  • Fuck you people are annoying. Travis is good alright? It's about having fun, not being the best. So you're just as fucking annoying as whoever you're trying to fight with, because there's no point. The name of this video is Travis Barker Drum solo, not Bitch non-stop about there being better drummers.

  • the rotating drum solo surrounded by fire is PRETTY good...however, I did see Chad Smith play a 2 min drum solo in concert in a space ball...

  • when you need fire and a hydraulic riser to keep one's attention.. this is not up to par.

  • sickest riser

  • LOL why are people even comparing drummers as a whole

    ALL dummers play differently to others

    The way drummers play means that some stuff which other drummers find easy others may find hard

    Travis Barker is an amazing drummer

    Joey Jordison is an amazing drummer

    but they are amazing in different ways

    Get Over It.

  • @Drummer4life4ever827

    i abselutly agree on you.... :D

  • @thakidmanny66 Sorry, I did mean to piss off the YT police. Now get off the computer and go find a girlfriend....or at least a porn mag and some tissues.

  • awesome ^_^

  • @thakidmanny66 Interesting....you just gave your opinion. So basically you just did what you chastised others for. Also, I don't recall seeing only a "like" option. If someone puts something out there for the public to see, then they should be prepared to to hear the bad with the good. This isn't some "Barker fan club", but a random video on YT of a very average drummer that no one will remember in 20 years.

  • i like all pro drummers, always something to bring to the table, no need for this arguing on every drum video

  • i wouldnt consider him to even be a drummer, i would call him an "autistic retard child learning to hit pots and pans with a wooden stick"

  • yeah this guy isnt worth a fuck....average joe shmo, ha ha kids these days and their slightly talented heroes

  • Jesus Christ I'm tired of all these people bashin on him. I mean yeah of course people like buddy rich and neil peart are gonna be better than him, but I dont really give a damn honestly. He's my favorite drummer because he inspired me to pick up the drums. The guys just doing what he leaves and what hes passionate for. He isnt looking to be the best.

  • u guys think hes good check out grant collins.

  • How sad that people think this is talent. Travis Barker sucks donkey nuts - Buddy Miles, Buddy Rich, Ginger Baker, Neil Peart, Mitch Mitchell, Steve Smith, Kieth Moon, Dave Grohl, John Bonham, Danny Carey, Stewart Copeland, Bill Ward, Chris Turner (Orange Goblin), Earl Hudson, Jimmy Chamberlin, Brain Mantia, Chad Smith, Trivett Wingo - To name just a few. Take a look at any of these then decide how good you think Travis Barker is. And even most of these guys are pretty average...

  • go and watch martin grubinger at work kid, and learn how to drum good!

  • Dude Travis has never said he's the best or anything. He's just doing what he has a passion for. Is it so wrong for him to be someone's favorite drummer or admire him? I mean he's a punk drummer so his beats and shit aren't going to be as great as a jazz or metal drummer. At least he tries to be unique when he plays instead of all the other punk drummers playing generic beats.

  • wow i feel bad for kids who think this guy is a great drummer.

  • the arguments on here are funny, it's not a competition, it's music. Just enjoy what you like and leave others to their own opinion.

  • he set the stage on fire!!

    

  • best drummer in the world, idc what anyone says

  • I don't get the point of trash talking about artists one does not like.

  • UHHHH, YOU PUSSIES SHOULD LISTEN TO SLAYER, NONE OF THIS CUT MY WRIST BULL SHIT!

  • Proof that the loudest fans aren't necessarily the brightest. Keep lookin though, you'll find em :) *cough*Libricide

  • Why doesnt everybody feel the need to leave shitty comments... You arrogant pricks.

  • ok so maybe travis barker isn't as good as alot of other dudes out there. but for the genre he's extremely creative, and sometimes just being a performer draws attention, thats what makes travis barker, he's a decent drummer, but he is an amazing performer, i'd rather watch someone play mediocre stuff and have fun then someone sitting there like a stone doing techniques that have been drilled into their heads.

  • @2shelfbookcase Finally a Barker fan with a little sense. Describing him this way is probably accurate. It's just crazy when people spout out that he's "the best drummer to ever live!!" Not even close. Though I have to disagree a bit....sometimes watching a 'techincal" drummer can be entertaing if you're really in to drumming and it can certainly be educational.

  • @2shelfbookcase

    Indeed! Travis is very entertaining to watch perfom.

    For example, I recently got bored out of my mind watching Terry Bozzio perform.

  • Dave Grohl.

  • Being that Travis Barker is the first name to come up in a "drum solo" search, I've really being looking (with an open mind) to find something impressive. This is the 6th video I've watched, and they've been pretty mediocre.

