Scott William Raynor, Jr. (born May 23, 1978) is an American drummer best known as the former drummer of the band Blink-182.
Raynor first started drumming when he joined a band with some friends because, according to him, they had taken all the "good instruments" before Raynor could choose. Raynor cites Fugazi and Metallica as his favorite bands.
Hoppus and DeLonge fired Raynor in the middle of a 1998 tour, citing his alcohol abuse. He was replaced by Travis Barker.
I was contacted over the phone and asked to quit drinking. I asked for the weekend to think about it, I came back and agreed. They said, "too bad," and I don't really know why.

In a 2004 interview Raynor stated he had played guitar for the band Death On Wednesday for a while but had since left and was now playing drums for a band called One Track Mind, as well as volunteering to teach music classes to homeless and street youth with the non-profit organization StandUp For Kids.
