I was told once if I kept breaking things on my legs, that I wasn't going to be able to walk soon, you know? I wanted to be a pro skateboarder, but it was too hard. I was trying, but it wasn't going to happen.
From Travis Barker
I was playing with the Aquabats, and then I quit to join a band called Suicide Machine in Detroit.
I was in a band called Hooker for a while.
I was a kid, and I wasn't even sure if I wanted to play the drums, you know? All I wanted to do was skateboard, but I was still learning and taking it in, so it was good.
I used to have friends come on tour and work as my drum tech, but they get bummed out when I have to tell them what to do. This time I'm just going to fly them out and let them hang. It's all good.
I practice every day, I warm up before I play.
I play Orange County drums. I love those guys. I've got a four piece kit.
I listened a little to punk when I was younger, but it was straight edge punk. It was nothing like what is going on now, like poppy punk.
I like Steve Gadd, everything he did with Steely Dan. There's so many. I like everything.
I learned the songs and played the gigs, and then they called me about a month later. They told me they were like super stoked on me and asked me to join their band.
