he uses one bass drum and a few cymbals to do his magic not like those metal hard-rockers pussies using two of them to sound more but play less. Travis is DA MAN!
Came to see drumming and an MMA fight broke out! Dude be kickin his own ass all up in here! Great flying elbow technique! LoL
Travis Barker is the best drummer IN HIS MUSIC GENRE
great solo
Travis Barker what a drummer! And a great guy! 👍👍👍✌️👊🌍.
versatility through genres, extensive knowledge of rudiments and timings and very fine use of dynamics.
why so many dislikes, travis is awesome!
Well im 23 and i like it all, been playing guitar/bass,drums,keys, writing lyrics since i was 12. i never became excellent at anything, but i have many years to go. You already know my opinion. Maybe your right in a sense because he does not stick to the books. but it is good for the competition because it brings in a mixed crowd. people who might not have a real appreciation for percussion will be lured in by their *talentless* idle to realize there is more to music than computers and singers.
What he's doing to that ride is downright criminal.
nice to see guitar center has comedy bits during the show..... lets real drummers prepare and loosen up
He's a machine
.....WOW....... amaaaaaazing.......
Travis barker is amazing and gorgeous dont hate
thank you sooo much for saying this!!!!! ive been telling people this for years
This is exactly right. He's not the greatest drummer of all time, but he's not the worst either and he's good at what he does. He puts on a good show and makes good grooves for his songs. He may not deserve all the praise he gets from newbie drummers, but he certainly doesn't deserve all the hate he gets from everyone else.
I'm 27, performing as a concert vocalist since 5 years old, drums since 12; been in rock to metal to thrash to jazz to blues to gospel to big band, both as a vocalist and a singer, professional and casual
I have seen thousands of 12-40+ year old drummers swing wild, squeeze their sticks, hit with reckless abandon, never showcase a concept of dynamic or method - none of them impressed me, either
I simply think a drum competition, which judges talent, is not a place for average drummers like him
Travis has some mad chops dude haha.
I also agree with the talent show part considering its guitar centers drum off, I take back that part lol
Travis Barker: %50 chops. %50 super crazy energy.
Sheer brilliance.
everytime i watch him play i feel very bad for the drums. its like theyre gonna break any second
O SHIT HES PUSHING BOUNDARIES!!! snare rolls over a backing track!?!?! 4 FUKIN 4!!! THIS GUY IS OFF THE CHAIN!!!!
This is the only "bad" video I have ever seen of Travis drumming. He's still a good drummer, and one of my favorites.
good spirit Travis
it's feel and soul,man ..
THIS IS THE GREATEST THING EVER
I clicked on this video for laughs and drama
sure got what I came for!
travis recorded with Pink, black eyed peas, blink182, aquabats, transplants, box car racer, plus 44, yellow wolfe to name a few - thats pretty diverse, He learnt to play Jazz first then moved on to marching drums, so its clear his rudiments are spot on... his timing is impecable.. i have never heard him use dynamics though.. I really think the travis barker we are talking about are 2 different people, if you refer to him as blink only fair enough, search around and you'll find decent stuff .
Yea buddy ! You go Travis. ROCK ON DUDE !
I couldn't agree more.
Travis' style can drink drive into a schoolyard. HE STINKS!
his timing is not off it's what the mic that's being used to record picks up. If you notice some parts of the beat are basically non-existent. It seems like he's off because you don't hear what's in between, certain drums are more amplified than others. I mean, he did record the song and played it numerous times live, I'm sure he knows the counts.
Ive been playing drums since I was 4. I am 46 now and still playing for a living. I considered myself a guy that loves what I do and I try to be a student to it when I can. I just don't understand this dude. Every competitor of the drum off is better than he is. It makes me wonder how he could make a living playing drums. I guess all is possible in this great country of ours
His set is too beautiful for his shit.
travis barker is all hype?? hype??? 13 years ????
on the bright side, the jerome flood II solo in the featured video section is really good
he has grown alot sinc this vid!! he is a musician! one of the greatest! people just think hes not because he beats the drums!! you cry because he plays too hard. well so did buddy and grohl so dont give him shit. haters
Travis Barker is good drummer I don't understand why everyone is always hating on him. He doesn't suck.
post punk!! the mans energy is great..subtle t
is under rated in his style
I realized that I had that one typo in it a week after I posted it...I wish I could edit it..even looking at it now I can see so many mistakes that are just going to piss me off.
