Drummers don't have the same fame as a lead vocalist or guitarist, but because they set the pace, their contribution can be the difference between any of the best bands. Wealth and talent aren't always correlated (keen-eyed fans of music will be able to see the obvious absence of famous drummers like Ginger Baker and John Bonham on our list) however, sometimes the two intersect... like they frequently do in our list of 20 top drummers of all time.First up we have Travis Barker, a musician and reality TV personality who gained notoriety as the drummer of the pop-punk band Blink 182. He has also collaborated with many hip hop artists, formed the rock bands +44 and Box Car Race, and played together with Antemasque, Goldfinger, and the Rap-rock group Transplants. Barker has also entered into various other ventures over the past few time. He was the founder of the Famous Stars and Straps clothing company, and also published his memoir Can I Say: Living Large and playing with death. According to the most recent estimates, Barker is believed to be worth in the region of $45 million.
