Oni if u guys know about drums then you wud say he;s the best. To me.. double paddles and loud noisy drums does not show one is the best but the strokes... creativity.. and skills that travis has can only match the drummers that was playing in the best militiary bands in the world.
He's simply the best.. nobody can ever beat him.. not even joey jordison or anyone else.. maybe those cool drummers from the militiary bands in US.
Sigh. Why does every drumming forum I go to have such topics and replies..
Simple put, Travis is neither the best, nor the worst drummer for his genre of music. He's a very gifted SESSION drummer - hell Avril got him to session for a single song on her album, and ended up hiring him for 3-4 more songs, and if i'm not mistaken he does sessions for other people as well. He's a very energetic drummer, and he has a knack for being able to make a simple blink song sound very catchy and amazing with his drumming.
But he's not the best, nor is he the most creative drummer around. True, he admitted on an interview that he had jazz and latin background when he was younger, and that he doesn't see himself a pure punk drummer of sorts, but his creativity is only so limited, and there are tons of more creative drummers out there.
He's not the worst drummer too, just very overrated.

You might want to change your statement.... or you'll get tons of youtube links showing you other drummers who WILL indeed, hand travis his ass on a silver platter.
