I’m looking at his clothes and his overall demeanour, and I’m thinking,,,he lives amongst those drums, sleeps among those drums,, eats Kebabs and curry’s off a snare drum, does his washing once a year in an old bass drum, drinks cheap sherry from a cow bell, and talks to a floor Tom that’s dressed in a wig and dress. I could be wrong of course?
“The implied” that’s a great understanding, comprehension of Bonham’s intentions. I’m getting it. You’re verbalizing some of what I know, but I’m not able to explain like you can. I love this. You are really really good at this stuff. This Bonham stuff. Ty sir!!!
PIlotrcm Because alot of the other teachers spent too much time in study at college music theory getting dumber than more skillfull at the feel of musical rythmn. ...Nate Smith 80/20 on RUclips is a prime example of "educational" judgemental puppetry to the system
Dude, you perfectly summed up the swing/shuffle/feel thing that I've tried explaining to people for years. I'm dying laughing at how succinct this explanation is. Thanks, man!
FINALLY! YES. I was working with someone learning drums and trying to explain that moment, where the "and" moves and swings the way Bonham does it. I'm sending her this video. PERFECTION! Snort (the crack of deliciousness) Dyin.....
Dude!!!! So much fun. I’m another George, but not a drummer. But Bonzo was the shit! And it was so much in the feel. You made me happy listening to you explain. You would be an ideal teacher for a rock n roll drummer! From one George to the next, thanks, and keep rocking!
I'm not even a drummer and I just subscribed to this guy, he might be crazy, he might be a genius, he may very well be a combo of the two but I'm in for the ride (no pun intended)
The point being made here is exactly, positively on point. Bonham's playing definitely had a little "swing" in it. You could say the same thing about Ginger Baker on many tracks (e.g. - the tom fills during the verses of "White Room"). Keith Moon and Mitch Mitchell also exhibited this feel on certain tracks. I think part of the reason is that many of the 60's rock drummers had role models who were jazz players, where swinging drumming is the rule much of the time (e.g., Elvin Jones clearly influenced Bonzo's playing a great deal).
You make music theory more understandable than when I actually took music theory in school. You're like the Jack Black of Bonzo drumming school man! You are so right on to say that he made the beats of the music tasty!
This speaks to me. I taught myself to play just by listening to Bonham on repeat. I grew up on Jazz, Swing, and Rock, so Bonham spoke to me. I always called it a stomp groove, though I’m certain I didn’t come up with that. Regardless, I like chuggalugga. I haven’t touched a kit for 9 years, but shit like this and Bonham are making me want to start back up.
There are some published papers from J P Jones for a music magazine. He talks about what he calls stomp groove there, but it's a different thing. It's polyrhythms such as playing a 9/8 riff over a 4/4 beat, or a 3/4 over a 4/4 (black dog, kashmir)
That little bit of swing is the space most modern music can not replicate to even remotely make it interesting. From a mathematical perspective, this can be taught but feeling it...it’s just gotta be in your blood. Very interesting just listening to you...I subbed immediately.
True. Bonham, Apicce, Ward, Moon, etc. While notation is and can be a successful guide to creating music, it's not the only way to do so. The intangibles is what makes music difficult & interesting especially when someone like Bonham had "it" inherent . It really ruffles an academics feathers.
Spot on!!! Another drummer that I think has a fantastic swinging 8th feel is Phil Rudd, I’ve always thought his hihat playing has a real “swaggery” swing to it
Killer explanation and examples, man. I’ve played for 35+ years, and it wasn’t until about the last 15 that I have purposely/consciously worked on pushing or dragging the upbeat. Bonham was definitely a master at it. Interestingly, it was the “chug-a-lugging” hi hat on the Chuck Berry Christmas song “Run, Run, Rudolph” that really got me working on it. The best way I have to describe it musically is like the sound a cabasa shaker makes when you play 8ths on it, kind of a rolling feel. Ringo, Max Weinberg, and Levon Helm made some great music with this feel.
I read that miles Davis said "there's three places on a beat,behind the beat,on the beat and ahead of the beat"and that's true if you try it.one of the main examples of this concept is very clear on whole lotta love.most drummers play it the wrong way.they just play the beats and forget all that swing feel underneath.is not an easy song to play if you don't get that kind of floaty feel.chris layton from double trouble plays something very similar.it's not just the beats,there's a see saw swing to it.
The Bonham phenomenon , or 'Bonhamenon'.....is so subtle that it's almost intangible , yet you have explained it so well. All of your videos are a treasure Mr. Keating.
Finally, a video on this! I've noticed this for a while and how it relates to Bonzo's greatness. Although, I think it is most prevelant in his cave man fills.
Thanks I see where this is going,and I just noticed that john was quite incredible ly able to play four different complex beats with each arm and leg that's unbelievable....I know that when I'm singing with ZEPPLIN songs that I love I never have trouble losing the beat it so groove orientated I turn the music off and go to sleep with bonzos drum beat going on in my head as I'm trying to sleep....useally don't fall asleep for a while hah hah hah hah....THANKS....
I’m so happy I stumbled on this channel! I’m a guitarist but I wish I was a drummer, Please also admire “Fool in the Rain” for taste, feel, and fills, it’s nothing short of perfect
Thanks. For breaking it down....and keeping it fun,this is round two for me I had a Gibson SG and gave it away....now I got Junkie Fender arrghh Squire to take lessons with,round two got a broken back so I have slowed down enuf I mite actually take in the lessons,starting with STEVIE ray vaughan....and blues thanks always loved Zep for the hook in their music and now I know where it comes from wow that is technical playing super technical,good that in still hyperactive hah hah hah thanks great video nice job on the presentation....kept it fun...piece.
Justin Gilles Not enough people (including other musicians) realize that. So many people rely on the drummer to just keep time and dont treat it like a true instrument.
Production and tuning are immaterial as no matter what drumkit is there, if Bonham plays it, you will know. His style that he has, is his own personal touch and no once can have it but Bonham.
I love this concept! I was trying to use the same percentage thing as it applies to the high-hat with my girlfriend. I told her, "you have so many more options than opened or closed, it's like a dimmer switch"! Anyway, I learned 50 ways to leave your lover by watching YOUR video...Drumeo had me confused. My girl refers to you as "the guy with the shaky hands" (no ill will intended, mine shake too) she will be happy to see this new video. Keep up the good work Terry, you inspire me!
Living proof that Jack Black and Bilbo Baggins had a child
😂
😂
😂
"Samewise.. hit this shire weed. It is most dopeth"
no he looks more like Brad Pitt in this video.
Dude's a freaking nut, But he is correct.
...a mix between Jack Black and Lewis Black on drums.
Yep, he’s nuts but good and pretty funny 😄
As a listener he makes himself easy to follow... cool style, an American cross of Dudley Moore and Ian Mcshane
You should try playing with him 😀. Sorry Terry. Had to.
passion mate
The way he talk is just like jack black
Like it
Spot on! Now I have to go watch that School of Rock again.
He kinda reminds me of Jack Black too
Kinda looks like JB too
I hear a little Bill Murray!
Looks like a slightly off kilter Quentin Tarantino, sounds like a slightly more centered Jack Black!
Hahahaaa exactly
Btw his presentations are interesting.
Closer to Keller Williams
Mike Northrup Like a Jack Black and Chris Farley love-child!
Looks like a chubby bill Hader, but I'm also seeing a discount Ray Liotta .
Tommy Wiseau definitely getting a bunch of Hader vibes for sure
Bilbo Baggins knows how to play like John Bonham.
I can see him working good tilled earth in Hobbiton.
Bilbo Baggins + Joe Lo Truglio + Jack Black
😂😂😂
"His touch, his feel, his fills, his taste" uh we're still talking about drums right?
that's how real music become hits..ppl who play others comps are robots.real music is made from real emotion and feeln..
@@rickymarino1208 The joke went right over your head apparently
Ricky Marino r/woooosh
@@rickymarino1208 lol
@@johnnybgoode2333 oh damn, haha, spose it did. Ma bad
jack black & bill hader had a lovechild. this man is that lovechild.
With a little ray Liotta
And some cocaine

