I personally think Travis is overrated and younger kids see him as "the best drummer ever" because he hits hard and plays tricky stuff which sounds unplayable to them or they just jump on the bandwagon with everyone else who thinks he's amazing.
Not my favourite drummer.......not my favourite solo, but I've heard far worse than Travis Barker. For what it is, he does it just fine. What more does he have to do?
Learn to play more styles and not smash everything up all day.
Why? He's got his thing goin' on, it works for him and it pays him well. Why should he suddenly break into samba's or free form jazz? It's not what he does. He's not the only successful drummer never to branch into other genres. Moonie used to smash stuff up all the time. He only ever played an absurd form of rock drumming. No-one ever suggests that he'd have been better received if he learned to play more styles. People just accepted it for the show he put on and the sounds he created.....like Travis, he influenced thousands. Why should Barker be held to different standards?
Is it really Travis Barker that pisses people off.....or the idiot fanboys on youtube?

omgf da best drumer on da webb!!!!11 He just dubbel roles all over kit with symbols and kickpeddle. Tarvis Barkers & Joen Jordenson 4 LYFE <3 <3
Seriously though, he has found his niché and is making a living of it, which in itself is impressive. Hadn't it been for all those meddling fans, I wouldn't be half as irritated over Travis as I normally am.
Absolutely agreed on this.Why? He's got his thing goin' on, it works for him and it pays him well. Why should he suddenly break into samba's or free form jazz?
I love aggressive drumming but cannot stand saccharine-sweet vocalists doing the cutesy punk routine - there's never been anything "punk" about that and it pretty much makes me want to vomit. Always hated that band despite that I like its drummer.... listening to his overly aggressive playing annoys me. I do like Blink182 though.
Nooooo.... I mean destroy his heads and cymbals with just using the one dynamic
