Travis Barker Playing Drums with One Arm

[cthouseholder]

Thats dedication!!! To drumming and his fans! :)

[popasoda1900]

i want all you guys to break you're arm right now g to drum set and give me a beat that sounds just as good as dis dose....plus he isent showing ff his skill he is just drumming cause is other hand cant do it cause its broken

[firstmusic00]

He's Rick Allen's bitch...period!

[NickHill668]

neil peart shits on this guy

[skaterman0094]

Travis is a great drummer and all but i give Rick Allen of Def Leppard more respect for playing one handed since he can only play one handed for having lost an arm in a car accident.

[FlyingchickenCrap]

What boy you wanna cookie? xD

[Gulz464]

who is Travis Barker?



[crematedmemoir]

travis has some serious skills, he kicks my arse six ways from here to hell, let's put it that way, but there are heaps of better drummers, honestly

[Holloway6151975]

If Animal saw him out on the street he would say KILL KILL KILL....AYHAYAHYAHAYAHYHA...DR­UM BATTLE ........ DRUM BATTLE...You Loose

Mayhem: Ok Animal funs over back on the chain

Animal: HA HA HA HA HA HA

Buddy Rich: Thanks Animal for handling my light work

Animal: YOU NEXT!

Buddy Rich: Bring it!

*Animals throws snare at Buddy's head*

Animal: YOU LOOSE!

Animal FTW

[Laura2kii8]

dave grohl can probabley drum using his head

[Achannelorsomething]

@Laura2kii8 its cause he's jesus. even facebook says so. look it up

[meztruo]

@Laura2kii8 or the head of his dick, even more probable

[windriderzar2enabled]

ok so i can do this. and there's millions better and worse than me that can do the same, or even better.

[Aidos8158]

Tony>Travis

[kakashiluver123100]

so when did he say he was TRYING to impress you? i'm 100% sure he doesn't care what you think...

[012Hubba]

FUCK! This guy's a pathetic drummer. Instead of trying look like a good drummer by playing with one arm, of in the middle of the ocean, or going upside-down... why doesn't he just play a good fucking drum solo?!?

[MandragoraGaming]

Whatever.Everything to draw attention..

[vcval]

meh the drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm.

[rangu66]

Listen to the drummer in the band Circa Survive, all mainstream artists aren't talented, mediocrity is what makes them famous, Be generic enough and all 12year old children with radios will like you. Some will grow up and realize what real music is others will not, 8years ago I was won of the kids who thought mainstream music was good. But now i realize it is not

[mikeisanidiot]

@rangu66 Yeah, all mainstream and such. Cool story, bro.

[rangu66]

@mikeisanidiot cool meme bro, whats that the 307millionth time its been used?

[julianisdope]

@rangu66 not all mainstream music is bad and not all non mainstream music is good.

[rangu66]

@julianisdope I've found only a few mainstream artists of today who are good but yes i agree with you, my point was most mainstream music that is portrayed to be good actually isnt

[RyanHeath87]

hes not trying to show off, he broke his arm. i give him props for finishing his tour with one arm when you know damn well if you broke your arm you'd cancel your tour! travis is great at what he does.

[gizmohawk69]

@RyanHeath87 Yeah, he's great at what he does. Playing easy drum parts in a mediocre band. I guess at least with a broken arm, he has an excuse to make drummers look bad. Real inspirational. And no, most people wouldn't cancel a tour. They'd do what he did, except many of them would do it better. God knows Peart or Dailor would find a way.

[awesa]

He's givin himself the thumbs-up, lol.

[s30v2011]

neil peart is well....alot better. and could probly do that without sticks o.0

[Jords464]

he's only hitting half the snares?

[DeathMerciless]

fail

[TorZAAI]

he sure is good at smashing those crash cymbals..

[gizmohawk69]

Travis Barker sucking at drums with one arm.

[peterawsome]

uhh.. i can do this... not impressive at all

[duuumey]

@peterawsome Really make a video about it and show me

[Chrome104]

Cobus whoops him

[DrummaMan75]

Don't forget...Vinnie Colaiuta.

