John Bonham Drum Lesson: Dazed & Confused (Danmarks Radio).
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2024
- I think the first time I witnessed Bonham play the first three fills in the Danmarks Radio version of "Dazed and Confused," I had my entire existence rocked off its fault line. Napster had just become a thing (circa 2000-2001), and I was trying to scour the depths of the world wide web for any live Led Zeppelin material I could find. With the simple search of "Live Led Zeppelin," I was quickly exposed to the "Listen To This Eddie" performance of "The Song Remains The Same," and the entirety of the Danmarks Radio performance. Needless to say, it cemented John Bonham as the Zeus of all drummers in my mind, and now twenty years later, I'm sitting here in my garage making a video about that mythical performance.
Here is the original Danmarks Radio performance: • Led Zeppelin: Live on ...
Some poor saps might argue that the visual element of seeing Bonzo perform these fills is what makes them seem cool, but after countless years of downloading and listening to bootlegs ala Presence's fantastic site (RIP Jason Peterson - the contributions you made to the world of Zeppelin will resonate until the sun swallows the Earth), the musical quality and ingenuity of these fills definitely stand on their own. To some degree, it ruined a lot of performances of Dazed and Confused for me, because I would listen in hopes of hearing even one of these fills thrown into the performance. Alas, the brilliance of Bonzo was in not having to repeat himself; his fearlessness, creativity, and respect for the instrument and the music that he was playing would almost always lead to something new and exciting.
I apologize for any harsh cuts in this video. I ended up babbling for over an hour when I filmed this, and in the effort to chop it down to some manageable length, I had to make some concessions in the quality of the cuts. Still, I hope it serves it's purpose and helps fill in any gaps or answers any questions you may have about his amazing performance!

When is the next video coming Derek?
Man, I hope as soon as possible! It's been an interesting concoction of variables on my end for 2020; My wife and I had our second kid, we moved into a new place, and I had to have back surgery. Needless to say, my output on the UA-cam front hasn't been nearly as a prolific as I was hoping for this year.
Still, the list of topics for videos is 1,000 ideas long, so now that I'm on the better end of recovering from surgery, I'm going to start to see what I can put together. For example, one idea I've had for a loooong time would be titled, "Zen and the Art of Drum Maintenance." Basically, the Green Sparkle kit I have needs a lot of tender, loving care after hundreds of shows of abuse. I thought it might be beneficial to put together a video on the different ways of taking care of the various parts of a drum set, remove rust from hardware, what kind of sealer wax to use to keep hardware protected from oxidation, etc, etc. Basic stuff, but maybe beneficial for new drummers.
The other facet will be putting together the new garage to record. I was incredibly sad to leave the old garage behind, but the new one is actually a little bigger, and so my hope was to spruce it up and make it as nice as possible - wood laminate, sound-proofing the walls with sound board, insulation and solid sheet rock. That's all stuff I can do myself, but I'm about five weeks away from getting the thumbs up from my neurosurgeon to engage in heavy lifting again. I'm so excited to get going on that though, so I'm trying to do what I can where I can.
I had anticipated some amount of these setbacks, and was trying to build up a stockpile of covers I could upload while I was down. The goal was: Drum cover WITH music uploaded on Monday, drum cover WITHOUT music on Wednesday, and then a lesson on the song that was covered on Friday. Of course, that didn't quite pan out the way I had hoped; the most I was able to get done was just putting together a cover for 'Ramble On.' I'll get back to it all as soon as possible, but at least I can leave you with this for the time being:

@@KickItLikeBonham Thanks for the reply. Geez what a year for you, especially since you didnt even mention and or include the pandemic. The green sparkle kit video sounds like an extremely good idea since you seem to be the only one who actually do updated videos showing of the vintage Bonham Ludwig kits. Would definitely watch that. Hoping too see a yank of new videos soon, but take your time, you have left so much good content to keep us entertained for a while. I would also LOVE to see you break down more of his live fills like you did in this video. Best regards.
