I like how he says he wants to be a finesse drummer and not a thumper. A lot of people missed out on the finesse of his dad and his feel. I think Jason has done his dad proud and become a very accomplished drummer in all styles!!!!
It’s hard to grow up in the shadow of greatness. At an early stage he liked Stewart Copeland and the Police,which was much different than his father’s style even though more often than not John Bohnam was classified as a “power” drummer rather than realizing he was just playing a large drum kit, No rock drummer back in that time played a 26” kick or really paid attention to tuning. Jason’s a good drummer but he’s not his father.
1984 my bass playing journey started with STARLICKS AND LOUIS JOHNSON on casette of course,how 80s can you get...lol...😅😅😅..and it was very educational THANKS STARLICKS!
I remember I picked up this video, when it first came out, I was very impressed....I obsessed over it, especially the feels that incorporated the hi-hat, vary hot feels!...That inspired me to memorize the booklet, I practiced for hours a day until I mastered all these licks, l can still beat them out today. Thanks Jason😎👍🇺🇸
Yeah me too. I would always recommend to young players to check all drummers!! Yes even these old videos etc. After playing 40 yeas, I too still pick up stuff from long ago albums and videos! It really is amazing! So much stuff to absorb.
This is a coincidence! last week I was cleaning out my storage room, and I found this tape, along with my drum books, and now I see it here on UA-cam!! thank you for the upload! brings back so many memories from when I started playing 25 years ago!
sorry to be so off topic but does someone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost the password. I appreciate any help you can give me
@@totigerusBeing a graduate of Culinary Arts for over 40 years I certainly hope they wash their hands. I was laughing so hard at your comment I had tears in my eyes 😅
Sorry, more off topic. Does anyone know if there’s a new X-men movie (besides Deadpool) in the works? Also I can only find 8 of the 11 herbs and spices in KFC. Thanks and so off topically sorry.
Jason is a huge huge inspiration to me for my drumming! I’ve been a huge fan of Jason for many years( ever since I was kid) his father John, to me is the greatest rock drummer of all time! Jason is up there with his dad, lots of similarities in both their playing! Thank u Jason for being a huge inspiration! 🤘🏻😁
not as quik as my dads right foot! working on it', funky! fun',! carmine appice has said', john copied' his triplet feel', on the bass drum.both great! i saw jason in 07 with ufo tight and didnt show off' cool drummer thanks and peace
Smaller drums, at least to me, seem unfairly maligned. My old kit was a Pearl Forum kit and the rack toms were huge, deep, 12-13” toms. My new DW kit has 10-12” toms which are shallower. In my opinion, the smaller toms seem to be way easier to tune than the bigger ones. And I have a problem finding the perfect tuning for my 13” tom. So yeah, I’m gonna stick with the smaller toms. The floor toms are the same width at 16”, but my DW one is 14” deep. And yet, I think I can get a better sound out of it.
Did you do the same play with led Zeppelin you may have seen him play with the members of led Zeppelin but John Bonham was the drummer for led Zeppelin
La sombra de su padre siempre lo va a acechar. Pero creo que sus trabajos con la banda Bonham en los 80's y sobre todo sus álbumes con Black Country Communion, son su mejor carta de presentación.
it's hard to grow accustomed to the skill & accuracy of hard-working, talented, drummers (past and present) like Vinnie Colaiuta, Buddy Rich, Joe Morello, Jeff Porcaro, Simon Phillips, Weckl--and 100 other Weckl-wanabees who also play amazing, spectacular, accurate, and musical--and then listen to entertainers like this carry on about musicianship... i'm sorry, but come on dude. his timing (not the rhythms and offbeats, which are fine) is all over the place. his spacing is inconsistent, his hits are often rushed, then lagged coming back to the groove...
I think you’re misinterpreting what he’s saying, and Jason wasn’t very clear anyway What I believe he was saying was how Phil, who is an amazing drummer, has utilised effects as a way of enhancing his fills. And here’s an example of a simple fill and how clever use of effects turns it into something memorable and ear-catching! Of a 2014 meeting Jason said “We got together for three weeks and I had an amazing time,” the song of Led Zep’s late John Bonham tells Billboard. “It was an honor to be chosen by one of my real heroes. Other than my dad I would say Phil is probably my No. 2 guy to go to. I”ve been a huge fan since Abacab, and then of course his solo stuff. It was like playing in front of my dad - another moment that felt like you’re playing in front of your dad in the weirdest kind of way. You’re playing in front of your heroes. My wife just kept telling me, ‘Don’t keep looking for approval. He’s hired you. He knows what you can do. Just give him your best.’ I had such a good time with it.”
@@tombstoneharrystudios584I beg your pardon, I actually was in the middle of writing a riposte when I decided to listen back another few times. I agree, you are correct, I initially thought he said "even though he isn't the most talented drummer" but I actually think he says "is" on reflection. In which case, he is out of the woods! :D
I’ve always thought Jason was a half decent rock drummer, but he’s really not world class in my humble opinion. He’s very wealthy and has had a very fortunate career, so I’m sure he couldn’t care less, but I’ve heard he’s often late to turn up to rehearsals and gigs and has a bit of a rock star attitude. His fills are a bit cliched and his feel never sits right for my ear. Good luck to him, but he’s successful off the back of his surname, not his talent. *edit if you don’t believe me, have a listen to the fill at 10:36 and count along. He fluffs it right up. To be doing a big budget clinic video like this, you need to be nailing things. Like Simon Phillips or similar would do.
Very well stated. It's safe to say there are many drummers(amateur to professional) with Jason's skill set or more, yet will never have the oppurtunity at 1/10 of the $success and recognition of Jason. Without question the last name is what propelled him there. His old man on the other hand was a one off and earned everything he accomplished from being one of the greatest.
@@DG-sf9ei absolutely agree dude. Having been the drummer in a led zep tribute band when I was younger, I can say first hand that the mighty JB is a tough act to imitate. It’s all about the feel. 👍🏻
He actually said that Phil Collins ISN'T one of the most talented drummers? Different genre sonny boy, but not talented? He's as good as your old man...
Ithink he said even a simple fill like in the air tonight by phil collins who is a most talented drummer . Any drummer knows phil collins was lowkey bad ass back in the day
Neal isn't narcissistic, he would've pulverized Jason on drums. A narcissist isn't someone who made their own name collaborating with other musicians as Neal. A narcissist is more like an entitled self-centered kid who can't make his own and rides the coattails of someone else. ....Jason Bonham.
I say to all the haters on here …. Whether you like Jason or not…. Who’s getting the gig???? And it ain’t because of his dad…. Other wise bakers kids would be big hitters.
@@huarachudo47 Im 55 and have worked hard all my life so i an afford a DW kit,its amazing by the way.How old are you?.if you dont like something then dont buy it ,not a hard concept to grasp is it,or maybe it is for you.The 4 other people i know with DW kits are not pro drummers either so that kind of fcks up your argument
Great simple way of explaining approach to creating your sound. Jason is becoming a Master.

