big fan of this dude for as long as i recall music. to me it‘s his creativity and musicality. dare i say, like mike portnoy - but in a three piece with a way smaller kit and in 4/4.
Never got into Blink 182 when i was younger but Travis Barker is a Phenomenal drummer.. I seen their is a thumbnail here on the platform, that Blink 182 is making a comeback..
Travis Barker epitomizes Punk Rock Drumming for me. The Look, the Energy, and he's a beast behind the kit. You have to appreciate a virtuoso that sits comfortably among the Masters of his Craft rocking a Mohawk. I'm going to run back thru Blink's catalogue, it's been a while. Good talk, Anderooney. Edit- Also, Blast Beat Piano by Rob Scallon is worth a listen if you've not heard it.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Just remember TB is not on the entire catalog of Blink 182. He joined mid-tour 1998 in support of Dude Ranch album. Anything after Dude Ranch, you can find TB slamming the drums on Blink 182 songs! Keep it rockin my friend, dig your channel and your content!
During the lockdown he posted a warm up lesson on his own TH-cam channel, and it was mesmirising, still using those fundamental techniques from his marching band days.
there's a lot of great drummers. personally, for me, he was the reason i got into drumming. when i first heard the album "take off your pants and jacket", i was blown away by the creativity of his beats. it was unlike any other rock/punk/pop-punk band i've listened to. combined with tom's guitars, and it was just so different. idk, i find his style for fun to play and goes with blink's music very well.
“Maximum Fulcrum Optimization” sounds like the weapon a villain uses in a James Bond film 🤣. Thanks for sticking up for Travis and his style of play. Great video!
the black pad is for a super low, echo-y 'thump' sound. almost like a bass note. he uses it in that song near the end. there's another performance of "down" at the mtv teen awards where that sound is more pronounced
That comment is probably out there but that video is from 2003-2004 before their first breakup. Also, this is my favorite video of him because he was trully in his Prime during that era. This video is the video you show to a sceptic who says he doesn’t bring anything to the table. He made rudiments accessible and fun for everyone. Especially on 4 chords songs.
For me, his best piece of work was with Boxcar Racer. With Blink-182, there's no denying that Travis' drumming is great but listen to the BoxCar Racer album. He literally took his drumming to a whole new level. Songs for reference : - Tiny voices (especially the intro and the bridge) - And I - There is (very interesting rudiments on the snare) - The end with you (the pattern on the hi-hat in the bridge is some next level s***).
Travis is A wicked drummer, and yea they never wore In Ears until recently. He plays with one ear in with just click track (no band at all), and the other ear out to hear stage.
Much like Bill Ward, Travis always impressed me with how incredibly hard he hits, while displaying such nuance and impeccable phrasing! While bludgeoning his drums into oblivion. He’s like a pitbull behind the kit! Like his entire body is being incorporated into generating disgusting beats, like a damn Cyborg! Always inspired me to deep dive into rudiments!!! Many drummers, genre non-specific, forget the basics. Most everything in drumming is an extension of the basics. Rudiments are the key to mastering your craft, if there is such a thing!! 🤔🤔
And I remember seeing him have to play a tour one handed as I think he broke his arm recording a music video for plus44 (+44) and still one handed was killer 🙏🏼 legend
I think people started "hating" him less after the accident. I don't even understand the animus towards him in the first place. He's a top tier drummer and seems so unproblematic.
@@Twistytowertowercrane Actually, he survived the crash itself, but unfortunately died later because he relapsed on drugs and overdosed. There is possibly a correlation though due to being prescribed painkillers and anxiety medication as a result of the crash, however he wasn't killed directly in it.
About sound-check volume: In smaller venues, I've been asked time and time again "Can the tests not be so loud?" Also, clients calling them rehearsals... Meh.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Haha awesome thought I recognized it!:) Such a signature fill, can instantly tell it's Jeff! Yea, easily in my top 10 drummers of all time!