These fills are absolute masterpieces. I'm gonna have to use some of these.
Without a doubt! They are guaranteed to floor every audience you play in front of and make every band you jam with want to make you the highest paid member of the group!
I actually wanted to ask what if
If I want to make a rock band and make it successful but u know CLASSIC ROCK MUSIC is dying in this generation so how to make a rock band successful in this generation
I'm feeling very for this generation as it does not have sense of classic 70's and 80's rock music etc I wish I could live in that era
Holly crap man, i don t even play drums. Fantastic job.
Ha, ha! Well, I'm certainly glad you dig the video enough to leave such a nice comment! Thanks, man!
Ah, yes! Was looking forward to this upload. I believe Bonham’s drumming on Danmark’s Radio as a whole was very impressive to me. Especially How Many More Times
Definitely! That'll have to be another one that I tackle at some point! It's so great to have that footage available to us!
This is the most helpful, well produced Bonham tutorial I've ever seen... and I've been scouring the internet, inspired by him for about 10-15 years now!
Well, you just helped justify all the hours I spent cutting it together then! :) I really appreciate it, man! Thanks!
Dude this is amazing. You have studied the hell out of John Bonham
Oh, man - it's been a ton of fun, but you're not kidding. It's a fun endeavor trying to put these videos together every so often to share in the joy of all that he added to the world of drums!
This is what makes UA-cam so great, to get a lesson like this from a top notch drummer such as yourself is amazing to me.
I'm glad you dig it, Andrew! Thanks so much! I promise I'll keep em coming as often as I can!
my friend you put so much work in to this and i have said and will say again you are a top notch Bonham man love ya buddy
Hey Billy! It's great to hear from you, my friend! I hope you're doing well up in B.C.! Thanks so much for the continued support and especially acknowledging my whining in regards to how long it took to put this all together 😅 I'm glad to have it finished and up here!
@@rainsong7327 I'm not the most qualified person to speak on that matter. I've heard second hand that there are differences between sparkle wraps from the 60's and 70's versus modern wraps, but it sounds like they're minimal. And unfortunately, I can't recall seeing a vintage green sparkle next to a modern green sparkle to know. The drum shells I have are vintage, but it's a rewrap with a modern green sparkle. I know this isn't really answering your question, so I'm sorry for the long-winded response. Hopefully, someone with more experience will see this!
awesome, a couple more fills a can add to my arsenal, thank you man!! good video :)
I'm thrilled to hear it! Thanks so much for the nice comment, Sam! All the best to you, man!
Stop stop stop, you had me at "Disciples of Bonham" 🙏☠🤘🥁🔥
Ha, ha, ha! I love this! I'll make sure to keep that intro for the future!
Being a dane, i think its really awesome, that Led Zeppelin's first live performance ever was in my country. Despite them being the new yardbirds back then, it still holds a certain pride to me.
As it should! They were such inspired performances, and as far as I'm concerned, the buildings in which they performed should be considered historical landmarks, as far as I'm concerned! Thank you for the comment, my friend!
Amazeing bro.Thanks for shareing your bonaham talent ,very helpfull.You and george are the best i have seen.thanks.
Thanks so much, my friend! 😊
I've been watching this guy forever and I'm blown away every video.
youre actually the best. thanks for the breakdown to these amazing fills and dont ever stop uploading. keep up the good work!👍
I'll keep putting videos together as often as possible! I definitely enjoy doing them! Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm really happy you enjoyed the video!
Another quality production. Do we even deserve this? Great job man, the drums sound orgasmic!
Ha! You deserve it all, Pawel! All of it!!!
Super! Thanks for spending your time and showing us 😃👍
This will be my main exercise for probably a year ahead 😅
Ha, ha! It'll be a year well spent! :) Thanks so much, Johan!
You and George are the two best I've seen. I wish I was at your level. Keep making the videos and we will keep watching.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Such a gift!
