As a drummer I have always admired Travis Barker’s technical skills and musicianship. I think he’s got a great playing style and always had a bit of showmanship onstage, which set himself apart from other drummers within the pop punk genre, who might be just as good if not better. Travis had previously played on tour with a broken hand, obviously limiting his playing technique, but adding to his dexterity as a musician. But his latest tour stunt just blows that away, by him playing on a 360 degree revolving levitated stage which sees him eventually playing upside down. The stunt is reminiscent of the Motley Crue Aerial drum solos performed by Tommy Lee back in the 80′s. To be fair I’ve seen Travis do better solos, but it’s definitely worth watching.