[Wilfie321]

I think he's like Justin Beiber - he doesn't claim to be incredible or show off, but people make him out to be way more than what he is, and people hate him because of it. 

[Neivlak]

@Wilfie321 wow. that was so beautifully explained. jesus. 

[AZAMENAZA]

@Wilfie321 that was awesomely said, i think i agree

[Wilfie321]

@AZAMENAZA cheers ;)

[TheNippleTassle]

@Wilfie321 he's nothing like Beiber, Beiber is a little faggot. Don't like his music much, but Travis has skills.

[TreverUndeadXpdX]

@Wilfie321 SO TRUE THANK YOU! Travis never said he was the best everyone just praises his as the best so he gets the hate for it.

[asdfcrow]

@Wilfie321 One of the smartest observations I've heard in awhile. We need more people with this much sense.

[Haeliny]

@Wilfie321 Oh please man, don't compare Tommy Lee with fuckin' Justin Bieber. Tommy is just amazing :)

[Wilfie321]

@Haeliny uhh, who?

[Mussa19901]

@3rdtimemommy Take him home

[jarrodjaco]

dude any half good 13 year old drummer like me could play that with one arm its easy!!

[jarrodjaco]

@DAMIVzombie why wouldnt i be able to?

im quite good actuly 

[DAMIVzombie]

@jarrodjaco because, for a lot of his new stuff he's released he has some sick licks that a 'half good 13 year old drummer' couldn't just play off hand with out practice.

[jarrodjaco]

@DAMIVzombie did i say that i wouldn't play them with out practicing anyway he should be way better after playing for years (i'm not referencing to this video cause that would be crazy)

[Sidepiece2]

@DAMIVzombie he actually isn't too impressive a drummer... You should chuck out Jojo Mayer and Virgil Donati :d

[DAMIVzombie]

@Sidepiece2 i have already heard of them. they are better then Travis, but I'm just curious why people say he sucks when he stays in time (which is all a drummer has to do) and has made some pretty sick drum parts.

[Sidepiece2]

@DAMIVzombie yeah u right lol he doesnt suck but u no he gets so much attention compared to these great drummers and its like... :(

[DAMIVzombie]

@Sidepiece2 it's because of his style. He's more out there with his music, and plays more modern stuff that's popular to this generation. Like pop-punk and rap.

[jonlyte]

why is everyone saying that its not impressive for one arm? he's playing with one arm...you're obviously not gonna see epically amazing drumming retards...you're going to see an effort to not disappoint fans that's all...half of you probably can't play drums so stop talking smack.

[Sidepiece2]

@jonlyte No it's most likely you can't play drums.

[jonlyte]

@Sidepiece2 i never said i could. but can you? wheres your videos? travis may not be amazing but he's better than you and still good at drums...not to mention he's living his dream and making a living out of at the same time.

[regdorsey1986]

now do that playing YYZ or Dance of Eternity

[roketfingers]

wat an ugly guy

[Cagethemonkey1819]

My friend says travis barker is the best drummer ever and he plays the drums and says he's better and knows more...HA BULL SHIT XD!

[rbig41]

you guy are messed up go hate somewhere else. why go around looking for thing to hate on

[EvilScotman951]

its funny because he sucks with two hands

[Cagethemonkey1819]

Not hard xD dahm he sucks (COMPARED TO The Rev,Neil,Joey,Mangini,Portnoy,­etc)

[jameshalo100]

@Cagethemonkey1819 you have that right

[larzakajugganot]

@Cagethemonkey1819

don't forget

derek roddy and george kollias

[swisstripz]

man, travis would have a lot easier time playing that snare if his pies weren't 12 feet in the air

[jeeriva]

not amazed..

[gibson00000000000000]

so can my mother..

[SRsyndrome]

I meant left foot, my bad.

[SRsyndrome]

He's actually using the foot pedal with his right foot.