Thank you for your time to teach us this amazing drumset concepts!!!! (JR-PORTUGAL)
The pleasure is all mine, my friend! Thanks so much for the nice comment! I will keep trying to put more up as often as possible!
thank you so much this is exactly what i was seeking
I'm thrilled to read it! These have long been some of my favorite fills, so I'm glad you were seeking them out, as well! All the best to you!
Have seen many iterations of these Zep songs and Bonham. Since you are not just playing along but explaining slowly the fills was very entertaining to me as a drummer for over fifty years. Well done
I really appreciate the nice comment! I'm glad that, as a drummer, you could get something out of it! I promise I'll keep giving these videos my best effort!
Great tutorial. Ironically I found full #3 to be the most challenging. You should totally do more of these types of tutorials. Some key fills from How Many More times would be incredible.
It shall be done! I'm hoping to resume getting more videos up later this year, and I'll definitely tackle How Many More Times!
@@KickItLikeBonham I’m looking forward to your interpretation of the fill section. I’ve seen several different takes on it. Thanks!
How awesome is that. Wow thanks Derek. You are a beast on the drums just like John Bonham!🤟🏻🥁
Thanks so much, Rodolfo! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the video! I'll keep making them as often as possible!
@@KickItLikeBonham and thank you Derek for making it possible for all John Bonham passionate drums like you and everyone else that loves John Bonham's playing! There should be a religion of John Bonham. Now every Sunday I'd be so early for Church! Lol
Thanks man,,just got my 24,13,16 I’m ready to break it in..
I'm a year late in responding, but I'm hoping you've properly broken in your 'new' kit at this point, and are loving it!
Excellent video, Derek. You broke the fills down well. Plenty for me to practice with. Your time editing was well spent!
Your words are soothing to my soul, Aaron! Now that I'm a little more removed from working on this particular video, I'm a little more okay with how it turned out. Still, I'm hoping I can learn from the error of my ways in how I assembled all of this and make the next one a little more efficiently!
Just ordered a shirt too! Keep up the good work!
Great stuff. Brilliant insight! 👍😎
Right on! I'm thrilled to see you enjoyed it and got something out of it! Is there anything else Bonham-related you'd like to see covered?
I really appreciate the kind words, Steve!
Yes! I am so happy to see a new video from you! This has made my day better! I also wanted you to know that I mentioned your channel to Mike Miley from Rival Sons and he said he was going to check it out! You mentioned him in one of your videos, and so I thought you might be a fan of his. Wouldn't that be so cool if he became a fan of yours too! Anyways, thank you again! I hope you are staying safe! Keep using this time to make more videos :)
Oh, wow! That's awesome! I love his work and the sound he captures on the drums. I think he's incredibly inventive in his compositions, and harnesses everything I love about Bonham and the other drummers who have inspired him! Thanks so much for the kind words and mentioning the channel to him! Do you know him personally?
Also, nice name! I had actually toyed around with calling this channel 'Bonzo's Montreux' for a little bit!
thank you ! for sharing! and glad your back from that gig way back three years ago. im sure you dont remember me. hope to share more music thoughts and life experiences with you . a fan.
Refresh my memory...where did I meet you? It's always fun going down memory lane!
You've done an amazing job of recreating Bonham's kit, hardware and all.
I'm glad you dig it, man. Speaking of digging... DUDE!!! Your cover of Good Times Bad Times on the mini kit is amazing!!! And talk about attention to detail! Your Rogers hi-hat stand and Speed Kind pedal, as well as what looks like keystone badges are spot on! The world needs more of your talent, Samuel! Well done, brother!
Kick It Like Bonham Thanks, glad you liked it! Though I think your kit is a much bigger accomplishment, literally! No, but really, do your shells have reinforcement rings, like the original Ludwig kit? Just curious, cos I’m especially impressed with kits like yours.
@@sjsleiman Why did you delete the video? Would've liked to see it
That's an amazing kit an exact replica of Bonham's, kit right down to the tom mount.....and brilliant drumming, you make it look so easy !!
