scott william raynor , jr. -lrb- born may 23 , 1978 -rrb- is an american musician , best known as the original drummer of the 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 14 years old 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 where travis barker replaced him .
since his departure from the group , raynor has performed with a wide variety of groups and contributed to the charity standup for kids .