    What is it that everyone sees in this guy? Sure, like many, he's got chops. But, there are so many more drummers worth watching. I'm not going to beat a dead horse and go through the list. But, I don't get why there's such a big fuss.

  • the taylor swift of drumming

  • why does he think playing fast makes him amazing, take steve gadd for example, he slows everything down, and he is technically amazing. Speed isnt all that matters, even if that is what your guys girl friends always say!

  • Fucking awesome !

  • This is what all of the kids are worshiping these days? After all the hype I thought I would check it out. Big let down. All you young kiddies out there need to expand your horizons a bit and realize this guy is, at best, just average. I'll give you just a few names to check out: Dave Weckl, Steve Gadd, Buddy Rich, Carter Beuford, John Bonham, Bernard Purdie, Neil Peart, Chester Thompson, Jeff Parcaro, Steve Moore(he's fun to watch), and about 100 others, ladies included.

  • @firstmusic00

    THANK YOU!!! COULD NOT HAVE PUT IT BETTER MYSELF!!!

    YOU DRUMMERS IF YOU EVER WANT TO AMOUNT TO ANYTHING  PLEASEEE TAKE THIS SMART MAN'S ADVICE!

  • Comment removed

  • @rapier10 you know he makes a better point then you do travis barker is shit compared to anyone on that list that he mentioned

  • @rapier10 and only fags mention the size of another's penis

  • @34LOLWTF u know what :O? I dont REALLY give a fuck about that :D all those drummers can go kiss my ass, and if hes talkin about exand" somethin well I think u shud try "expand" urs hehe fuck u _,,l,, :D

  • @rapier10 yea to be honest travis barker sucks dick on drums compared to all the ones in his list and how would u fucke me with a vagina?

  • @rapier10 why? do u want to suck firstmusic00 dick?

  • @scanme214 neh n u? I know u want ;) _,,l,,

  • @rapier10 you are the one who is mentioning about dick not me.

  • @rapier10 Yeah...that's the intelligent response I expected from a Barker fan.

  • @rapier10 You're representing Barker fans well with such an intelligent and witty response.

  • @rapier10 got to ask... have you seen it?

  • @firstmusic00 yah honestly mr.barker is overreated. Buddy Rich is amazing

  • @firstmusic00 and ringo starr!!!

  • @firstmusic00 Well you just sound old spouting off all those names. There has been a changing of the guard. Tony Royster Jr. and Thomas Prigden are the top dogs now.

  • @MPrint666 i don't think he ever said they were "modern" drummers.

  • @firstmusic00 felt the same way dude... such a boring rookie-shit drummer... lol...

  • @firstmusic00 ah yeah. all the usual.

  • @firstmusic00 Aye you forgot me :) haha

  • @firstmusic00 FUCK YEAH couldnt have said it better myself !!!!!

  • @firstmusic00 go buddy rich!!

  • @firstmusic00 are you like a old man or something travis barker tops all of these guys mainly steve gadd i think he is a retard and the blues thing not cool any more man

  • @BONNYHARLEY31 Keep typing...you're looking dumber by the moment.

  • @BONNYHARLEY31 wtf you talking about ?

  • @BONNYHARLEY31 "Like and old man"... If liking some of the better drummers in the world, who really plays, not just noise like Barker, then yes, he, I, and most of people like being an old man.

  • @firstmusic00 these days? This was NINE YEARS AGO! Today kids dont even KNOW what a drummer is

  • @firstmusic00 You forgot Jimmy The Rev Sullican

  • @firstmusic00 Looked up all those guys, boring as fuck. Sure they have some skill, but they have terrible showmanship and I can't stand to watch them. It puts me to sleep. Being a good drummer is definitely not just about skill, you have to be interesting, none of them are.

    Oh also, suck a fat cock you piece of shit. Everyone is entitled to like what they want so stop generalizing as us "kiddies" when people up to the age of 30 often listen to blink 182.

  • @dilligaf1942 Then you clearly no nothing about drumming you little kiddie fuckstick.

  • @firstmusic00 haha it's spelled "know" you moron. Just because those drummers are old school doesn't mean they're better. Get your head out of your ass you old piece of shit. It's not the 1980's any more, there are more things to drumming than trying to play fast and have 30 cymbals on stage.

  • Comment removed

  • @firstmusic00 Travis Barker is great, but all those drummers are way ahead of him, so yeah, they're better, by a long shot.

  • @firstmusic00 you're list reads like a "VH1's top drummers" list from the usual lame critics. Way to play it safe. I'll give you Chester Thompson and Jeff Porcaro. Too bad VH1 didn't tell you how to spell Jeff's last name. You are right about Travis Barker, though.

