So cool to hear the isolated drums from Never Meant

Drummers are the nicest people ever. That man is such a legend. I love how they are putting a spotlight on drummers.

Woah, I never knew he drummed traditional style. That’s awesome

I was born in 98 and what he said about listening to the stuff from when you were born is so true

It was cool for him to mention "kids who were born the year it came out" cause I was born literally one day before LP1 was released

this drum part looks really intricate and hard to remember

when you write a song with your buddies, you memorize it gradually, creating piece by piece. in the end, you'll remember it until the day you die, that's how deep it'll be in your brain.

Going back to this video is so sad, thanks for everything Steve ❤️

For real. He gets a great sound even with his snare so low. I don’t know how he does it.

Real Friends got me into American Football with their song "Home For The Fall". It was about 2016 and because I love that band I was interested to find out who this American Football group was. I found their debut album online and have been a fan on their music ever since!

I remember hearing that song and thinking they were referring to listening to football games on the radio or something lol.

Such an amazing story- its like life happened for 16 years while they were sitting on this slice of genius

Should have explored the Math Rock aspect of the band. That takes drumming to a whole new level!

A drummer for the ages. I can't believe Steve has left American Football. The band losses their engine.

Such an innovative modern drummer.

Got to see their album release show for their second album back in Chicago at the Vic Theater in 2016. I was born in the early 90s, not the late 90s, but I had to stumble upon American Football just the same, as it's not like this was what my older sisters where listening to in high school. Had to pay like $80 for parking because it was when the Cubs were in the World Series, and the nasty security guard made me pick between buying merch and meeting Steve Lamos. I chose the latter, and he's such an incredibly warm, genuine human being. It's to this day one of the best concerts I've ever been to, and it was a totally random blessing considering I live across the country but was working in Southeast Iowa for a couple months at the time.

saw this on Facebook, love the idea, and i love american football. Thanks for this!

awesome! just watching this video 5 years later and still lovin it

This is really cool. Love American Football, beautiful.

this makes me so happy what the heck, literally my favourite band. ever.

1999 is the year I was born and I definitely have been inspired by the album American Football and especially Steve's drumming on it and the EP. Thank you Steve!!

Just heard the song and got amazed by the drums. Looked for his name and ended up watching this. I'm a drummer myself and I hope I can get to play like these guys if I keep it up.

This is the coolest. Thanks.

Big Happy Smile! Thanks x

This is damn good! So cool to see stuff like this on youtube!

this is so badass

man its so iconic n recognisable 😂

Awesome , such an iconic album , i grew up in Norway and this album has stuck with me since i was like 13 years old in 97/98 or whatever .... if u want a tip on an equally iconic band from Norway that might not be easy to come by in the U.S its the band Beezewax 's two first albums , "a dozen summits" and "south of boredom" , pretty sure they listened to american football aswell , so now you know

Steve is a master drummer, there’s no doubt about that, but it just doesn’t sit right with me that he the only other drum he has besides the snare and kick is a lone floor tom.

It's not American Football, it's Americ Anfootball

Did he flick us off and disguise it as a nose pick?