Thanks so much, my friend! As I was putting this kit together, I grew more and more fond of the look of Bonham having the Roger's mount on his kit, so I was finally able to come into one and have been thrilled with it ever since! I'm glad to finally be getting some videos of the kit with that included here on UA-cam! :)
@@KickItLikeBonham Looking forward to more video's.....there great mate !!
GRANDEEE, NÃO CANSO DE VER OS VIDEOS DESSA MÚSICA
Estou emocionado ao ouvir isso, meu amigo! Vou continuar fazendo-os!
Awsome break down and explanation..👌
Awesome, man! I'm glad you dig it. Thanks so much!
Thanks!
I appreciate you!
And I appreciate your kind words and support! Thanks so much, John!
Congrats on your son Derek! Thanks for being you.
Ha, ha! I will keep being me and give you everything I've got! And thanks so much for the well wishes on our son! The family feels complete!
As always great tuition
Thanks so much, Tim!
UNREAL!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for such a kind comment!
Great playing as usual. Yea and that Drifter at 6:20 on… 🎶🤘🏼
Awesome...!!!
Thanks so much, Darryl!
i would love to see more videos with this kit! the thermo was always my favorite. especially when he brought it out only with an 18 inch floor tom. it’s like an oversized “normal” ludwig drum kit. it’s awesome. you did a fine job recreating them, and of course playing them.
For all the support you've always shown: vimeo.com/kickitlikebonham/rambleon
I've been in the process of moving and recovering from back surgery. I was hoping to have a little more recorded before I went down, but I promise you'll see plenty more of this kit in the near future once I'm back up to speed!
Kick It Like Bonham oh man! how didn’t i know about that? i’m sure you’ve seen i lurk on instagram and whatnot. i really do hope you recover from that, and i hope all is well and you can get back to playing again sometime soon. if those beautiful kits of yours can’t be played by bonham himself you’re certainly the one who’s second in command.
Kick It Like Bonham and thanks for little introduction to your vimeo channel. i know they’re a whooooole lot more lenient on copyright.
excellent content!
Right on! Thanks so much, man!
Great lesson thankyou congrats on your little one
Thanks so much, Bob! He's been totally worth the lack of sleep that comes along with a newborn! We're digging what he's added to the family so far. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, too!
Derek, Awesome video! Best job so far of anyone explaining the licks of Bonham. Would live more videos as far as some of the licks in SRS and specifiically in that song where he does the RLRRLLR-R on the 14" and 16" with the bass drum accents on the first R and last two rights. Again, don't know if that correct just my interpretation. Thanks so much, can't wait to see you play again soon. Now back to setting up my Vistas...
Aye! Are you talking about the part in Dazed and Confused from TSRTS? During the call and response between the guitar and drums? If so, yeah! I can definitely address that part soon! I know George did a great breakdown over on Bonhamology recently. I have no doubt that would probably answer any questions you may have. Still, I'm doing my best to cover as much as I can, and I love that part! If you're talking about the actual song, "The Song Remains The Same," then I'll need to re-listen to that one to pick up on the part you're talking about.
And thanks so much for the kind words, my friend! I always appreciate it!
Great Job Man!
Thanks so much, Federico! I really appreciate the kind comment!
So good
I'm glad you dug it, my friend!
More vídeos please
I promise I'll keep them coming as often as possible. I've got two young kids, so I'm doing my best to fit in some drumming in between them...
Thanks for the great tutorial always a pleasure. ( is that a Rogers tom mount?)
Thanks so much, Rob! I'm glad you enjoyed it! It is a Rogers mount! I've grown quite fond of that look for Bonham's thermogloss kit, so I had to track one down myself!
@@KickItLikeBonham I see now that he used that setup, thanks.
Diggin the squeaky pedal! 👍🏻👍🏻
Forever and always! I'm glad you dig it, man! I'll make sure it's featured in all the videos!
Awesome job! This helped so much! I was wondering whether you bury the beater or not? And whether or not you think Bonham did?
