Grandma covers blink-182’s What’s My Age Again?, challenges Travis Barker to drum battle

Having previously covered the likes of Disturbed, Slipknot and Paramore (and even gotten a shoutout from Hayley Williams), awesome drumming grandma – who goes by the nickname The Godmother Of Drumming – Dorothea Taylor is back with a new cover.

This time around Dorothea tackles blink-182's What’s My Age Again?, not only nailing Travis Barker's iconic drum parts but also then challenging him to a battle at the end. After the note-perfect rendition, she explains that she likes this pop-punk classic because of Travis' use of drum rudiments (flams, five stroke rolls, pataflaflas), and how it's possible to incorporate them into "punk rock drumming".

"You're never too old, and you're never too young, to start playing drums," Dorothea continues in the video. "You probably never would have expected someone like me to play along to blink. I've learned my rudiments over the years and was able to incorporate and understand what Travis was playing.

"So, Travis Barker, are you watching? How about a drum battle?!"
