Absolutely nailed the sound. My favorite thing about Bonham's sound is how different it was to what everyone else was doing that era. The 70s had a lot of very dampened short and fat sounding drums. Then Bonham comes in and does the exact opposite with explosive wide open drums.
I was not expecting the When the Levee Breaks “bonus” at the end! Caught me off guard and made me grab my harmonica to play along! Great video, loved every second of it.
Sounds pretty familar 😅. "In my time of dying" is my absolute favourite drum sound and performance. How Bonham designed own patterns for each seperate part and grooves along while keeping the tension till the end after exploding in long and unexpected fills and finally gets back into the Intro groove! Goosebumps!
I'm 66, wanted a ludwig kit as a kid. To my shock and surprise, mum and dad got me the super classic, I'm still playing them and they sound awesome. JHB was/is my hero. RIP great man
Absolutely brilliant. I'm watching this at work and I had to pause because I was getting a little emotional. Zeppelin is one of my favorite bands and seeing the time and effort you guys put into this video got me choked up a bit. When you put the bowler hat on to start the live drumming test, I smiled through some tears. Love this video so much. Thank you.
Fool in the rain. Hands down NO question. When levee breaks is 2nd. Dazed n confused 3rd. Achilles last stand 4th. Whole lots love would be my 5th. You guys are awesome with this video. SPECTACULAR, I mean really!
Still getting the Rock n Roll intro count off before he comes in timed right: 1, 2, 3,.. & four & 1 & 2 & 3 & four & 1 & 2 & 3 &... By counting it off so that the first hh/snare hit lands on the and of three. Allowing the band, and tune to properly come in on the One of the 4 Bar Intro. 40 years of retraining my brain to hear it properly 😆! Easily done here as you pause with play button first. Then, press rewind to the left of the play button. Then hit play on two of the beat. And the first hits pretty much syncs right up with the and of three. Then repeat until your brain hears the entire 4 bar pounding HH/Snare intro Phrase the way it needs to be heard with band coming in on the One. Nice reengineering of the Bonham sound! Well done.
Great video ! The sound was great too. There's a pretty good chance John Bonham was playing a 4 piece Slingerland drum outfit on Led Zeppelin's first album. He used a Slingerland drum outfit on their tour of Scandanavia in Sept of 1968 - just before the studio and on their first English tour - just after the studio recordings for their 1st album. The first drum outfit he used in Denver was highly likely to be a rental outfit, but it was a Ludwig.
THANK YOU!!! I looked around on UA-cam for a Bonham drum gear video and I didn't find a single one. Aaaaaaaalways pushing the envelope, you guys at AoD.
The Hendrix of drumming... Great video showcasing his sound! I love that you decided to also add the big gong cymbal in the back, really completes the look!
I disagree. Hendrix was more showey. I agree that they both obviously changed how their instruments would be played forever, but in terms of musicality Bonham was brilliant because he knew how to bring energy and sophistication while not overplaying. Many drummers nowadays play the most complex or the most simple thing, not what truly fits the music the best: that was the art of it.
@@iaincunningham7926 Bonham was pretty showy too I think tho. One of many examples are the times he switched his sticks out for, well, nothing. Ofc Hendrix was more "present" on stage on a whole, but I would argue most guitarists (esp when they also do vocals) are more present than most drummers anyway. Interesting perspective you've got there tho, I was mostly looking at influence and not actual playstyle, didn't even cross my mind first lol.
You guys sure get access to some great goodies. Those drums favored by Bonham were probably quite tricky to find. Beyond fascinating watching the recording process as well. The room effect at the end was especially awesome. Great work.
Bonham didn't like close mic'ing of the drums. To really get Bonham's sound you just need a few room mics and properly tuned drums. It's really not that difficult.
Yes !!!!! ROCK N ROLL isn't deferential equations haha.....it's not difficult and john didn't spend all day in a ROOM TRYING TO GET A SOUND...jimmy did mostly due to his PRODUCTION skills..but zeppelin partied hard and jimmy probably didn't drive himself crazy in a room...shit they went to the PUB always foruuh pint or two!!!!!!
@@daviddealaman Glyn didn't use distance miking as much as his brother Andy did. That's the key and why the drums sound different on 1 compared to 2 onward.
The very first video I’ve seen/heard that got the Rock & Roll snare drum & hi-hat intro down perfectly. The rest of the sound recreation was 98% of perfection. The minute differences I heard was in the stroke impact. Bonham’s hits sound a little deeper… could be stick diameter and weight related. I thoroughly enjoyed this. 👍👍👍
Ha! You just sparked an old memory. Saved for ages back in the early 80s for a Speed King pedal but it did squeak like mad. Fine when in a live rock band but in quieter bands and venues I once had to borrow olive oil from the venue kitchen to sort it. Forty years later you’ve just reminded me of it.
