San Jose, Calif., — Travis Barker consistently keeps the media and the drumming community fascinated. Whether it’s his latest hip-hop record, Blink-182 reunions, plane crashes, or reality TV he never stays far from the public eye.
That’s why Enter Music Publishing, publishers of hip, drum/percussion magazines, worldwide and online, will celebrate “Travis Barker Week,” from April 18 to the 25th on its web site. (www.drummagazine.com) Each day, the company will feature recent and older, archived stories about Travis’ career. The editorial content will vary from video lessons from his new album, all the way back to his early days making punk drumming history with Blink-182.
Noting the importance of Travis Barker’s drumming, Andy Doerschuk, editorial director of Enter Music Publishing, said: "Probably no drummer than Travis Barker, in the past decade, is as responsible for so many kids picking up the sticks and deciding to play drums. He’s a huge influence, and with his hip-hop excursions, the influence keeps growing."
Trapping Barker’s Beat
Specifically, Enter Music Publishing will feature the following cool content during Travis Barker Week:
1. Cover story excerpts from the past ten years of DRUM!
2. Video: Learn To Play Travis Barker’s “Can The Drummer Get Some”
3. Travis Barker Picks CDs You Should Own
4. DRUM! Traps Travis Barker’s Fly Kit
Commenting further on the content, Andrew Lentz, managing editor, Enter Music Publishing, said: "Travis was the guy who really applied a rudimental marching style to punk and rock. He’s a great drummer but it’s his personal approach to the instrument that makes him unique."
The editorial discussed in this release will not be posted online until April 18th. For reasons of getting the news out, Enter Music Publishing just wanted to let those interested that.