[RaRiira]

Oh please HIT MORE CYMBALS

[RombusEvilBones]

why so much hate on travis? he is a good drummer, not saying the best and not average too.

[hmmmtietmetmosterd]

@RombusEvilBones kinda amatuer lvl realy

[AxeAttack65]

Is The Other Arm Holding A Syringe Or Crack Pipe?

[stayalive1017]

@AxeAttack65 hahaha sure it is

[Hot4teach1984]

@AxeAttack65 No, it's broken...

[killer231233]

Tre cool is better than travis barker i just gotta say TRE IS AWESOME, TRAVIS IS OVER RATED

[Hot4teach1984]

@killer231233 I'm sorry. Did you just say what I thought you said? Tre Cool is an okay drummer, sure, but if either of them are overrated, it's definitely Cool.

[kennyhotz17]

@Hot4teach1984 Dude you gotta be joking right? Tre Cool is miles better than this hack. Have you actually SEEN him play? There's no way Travis can keep up with Tre. Listen to the song Platypus or watch the live version of Burnout and then tell me he's "okay"

[Hot4teach1984]

@kennyhotz17 I've heard them both. Have you heard "Always", "Adam's Song", "Anthem Part Two", "Heart's All Gone", "Natives", or "Up All Night"? Just to name a few...

[kennyhotz17]

@Hot4teach1984 Actually i have heard a few. He's not terrible. Just overrated. very overrated. Nothing Tre couldn't play

[killer231233]

@Hot4teach1984 also listen to enemius sleepus and then for a aid to see how HARD that song is to play look at it on green day rock band Nuff Said

[kennyhotz17]

@killer231233 Totally agreed. And the dumb fuck above doesn't know what he's talking about

[Hot4teach1984]

@kennyhotz17 Eh. I'm not a drummer, I'm a bassist, but last I checked, Travis Barker didn't write the drum track to "Know Your Enemy".

[kennyhotz17]

@Hot4teach1984 Was that suppose to be an insult? I really don't understand what you just said. Please explain...

[Hot4teach1984]

@kennyhotz17 No, it wasn't an insult. I was insinuating that "Know Your Enemy" sucked (on every instrument, not just drums, maybe green day just had an epic brain fart). I just don't appreciate being called a dumbfuck. And I was under the impression that you thought Barker sucked. Apologies. I guess I just prefer Barker's playing style to Tre's? I mean, I like them both, I just think Barker's better.

[kennyhotz17]

@Hot4teach1984 I apologize for the insult. I just thought you were implying that Tre sucked. I was under the impression that you were the typical Travis Barker fan boy that starts trouble every time someone disagrees. But i can see you're not, and even though i disagree, i respect your opinion. Have a nice day.

[Hot4teach1984]

@kennyhotz17 No problem dude. I hate those kinds of people, to be honest. I just love listening to good music. Have a good one yourself.

[aNewFazera]

@Hot4teach1984 @kennyhotz17 This is how all disagreements on Youtube should end.

[BuffoonCinema]

Travis Barker, "So easy, even a caveman can do it."

[FormerHuman]

I'd be more impressed if, you know, it was good music.

[abcrx32j]

Travis Sucks!!!

[TheBulldawg4life]

How in the hell is Travis Barker over-rated? Sure he may not be the most technical drummer in the world, or the best. However show me one other guy that plays as aggressively as Barker, as consistently as Barker, and as creatively as Barker. Then spin him upside down to play for 5 minutes..

Over-rated as a term is over-rated.

[ListenToReasonBand]

@TheBulldawg4life If you think Barker is creative, Matt Greiner will blow your mind.

[iLuke182]

Haters gonna hate. I'd love to see all these people hating on him play what Travis did in the spinning gyro ball at one of blink-182's concerts...

[sonovdin]

Wow, Thats.not.hard.at.all.

[manutdr8]

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

[sabbie7]

he looks like an orc.

[DRUMMERMARK100]

I LOL'D. 