  • @firstmusic00 most people don't think he's the best dude, the media does. Its just that he's good (not the best) and the fact that he was in Blink 182 makes him even more popular.

  • @firstmusic00 You forgot Mike Portnoy! But I agree . .

  • sick

    

  • @TVOham

    I agree completely.

    Buddy Rich is the best. Ever.

    Travis is good, to an extent.

    He aint got shit on Buddy, though.

  • Since all of you punk ass hipsters post on Buddy Rich the greatest drummer of all times videos with hateful comments, I will post on your idols videos from now on.

    First of all anybody can pick up a pair of sticks and slam their drums like this fool does. It took me all of 1 week to do the double bass patterns that he commonly uses in many songs, and slamming the toms in 16th note fashion like he does isn't exactly a drum solo. His technique-non-existant. Need I say more?

    fucking trash.

  • @TVOham ha hmmmmm ok...well i love jesus and He loves you :)

  • @Cwizzy2012

    Jesus can't drum for shit either. Jesus is just a con artist, we're talking about musicians here.

  • @TVOham con artist huh?? why do you say that?

  • @Cwizzy2012

    He managed to fool you all into thinking he's divine.

    He's a regular Houdini.

  • @TVOham im sorry you feel that way. ill pray for ya dude

  • maricooooooooooo!!!!

  • 'm sorry that most of you barker fans that think barker is the best and don't know about "SPANKY". You'd probably wonder why you've been thinking the way you have once you see him. To all of you out there who just like BARKER that's fine. BEST? NO! IMPRESSIVE? NO! POPULAR? VERY YES! I would love to see SPANKY battle BARKER though...but i don't like watching mutilation...

    Please put "Spanky blazes in Germany black surfer" in youtube

  • **sigh** Do not say that he is the best of anything. He is not. I'll give him the fact that he is good. But that's all. Look for guys like George Kollias, Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, Danny Carey etc. Travis Barker cannot play with those guys

  • 42 people were jacking off to this and missed the like button

  • ravis barker is good, no no no very good, one of the best and one of the men on the top of the world, but after months of research, both primary and secondary, including sampling, interviews and questionnaires, without sleep nor food for weeks, i came with the most awe-inspiring conclusion, a billion$ answer that will make the world grasp with surprise, blood freeze with bewilderment,. I NOW PRESENT THE BEST, AND THAT IS GOD!!!!!

  • @themainmanishere thats old hahaha

  • The Maelstorm Mephisto by Dimmu Borgir, the slipknot drummer, nick barker and all metal drummers are just speed and no technique, they don´t put any imagination into their songs and constantly repeat the same notes over and over again, anyone can play their drum solos, even i can play them just by hearing them once, travis barker solos have way more technique, it takes me a while before playing a solo of him, any real drummer know he´s better

  • @karneyhueso True, but travis solos are not much better :P Theyre simple, but more entertaining to litsen too.

    Chris adler is a metal drummer much like those you just named, but he is different. He takes the song and tries to put ALL of his skill into it. Without taking anything away from the song. Its amazing. Watch this video /watch?v=9NbVujFjBgw it proves metal drummers DO have alot of talent.

  • @garrett1118 dude you're comparing him to METAL drummers. has travis barker EVER played metal? no, he doesnt even use double bass and he's playing on a 5 piece drumset, so have fun comparing apples to oranges. I understand you're entitled to your opinion, but until you upload a video that proves you're better, faster and more technical then travis barker you're really just barking up the wrong tree.

  • @woodpusher19 he's using a double pedal moron and has HALF the power and speed of Bonham...grow up, man

  • @woodpusher19 haha get it, barking? travis barker...? ..no? ok...

  • @woodpusher19 lol barking up the wrong tree... was that a pun intended?

  • @woodpusher19 you wouldn't know technical if Joe Morello came up behind you and played a beat on your dome. speed doesn't determine skill...and even if it did Barker is not a very fast drummer at all. He is using a double bass here which just goes to show how clueless you are 0:08 unless my ears deceive me that is a very mediocre double bass fill. this isn't even really a solo...it's a beat with a bunch of basic fills thrown in here and there

  • The first 10sec of The Maelstorm Mephisto by Dimmu Borgir makes this look like SHIT! Screw this pop punk bull shit. Thats right I said it POP PUNK. Nick Barker is MUCH better than Travis Barker.

  • @garrett1118 They're good...but if he's so bad why do people pay money to have him record their drum stuff?