Glad you mentioned JP’s production. Everyone leaves that out.
leon Edwards I totally agree with you. There wasn’t a single weak link in this band.
Lol
@@mattmarkus4868 lol lol
Sylvain Paquette what’s funny
I don’t think jpj produced any zeppelin records

Thank you, Keith!
wonder if bill burr has checked this guy out
Andrew Arena Yees!!! #BillBurr #BillBurr #BillBurr
If there is another School of Rock, you need to be the teacher.
Terry, I love watching you. Your love of music and your enthusiasm is contagious. Keep them coming.
I don’t think there is anyone on the planet who understands and can explain the Bonham mythology like Terry, I just don’t.
Thanks LW!
FANTASTIC !!!!!!!
I’ve never wanted to jam with someone so much
Nicely exaggerated examples of that murky, ethereal zone between straight 8ths and full-on jazz triplets. Great video! Thanks BZ.
Never been more entertained by such a niche concept. Bravo !
I dig this guy’s style in explanations. Far from boring. Thumbs up
Subscribed. Why can’t more RUclips music teachers be this guy
PIlotrcm Because alot of the other teachers spent too much time in study at college music theory getting dumber than more skillfull at the feel of musical rythmn. ...Nate Smith 80/20 on RUclips is a prime example of "educational" judgemental puppetry to the system
I just love his energy, he seems full of life. I miss that in people. Cheers
Agreed.
Who did I just stumble across? dropping sticks, mic cable hanging down, sweat pants... and his personality makes an incredible mix here. I like it.
Dude, you perfectly summed up the swing/shuffle/feel thing that I've tried explaining to people for years. I'm dying laughing at how succinct this explanation is. Thanks, man!
“The Crack of Deliciousness” - pure gold.
I always watch these just to feel the passion in his love for the subject. It lights me up.
You are killing me. Hysterical and technical.”it’s humid down here.” I had to rewind that and was cracking up. Subbed. Keep it up.
I thought this was a SNL skit for the first 30 seconds.
steven targus bahaha right????
Amazing
I was about to post the same thing