I don't think I've ever seen more jealousy shade thrown at any other drummer. It's always the same "he's not technical" and "jazz drummers are better" which is just plain idiotic to say. Dude has been the best punk drummer in the world for 2 decades.
For realz!! If any of the shade throwers knew anything. They would know Travis actually did play jazz at some point. He also is very technical because of the years of drum line in school. I don't know shiz about shiz playing the drums. But I hear something completely different from what the shade throwers say. Glad I wasn't the only one to pick up on that.
No word of a lie , every time I did blink as a warm up before band my bpm was always too fast after lol when you can play his songs , you feel the speed difference immediately. Travis has bin a idol of mine since I was around 10 years old . There is no ONE in the world more recognizable on a kit for me, I can just tell when it's him playing .
Andrew mate, in terms of his sticks and techniques, I used to have a pair of his signature sticks and it may look like he is holding it quite high, but they are a little bit longer than the average stick, and beefy as hell. Just my two cents worth. Love your reactions mate
4:56 100% correct! But also the sound guy should be able to make adjustments during the show. It’s crazy how bad so many sound guys are they like to think loud is best and blame bad sound on the venue. The big venue in my town all the big bands play is an old armory hard wood walls and floors so when it’s loud in there the sound bounces all around and when the sound guy has the mix too loud u can’t hear anything good. The house sound guy always had a decent mix and when bands use their own sound guy it’s crap
I appreciate what you're saying about soundcheck, Andrew, but a singing voice can be so fragile, especially in the middle of a tour. I've very rarely heard any singers going for it during soundcheck. Hell, singers who are SUPER protective of their voices only whisper on show days. I know Geddy Lee was very protective of his voice as he aged when Rush was on tour.
When you tell a non musician you play the drums they say "oh like travis barker?" Thats the extent of my experience with his body of work all i know is he's popular lol.
Have you reacted to Todd Sucherman yet? I can't recall. This solo blows my mind. - Todd Sucherman Drum Solo - Drumeo. th-cam.com/video/j6NoINimNrw/w-d-xo.html
Hi Andrew!! enjoying all the content you release. Hope you check out my favorite band and the drummer in it is amazing. ONE OK ROCK - Taking Off (Tomoya's Drum Ver.) from "Ambitions" JAPAN TOUR 2017 is the title of the video. Much love !!
On sound engineering course, the very first thing they teach you is to tell the musicians to play as loud as they will during the performance/recording. Still never works!
Travis is a beast, and massively underrated. If you want to hear some mindblowing live-drumming, check out the Blink 182-album "The Mark, Tom and Travis Show". I wish there was drumcam-footage of that show, it's so good... Great reaction! Another suggestion to watch is Ken Bedene from Aborted. Yes, another one of those blastyboiis but this man does it all so effortless on a simple 4-piece kit, and the fill on 1:53 gives me intimate tinglies. Check it out: th-cam.com/video/opXJQ7RcqPE/w-d-xo.html
@@DetroitLionsDynasty I think he is. Most people think the drumming in Blink is easy and simple, but it's absolutely not. Happened multiple times that i told someone i loved his drumming, and people didn't quite understand until i had them really listen to it.
As a 42 year old punk rocker I don't like Travis he's amazing as a drummer, but I was a fan of blink for Buddha, Cheshire cat and dude ranch the he ruined them with his talent.
His drumming is fantastic, but it just seems like a lot of wasted energy to play the kit so "big" and animated. I appreciate a good showman drummer, but sometimes it can get out of hand and look over-exaggerated. But hey, it's worked for him for over 20 years, so who am I to critique?
Travis is like a drummer who stopped growing in musicianship. He’s generic and not at all that amazing. Far from reaching the level that we can called master. Some examples of the true masters are: Gavin Harrison, Mike Mangini, Marco Minneman, Craig Blundell, Gregg Bissonette, Todd Sucherman, Steve Gadd, Akira Jimbo, Ray Hearne, Denis Chambers… and many more

