Entertainment WeeklyMar 18, 2011The blink-182 skinsman's rap-metal solo debut impressively showcases his ferocious drumming--and the talents of his many guests. [25 Mar 2011, p.79]

Mar 22, 2011There are a few missteps (some songs that didn't quite click, a few beats that aren't quite up to par) and this album might not make too many year-end lists. But it's an album made with passion, spirit and a hunger to impress--something that's been missing in much of this corporate rap era.

Mar 18, 2011Give the Drummer Some finally officially opens the door for Barker to enter to world of Hip Hop he's always said he wanted to walk through.

Aug 4, 2011Whatever, the point is that instead of snare hits and cymbal crashes Barker's real contribution came from behind the boards--he's got a production credit on every one of the album's tracks. By the same token he's often paired with other producers, and when it works, like on the RZA influenced Carry It, it really works. Unfortunately, when it doesn't work, it really doesn't.

Mar 15, 2011As a showcase for Barker's production and drumming skills, Give the Drummer Some definitely gets the point across, proving that there's room for more than just Phil Collins and Dave Grohl in the world of drummers successfully going solo.
-
Kerrang!Apr 4, 2011Where it fails as a cohesive piece of art is the lack of continuity, save for Travis' own considerable drumming. [26 Mar 2011, p.51]
-
Apr 19, 2011A whole album of subtly punk drummer-laced singles, compiled for his posterity, and lacking a hefty amount of rhyme skills or dramatic effect.
