Watch Travis Barker's flying solo from a drummer's-eye view
Pop punk kings Blink 182 have, by all accounts, been storming the US with their first tour in years since the band split back in 2005. They have been pulling out all the stops on this tour with a killer light show, amazing visuals... and a flying drum solo from Travis Barker!
Crowd-filmed videos have been appearing all over YouTube, but today we got hold of a video taken from a camera mounted on Travis' riser. Now you can get more of an idea what it's like for Travis up there!
The tattooed punkster also indicated to Rhythm on Twitter that the Blink tour would hit European shores at some point next year!
Watch the video below, plus vids of Joey Jordison, Tommy Lee and Buddy Rich all pulling off insane drum stunts!
