My favorite drummer from all times.


He's my favorite drummer of all times, not because he is the best, just because he has been my muse from all days and for him i started to play the drums.

from wikipedia:
Travis Landon Barker (born November 14, 1975) is an American drummer, who achieved most of his fame by drumming for the band, Blink-182. He currently is the drummer for +44 and has also played for side projects Box Car Racer, Transplants and Expensive Taste.

After initially playing for bands such as The Suicide Machines and as "Baron Von Tito" for The Aquabats, his career took off when he joined up with punk pop band, Blink-182 in 1998. Barker became known for his mohawk and his tendency to perform without a shirt, revealing a multitude of tattoos. Barker has since established himself as a versatile drummer, producing and guest appearing in music projects of numerous genres including hip-hop, punk rock, alternative rock, ska rap, pop and even country music.

As vast as his musical interests are his business ventures. He founded a clothing company, Famous Stars and Straps in 1999, LaSalle Records in 2004, as well as a Wahoo's Fish Tacos restaurant in Norco, California. Companies such as DC Shoes and Zildjian cymbals have co-designed products in his name.

Barker's marriage to former Miss USA, Shanna Moakler, was featured in MTV's Meet the Barkers (2005–2006). After filing for divorce in 2006, his marriage trouble and personal life have been scrutinzed in the media following a public MySpace battle[1] with his wife and a brief relationship with Hilton Hotel heiress, Paris Hilton. Moakler recently announced that the 2 are making a fresh start and working it out for their children
