Travis Barker was really feeling the holiday spirit this year. For Christmas, he gifted fans a percussive cover of "Little Drummer Boy." Teaming up with Ralph Nader of the Brooklyn-based BYOS drum collective, the blink-182 star showed off his stick twirling skills as the two drummed their way through the holiday classic in synchronized style.
The duo also performed together last year, pounding out a cover of "Sugar Plum Fairies" that they aptly titled "Sugar Drum Fairies."

The cover isn't Barker's only new contribution to the Christmas canon. Earlier this month Goldfinger released their Christmas EP, with Barker laying down the drums. The four-song collection comprises punk renditions of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" that clock in at under two minutes; a frenetic cover of "12 Days of Christmas," and a laid back ska version of "White Christmas."
In December, the famed percussionist and tattoo aficionado also announced the lineup for his 12th annual Musink festival in Orange County, California. It was a busy month, and year, for Barker, but what else is new? We can't wait to see what else he has in store for 2019.