  • i prefere the drummer from dragonforce

  • I seriously know nothing about drum playin .. but i think travis' playin just sounds better than the drumplayin of dimmu borgir ( nick barker) .... it just doesn't sounds like this senceless beating on his drums .. could be that other playings are harder or faster bur I think it doesn't sounds that good ...^^

  • @garrett1118 None of those drummers has an ounce of rhythm compared to him...all those jokes can do is play on a triggered drum set at 260 BPM. That's not drumming...the solo he plays here is based off of drum n bass.

  • k for all the people that dislike him ok well that is your opinion i think its very funny how u think no one esle even matters proving your ignorence and otherwise i think hes very talented and that he expands his abilitys as far as they can go not by just playing one genre of music but alot of different ones giving him the ability to mix styles and surpas most drummers in which they only know how to play one or two genres

  • then u truly no nothing of music

  • u cant fucking compare punk a metal dumbass

  • @Kloskillz64 dude you can't compare songs or bands, but you can compare drummers, because if the drummers are really good they can play any type music. And their drum solos aren't tuned to just one genre. They should spread most genre's drumming.

  • Travis rocks!! One of best young guns around!!

    check out this solo by a huge Travis Barker fan and the author of

    "The Book of Funk Beats- grooves for snare,

    bass and hihat"

    (this book has some very Travis-esque beats and fills- check it out!!)

    search:

    "DRUM SOLO IN 3 MOVEMENTS"

    on YouTube

  • @garrett1118 Don´t forget Flo Mounier (Cryptopsy) and Romain Goulon (Necrophagist) this guy´s childplay

  • @mamonesdelacalle24 Travis makes Flo look like a retarded amateur, dude. What Travis is doing here is actually playing the drums - you know incorporating beats and fills - all Flo does is smash around as fast as he can while playing the easiest beats ever. Romain Goulon is good but comparing him to Travis is like comparing apples and oranges.

  • Being a showman is half of being a band musician, session musicians are the ones obsessed with playing in complex rhythms and time sigs, what travis does is fun and sounds big, he is energetic and plays some cool beats, hes not out of time, and thats what you want from a band drummer. if you are that obsessed to call him rubbish just go listen to dream theatre and be happy, stop rippin on travis im sure he could hold down a lot more complex beats!

  • @garrett1118 Thank you

  • @garrett1118 Amen to that, uber fast easy drumming in 4/4 is just crap!

  • @ecidarrac Funny because that's all Buddy Rich did during his solos.

  • @garrett1118 Do you feel cool when you rag on someone that's better than you?

  • He should stick to recording and playing the song. Solos don't seem to be his thing. Someone please! get him a good sounding snare ( or a new drum Tech) that doesn't sound like a bad toy drum. I say this with all due respect. He is good and he rocks his heart into it for sure.

  • If it weren't for The Beatles there wouldn't be a blink 182 Mark Hoppus said himself that the Beatles inspires him to play music.

  • @drumnoahworld The beatles inspired a hell lot of ppl :)

  • Kelpster - 'the beatles suck?' How old are you? Ever tried to write a song? If you had you'd realise how hard it is to have a unique voice and wouldn't talk such shite!

  • Compared to the many other drummers out there, this guy Barker sound very average??? What is all the fuss about?? Thomas Lang owns monkeys like Barker and Jordison...pmsl!!!!!!

  • What the fuck? double pedal is not fucking cheating at all. im not saying that i dont like single pedal drummers like bonham, or barker but double pedal is a whole different style thats just as difficult

  • i think if u just want bursts of dbl kick like bonzo or barker than stay with one pedal but if ur a metal drummer itd be dumb not to use a dbl pedal

  • What's with the comparisons? Who gives a crap if he's the best/not the best, whatever that is? He's great for this band, end of story. Would the Beatles have been any better with Vinnie on drums? I think not.

  • @InnAb109 the beatles wouldnt have been better with anyone. they suck.

  • this really is'nt even worth commenting about. there are by far more important things to worry about...like swine flu...i'm more worried about that than i am about travis barkers drumming skills. the guy is a good drummer. he's not an ian paice/terry bozzio/william cobham type player...but he's a cut above most punk drummers. i know he wishes he was stewart copelond though. lol. above his drumming skills, he's a great entertainer. he got a lucky break and is seizing his moment. would'nt you?

  • Why the fuck is this guy so popular? Just cause he played in Blink 182? They're the gayest bunch of pansies I've EVER heard and seen in my life. They never should have been popular AT ALL. And this guy, well I mean, he's good, but he's NOT THAT GREAT!! Just listen to any speed metal drummer and you'll hear that they can play faster and better.

