So, here is my brand new heroin. I'm kinda late anyway but I admire him so much when I saw his videos on youtube. Travis Landon Barker (born November 14, 1975 in Fontana, California, USA) is the drummer for Blink-182, The Transplants, Box Car Racer, and Plus 44. Previously he played drums for The Aquabats (as Baron Von Tito), The Vandals, and the Suicide Machines. He began playing drum since High school. Barker's major musical influences include Latin, jazz, and hip-hop.
Barker owns an accessory/apparel company called Famous Stars And Straps, and a record company LaSalle Records, to which The Transplants are signed. Recently, he has performed on records by The Black Eyed Peas and Nelly to name a few 
Explaining his large number of tattoos, Barker explained "I tattooed my body so I couldn't fall back on anything. I purposely did that so I couldn't get a normal job,".
