DJ, drummer make good mix at LAX

What do you get when you put one of the world's best DJs and one of the world's best drummers together in one nightclub?

An absolute musical treat would be the best way to describe it.

Partygoers got that last Friday when drummer Travis Barker -- once part of the Blink 182 -- and DJ AM delivered a raucous performance at LAX inside the Luxor.

The pair teamed up on such songs as "Crank That" by Soulja Boy Tell'em as the crowd danced and partied along with them.

Also at LAX for the special performance were Barker's wife, Shanna Moakler, illuisionist Criss Angel and actress Rachel Taylor, one of the stars of "Transformers."

Barker was back in town Tuesday to celebrate his 32nd birthday at Pure inside Caesars Palace.