This is so great for ppl starting out. I wish we had RUclips when I was new to drums....
I swear that beat at around 5:13, I was like "RAG DOLL, LIVIN' IN THE CITY..." 😆
You are so right. One word can never be enough to explain Bonham's Genius....I also love the intro to "when the levee breaks"....Well done, bravo!

Spot on!!! Another drummer that I think has a fantastic swinging 8th feel is Phil Rudd, I’ve always thought his hihat playing has a real “swaggery” swing to it
Me too Phil is a BEAST!
YES!!! Rudd has that "on a long march" kind of feel.... like you are walking on a journey.
Bonzoleum!
I love you as a man. :-)
Great videos mate!
Thanks SO much for your work.
Terry's the most fun drum teacher on yt
Killer explanation and examples, man. I’ve played for 35+ years, and it wasn’t until about the last 15 that I have purposely/consciously worked on pushing or dragging the upbeat.

This guy is just pure energy
“ ...it’s humid down here...” I feel a bad moon rising .
I love this dude,..He's right on the mark,listening to Bonham puts me in another dimension.
best drum lesson video ever
I don't know why, but at 4:55 I'm laughing my ass off lol, I can't stop watching that part lol

You, Sir, are the best! Best RUclips channel out there!
Great vid - thanks for this! Very helpful!
So much enthusiasm! I like it!
Really great explanation of his brilliance. It seems simple, yet so hard to pull off! I also laughed my ass off your so funny....
I learn things and you make me laugh..you sir are awesome
Is that Herb from WKRP in Cincinnati?
Lol! All he needs is a plaid leisure suit.
Chugalicious! Great concept and post. Keep up the good work!
You are obnoxiously awesome. Feel. It is everything.
“...there it lies a thread of swing, but not like SPANGALANG...” lolol 😂 🤣
Do you know what I mean?!
This feels like an old SNL skit.
No Coke-Pepsi!
Needs more cowbell

BONHAMENON- nice, Bouncing!!!
Dude...you’re the best. Thank you for these videos
This dude is so wacky i absolutely love it
Very good man! Has anyone ever told you you look like Herb Tarlek on WKRP?.
This dude is gonna hit a mil real fuggin quick. He could make calculus interesting.
Good God! Whole Lotta Love. Never gets old. Great vid Terry!
Finally, a video on this! I've noticed this for a while and how it relates to Bonzo's greatness. Although, I think it is most prevelant in his cave man fills.
This guy is awesome. God I needed this entertainment today.....
Terry reminds me of Roddy Piper the way he goes about it.
Love your vids brother, Bonham rules
"Put some funk into it!" "Jazz it up!" That's what Bonham did. It's normal shit, really. But it was new to squares.
I love this guy...really passionate
brilliant,more videos please.
You had me at "AAAHH" @ 3:42 (subscribed AAAHH!)
You’re awesome. Always.
Get this man 100,000 subscribers
The best is the way you go into squaresville robot businessman mode to show how stupid strict eight playing is. Love it.
Thank you for putting into words the boogie of Bonham
Since he was self taught I believe that has a lot to do with his feel and timing........just my opinion.
James Hershey Sr .. Gene Krupa 👍🏼
Love it. Thanks!

He's trying so hard to explain the unexplainable!!
Great lesson!
I’m still working on that CHUGGALUGGA feelin’ and by the looks of these comments, most of the viewers should be as well! Keep on groovin

Hank Kimble's (from Green Acre) grandson. All the hesitations, feints, backtracks-- and More!
Wow crazy sweat pants brilliant mind!!
He's spot on. I always like to think of a beat as a space, not something you hear. Play in the space.
Justin Gilles Not enough people (including other musicians) realize that. So many people rely on the drummer to just keep time and dont treat it like a true instrument.
by far so much more intrigued by this mans charisma than the drumming
