Travis Barker has a black fetish
I’m really beginning to think that Travis Barker has a black fetish. By that I mean, he really likes the color black.
Zildjian just released a new model of Travis’ sticks…and guess what…they’re black! This makes them totally better than the regular white ones. But won’t they just leave black marks on all of my cymbals?
Not if you like black cymbals…like Travis does. Mr. Barker recently appeared in modern drummer magazine playing Zildjian “pitch black” cymbals. I’m going to put my money on the “I bet they sound like shit” category. They remind me of a tackier looking platinum series…and those sure sucked.
Anything else? Yep. Barker recently appeared in a remo ad, promoting their new black suede model of drum heads. Do they sound good? I guess. Are they black? You betcha.
Thanks Travis for really making me take a whole new look at playing the drums…or something like that.
Sincerely,
BW.
