The Drums - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@dannytaurus5783]

I’m 52 . The first band I saw in London aged 14 was Echo and The Bunnymen, the second The Cure, the third New Order. Came across The Drums on a Spotify playlist and found a band who is taking what those bands started nearly 40 years ago to a new melodic level. Just superb.

[@wesleyAlan9179]

I just found these guys, and o agree with you

[@lrsss180]

@@emilianoestrada3077 no, there is something very unique about the drums

[@sayro5298]

51 and agreeing absolutely.

[@lrsss180]

@@sayro5298 I love that about the drums. their fans are all ages, I’m 14 and I’m obsessed

[@arcticablue]

:)

[@jrh4248]

Is scary how good they sound live.

[@sunburnfm]

The basics. Example: Brian Wilson recorded The Beach Boys in mono and nearly every one of their tunes is eternal. And it's very much like the sound of The Drums.

[@lilSnubby]

These live performances really separate the genuine talents from everyone else - this band is fantastic

[@dennylim1779]

good talent and good sound mixing. props to the sound engineer that is working it back there!

[@carloslopez7204]

Does this comment have a good or bad connotation?

[@trlongwell]

@@carloslopez7204 A good one.

[@Louis-zp8bt]

The transition of pitches and tones from his casual way of speaking to his singing is amazing. You can really tell the amount of passion and energy he puts into it.

[@imtheinformation]

yes !!! Reminds me of Morrissey to some extent... (I mean this in a very good way)

[@Louis-zp8bt]

Exactly! And maybe even the Smiths a little.

[@theoneandonlyownage]

Louie Castillo Morrisey was the lead singer of The Smiths...

[@Louis-zp8bt]

Well this is embarrassing

[@theoneandonlyownage]

Louie Castillo haha ;)

Haha! I have the same problem

That's why I don't study!

[@TheCriticals]

Man, the guitar tone on these songs is unbelievable. So full and rich sounding

[@mattymc6802]

Can't believe I've been listening to the drums for so long. Still one of my favourites

[@stewartlawrence5610]

The Drum's bass lines are consistently groovy. Easily in my top 5 favorite bands.

[@chrisk7082]

Great live performance. KEXP have introduced me to so many awesome bands. Great sound engineering. Never heard of the Drums before seeing this. Great band!!

[@evertonfc19]

This is why KZbin is lethal. I'm from belfast and I should never have heard this but I'm buzzing right now .... Amazing

[@leafaralvarez2483]

The bassist is a monster playing and singing in "money"

[@conniekoo]

2020 and still listening to this.

[@juancitolimon8743]

[@Griffmeharder]

[@Scarletwebb]

2021 and still vibing to this..

[@simmaeaefibes4890]

if you turn your delay pedal to max delay, max feedback/repeat but turn the time to a really low setting (but not too low), you get an exotic type of reverb. I'm not sure that this is what is happening here but its fun to play with. It has a very alien type of vibe to it and i recommend it.

[@1thess523]

when i hear the Drums it brings me back to my childhood (late 70's & 80's), they have a surf,oldies,new wave feel to them

[@samramone]

Las ganas de bailar son inevitables.

[@moonlight-io2zb]

I've been ''into'' The Drums for about 1 year, and oh my goddess I LOVE THEM SO MUCH, their vibe is so freakin' amazing. The 'thing' that The Drums makes me feel is so incredible and nothing made me feel this way before. I don't why I'm saying this but I kinda needed

[@Karlasheryniele]

My goodness.The singer is so fucking phenomenal. He is so passionate about singing, and the way he smiles and closes his eyes omg i fell in love with him and the whole band in general ♥♥

[@FakeFriendsForever]

I accidentally found them on KZbin two Summers ago. I'm glad I made that mistake.

[@hmmmidunno]

When I saw them live, I couldn't take my eyes off him.

[@ThatKidTheyCallCoop]

What. Great indie pop act The Drums are!!

[@lillyanrodriguez7562]

For me, this is the best The Drum's performance in Kexp.

[@xw7419]

They sound like a contemporary, more upbeat The Smiths

[@SlowlyMovingOn]

This live version of What you were is way better then the studio version.

[@albertoregaldo1952]

Mostly every bands live performance is much better. I would like to see the Drums someday live.

[@Be_the_Void]

Alberto Regaldo Definitely wouldn't say most. The best, though.

[@samramone]

It could be for the audio quality because I saw them live in my city and they are awesome definitely but the audio quality was no good.

[@jetonbalidemaj]

Yeah its sped up live and i agree it sounds way better

[@IndianaHeavyMetal]

11 years later and im still thankful for this performance.. Thanks KEXP!! from indiana

[@jetdavid9851]

I agree, americans that sounds like thesmiths n joy division combined..perfect...pls visit manila..we all love to see you n hear u live..tnx

The tempo of Money is so fast compared to the studio version
