Happy Birthday, Travis Barker!
For those who don’t know, Travis Barker is the drummer and founding member of pop-punk legends, Blink 182. Known for his incredible energy and ferocious playing style, Travis will forever go down in history as one of the most iconic drummers of all time.
He has created an image and a legacy that will withstand the test of time and as such, has been an inspiration in some way or form to any want-to-be drummer of the last 30 years. Travis has had quite the rollercoaster career – from headlining stadiums with Blink 182, to working with Machine Gun Kelly, and Eminem to marrying a Kardashian and being involved in a plane crash, surviving but suffering multiple serious burns and almost needing his foot amputated.
Despite all the highs and lows, Travis still remains here to tell all and as such we’ve put together some moments where he stole the show!

Travis Barker – Soulja Boy – Crank That
I could be wrong (highly likely), but this may have been the first-ever drum cover to hit the internet and by Travis Barker no less! Sure it’s cymbal heavy, LOUD and filmed on a calculator or Nokia 3310, but this was cutting edge back in 2007!
