Absolutely agreed on this.
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.
Travis hitting heads and cymbals hard enough to break them? Is that really the standard you want to use? Because if it is, then we can draw up very long lists of drummers who break things and stick to their genres that I suspect you might be into. We can start with Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins if you like.
Anyway, I'm neutral on the TB issue. Not my favorite but he's a good drummer and I suspect I'd like his drumming a lot more if his taste in music were closer to mine.
I love Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins but Taylor doesn't hit the cymbal too hard they'll break, I've seen John Tempesta hit harder and he said he hasn't broke any throughout his whole tour for the past few years. But yeah, I've seen videos of Travis and his cymbals are trashed, it's pretty bad that he just whales on the drums with no dynamic (Soulja Boy remix).
