I've seen most of my favorite bands already but nothing ever compares to the Drums. I've seen them twice, and by far, the second time around was the best. They have the best quality sound for a live show (let's be honest, some bands sound like shit live) and each member are just amazing to watch as they play. You can really tell they're enjoying themselves which makes you very happy for them. Johnny is an amazing lead for the band and seeing him dance just gets you into that mood of dancing yourself--even if it's a bit ridiculous. They played two of my favorite songs, "Submarine" and "I felt Stupid", which definitely had me in tears. They're just beyond amazing and so far the best concert I've been to. Can't wait for them to come back around the NY/NJ area.

The Drums will always be a favorite band of mine. I really enjoyed the show. The only thing that really stood out was that the vocalist was very intoxicated. I thought he was going to fall off stage at one point. The fact that the singer was so intoxicated caused the guitarist to clearly be agitated. He turned his back on the audience for the majority of the show.

It was a sold-out crowd, The Drums were in top form, and the entire venue was dancing-- and this was on a MONDAY night. I would definitely recommend seeing the band live. Videos posted online don't do them justice. Also, Bowery Ballroom provided a great atmosphere as a nice cherry on top!

The Drums were great live; a lot of really obnoxious people who were single-song fans though. Jonny's dancing was rad, and the setlist was a really good selection.

The show was a great dancing party! I felt the show was too short. Though, majority of the show was from the second album Portamento with a few songs from their first album. The boys did come back out for two additional songs that ended the show. It was fun, great energy. The venue was perfect for The Drums.

The Drums were wonderful Thursday night at Music Hall of Williamsburg. High energy, great stage presence. Patrick Cleandenim and Regal Deagal were also quite good.

After an intense and efficient opening act by Surfer Blood (whose gig is by far much better than the album, as their songs gain a lot of power when performed on stage), The Drums got onto the stage for a set full of classics. Let me to explain that: their are catchy, simple, and you have the impression they just play hits all the time. Their choruses stuck in your memory, and despite that "I've heard this before" impression, they play with passion, and it's just impossible not having fun with their show. I believe I've seen one of the best new bands of the year. I hope their next albuns keep bringing us some other bunches of classic tunes for us to keep whistling along.

I haven't been excited about a new band in years. Along comes The Drums and reminds me of how great a Pop band can be. There's something familiar & fresh about their sound. It's a touch of the past with a future sound. This was my first Drums concert & they did not disappoint. I love their youthful energy. The songs sound amazing live. I had a blast & the audience did too. A great night at Webster Hall!!

Surfer Blood live was absolutely amazing! My friends and i were dancing all night non stop. Pretty much the only ones dancing. They even played again after the show was over---awesome! First time I saw a band twice in the same day! The Drums were great too, so charismatic definitely got the crowd going finally. The opening acts were awesome, i'm listening to The Dewars now. All of these bands were GREAT live, i've been to alot of shows and have been let down, i sure wasnt here

It's shocking that The Drums aren't as famous in the USA as they are abroad. The danceable tunes they achingly delivered me one of the highlights of the year for me. The boys can dance and make you wanna go surfin'

Okay, before I start, I would only recommend to a friend because I LOVE the drums. But honestly it was annoying that the show claimed to start at 8 and the band came out at 10:06. I've been to shows before and I've never experienced such a long wait. The opening band came out at 9 so it's not like they performed for two hours either. Personally I thought that was rude especially since it was on a Sunday and my ride expected it to be over at 10. I only got to watch them for five minutes. However, I really liked the venue.

it was a really cool show; very crowded! a little rowdy in the back, near the bar. they played several songs off of the new album that were not yet available on itunes. at any rate, a really good set. the sound was good & loud!

I love The Drums and was really excited about seeing them live for the first time and Bowery Ballroom is my favorite venue in the city. Unfortunately, it was nothing I was expecting. They sounded awful live. I left after two songs. I even posted a video of the "noise" on my instagram and warned my friends never to see them live.

I know it's a cliche however it was one of the most amazing concerts I've been too! From Part Time to Craft Spells to The Drums it was awesome! It was a great environment, and nothing but good vibes all night! Part Time sounded unbelievable live, and Justin with the Craft Spells killed it! The Drums set list was unreal! It was a perfect mix of Portamento and the Self Titled Album. The way each band interacted with the crowed made for a great concert. Even if the tickets were $50 each I would still attend. The Hard Rock needs to bring back The Drums, and guests in concert in the future. Also being able to interact with the band after the concert was epic! I received the most awesome Bob Dillon dollar drawing and signature from Justin of the Craft Spells! Overall, it will be a night that I never forget.

I traveled from Los Angeles to Las Vegas just to see this show. I even missed MOther's Day, oops. Haha. When I stepped into this venue I was so amazed. There were many locations to stand and look at the bands play. I loved how close the stage was. Best time I had in a long time. The Show was Great and so was this Venue.

The Drums were absolutely great - couldnt have asked for a better show. they were everything my friends and expected, being big fans we were not let down. even one of my friends who had never heard of them enjoyed herself. they sounded great, were totally sweet and up beat and Johnny's dance moves stole the show. I will definitely be attending their next show in the area

The Drums were wonderful, energetic and intense, as they always are. Great sets - highly recommended. Craft Spells were good. Nice set overall. Part Time was also quite good - much better than I'd expected - solid sound. Webster Hall still doesn't let you up on the second floor, which sucks, but the sightlines from the main floor are decent from most spots. What's the point of having wifi at Webster Hall if you need a password to access it?

I have been waiting.to see the Drums for.such a long time and finally I got.to see them last Sunday. They were AMAZING!! I love Jhonny's dance moves. The two bands were great, but I like Craft Spell. They were as well Amazing. The only thing was the audio sound. We couldn't hear what they were singing. Overall, The 3 bands are worth to see.

I didn't know the other two bands that played (part-time, Craft Spells) but they were good. I think everyone was looking forward to The main event though. It was awesome I was right by the stage. The singer was funny as always and we all were dancing, he played a few songs from his old album and some new songs (money!) from their new album Portamento. After they played thought the whole set list they thanked everyone and said how happy they were to be in new York again and they left. Everyone starting chanting "Encore! Let's. Go. Sur-fing!!" They came back out and played 3 more songs! There the best :D
