Travis Barker spent time playing the drums while his wife Kourtney Kardashian was in the hospital giving birth to their child, and his actions have drawn backlash. TV Shows Ace reported that the Blink-182 drummer shared a clip of himself playing on a drum pad while in a hospital room. "Practicing to my babies heartbeat," he captioned the TikTok clip.

The reactions to Barker's drumming have been mixed, to say the least. "He had to BRING that to the doctor's office," one person offered. Someone esle added, "All the second graders in my class do that too. But they do it to their own heartbeat, I guess." Another user offered, "My dad is a drummer and this is so real. drummers will drum anywhere fr." Scroll down to see what other social media users are saying and read more about the new parents.

"Unimpressed"

Kardashian continued, "As someone who has had three really easy pregnancies in the past, I wasn't prepared for the fear of rushing into urgent fetal surgery. I don't think anyone who hasn't been through a similar situation can begin to understand that feeling of fear. I have a whole new understanding and respect for the mamas who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant."