[TheBigBadPanda]

Im with the "most overrated drummer" crowd, but still, its pretty impressive to keep on going with a broken wrist. Kudos to that

[EscapeMySNIPER]

Ain't got shit on Robert Ortiz!! Escape The Fate

[Vrilbender]

Fake, he plays the snare drum with his left foot... the Def Leppard drummer is unvelievable... Just that..

[A7X4evrr]

Anyone here look up any drumming by morgan rose its like travis barker on steroids.

[MrChinoVengeance]

he used to play with both... but he took an arrow to the elbow

[WizardCrotch]

@cgmsdh Lmfaooo

[xxstaggerxx]

SO BRAVE

[xemnas11]

he's good...but he's no rick allen

[heinzie5]

woooo one arm! impressive! omg! he is like the best drummer evurrrrr! fuck benny greb, fuck jojo mayer, fuck stanton moore, fuck tony royster jr, fuck mike johnson, fuck bernard purdie, fuck gavin harrison. THIS is drumming! ONE FUCKING ARM! ONE! FUCKING! ARM! HOLY SHIT HE IS AMAZING! I WANT TO BE INSIDE HIM RIGHT NOW! IF DRUMMING GETS BETTER THEN THIS I DONT WANT TO SEE IT BECAUSE ILL PROBABLY DIE AND SHIT OUT MY INSIDES!

[baderman01]

@heinzie5 wooaahhh matee wtf

[heinzie5]

@baderman01 my bad... i got a little over excited at travis barker playing one armed drums....

[jkingmotorhead1]

@heinzie5 haha.... the Def leopard drummer does this every day.....

[crazygame7]

@jkingmotorhead1 Def Leopard is gay

[MoviecriticAC]

Such a good song

[hunterkiller432]

It's not actually that hard to play one handed...

[Mrsfham]

Faker

[cgmsdh]

He needs a whole arm to play this? I could do this with my dick...

[MrJustapersonlikeyou]

@cgmsdh well how much money have you made by doing it?? while ur dissin travis he's laughing his way 2 the bank. don't be a jackass

[wilsonelmalo]

most overrated drummer ever..

[imdiegolol]

lol. yeaah no. dave grohl will still always be my favorite... not rlly into travis :/

[celluoiddify]

i think what people don't get is hes not showing off. He broke his arm and still wanted to play the tour so he learned to use his left arm for his right arm stuff and his left leg for his left arm stuff.. He did this because he loved drumming and going on tour

[NINJAX2X2X]

Fuck that fag...people didn't even know who he was until they started wearing his clothing line...and he really blew up when he did that soulja boy cover...fuck him

[wildicepick]

@NINJAX2X2X I'm not really that into him, but your wrong dude he was a big drummer before that.. you probably didn't know him.

[iqbalmohsenmustafa]

crazy travis !

[turnstylezdrumming]

man people just can't stop hating

[KorruptedMinds]

if you people can't tell, he's using something similar to what controls and open hat, with his left foot to hit the snare, while also going down with his left hand for the faster snare hits, just look, his left leg times up perfectly with all the in between snare hits

[ZinayH]

But the what is trigering the Snare.. because it sound so midi..lol

[TheOzzyT]

I hear a snare while he hits a crash, is he using his dick?

[sunworshipper7]

@TheOzzyT yeah there was lots of snare when he clearly wasnt hitting the snare. what the hell?

[crazytrain58]

Ge lost the other one in a plane accident...

[EpicFailUnicornBacon]

@SilentMott The drummer from def leopard has extra pedals to control the drums with his feet

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@SilentMott Really people? These are the kinds of shit-brained comments we are putting at the top of the pages these days? This faggot probably listens to Lil' Wayne for chrissake.

[SilentMott]

@XxStrongDrums1996xX I hope not you're not calling me the faggot because you sound like a bigot. "Faggot" has officially become the laziest offensive comment that every 6 year old has shit out as a last the resort their undeveloped brains come up with to insult someone.