I try not to bury the beater, although I'm sure it happens from time to time. From the few shots of Bonham's kick technique I've seen, it doesn't look like he buried the beater, either. I think a lot of what he did on the kick was dependent on the beater bouncing off the head and then his foot catching the pedal at the right time to string together multiple hits for whatever beat he was playing.
Yep yep yep yep
That's it
That's the way, make more of these.
It shall be done! More is on the way!
You rock!
Dude I just discovered your channel and it is absolutely amazing! I was wondering, when did you see led zeppelin live?
I'm happy to have you here, my new friend! Unfortunately, I was born after Zeppelin / Bonham was no more, so I've had to scour for whatever footage exists of them playing together.
Ok thanks
It was kind of a dumb question but I was kind of confused because it sounded like you did see them live but now I can see that you ment videos. 😄
See I told you it was going to be epic, 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍nice kit by the way Is it just the Ritchie ring for dampening on this kit or are you using a felt strip also? Iv always wondered about the bass drum sound on good times bad times if it is a 22 slingerland filled with news paper? Iv not heard anyone get that “ sound “ from their kick. Anyhow random thought comment over🙃keep up the good work excellent lesson.
Hey James! I do have a felt strip on the batter head and the Ritchie ring on the resonant head. I noticed that that's how Bonham had this kit dialed in, so I decided to try and do the same. In regards to Good Times, Bad Times - that's a great question! I'm guessing it was some amount of mixing / engineering to get that soft 'woof' sound they achieved on the kick. Maybe some kind of compression, along with the 22" kick and the way he had it tuned? One of the things I'd like to do is set up an old Super Classic kit (13/16/22) and play through that first record with the drums tuned up as closely as I can to the first record. All in good time...
Kick It Like Bonham 👍 the lessons are very cool keep em coming 👍
Thank you for this. Could you also provide a tutorial for the drum fills in "In My Time of Dying"? Love the channel - take care and stay safe and healthy!
Hey Rofi! Yes! I will definitely make a lesson video for 'In My Time Of Dying!' It may be just a little bit, but it will happen!
genial
¡Me alegra que lo hayas disfrutado, Claudio! ¡Muchas gracias por el lindo comentario!
Hey man any tips for playing the dazed and confused crossovers? When I do it they sound like doubles with a delayed kick instead of smooth triplets.
I would recommend focusing on whichever hand you hit with last, whether you're leading with your right hand or your left hand. If you focus on making sure the transition between that last hit on the tom and then the hit on the kick are solid, it generally helps me balance out the triplets to be consistent. Give that last hit with your hand just a little more power.
This is one exercise that does benefit from slowing it down to the point that you can play them consistently and then gradually increasing the speed. Sometimes, playing something slow doesn't really work when you speed it up (and vice-versa), but this is one that I think does work pretty well at slower speeds translating to more consistency when sped up. That being said, you can also throw caution to the wind and decide to play the triplets for say...one to one and a half minutes, sloppy or not. Don't stop if they are sloppy, but instead, try and think about what part of your body is dragging and making them sloppy and then try to balance that out WHILE you're still playing them. If you're still relatively new to the drums, this process can be a little challenging. However, it's something you will develop more naturally with experience, and certainly something to focus on developing sooner than later so that you improve faster.
The last thing I'd recommend is finding some way of recording yourself to hear what it actually sounds like from a little distance. I think there are apps you can download for your phone that will compress the audio so that you're not overloading the mic, and will allow you to hear things more clearly. There's no substitute for being able to listen and review what you're playing after the fact so that you can give your brain a chance to process what you're supposed to do outside of the time you're actually sitting down and playing the drums.
I hope some amount of that is of benefit to you, Tyler!
@@KickItLikeBonham Thank you so much!!! I'll give it a try. By the way there is a version of Dazed and Confused 1969 version in color that Zep performed somewhere else, any chance we could get a cover? If you google what I just said you should find it. :)
Aye! I think you're referring to the supershow performance! Yeah! I'll try to take a stab at that some time soon!
