Travis Barker Drum Solo on Rotating Riser
Over the years, there has been one unwavering staple at all of blink 182′s shows, and that is a Travis Barker drum solo. For some time now, he has been incorporating a rotating riser that, during his solo, lifts him completely off the stage and rotates him 360 degrees multiple times. His solo has definitely evolved over time, but the setup remains the same. Below is an old video from before Blink went on their recent hiatus. This gives you a really good idea of what the rotating riser does, and how Travis handles it. He also talks about his relationship with OCDP (Orange County Drum and Percussion), whom he has been endorsing for many years.

Below is a more recent solo from Blink’s latest tour where they were accompanied by a few different acts along the way including Weezer, Asher Roth, Fall Out Boy, Taking Back Sunday, Panic at the Disco, The All American Rejects, and Chester French. This gives you a good idea of what the rotating riser looks like from an audience perspective.
