  • One of a few videos I have for bass drum technique, but the exercises in here are very specific to the Bonham Zeppelin 1968-1970 era bass drum stylings.

  • @misfit2022
    @misfit2022 7 років тому

    I got all my foot technique from one song Good Times Bad Times. Everything is in that one song. Interestingly one of my warm up routines was hi hat 2 bass drum strikes to the rhythm of 1 and a and snare on 4 just for fun. I thought I was the only one to do that. One of my others was triplets with accents on the cymbals. Nice foot technique. I do not play drums so much these days but I do play the odd jam session and I still have the same foot technique so I think muscle memory means it is ingrained. I used to put towels in my bass drum. Definitely took me much longer than a week. I had an old Pearl pedal from the early 90's and it was a dream to play this sort of foot technique. Very little feel to extreme drumming. Dave Lombardo is an exception as he seems to understand groove. At the end that was reminiscent of Am I Evil by Diamond Head

  • @davidpeavy8544
    @davidpeavy8544 6 років тому

    Well Done~! I have 7 high end pedals, DW Pearl with 3 cams. They all just needed more 'work' than my old Speed King. I bought a new one and I am amazed how much less force it takes to smack HARD and speedy. I guess the light weight and simplicity of a hidden spring inside each leg works better than DW, Pearl etc.. The old one has 12 years of gigs but it never once failed me~! Less is more for me anyway.

    @Tmxx5788 6 років тому +1

    I also tried that technique by myself, I discovered it alone but the problem is that you can't control the speed,and you are always locked in one tempo,it is very quick tempo but when you play linear kick drum paterns it's impossible to slow it down... Bouncing leg is hard to control in linear slow rhythm

  • @BlackRose369.
    @BlackRose369. 8 років тому

    I'm going to switch to this technique. I used to play more with my whole leg/ knee and could only play fast doubles but no fast triples or quads. I hope I'll get it down quick with the same power I used to have.
    It's a lot easier with shoes though, used to play with socks.
    You recommend any shoes and pedal settings that would make this easier?

  • @boblatzer
    @boblatzer 8 років тому +4

    Many drummers have been able to come close to imitating John Bonham. But no one can come close to playing like Barrimore Barlow of Jethro Tull, who Bonham, ( a good friend of his) called the "greatest drummer Great Britain ever produced." Have a listen and try to play the Jethro Tull album 'Thick as a Brick.' None of the drummers that followed Barrie after he left Tull ever came close. Jason Bonham said Barrie was a bigger influence than his own dad.

    • @DannyGadish
      @DannyGadish 7 років тому +3

      Bonham was better. and so was Bill Ward, Mitch Mitchell, and Ian Paice.

    Hi....do you like to bury the beater, or bring it off the head?

  • @Plydrms
    @Plydrms 8 років тому

    Hi, do you think the triplets are easier if burying the beater? I see you mostly bury and rest it there between notes. I am trying to let the beater bounce back off for a fuller sound. This seems harder for the "Bonham triplet" stuff..thanks

    • @DanielS10291
      @DanielS10291 Рік тому

He did mention ADH kind of drummer. If he needs it to focus ...not a problem there. Plus this guys got enough followers to start his own religion. :) He must be doing something right.

    @ericredlefsen5554 7 років тому

    First of all, learn to tune like Bonham. Any drummer that wants his feet to be able to do anywhere near what his hands can do knows you don't bury the beater into the head. Strike and recoil, strike and recoil. The real challenge is learning how to play heals on the floor at all times. Lots of work and practice and most will not or cannot do it.
