Travis Barker Jams With 9-Year-Old Blind Drummer at Lemonade Stand
Travis Barker made a young boy's day when he surprised him at his lemonade stand and invited the 9-year-old blind drummer to a jam session.
Barker, who is the drummer of the rock band Blink-182, found out about the aspiring musician named Grayson Roberts after influencer Charlie Rocket helped Roberts grow the little lemonade stand outside his house into a thriving business, even gifting Roberts his own event at the Dream Factory space in Los Angeles, California.
Grayson's pop-up lemonade stand was clearly successful, enticing Barker to take a break from filming a music video and make an unexpected visit. While there, he offered Roberts the "Surprise of a lifetime ??" along with a few gifts, including a pair of drumsticks.

In a now-viral video shared by Rocket, Barker walks up to the stand and asks the little boy, "What's up, Grayson?" After exchanging hellos, Barker gives the child a set of drumsticks and says, "I saw a video of you playing drums and singing."
Roberts giggles before asking Barker, "Do you think we can play drums and sing together?" The Blink-182 member replies, "I would love to."
With the young boy on the mic and Barker playing the drums, the two put on an outstanding performance in front of a big crowd, and afterward, everyone started chanting, "Grayson!"
Fans on TikTok were in awe of Roberts and shared appreciation for Barker's generosity and kindness.
One wrote to the 9-year-old, "Grayson your such an inspiration to blind people around the world????????," and he replied, "We are ALLLL LIMITLESS! ????????."
