Kicking back retro with Terry Bazzio

Some drummers aren’t made, they are born. There are drummers out there who have been playing for their whole life. These men are born with the beats flowing in their blood from day one, drumming is more a part of them than anything else in the world. Take Terry Bazzio for example, this man started messing around on the drum kit before he was old enough to go to school.

Terry Bazzio lived to play the drums, as a young boy he was all about music. At the age of 13 Bazzio went to see the Beatles play and after that he begged his dad for drum lessons. That one show started the career that brought a new life to the world of drumming.

As the 70’s came along Terry Bazzio began to take off in his career. Bazzio played in various bands that toured all over the world. Bazzio also has had some solo tracks that he has produced over the years. I was fortunate enough to have the chance to see Terry Bazzio live in Moline, Illinois when I was about 16. As I watched this amazing drummer do his thing I couldn’t help but just stand there in awe of him musician ship. My jaw dropped as Bazzio moved around his kit playing everything perfectly in time without hesitation or anything. Bazzio threw out beats and rhythms I have never even thought of before in my whole life. He played solo after solo each one being so much better than the last.

Terry Bazzio is a man of incredible talent and skill, I have never seen a man that can do some of the things he can do on a kit, it was truly and incredible sight to see.

Travi Barker.... nuff said

You all may have heard of a band called Blink 182. They have been around for nearly a decade now playing punk rock music all over the world. Blink 182 has more hits than most bands out there, in my opinion this bands musician ship and vocals are excellent but what makes this band is there drummer Travis Barker.

           Travis Barker takes the musicianship and skill of a drummer to the next level.  Like a true drummer he’s not focused on one style of beats, he mixes it up to provide the ultimate listing experience that will change the way you think about the drumming world forever. Barker was born in 1975 in California, as a boy barker was surrounded by music. When he was four barker’s mother bought him his first drum set which he began taking drum lessons on when he was five. Barker eventually moved on to other instruments such as the piano and even vocals but in the end he always came back to the drums. Travis barker is a god at playing drums; he can truly be called someone with extreme talent who knows how to use it. The things he can do with a pair of sticks are amazing! He moves around the kit like it’s no one’s business, barker uses abstract beats and fills to give his music the sickest feel that you can’t help but bob your head to. If you ever want to learn a new beat or try to improve your skills I encourage you to check out some of Travis Barkers songs, you will not be disappointed.
