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.
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...
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
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??
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.
@gitchigoomi What the hell!??! Barker is the shit! What!??! I mean seriously, what are you using in comparrison!??!? Where the hell do you get off saying "Barker simply isn't that good"!??!??
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!!
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.
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
@@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
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 ❤️🥁
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.
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
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
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.
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.............
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 😑)
@KienDienn Never mind the left leg stuff......Travis Barker is one of the most overrated professional drummers on earth! I've seen church drummers in Chicago that would eat him alive. He's a great showman, but that's about it. Average talent.
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.
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.
@PoeticJustice05 seriously this is a total joke. It's all about not setting the bar too high, we don't want to make the Entitled Generation feel bad about themselves by showing actual talent. This seriously bothers me that they would insult the people who actually practice and were competing in this.
dude, that must have been so embarrassing for these guys when nearly all of the competitors blow these guys away. I feel like I'm watching the doofs that won't stop playing drums in your local guitar center.
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!!
@KillaVidsProductions Best drummer alive? Maybe behind Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Weckl, Virgil Donati, Dennis Chambers, Billy Cobham, Benny Greb, Steve Gadd, Danny Carey, Gavin Harrison, Chris Coleman, Jojo Mayer, Tony Royster Jr., Thomas Pridgen, Will Kennedy, Mike Portnoy, Terry Bozzio, Teddy Campbell, John Blackwell, Carter Beauford, Steve Jordan, Marco Minnemann, Mike Mangini, Bobby Jarzombek, Simon Phillips, Steve Smith, Aaron Spears, Eric Moore, Tomas Haake, Derek Roddy, and George Kolias.
@rowerss Vinnie Colaiuta is better, for one. Not just better, but by lightyears. If you were to compare their drumming vocabularies, Travis' would be a children's book, Vinnie's would be the Oxford Dictionary. As far as covers go, there's a kid on youtube here named Cobus that does better covers than Travis. And a guy called tbartels that does the best Tool covers. There's also a guy I know here in Calgary called Jim Llewellyn, who's been playing since the sixties, that can cover anything.
@lilpap333 One of the best drummers of the decade? Maybe behind Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Weckl, Thomas Pridgen, Tony Royster jr., Gavin Harrison, Daney Carey, Dennis Chambers, Virgil Donati, Ronald Bruner jr., Chris Coleman, Akira Jimbo, Eric Moore, Aaron Spears, Jojo Mayer, Steve Smith, Calvin Rodgers, Neil Peart, Steve Gadd, Thomas Haake, Marcus Baylor, Terry Bozzio, Mike Portnoy, Bobby Jarzombek, Thomas Lang, Mike Mangini, Marco Minnemann, and this guy I know in Calgary called Jim Llewellyn.
It's funny, because most people who say Travis sucks say "I could play what he plays." So basically what you're saying is that for someone to be considered good they have to make a beat or song that NO ONE ELSE EVER can learn how to play? Being good drummer doesn't just mean to have skills. You also need creativity and showmanship, and Travis has this, plus skill.
@dawilal I'll deny that last point. Vinnie Colaiuta is still lightyears more creative than Travis, even when hired to play popular music. You want an example? Listen to "Seven Days" by Sting; Vinnie's his hired gun, and the drum part he conceived for that song is legendary. And it's in 5/4, something Travis has never done in his life.
@docduo Maybe. I know a lot of guys that have been playing a long time but never improve because they don't step out of their comfort zone. That's why I doubt Travis will ever truly be great, he's good, no one can deny that, but nothing I or many other non-professional drummers can't do.
@heantonstudios Go in a studio, tell the producer you want to record without a click track, and you will be laughed at, and thrown out of the studio. It is the standard. Every drummer nowadays MUST play to a click.
@JustusMax80 Metal drummers can easily play this. Punk music is like the baby version of metal. They incorporate a lot of the same techniques, same fills, etc. The real difference is in the double bass.
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.
@AsianInABox Hahahaha what the hell?I dont dig Firstly, this comment does not have any relevance to mine, and secondly.. what?! In my comment, I meant that Just Beiber is just so talked about (im not a fan or a 'hater'- but i dont like him) What im saying, is that Justin is the sucker of singing, and Travis is the sucker of drumming. As in he sucks. Travis only plays really simple beats very very loud. Its not technical, theres no feel. end of. Whats with your justin rant?.. confused :/ Ya Dig?
