Great job Jeff. Your lessons are very helpful with the way you break them down. In some ways that fill reminds me of the fill Bonham does just before the solo in Black Dog.
Great video. You really broke down the fill into manageable portions to practice and then put it all together at the end. You also included variations. Excellent scaffolding! Alex Van Halen seems to have been heavily inspired by Bohnam. This fill is almost verbatim taken from a Bohnam fill. I forget what song it was.
Always loved this song and this fill. Really great ideas to expand on it. Another of Alex’s fills that I love is the one that sets up the guitar solo in Dreams. Not sure if it’s a herta with the hands or if he’s bringing the feet in as well. Tough to hear on those Simmons pads. Thanks for this lesson, Jeff. Alex is the reason I started playing drums. I think he’s still way underrated.
Jeff your instruction is once again is so great on the breakdown of things. Wish I could start instructing like this in my studio. Thanks buddy this was great. An iconic song reference too!
To open UA-cam and see there was a new lesson from Jeff Bowders...well there's something to be thankful for!
Awesome! You got it, Chris!
Your a Beast...thx Jeff😊
Thanks, Thomas! 🦍
Great lesson, great left-hand workout and fills! hope to see more weakness-related lessons like this in the future!
Thank you! Yes, time to get that left hand out of retirement!
Just awesome
Thanks, Nick!

Thank you! Absolutely. Bonham would play a single kick version of this often. Amazing!
As always, wonderfully explained and thought out. Thank you so much - off you my drum room! 😊
You got it, Corey! Go crush it!
Awesomeness brother, great job

That's a great idea, Eric! If I can figure it out I'll do a lesson on it. Thank you!

@@LarryLondonDrummer Absolutely. We'll be up next month.
Another great lesson and 'concept' to take it even futher! 👍
Great. Vinnie Appice used to play this fill.
Absolutely! And his brother too.
I learned all the Van Halen when it came out

In a good way lol