@@KickItLikeBonham Thanks man you're the best!
Please play a cover of how many more time. There is only 1 video on UA-cam if someone playing it
I definitely will! It's my goal to go through the whole first Zeppelin album and do drum covers of all of the songs soon! However, I would recommend checking out Bonhamology and his covers of both the studio version and the live version from RAH. They'll definitely satisfy your itch for a cover of HMMT.
Can u pls tell me where can I get that kit same sizes except bass drum but rack tom of 12 × 15 of 3 ply
Pls reply fast as possible
What's the purpose of having the tom mounted on the kick and having it on a stand? I knew Bonham did that and I always wondered
I think for added stability. Bonham may have been paying tribute to other drummers, like Ringo, who used the Rogers mount on their Ludwig kits, as well. But I think, overall, it helped keep the rack tom in place. In particular, playing Moby Dick / Pat's Delight and slamming the drums with his hands probably caused any number of small to large mishaps that were frustrating and inconvenient in the midst of playing, so adding that mount was the easiest solution at the time.
@@KickItLikeBonham makes sense now, still quite interesting nonetheless.
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I cannot thank you enough for this lesson! I've been trying to get to a point where I can cover at least one Led Zeppelin song on drums. My wish is to cover Good Times Bad Times first as it was the first song on their first album. I hope I can! Your lessons and videos are an inspiration to me to continue in this quest. Thanks so much! Rock on!
You are very welcome, Shreyas! I have no doubt you'll be able to get Good Times, Bad Times down if you stick with it. I'm actually working on that one myself right now! It's proven to be very difficult to complete because the cowbell pattern is difficult to memorize and execute. Still, if I can get that one down to my satisfaction, I will make a lesson on it that will hopefully help in some way.
@@KickItLikeBonham Yes, if you ever get the lesson out, I'll be the first one to learn it from you! I have all your lessons and covers saved because I love how you interpret Bonham so well. It's a privilege to be able to see the technique so clearly. Thanks for your efforts! Will love to see you play live some day!
hey i just realized something sticking out on the bottom of the inner-side of the 16 inch floor tom. is that a tone control down there on the resonant side?
I don't have any kind of tone control on the 16". Is it the felt strip (that I should've cut the ends off) coming off the kick drum that you're seeing? That's the only form of muffling I have in that area. The 18" does have a tone control knob on it.
Kick It Like Bonham i certainly take your word as they’re your damn drums lol. but take a look at about 2:15, to the right of the lug that’s right under where the snare and tom tom meet. to the right of it there’s this little chrome knob that just happened to catch my eye god knows how.
@@christiandaelemans Ah! I think what you're seeing is the tension knob on the mic stand that's going to the snare drum. I noticed that it looks like a tone control knob in another video I shot around the same time. The angle does make it look like it's on the floor tom, but it's actually a bit more in the foreground...
Kick It Like Bonham yes! yes that’s it! haha i forgot to come back and say anything else but when i watched that ramble on video that was on vimeo i noticed “hey that ‘tone control’ is in a different place” and i traced where it was coming from back to the mic stand and i was like “ooooh”. lol but hey thank you for coming back here to clarify this silly little thing even if you didn’t have to. you’re a real nice creator, i’ve been watching your videos more recently and i see in the comments how much you interact with your viewers. it’s great. keep up the good work!
@@christiandaelemans I appreciate it, my friend. Thanks so much!
Hi Derek what size and brand sticks are you using?
Hey Vincent! I'm using Vic Firth American Classic 5B Wood Tip sticks!
Those are beautiful drums and it would be a pity if they hadn't got properly hammered----Kick It never lets you down
Another question sorry. Which Tom do you prefer, 14x12 or 14x10?
Definitely the 14x10. The 14x12 I have isn't a 3-ply, and the 14x10 I have is 3-ply. Still, I think there's a nicer balance of tone AND attack with the 14x10.
@@KickItLikeBonham Super! Thank you!!