Trick to Bonzo's drum sound wasn't just the tuning, sizes, and the Ludwig drums he used. It was, as you guys mentioned, the way he played it. I think this was all in his wrists and forearms. The energy released from this short distance was what made him so special. Also, the fact that he didn't need to raise his arms far up in the air to get the power he needed, is due to his working in construction as a young man in his early 20s before Zeppelin made it. Couple that with gigging almost 5 nights a week, and you have the makings of a powerhouse set of forearms and wrists that could probably fracture your face badly if anyone was ever on the receiving end of a Bonham smack. His forearm and wrist strength and technique was the drumming version of Bruce Lee's 1 inch punch.. You guys definitely did a superb job on the tuning, playing, and audio. Excellence !
Las baquetas eras mucho más finas que las ahora y que manera de aporreaba parches y platillos ERA UNICO BONZO 🙏🏻 el mejor .....gracias por compartir tu trabajo🤘🏻🎶
Really fantastic job guys. As a fellow drummer and huge Led Zep fan, I reckon you nailed it. Especially liked the When The Levee Breaks sound and playing, great work! 🤘
Also it's interesting to note, Bonham used a smaller kit on LZ 1. He didn't get the large Ludwig kit until after LZ toured Vanilla Fudge and saw Carmine's kit.
Hi! I am amazed at the detail and great sound that you have achieved, and the great performance! And not only that, you gave us a free drum mixing course, which I love too go deeper into! Thanks a lot, of course I'm already subscribed, and curious into more videos.. From Argentina...I really appreciate your work!
Impressive! I always liked the sound of Bonham's bass drum, which is why I bought a used Pearl Marching bass drum that was 26" X 14" , had spurs installed on it to convert it to a kit bass drum, installed a Remo Coated Emperor on the kick side, left the stock Pearl head on the reso side, & used felt strips to muffle the drum on both sides. It was just the sound i was looking for. with it are 1980s Pearl Export series toms including a 12" X 10" rack tom, a 14" X 14" floor tom, & a 16" X16" floor tom. I have 3 Pearl snares that I use with the kit as well as my Zildjian "A" Series cymbals. My favorite Zeppelin songs to play are " How Many More Times", " The Ocean", "Kahmir", " Stairway To Heaven", & " Nobody's Fault But Mine".
John Bonham, the man who put the sex into rock n roll drumming while dressed as a 1970s geography teacher. He's deffo one of those drummers who attract dedicated fans and I'm glad to see that the comments appear to be free from negative comments so far. For me he's the direct link between learning rudiments in school, discovering that jazz wasn't just for men in 1950s clothes and then hitting puberty and listening to music that made your bits tingle.
@ Martin von Bargen nice description! Personally, even with the beautiful Robert Plant out front, I still prefer watching the big manly guy at the back thrashing away on the skins, so I guess your theory about the sex into RnR drumming applies to me!
The only thing that I found with this video, regarding critique, is that, although he faithfully listed all the specs, & kudos! for doing so btw, but in doing so (¿assuming he either, maybe forgot, or whether he meant to not include this particular spec, idk?) he has, alas, omitted the spec regarding the particular species of wood that the drum barrels are made from (both his & Bonzo's *non~acrylic, as per compare & contrast to achieve results of successfully matching the sound as closeas possible) with the exception of mentioning the brass/chrome/aluminum of the snare & the cymbal series(implying their material)... thusly... every spec except the barrel wood... *assuming MAPLE... although I prefer the BIRCH/BUBINGA variation)
The way you miked the kit is perfect. I learned a long time ago the Glen Johns method and have used it many times in both studio and live situations. Miking every drum is not necessary if the drums are tuned right and are wide open with little to no muffling. In fact, in live situations I only use 3 mics. Bass, snare/hi-hat, and one overhead aimed at the center of the toms. In studio it's 2 bass mics, 2 overheads, and a room mic like what you did. The snare mic isn't even necessary. Sound engineers always tend to make things harder than they need to be when it comes to drums. Simple is better. I've had too many arguments with sound guys over why I don't put mic holes in any of my bass drums. They always wonder how they're going to mic it if there's no hole until I show them. Drums need a solid reso head to resonate properly. You don't put mic holes in the bottoms of the toms so why would you put one in the bass drum? Anyway, great sound man 👍
A huge framed photo of JHB hangs In my home. Good Times Bad Times Inspired my love affair with drums and music and it has been my life for 45 yrs. Your video was excellent and on point. I have all those cymbals, but those Ludwig’s, nice! Got your engineering skills down too. Well done gentlemen.
Bonzo playing since I've been loving you .from the first time I heard it to every time I play it I just gotta follow it through the whole track .John Henry Bonham was an amazing player .RIP bonzo thanks for the music .
Nice! Love the cymbal combination. I also use 2002 series.. 15" hihat, 18", 19" and 20" crash with 22" ride. Can't think of better sounding cymbals for classic rock sound
We created a full video on how Pascal mixed this video. You can watch it for free here: artofdrumming.com/courses/mixing-iconic-drum-sounds
Damned good.. I love his kick sound.. all you need are muscles the size of Jon's and you're a stand-in! (he was sooo powerful) Cheers. Good vid.