  • speed metal drumers cant play faster! listen to how fast travis barkers d beat is then listen to how quick he is with his single strokes, just because he dosent hide behind a double kick like most metal fags dosent mean there better

  • Wow you don't know what the hell you're talking about. You know something? I bet MY hands (and feet for that matter) are faster than this asshole. In fact I KNOW they are because I've never seen this pansy ass punk play anything as fast as what I'VE played. Fuck Travis Barker.

  • lol i sense jelousy

  • why dont you star in a multi million selling band then??

  • since when was music about speed?

  • i understand that speed isnt everything but this is a drum solo so he can do what the fuck he likes, any bitches saying they dont rate travis on here are the biggest doughnuts around, ive been drumming for 16 years and teaching for 7 and it is sad to think that some people are finding it difficult to tell a good drummer.

  • @crozy999 i agree with you

  • lmao... give some examples of ur "fast" drumming then..

    just because travis aint kickin off the double bass in EVERY STUPID SONG u say hes not as fast as them ?

    im not a very good drummer but i know that he plays very fast, n that he has an excellent timing.

    i think hes popular cuz hes creative and a good entertainer....

  • look up the song my phears have become phobias by as blood runs black barker couldnt hit a snare note in that song lol jk but still he couldnt even play half of it LISTEN TO THE WHOLE THING!!!!!

  • its fears. not phears. lol but i agree travis isnt nearly as good as alot of drummers. infact the only reason hes rated so high is cuz his popularity not skill.

  • he is the best!!!

  • you dumb fuck

    there's no such thing as the best drummer

    there is always someone better

    jeez.... you are a retard

  • Opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one! Are you looking for technical perfection, creativity, originality, or what?? Bottom line, dude is way more famous and richer than you will ever be. And it was his drumming, no matter what you think of it, that got him there.

  • true that

  • is every single person fucking retarded?

    how can you honestly complain about travis' technique, then go on to say how shit he is at playing something he is known best for?

    please..! i fucking beg all of you to match the stuff he does.

    lmao.

  • From 0:11 to 0:26 he just rolls really really fast on the toms and snare and I reckon it's real sweet ay. Listen to Travis's old stuff - He had a huge inlfuence on modern drumming especial in the old-school Blink-182 days. Just listen to the drums on any track off the "Take of Your Pants and Jacket" album.

  • What I wanna know is WHAT THE F***K IS HE DOING FROM 0:11 ONWARDS?!

    Has it got some kinda name for how he's hitting the drums? I think he's like bouncing the sticks and doing double-hits or something. I really want to learn it though.

  • nothinng specail

  • I'm a drummer, and I will say that a few songs of his aren't all that great for drumming. But most of them are really good and creative parts. Same as some of solos.

  • I was there. :)

  • DOnt hate but i love travis style and his palying but honestly some of the stuff that he does isnt hard or difficult in any respects but i still love him as a drummer

  • anyone who plays drums is a real drummer. jus some are better than others

  • Comment removed

  • the beginning sounds like the solo from "im lost without you" otherwise its a DRUM SOLO DUMBASS!!!

  • lets put this to rest once and for all. Travis is the best famous drummer in his genre for the past 10 years.

  • @phct in his genre ??? hm EVER HEARD OF CHAD SMITH !?

  • @phct Welp... if that's the truth... that's a really pathetic genre...

  • @phct thats not saying very much

  • @phct NAHH! Slipknot's Joey Jordison is... Better known as the arch-angel of drumming.. he's the one

  • @phct No doubt Travis is an insanely good drummer, but I think that saying he is the best famous drummer in the pop-punk genre in the past 10 years is rather narrow a scope. That's like saying Neil Peart is the best Prog Rock drummer playing for more than 30 years. It's true, if for nothing else, because the list of candidates is a short list.

  • @yukansuggit the list is short for great FAMOUS pop-punk drummers

  • @phct i dont understand how u u can say hes the best or one of the best, hes not even in the top 20 and im a big fan of blink, he just extremely overated

  • @phct cmon, it doesnt look that hard

  • @phct just like I am the best most unfamous homosexual in all of california...

  • he may not be the best drummer, but c'mon he is very entertaining to watch. He can portray emotion that is an ability that most drummers lose when there playing starts becoming too technical. I guess it really comes down to what your looking for in music: what IS great or what makes YOU feel great. Personally, I think a huge part of music is entertainment, but that's not to say that you don't need skills to play music. However, The jonas brothers have disproved this statement : (

  • hahahaaa yeah, hes still pretty good though.

    you have to admit that.

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!²

  • Best drummer in the world!!!

  • NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ah please stop the oooahs crowd, i can barely hear the drums!!!!!

  • He is just a heavily sponsored drummer with relatively little talent. Barker is really more of an image than he is a drummer.
