John Stamos Drums Along to Papa Roach’s ‘Last Resort’ While Hearing It For The First Time Ever — Watch!

John Stamos took on a musical challenge that surprised many fans when he drummed along to Papa Roach’s ‘Last Resort’ for the first time. The beloved actor from Full House participated in the YouTube channel Drumeo’s “For The First Time” series, where host Brandon Toews visited Stamos at his home with a drum kit ready to go. Despite his extensive experience in drumming and performances with iconic musicians like The Beach Boys, B.B. King, and Bruce Springsteen, Stamos had never heard the 2003 hit song by Papa Roach before this challenge.

In the video released on Friday, April 25, Stamos, who is 61 years old, tackled the drums on ‘Last Resort’ without any prior exposure to the song. The challenge involved Toews playing the track for Stamos without the drum part, allowing the actor to improvise and figure out the beats on his own. Stamos, accompanied by his wife Caitlin McHugh and son Billy, initially struggled to grasp the heavy metal vibe of the song. However, with each take, his understanding and performance improved, showcasing his adaptability and skill as a drummer.

After several attempts, covered in sweat from the intense drumming session, Stamos finally heard the original version of ‘Last Resort’ with the drum parts included. To his surprise, he discovered that David Buckner of Papa Roach was the actual drummer behind the track. Despite the challenging nature of the song, Stamos showed resilience and good humour throughout the video, joking about his survival through the experience.

Fans couldn’t contain their excitement as they watched Stamos take on the unexpected challenge. Comments flooded in on YouTube, with one fan expressing disbelief at witnessing Stamos drumming to Papa Roach. Others marvelled at Stamos’ talent and charm, highlighting his versatility as a musician and performer. Stamos’ previous drumming experience with The Beach Boys, where he performed alongside his son Billy, further showcased his passion for music and his ability to connect with different genres and artists.

This recent musical challenge is not the first time that Stamos has displayed his drumming skills publicly. In July 2024, he and his son Billy joined The Beach Boys onstage during their Endless Summer Gold Tour stop in Michigan, where they delighted the audience with their rhythmic performance. Stamos has continually demonstrated his love for music and his willingness to explore new challenges and collaborations within the industry.

As Stamos continues to surprise and impress fans with his musical endeavours, it’s clear that his talents extend far beyond just acting. His recent drumming feat with Papa Roach’s ‘Last Resort’ serves as a testament to his dedication, skill, and ability to rise to new challenges with enthusiasm and flair. With his infectious energy and passion for music, Stamos remains a beloved figure in both the entertainment and music industry, captivating audiences of all ages with his charisma and talent.