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@SilentMott Actually, I am. "Faggot" does not hold true to the connotation you describe, fortunately. It's a diverse insult that is easy to comprehend XD But really, your comment is worthless trash, and should be on top. People seem to be under the impression that Travis was trying to impress with this act. He wasn't. This tour actually showed a lot of passion and integrity on his part. He injured himself, but didn't want to cancel, so he played with one arm instead.

[SilentMott]

@XxStrongDrums1996xX Congrats on spending all your time commenting on all the worthless comments on youtube. I can't think of anything more worthless than THAT. With that said I'll leave you to your hotpockets, knobby fat hands and grainy porn.

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@SilentMott Ah, you seem to have a false interpretation of me. I no longer wish to delve into this dispute, as my intelligence level obviously far surpasses yours. Bye.

[DeadPhishHead91]

@XxStrongDrums1996xX kid, you're a fucking faggot. if he's a trained jazz drummer, why does he play drums the way he does? He wouldnt be playing drums for "lil wayne" or blink 182 if he was a trained jazz drummer, retard. He would play way more complicated shit than anything he plays, idiot.

[IFASTI]

@XxStrongDrums1996xX I am sure travis also did the drums for lil wayne. :p

[Nox2913]

@SilentMott A-fucking-men

[oldmanjenkins1990]

Haha simple This is so easy i could play it with one hand.... Oh wait.

[led531]

I prefer to hear him play with no arms

[chrisacopland]

lol

[TheDT07]

I've known Travis Barker for about a decade or so, but he still freaking drums like a five year old.

[chrisacopland]

@TheDT07 word haha

[viciousroadietom]

i was expecting a def leppard cover song...

[bordensize]

I hate overrated drummers.

[supersamg7]

Tre cool is better

[TreCoolness]

@supersamg7 Damn right he is

[worminator82]

as a drummer myself, not impressed. not hard to do. not at all. pretty standard for most drummers. drummers actually play with one hand more than you would think cause they drop or break sticks on a regular basis. in fact, if you cant play with one hand, you are gonna look like an asshole when you drop or break a stick live and have to stop playing.

[Pimapof]

I've played drums for over a decade now and I know shit about it. I don't see why everyone rages at Barker for doing what he does, he's a good drummer but just because he's playing with 1 arm doesn't mean he's supposed to be the best. Plus that flying drum solo, it takes more than skill to fly around and spontaneously spin around with flashy lights all around you to get that right. Keep in mind that it was Blink-182 that got him to where he is now.

[colliernation96]

look at def leopardsm drummer

[caurium]

rick allen is better...

[AdamScadAdam]

@caurium MOST DRUMMERS ARE BETTER!

[caurium]

@AdamScadAdam but rick allen has only one arm

[WendyOrocker]

@caurium yeah and Rick Allen has a $40,000.oo kit that's set up to help him be better. Pfffttt!! Give the guy some credit. jeeez!

[TaylorM987987]

This guy does this once because of a cast, the drummer from Def Leopard does it all the tame and sounds better than this guy.......does that make sence?

[SleepyFroggy]

lol foot pedal snare

[Legoman19892]

@SleepyFroggy The drummer for Def Leopard uses one.

[SleepyFroggy]

@Legoman19892 Yeah I know. I tried one, it's wierd

[jonlyte]

haters gtfo...you probably can't even play drums and probably don't even know anything about drums so don't bother critiquing if you have no idea what you're talking about... most people don't like him because of his flashy movements when he plays...for crying out loud he's a good drummer.

[BrettEnjoysRockBand]

@jonlyte I can play and i know a lot about drums so im going to talk shit k?

[SourAK47]

he can jack off and play the drums at the same time... i wish i had that talent

[bla78ck]

he aint playing with any arms now ...

[Mapon123]

this is what happens when you forget your stickbag :P

[MischiefA7X]

anyone else see this and think "well thats how Rick Allen of Def Leppard has played his drums since he was 17"? so basically his entire career using one arm cuz of a car accident that ripped it off, now hes 48 and still touring and recording. now that, my fellow youtubers, is a great drummer using one arm.

[Jay88018]

Rick was 21 when he lost his arm, but your right about everything else.

@MischiefA7X