If this guy can be famous doing this, I could be a millionare to
He's "ALWAYS" dofferent from the others... 👌💯🔥
Truest thing ever!
I think I've always thought that bro.. just never thought it out.. greeeeat..
He's still one of my favorite drummers regardless of a bad performance. Im a big fan of Travis and he's the reason I picked up a pair of sticks. Is he the best drummer in the world? Hell no. Is he overrated? Yes. But is he still a good drummer? Yes.
you can hate on travis all you want but the fact is that his style/intensity is noticed by the non musician and thus making him in the the top 10 highest paid drummers ever
just ... is a genius!
music is not a competition...stop hating and listen to the music/musicians you like
Barker joined Blink-182 ca.1998. He got into the band by stepping in during a tour he's old band did with Blink.
I'm actually glad I got so much hate.. It's refreshing. In fact, after watching this, I picked up my guitar and learned a new song. Then I went and jammed on the drums a bit. It's all about doing whatever the hell we want. You chose to respond to me, but you didn't have to. I didn't have to say anything about Travis Barker, but I did just because I wanted to be entertained. I don't hate anything. I'm just in it for enjoyment.
Because he used to have a TV show, he has an awesome clothing line, in Blink and survived a plane crash. Thats why.
Yeah, not enough people can have an (aggressive) discussion without getting their panties in a twist.
And I am working on a youtube channel for my voice, so stay tuned
cold!
I've never heard so many alternating singles played in a solo before. Almost every fill around the kit is alternating singles.
Hit Hard. That seems to be the only directive he plays by.
gotta love youtube tough talkers
its the name that makes him famous, not his skills. but he has fun doing it so who are we to criticize him for the way he plays...
it's from '03. he was probably trying to promote the self-titled album.
Did anyone else think "where is the REV when you need him" r.i.p
well said.
If this guy went to his local guitar center to enter in the drum off I'm 100% sure he wouldn't even make it past the store finals.
I'm not trying to come to his rescue or anything, but I think part of it is the camera. He probably had the song in his headphones while the song was maybe a second off in the video shown to the audience. I could be wrong, though.
Anyone who is as successful as he is will more than likely be a great musician. The sheer fact that he managed to do this for a living means that even if he wasn't that good when Blink started - years and years of playing for hours a day as his sole way to earn a living will have perfected his skills more than anyone sitting in an office for 8 -10 hours a day.
We are all here because this is a part of the Guitar Center Drum Off Competition
The ultimate question, the crux of my confusion / concern of Barker playing at the drum-off . . .
If Barker entered the competition, at the most local level of the GC Drum-Off, would he even place 1st or 2nd on his first night of competition?
The answer that any competent drummer / musician will agree with is, "not a fucking chance."
With that asked / answered, why is he performing at the drum-off finals?
Amen.
Im glad im one of the people who knows all 3 :) hot damn im lucky :D.....id better stop this video to look at the last 30 minutes of Purple Rain.
The funniest part about this vid is that the dislike bar is like a battle between good and evil... :))
looks like he's havin' a hard time on that kit
the timing thing is however completely true, that's the most important part of drumming, keeping steady meter.
lol the fact that you stumbled through typing that without realizing the irony of your pompous statement is remarkable.
I think he got the attention 'cause he have lot's of style, both in the way he plays and the way he set his kit.. Just my 2c
great technic
I agree completely.
i really wish i could see the crowds faces when he started fucking up the song flow. Lol
i agree and the fact that he appears more skilled to non-drummers bc of how low the drums are and how high the cymbals are.
Your comment doesn't make sense -- he isn't "the drummer of this band," he is performing at a drumming competition which seeks out undiscovered, highly talented drummers.
So in this case, yes, it is very much a competition / judgement of drummers . . .
i think that's a awesome performance
You aren't gonna convince anyone in the comments that Travis Barker is good. Everyone's a pseudointellectual when it comes to drums apparently. I'm amazed so many of these people in the comments have made it so far in the music world with the attitudes they have. Travis is good, he fits his style well, that's what a drummer's meant to do.
Someone give this kiddo a popsicle so he's quiet.