Black Country Communion is a badass group!! Every album rocks!!
I learned how to make a 4/4 feel like an odd time signature from Jason on Wait For You. Pops would be proud. "Make it hard to dance to." lol.
Reversed the snare and kicks.
Jason is a solid drummer

I had this video many years ago. Lots of fun to watch it again. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome!!
Mr. Jason John Bonham 🥁💪👊🔥⚡😎🤘
Wow his voice sounds just like it does today. Great drummer and super cool person.
Old video and throwing down some awesome licks that i just learned. And I have been playing for 40 years! Respect.

Same here!! Fun times as a kid watching this & finding my mission in life, to be the best drummer I can be!!❤
I HAVE THE VHS OF THE 90S........SEE THE SHOW IN THE 98 IN BUENOS AIRES.....TRIBUTE TO ZEPP
Bonham band I am still have the album one of the best bands of the 80s with Jason bohnam on drums
Jason is a great drummer. He’s at his best when he’s playing himself though. Those first two Bonham albums are awesome....

Bello/Magnifico.🙏✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️
The left hand leading into the crazy fills has a cool and distinctive high to low sound you can't get when right hand leading. I gotta work on that.
Funny. I play a small kit to sound better, or words to that affect, yet look at his current kit, LOL.
He never talked about the type of fan he uses to make his hair blow like he's gliding high above the earth.
He doesn't have that problem anymore! Lol
@@Mark-iq6hi LOL sadly neither do I !!
my favorite comment ever. thank you for that, brother.
Nowdays he just pastes his inheritance dollars to his bald head and let's it fly.
@@DG-sf9eicuánto hate por acá... tantos comentarios dedicados a Jason. Yo creo que en el fondo te gusta y no queres reconocerlo.

Did you do the same play with led Zeppelin you may have seen him play with the members of led Zeppelin but John Bonham was the drummer for led Zeppelin
When my dad turned on the juke box he told me to get the crates up from the cellar !

he looks so much like John Rutsey from Rush lol
He forgot to mention his drumsticks
He has his fathers face and voice..
My own copy of this tape was worn through given the amount of times I watched it.
And I'll admit to using and abusing that drum fill @25:03!
Alex Van Halen also used that fill at the end of "Love Walks In".
Where is Danny did he ever get paid not

@@Baker504 this fuggin guy.. right? I dont think this guy has the cred to even give that opinion.
I disagree. Jason Bonham is a VERY skilled drummer. It's obvious.

Jason was probably playin drums better than you at age 5.
Who’s his father again? Good god.
We get it.
