Two months after surviving a horrific plane crash, Travis Barker says he is doing much better.

"Thanks for all the support. I feel better every day," he said on Sunday's TRL finale in his first televised interview since the accident.

"I'm already playing my drums again, and I'm already back in the studio," he went on.

Getting behind the drum set again "was like riding a bike," Barker told Damien Fahey. "It was really exciting to know I still have my chops. It still felt good. I still can make it around the kit. Everything felt right, so I'm thankful to be able to play."

Check out TRL's most unforgettable moments.

Barker's +44 bandmate (and former Blink-182 partner) Mark Hoppus told MTV News that he expects Barker to fully recover and return to music soon.

"He can't not drum, you know? The man was born to sit behind a drum kit and do his thing," Hoppus joked. "He's healing incredibly well. He's healing very quickly. The doctors are saying that his body is really healing in a positive way. ... No matter what I work on, Travis will be part of, for sure."