Adrian Young isn't good like, at all in my opinion... Travis has a background of marching, jazz, punk, ska, and hip hop, which makes him kinda versatile, but that marching snare solo sucked balls.... He could be so much better if he tried to drum like Royster or some jazzy guy... Blink will always be my favorite band though, go trav
@confettiembolism666 i just dont aknowledge it.choice man i have no idea whats popular i couldnt name you any pop band really from this millinium maybe i may lightly reckonize a name but its always been this way there been lame shit in every era. the partridge family ,maddona new kids on the bloock , emo etc durp . just dont listen to the fucking radio
@phengaman Yeah, I don't like this "he is better than him" argument too but in this case it's not just a diffrent style and way of drumming, these guys are far far away than Travis Barker or Adrian Young. But Yeah, ech one has his own type of style and it's normal situation. Sorry for my english, Peace, and Marry Christmas for everyone : )
@TuckerWeems94 Saw him when he was with the Ska band Aquabats in Cincy at Bogarts. The opened for that one hit wonder band he did a cover of come on Eline. If you ask me he saw an chance to get money with Blink when Scott didn't sow up and jumped on it. I would have done the same thing.
Listen, travis barker is a great drummer, preformer, and over all person, he was great in blink 182, +44, and sum 41. But the only reason he won is because he is insanly fast. And to all the people who say eather of these drumers suck, id like to see you do better.
This is ok. The sad thing is that the things that are the hardest to play don't sound good to non-drummers. The snare drum solo was kind of interesting. But check out say, Eric Moore or Dave Grohl, Vinnie Colaiuta, et cetera. These guys have a long way to go.
Its funny how people wanna come on here just so they can tell us whos better than travis....First of all i dont remember even fucking asking...and secondly where did they get the idea that anyone gives a shit?
Still watching this in 2022 and I started drumming in 05. One of my favs
Still here in 2022 myself bro
Yup im back as well. Watch this video at oeast once a year.
Still fresh to watch😭🔥
Nice. 😀👍🏿
2023 here
i missed the buss to school by watching this awesome shit
It’s worth it
Sure is
And now your child miss their bus to school by watching this awesome shit :)))
the guy that miced up the kit is possibly the best sound guy ever
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...
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
Well in a battle of the bands comp with prizes, it's a literal competition to win a prize, so
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??
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
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.
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!
travis's thoughts: man i haven't had a good warm up like that in a while ... time to go eat some breakfast
TRAVIS IS NOT JUST A FUCKIN PUNK DRUMMER FOR FUCK'S SAKE
Ivan Ercia who said he was? Lol...everyone knows he more in the jazz scene
travis with the precision snare marching band solo. jack of all trades
@gitchigoomi What the hell!??! Barker is the shit! What!??! I mean seriously, what are you using in comparrison!??!? Where the hell do you get off saying "Barker simply isn't that good"!??!??
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!!
Travis will always be my drum hero but Adrian did a great role also.
Even the guys who hate Travis know that he won it.
Pssshhhh
Not even close
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.
GODDAMN travis is so into it! Why he is one of my favorite drummer for sure!
Even though Adrian young had a pretty simplistic solo on those timbales ...the amount of groove, feel and flow is something you cannot teach
Travis barker all the way
travis plays with his whole body i love it
its night and day. travis is way more creative, musical, and expressive. glad he didn't become a trashman because it would've been a huge waste
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
Wow I knew Travis was sick but shit I'm blown away
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!!
Whenever they go into a fill, I'm like, "is he gonna make it?" Something shakey about their playing.
Those pixels were awesome
It was 2005 what do you expect
Who 2019 ??
Actually almost 2020! 😎👌🏼🥁
Achmad alif 2020!
That marching snare is dumb clean.
Bruh, he just diddled for like half a minute, not all that impressive.
@@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
@@danmoar5102 Nice year late reply.... snare sounds nice but the lumpiness of the player ruins it.
@@rimenuir910 douche bag
@@jonathanpurpera1753 meh
It's no contest Travis would win this drum off
Travis Barker: Best ever? no.
Travis Barker: Pretty damn good? yes.
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.
Go see him now!
He's good but there's allot of drummers that blow him away.
My best friend is Mason Young, Adrian Young's son. Bath in jealously, my children.
Pop Punk Drums :^(

