Travis Barker – ‘Bored To Death’ Style Drum Beat – Drum Lesson #234

By Alex Ribchester Drum Lessons, Level 3 Drum Lessons, Thursday Drum Lessons blink 182, travis barker

Description

For this week's lesson we have got an ever so slightly varied version of the opening drum beat from the new Blink 182 track 'Bored To Death' with Travis Barker on drums. We will be playing solid 16th notes with the hands at a high tempo and so this will prove a great workout for those quick ghost notes.
