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.

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”

Ya that sounded amazing ! The Levee drum sound bang-on !

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!!!!!!

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!

Triplets and overall sound of Bonham's drumming on Good Times Bad Times is definitely my favorite Led Zeppelin.

Best drummer of rock all of time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! King John Henry Bonham Thanks for this video guys!

That was an exact match! I've heard those tunes a million times and I couldn't tell any difference. Masterfully done!

Brilliant! Led Zeppelin, LEGENDS! R.I.P John Henry Bonham.

My favorite drum solo of all time is Moby Dick. Bonham managed to create harmonics using his kit. Absolutely incredible!

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.

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.

@PixelFastFood

@@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.

Thanks so much Frank!

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 !
