Give the Drummer Some by Travis Barker

Give the Drummer Some is the first solo record by blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. The album debuted at #9 on the US Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 28,000 copies in the United States. The album title itself is a reference to a track by the Ultramagnetic MC's of the same name, which in turn derives from James Brown's "Funky Drummer." It was first announced by Barker himself that the album would be of "no one genre," indicating that the album wouldn't be based on hip hop or punk rock, unlike his previous remixes and collaborations. However, most of the tracks are hip-hop and R'n'B influenced, though for instance 'Misfits' has a techno/dance sound and 'On My Own' has a Metal groove to it. Guests that collaborated and are featured are: Slaughterhouse, Kid Cudi, Yelawolf, Snoop Dogg, The Cool Kids, RZA, Ludacris, Lil' Wayne, Rick Ross, The Game, Raekwon, Tom Morello, Slash, Steve Aoki, Busta Rhymes, Lil Jon, Cypress Hill, Twista, Paul Wall, Lupe Fiasco, Swizz Beatz, Bun B and Tech N9ne. ℗ 2011 Interscope Records