Y el solo que, eres un farsante perdedor ni sabes tocar
There was no delay at Hanley Grange. It was natural reverb on the stairs.
Absolutely nailed the sound. My favorite thing about Bonham's sound is how different it was to what everyone else was doing that era. The 70s had a lot of very dampened short and fat sounding drums. Then Bonham comes in and does the exact opposite with explosive wide open drums.
Bonham had a little bit of jazzy sound drums and i really like that aspect.
💯
Agreed!
Also, long live SYL!
@@giullianomartini Sonny Payne ( Count Basie)was likely one of Bonzo's biggest influences.
It's also how Bonham, hit them, even though this drum sound is wicked close, the feel isn't close at all.
One of the most iconic drumming is the shuffle on “fool in the rain”
The Bernard “Purdie Shuffle”
@@jimmyhartmanbass Certainly that was where Bonham started, but I think he took it a little further. His work on that song is metronomic.
That was my first choice too!
@@jimmyhartmanbass To me there are three on that mountain. Bernard Bonham and Porcaro
St. Anger 🤣
I am very impressed by the ability of this young drummer! I'm 71 years old and I'm still learning. This is so awesome! Thanks!
I was not expecting the When the Levee Breaks “bonus” at the end! Caught me off guard and made me grab my harmonica to play along!
Great video, loved every second of it.
Ya that sounded amazing ! The Levee drum sound bang-on !
It is amazing how that young man creates a sound which emulates John Bonham. I love it 😀
This is what you call “dedication”. Well done, as usual !
Thanks
@ArtOfDrumming Can you please do a video of rick allens 1983 drum kit from Def leppard 1983? This is one I'd absolutely love to see.
Sounds pretty familar 😅.
"In my time of dying" is my absolute favourite drum sound and performance. How Bonham designed own patterns for each seperate part and grooves along while keeping the tension till the end after exploding in long and unexpected fills and finally gets back into the Intro groove! Goosebumps!
That song is what made me look this video up lol
Triplets and overall sound of Bonham's drumming on Good Times Bad Times is definitely my favorite Led Zeppelin.
I'm 66, wanted a ludwig kit as a kid. To my shock and surprise, mum and dad got me the super classic, I'm still playing them and they sound awesome. JHB was/is my hero. RIP great man
I actually played Black Dog at a recital and this video and the drum cover helped me a ton. thanks guys
Best drummer of rock all of time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! King John Henry Bonham
Thanks for this video guys!
Smashing, straight on, perfect without fiddling with too many details
I made a searching for your John Bonham series long before this video uploaded and, God, it sounds good.
That was an exact match! I've heard those tunes a million times and I couldn't tell any difference. Masterfully done!
That was awsome, by far my favorite drummer ever. RIP sir Bonham...
Great job! Pascal's take on When the Levee Breaks is amazing!
Thanks!
Agreed. It's sooooo good!
Yes it is!
Gave me goose bumps!! Growing up a jazz drummer in the 70's, it was always fun to play Zep songs with my buds, and let go!@!@ Johnne in Clallam Bay WA
Excellent insight and fantastic channel!
Wow !!! This is my suggest before !! Thank you Brother ArtOfDrumming wish all of the best for this channel✌️
Amazing job and fantastic tribute to a lot of people’s favorite drummer, including mine! Here before 1mil views 🤘
Thanks 😊
Brilliant stuff. Well done and thanks for taking the trouble to put it all together and it online.
Yes!!! The chugging ghost note 8ths on the snare for Rock'n'Roll!
Also: Incredible playing and engineering! As per usual. (;
My favorite drum solo of all time is Moby Dick. Bonham managed to create harmonics using his kit. Absolutely incredible!
Very good reproduction, you killed it. It’s really hard to replicate Bonham and his iconic sound, you did him a solid!
this is art! congratulations for the video..excellent job!!
Thanks Andrew!

Thanks for your feedback and your suggestion. Ian is definitely on our list but up next are Linkin Park and Rammstein
@@ArtOfDrumming Always! One of my favorites drum channels! I'll be waiting for these videos, can you make some ones explaining the tunning process?
Sure, we already have 4 tuning courses at artofdrumming.com just head on over and sign up. It’s completely for free
Hell yeah, I'm not really the biggest Zep aficionado but will always love Bonham's playing and sound. Nice work.
Nailed it all the way. Really interesting in depth recreation. Thanks for sharing this information
sounded great! Those 24" 2002 rides sound so good too!
Brilliant! Led Zeppelin, LEGENDS! R.I.P John Henry Bonham.
The thing that always amazed me about Bonham was the rhythms he used... No other drummer, imo, has ever recreated those same rhythms....... Great vid!
Check out Mario Duplantier. Heavy metal drummer but check out some of his solos. I think he is a blend of Bonham and Peart.
Great video ! The sound was great too. There's a pretty good chance John Bonham was playing a 4 piece Slingerland drum outfit on Led Zeppelin's first album.
