The beat of a drum, in my perspective, is so creative. It’s a mixture of rhythm, strength, and emotion. The intensity that drummers put in their music is very inspirational and as a drummer I enjoy drumming to just about anything. The capability to display my emotions through beats is somewhat therapeutic. As a Child, I really didn’t appreciate the art of drumming but after years of learning music I began to mimic two specific drummers, Travis Barker and ?uestlove. They exhibit such confidence and it’s noticeable in very song they perform.
?uestlove, Born Ahmir Khalib Thompson, is an American drummer, DJ, journalist, and producer. He is widely known for his role in the band “The Roots,” and also their contributions as the in-house band for the “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” show. During his 18 years in the music industry he has worked with the best of the best such as, Madonna, Jay-Z, Fiona Apple, N.E.R.D. and much more. His skills have contributed such soul to every record he is a part of and he continues to amaze his audience every time he performs.
Travis Barker is the drummer for the band “Blink 182,” he is known for his versatility as a musician. He has dabbled in many genres of music such as hip hop, pop, country, and rock. Also he has collaborated with the greats of our generation for example Eminem, Rihanna, Jay-Z and many more but he never conforms to a specific type of genre. He brings the edge to every song he appears on and they are all hits. Barker exemplifies the true meaning of a rockstar but without the ego. His abilities on the drums are endless and its always amusing to watch him perform.