Ive seen nearly all of the top drummers of this world past and present, but Travis is right up there. His precision and blast beats are incredible.
Yup legit monster. Total unique sound too
Saw Travis at Shoreline Amphitheater in 2009. He broke a cymbal during the show. Amazing to watch him play live.
SOOOOOO much energy. Always gives 100% Rick
big fan of this dude for as long as i recall music.
to me it‘s his creativity and musicality.
dare i say, like mike portnoy - but in a three piece with a way smaller kit and in 4/4.
relax a bit there, buddy
The fact Noone gives credit to Tom Delonge and the similar sound to box car race. Plus the drummers of Angels & Airwaves

This made my day!💛Travis Barker is underrated in my opinion.To say I'm a fan is a gross understatement. Andrew you ROCK!
Great Brooke! I've heard so much critique of him by people not good enough to set his kit up!
ANNDDREW , dam I'm excited for this ! I noticed couple weeks ago you haven't reviewed him and now here it is !!
BOOM!
“Maximum Fulcrum Optimization” sounds like the weapon a villain uses in a James Bond film 🤣. Thanks for sticking up for Travis and his style of play. Great video!
Thanks Lawrence! HAHA
I would buy that shirt
@@skateraptor12 dude same!
Jesus that guy hits hard but I love the quick choke he does in the middle of a barrage of crash hits around 3:08. That tickled me.
Yes Darryl!
It was really quick. I kept on replaying that part.
I just found this channel and as I am clicking through videos you post a new one. Perfect timing.
GREAT!
I remember watching this when it first came out in 09, still inspiring to watch now as it was then.
Blink 182 helped me get through some lost times as a teen in the rapidly evolving early 2000's. Always loved these guys.
That's amazing Michael. That's why we are so affected when we lose our favorite musicians
@@AndrewRooneyDrums still crushed about Taylor. Too soon for such a specimen of a human.

I've always looked at guys like Travis and Lars as trailblazers. They're creative and many many drummers want to play as they do. 🤷🏻♂️
100%!!!
For me, his best piece of work was with Boxcar Racer.
With Blink-182, there's no denying that Travis' drumming is great but listen to the BoxCar Racer album. He literally took his drumming to a whole new level.
Songs for reference :
- Tiny voices (especially the intro and the bridge)
- And I
- There is (very interesting rudiments on the snare)
- The end with you (the pattern on the hi-hat in the bridge is some next level s***).
Can’t wait to hear it!
Yes! sound check at performance level. Coming from a theater technical director in Kentucky.
You get it Steve!!!
Hearts all gone its one of the best drums line in blink, you need to hear it
I’m glad I learned this version of down
I realize the video might say 2009 but that footage is from the 03/04 tour era
Thank you!

Yeah they do it so well Michael!
And Travis is no joke
yup
Travis Barker is why I wanted to learn to play the drums lol.
Short and sweet. Says it all
I love travis. Was such an athletic approach to drumming which was so refreshing ❤️❤️

This is what john Mellencamp meant by "drummers going crack, boom, bam" ;-)

"he just broke a stick? he didn't even get halfway through a song on soundcheck" LOL. that's travis barker
YUP!
Travis muffuckin barker the best to ever do it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So good! Slammin
People can hate on Travis but he has amazing skills....she rips even on a practice pad
Different of Lars Travis has skills and improvement of his techniques over the time. And Im a metal head.
Both legends IMO Jean!
can you please make a video about Inferi’s Mesmeric Horror drum playthrough?
I'll try. Be sure to remind me!
Don’t know if anyone already commented this, but this footage is from ‘04.
"Punk pop". I chuckled lol. Its "Pop-punk", been thrown around as a term for years haha. Love the channel. LISTEN TO KEN BEDENE, CADAVEROUS BANQUET!
Also his cymbals (including hats) are far away to minimise bleed into the drum mics. Needed especially when you hit that hard.
