I'll agree that Travis is an extremely talented drummer, and I'd go as far as to say he's definitely up there on the list, but I'm still going to stand by Neil Pert as best drummer alive.

Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

was waiting for someone to challenge what i said haha
what makes travis better than neil pert...travis was in multiple bands...all alot better than rush haha sorry had to

hope for a quick recovery!

Neil Pert is greeeeat, but Travis is by far my favorite.

I just came on here to post this and was beaten to it, lol.

This really is a shame though. i am not a fan of Blink182 but really liked his solo stuff. My heart and prayers go out to him and his family, as well as the others involved.

Man, Travis Barker is the man. Best drummer thats out there. I hope he pulls through this. For those who didnt, RIP.

I don't really care for blink182..

but he drummed for the aquabats's "the fury of the aquabats" album (their best album imo) and for that, I hope he makes a full recovery to keep on using his talent..

tommy lee back in the motley crue days did that as well.

sucks, hope he gets better.
whats up with drummers and plane accidents?

this was crazy when I heard about it. I always used to watch his vids whn I got into the drums. Hopeully he'll pull out and e good to go after the recovery. what a tragic event. RIP to those that died. Prayers and hopes to travis and the other guy.

and was the first to do that. Tommy Lee is a fantastic drummer, his solos are insane

the other guy was some dj who was from the philly area. thats what the news last night said

yeah who cares what people say about him, hes a great musician

sucks to hear this, god willing he'll make a speedy recovery. beside all the side work he has done with other bands. travis has done tons for after school music programs. The dna of those programs are being used currently in the philadelphia area.

ps. even thou im NOT a rush fan, Neil Pert is by far the greatest drummer that ever lived. travis is a close second.