I noticed you got the Rogers swivel Matic on the wing Tom know cool
I did! I've grown to really love the look of his kit when he added that. I was fortunate to find one in pretty good condition!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
hi, on the fills three there are all single or there is a drag before the roll?
can you write me the stickings of the ending fill please?
thanks you very much
Excellent Video and instruction. The only wish would be to slow it down a little more.
I'll definitely shoot to slow stuff down in future lesson videos. I was worried about that. Honestly, sometimes I lose the ability to play certain things if I slow them down too much to focus on the sticking. My brain just doesn't compute whatever muscle memory has developed in my hands. Still, that's really something I need to work on, because It will allow me to communicate some of these techniques more effectively.
Kick It Like Bonham I am so appreciative of you taking the time to teach us drummers that love Bonham. I guess we are all at a different level and sometimes my ears just cant hear what’s going on. You’re a bad azz Bonzo like drummer. My dream is to learn the whole zeppelin song catalog. Thanks again my fellow Bonzo fanatic!
Same here! We'll go through the whole catalog together!
Dig the Shirt.Fan enough to know it.I own 28 Zepp shirts.Physical Graffiti with the strippers inside is my favourite record.Rock On.
28 Zeppelin T-Shirts!!! That's awesome! Rock on, indeed!
Skwiiik Skwiik ..
I dig it, man! Thanks so much!
@@KickItLikeBonham Haha I love it man !
I would pay to see someone do a Bring it on Home (rough mix) drum cover...
What's that now?!?! Pay....??? In all honesty, I'll definitely get to that one when I cover the studio version! I'm assuming you're referencing the version included on the bonus disk of the recent remaster. I dig that version a lot!
Yes dude! One of my favorite drum tracks of all time right there. Rock on!
I'm inviting you to join the Facebook group John Henry Bonham. I think they would enjoy your posts! p.s.....I finally scored a 6.5x14 Supraphonic!
That's awesome about the Supraphonic! I'm guessing you're very happy with it at this point?!?! And I know you left this comment a little while back...I'll make sure to keep a lookout for that invite! You get so many of those on Facebook these days that they all start to blend together. I'll find yours though!
If you don't mind i would like to share a few of your videos with my group...JOHN HENRY BONHAM...ANYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN.
Of course! It would be a real honor! Thanks so much! I'll have to check out your group...
@@KickItLikeBonham ok thanks heaps....much appreciated.👍
yeah Bonzo lead with his left hand coz he's left handed and plays like an ambidextrous
Bonham was right handed, but it's a classical technique to lead with the left. Cozy Powell was right handed but also led with the left hand, but Ian Paice of Deep Purple was left handed but led with the right.
Aye! I think there are some pictures of him signing or writing something with his right hand, but like Some Bloke mentioned - I think some amount of tradition and good fundamentals led to leading with the left hand!
@@KickItLikeBonham It's an odd thing altogether as on a drum kit you get your weaker hand (left if your a righty) to do the most complex things (grace notes, etc). Simon Phillips is a righty, but plays the hi hat with his left and snare with his right. Your dominant hand is then doing all the clever stuff.
Aye! It's an incredibly clever way to train yourself on the drums. My favorite living drummer, Carter Beauford, plays the same way. The crazy fills you're able to incorporate that way are mind-blowing (and mind destroying when you try to play them open handed like they do).
IM TRYING TO FIND YOUR VIDEO WHERE YOU TALK ABOUT HI HAT CONTROL CANT FIND IT WHERE YOU KEEP THE HI HAT GOING THROUGH MOBY DICK CAN YOU HELP MANY THANKS ....
Hmmm...I don't know if I've actually covered that topic in any depth. Is it possible you're thinking of one of the videos George has done on Bonhamology or Terry has done on Bonzoleum?
No definitely something you done ..
It’s best to sound like yourself not Bonham. The beds drummer have there own sound.
Isn't dazed 12/8
You study bonaham like the pope studies his bible.😊
Ha, ha! That's great! I will proudly call myself a discipline of Bonham! 🥳
Slower please.