I have to say Adrian was nice, but Travis won. Nice drumming, anyways.

Trevor Hubbard double bass is such a novelty.
He is not underrated, he is in high demand for fill-ins and special projects! He is great and everyone knows it!!!
Funny how he’s better with single foot than most double bass players
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 so... who won?
Travis DESTROYED Adrian
Travis looks/drumming like he’s conducting some tribal ritual music 😆😆🤣 love it though.
Hate is just another word for jealous
Travis is the GOAT
Getting Outrageously Awful Tattoos
Adrian Young sounds like he's been playing wid some PVC pipes.
Punkgae 😂 = reggae + punk rock
I remember seeing this video back in 2006 i meant full video when travis also played quads.
Who's watching in 2020
don't know if this is a drum off or a duet but....Travis kicked Adrian's ass
They both suck in plain view!
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.
hahahaha wow. Who told you that?
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 :)
2005... and still awesome! Drums on a higher level. Luv it.
Adrian Young has technique while Barker has speed...
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 😑)
WE WANTS ADRIAN YOUNG & TRAVIS BARKER DRUM OFF 2020
Still watching in 2023… I watch this like 4 times a year
Travis is the best. No competition
Kyle Owens travis barker isnt even in the top 50 greatest drummers of all time.
Nick Scatterday That snare solo was pretty awesome though.
dumbass
moron. Do you not realize how good Adrian is?
Mike portnoy
Young won.
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.
Not even close
😂
@KienDienn Never mind the left leg stuff......Travis Barker is one of the most overrated professional drummers on earth! I've seen church drummers in Chicago that would eat him alive. He's a great showman, but that's about it. Average talent.
Exactly. These guys would be eaten for breakfast in church.
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.
phil collins is simply one of the greatest talent i've seen in my life. And i appreciate you for mentioning him.
When is someone going to shame all the Barker fans by showing him vs. someone who can really solo like Tony Royster Jr.?
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.
Javier Rodriguez Tony is a fuckin beast.
Jonathan Zambrano agreed
That snare solo sucked, just diddles, flams, and some hertas thrown in.
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"
@PoeticJustice05 seriously this is a total joke. It's all about not setting the bar too high, we don't want to make the Entitled Generation feel bad about themselves by showing actual talent. This seriously bothers me that they would insult the people who actually practice and were competing in this.

470 people are deff
@lolXDimcool travis was on time the entire time
It's a fuckin calab! They're 2 of the best and they fucking killed it
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. 😀👍🏿
Travis always plays something that makes you wanna get up out your seat. Good job homie.
@eliseo rosario A robot or drum machine can play with perfect technique, and I'm not sure you understand the meaning of the word, "groove".
Jesus loves you!!!!!!
Ayone
1:43 you can hear that beat (kinda) on Fix Your Face with TRV$DJAM, can't remember which track though
Ain't no drum off. Tis a drum colaberation. Love both of their druming
@KillaVidsProductions Best drummer alive?

@ETSJoshVoxx My list consisted of drummers that are STILL ALIVE. Notice the first three words of my original comment,"Best drummer alive?"
Dudes almost in Travis’s league. Almost. That tells you.
@Derjumba2forever Vinnie plays EVERY style. And I can compare them because no matter what, Vinnie is better, by far, by way far.
Neither of these are very talented to be honest... Especially not compared to drummers like Neil Pearth, Danny Carey or Mike Portnoy
@ETSJoshVoxx No, you're right, he definitely is better than Travis, and should be on that list, although near the bottom end.
punk and ska punk
@jacobsmith78 no I didn't. Those guys don't measure up to the drummers I mentioned. They're hardly a class above Travis.
@thedumlapseries They should really make you kids take literacy tests before you are allowed to write comments on TH-cam.
JOHN BONHOM LEFT THE EARTH AND HIS SOUL AND SKILLS WENT INTO TRAVIS BARKER

Not even close
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.
So he is better then everyone else because that the purpose of drums in music
@JakeeGoesRawr most people call it a wood block but i think the correct word is cheese block. not sure though.
@ETSJoshVoxx The Rev's dead, yes I forgot Neil Peart, and Matt Greiner's not that much better than Travis.
@xtremdansio if you think Travis Barker is the best drummer in the world you know nothing about drumming.
