Travis Barker +44 One Arm Rehearsal

Travis Barker is shown in the video below rehearsing with one arm. News broke at the beginning of October that Barker’s arm was broken, possibly due to Osteoporosis brought on by a vegetarian diet, or at least a lack of calcium in his diet.

On December 31, 1984, Rick Allen, of the band Def Leppard, lost his left arm in a car crash on the A57 in the hills outside Sheffield when his speeding Corvette left the road on a sharp bend, and went through a dry stone wall. Despite the severity of the accident, Rick was committed to continuing his role as Def Leppard’s drummer. He practiced drumming with pillows, and realized that he could use his legs to do some of the percussive work previously done with his arms. He then worked with Simmons to design a custom electronic drum kit. Allen continued his career without missing a beat.

If Allen can do it, so can Barker.
