Scott William Raynor, Jr. (born May 23, 1978) is an American musician, best known as the former drummer of rock band Blink-182. Born in Poway, California, Raynor first approached the drums in his preteens as a fan of Metallica. He joined Blink-182 at a very young age and continued with the band; by the time he was 19, the group had accumulated a large fan base and a gold record, Dude Ranch. His alcohol abuse caused tension in the trio and eventually led to his firing from the band midway through a 1998 tour.Since his departure from the group, Raynor has performed with a wide variety of groups and contributed to the charity StandUp for Kids.
It's hard to describe six years of being in blink [Blink 182] and why it ended for me in a summed up kind of way. It also is impossible to describe without getting personal on both sides. The best way for me to put it is that everything got kind of haywire in my personal life, and in the band, and with Mark [Mark Hoppus) and Tom [Thomas DeLonge. They wanted different things than me and at the same time our friendship was put to the test.

I like the drums better [than guitar] because you can't really beat up a guitar like you can the drums .
