Drummer of the Week: John Stamos

I used to watch Full House all the time when I was a kid. My favorite character was always Uncle Jesse -- he was hilarious and he was a musician. It's kind of creepy now watching old episodes when the Olsen Twins were babies since I'm the same age as them. Whenever he said "Capiche?" I wanted to blurt out "CAPICHE!" just like they did.

Stamos is proficient in guitar, keyboards, and an excellent vocalist, all of which were seen on Full House. But my favorite episodes were of him playing drums. I still remember when the Beach Boys were on Full House singing "Kokomo"; it was one of my favorite episodes ever.

John Stamos played drums in the "Kokomo" music video. He's also toured with the Beach Boys during the summer on and off for several years, mostly playing percussion.

Check out this video of John Stamos playing with the Beach Boys on Dancing with the Stars.



Here's a video of him doing a drum solo during a Beach Boys show:
