'She jams! Watch out for her,' Barker tweets.

Rihanna's European tour doesn't kick off until next month (with a full U.S. jaunt scheduled for the summer), but from the looks of things it's already shaping up to be a can't-miss show.
That's because, in addition to the usual ephemera — Lights! Props! Costumes! — Rih Rih is also expanding her repertoire for the tour by learning how to play the drums. And she's taking lessons from one of the best in the business: noted metronome/masher Travis Barker.
Late Tuesday, Barker's reps sent MTV News a photo of the dynamic duo after a recent practice at the Hollywood Center Studios and the Blink-182 smasher included a note that promised that not only will Rihanna be playing live onstage (no click track here), but that "she's really good."
He later posted even more about the rehearsals on his Twitter account, writing, "She jams! Watch out for her!"
We're inclined to believe him because at this point, Barker has collaborated with practically everyone under the sun, including his current gig with DJ A-Trak, which he unveiled earlier this month with a string of shows at the Roxy Theatre in Hollywood.
Rihanna's European tour gets under way April 16 in Antwerp, Belgium, and runs until early June. She's also set to perform at the upcoming Kids' Choice Awards, along with Justin Bieber. There are no firm dates for her U.S. tour, but it is reportedly set to kick off this summer.
