Thanks for cracking the code for me on this. Explaining the potential delay
on the hats was an “AH-HAAAH!” moment for me. Great clip and much
appreciated.
To support what you mention about the looping hi-hat section, I think we
can hear subtle variation in speed at around 3:10 when it gets back to real
time in this isolated drum track Whole Lotta Love (Isolated Drum Track) [HD]
Do you have the transcription of this beat anywhere? I tend to like to read
the pattern and then work it up, even though I can play by ear. It is
difficult for me to practice a beat to computer.
Im glad to see theres someone else just as obsessed with bonham as i am.Hes
the greatest. hands down. I idolize his playing so much and i try to always
play to where people can tell i have a heavy bonham influence. Its always a
chalenge learning his grooves and fills and just his whole style. I have
the mans symbol tattooed on my shoulder for gods sake! Im glad to see im
not the only one idolizing his playing. its people like u and me that keep
bonzos style alive. great videos. great drumming.
hey! (on my sisters account) but i just haddd to say, thank you soooo sooo
much for this lesson! its gonna help me out alotttt cuz im learning this on
drums to play with one of the bands im in ^_^ loll couldn’t figure it out!
Somebody else posted Bonham’s isolated studio track. You can really hear
the nuances such as ghost notes. I’m a bassist but I love to listen to
Bonham. Love his feel and tone and you sound just like him.
is there any possible way you can slow this down even more??? and play it
for like 20 measures? it is kicking my ass! i listen to ti=his song a
million times played it on the dash board of the car for 25 years and now
learning to play its like wtf is he doing??? i know you got it but shit
it’s a bit too fast just the intro. thanks bra u rock! chris boston mass.
hey man, great freaking job! Best on youtube. Do you have a video
describing the snare rolls you start at 4:12? I love them but they’re a bit
weird to figure out. Does he use LRLRLRL or RLRLRLR? I think its an eighth
or sixteenth note feel, but any help would be rad!
I think one of the hardest thing to teach young drummers is the ghost note.
Its all thru his playing. It rolls things along. i saw john bonham live and
he used it all night.
I never understood how that hi hat sound was achieved until I recently got
some 15 sound-edge 2002’s. Gosh they make that nearly doubled sound because
of the slightly extra rocking motion when played. Doesn’t seem to happen
too well with 14 hats.
It’s just 16th notes 1e&a2e&a3e&a4e&a but it starts on the ‘e’ of 2. So
after the last ‘boom,boom’ on the snare/ft/bass combo (which land on 1 and
the ‘a’ of 1), the snare roll comes in on the e of the following 2 and goes
trough to the downbeat. So you have the ‘boob-boom’ on the 1 and the ‘a’ of
1 a couple times, then right after the last ‘boom-boom’ you have :
e&a3e&a4e&a (on snare) DOWNBEAT on the 1. Does that make sense? Is that the
part you’re asking about?
I’m a late baby boomer guitar player, nurtured on L.Z., Z.Z., and Z(appa)..
to name a few.. (No zzz’s intended) I attempt to coach my 12 year old son
about drum beats and grooves. I’ve always felt that Bonham’s grooves sound
to the layman, much differently than what is actually going on, which is
PURE PERCUSSION GENIUS! Bonzoleum breaks it down like no-one ever has, at
least that I’m aware of. Thanks for what you’re offering here Bonzoleum
dude!
Start by playing beats (any simple drum beat) with your left hand on the hi
hat (instead of your right). Start at a slow tempo and play for as long as
you can until your left hand feels funky. Take a break and start up again.
Fight the urge to think “This sucks-I can’t do it!”. KEEP DOING IT. KEEP
DOING IT. KEEP DOING IT.
I can’t get over how crisp your kit sounds, very nice job with the video.
Also I know what you were saying about zildjian cymbals and how their bell
sounds as opposed to paiste. Most likely explains why I have all zildjians
except my ride, 20” paiste. You explain bonham’s techniques very clearly
so it was easy to learn, keep it up!
Hi Terry Keating ^_^ Your my best reference for one of those John Bonham
grooves you are teaching 😀 And im happy. Are you Planning to do some drum
covers of some famous Led Zeppelin songs lately just for a new change of
phase? That would be great ^_^ Thanks Bonzoleum ^_^ ~Charles MAbuhay
PHilippines ^_^ Cheer
Gosh, your drums sound just like Bonham’s. Fab tutorial, thanks Terry.
Interesting regarding that hi-hat loop pattern.
so so practic more please
WOW THANKS I LOVE THAT SONG AND REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME HEARING IDT AND
NEVER KNEW THE INTRACACIES OF THE DRUMS — THANKS SO MUCH
Thanks for cracking the code for me on this. Explaining the potential delay
on the hats was an “AH-HAAAH!” moment for me. Great clip and much

fucking love how you explain it all. so much better than a straight up
cover. helps to really get the feel.
vistallites :3 lol
Great performance, sounds like original, thanks!

Dude is great but he has to get off the coke!

Terry, I get more out of your videos in 10 minutes than I’ve gotten from
watching other people for years! Can’t thank you enough, man! 🙂
hey man, great freaking job! Best on youtube. Do you have a video
describing the snare rolls you start at 4:12? I love them but they’re a bit
weird to figure out. Does he use LRLRLRL or RLRLRLR? I think its an eighth

I think one of the hardest thing to teach young drummers is the ghost note.

Sweet groove dude, it takes a brave man to take on a Bonham track but you
do it justice – Thanks for sharing
