Famed drummer and producer Travis Barker founded Barker Wellness, his own vegan wellness company combining the effects of broad spectrum CBD, cannabichromene (CBC), cannabigerol (CBG), and other ingredients.
Often drummers aren’t the star of the band, unless you’re Barker: Rolling Stone named Barker one of the “Greatest Drummers of All Time,” including his roles with The Aquabats and more importantly as one-third of Blink-182. While former Blink-182 alumni Tom DeLonge shifted to filmmaking and the unexplained, vocalist Mark Hoppus recently announced he’s cancer-free and is back in the studio.
Twenty years ago, Barker joined supergroup the Transplants with Tim “Lint” Armstrong (Rancid and Operation Ivy), rapper Rob Aston, Kevin Bimona (Interrupters), and others.

Today he lives with his wife Kourtney Kardashian and children.
