I usually can't get into his stuff because looking at TB makes me sad, but that was pretty good :thumbsup:

I love watchin him drum... he's a good showman and IMO a good drummer. I'm a sucker for snare rolls and the hit-hat like he did in +44's song 155 so I guess that makes me like this remix even more.

I have seen +44 live twice. Amazing.

As you can see from my name, I love Blink 182, as well as Angels and Airwaves

He's not a bad drummer at all. Very solid, and occasionally creative with his use of cymbals (though not so much in these videos). I'd say he is solely responsible for Blink 182's jump from C-grade band to A-list MTV staples. Their previous drummer was very weak in comparison and they never would have sounded polished enough to hit it that big.

He's no Jimmy Chamberlain, but Barker is well suited to the music he plays.

Indeed. I need a much better copy then I have, but I'm not going to buy an entire crappy rap album just to get it.

Wahhhh look at me I can't say anything positive

he is a product of his environment. I'd be that way too in his shoes (from k-mart).

He plays pretty well. It's pretty crazy to say he's a terrible drummer imo. He may not be your cup of tea, yes there are 'better' drummers, but I still don't get the hate?

Not a terrible drummer by any means...but I think there are PLENTY of drummers out there more well-rounded and technically proficient than him.

Ya, Rev kicks ass (plus he can sing). Barker isn't bad though, definitely talented for what he does.

I like A7 a lot but in terms of drumming, I don't think the Rev is anything more than just a standard metal drummer laying on the double kick.

I really appreciate Danny Carey of Tool for his eccentricity, and I think some pop bands have some surprisingly hidden drum talent like Yellowcard, My Chemical Romance, and even Dashboard Confessional.

But yes I do also think Barker is some good stuff.
