ROCK AND ROLL *DRUM SOLO ANALYSIS/BREAKDOWN* KNEBWORTH/COMPARISON
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 апр 2018
- I had a request to examine and demonstrate the ending solo Bonzo played on Rock And Roll from the Knebworth 8/4/79 concert. This video is primarily focused on that , but I also talk a little about how he played the solo on earlier tours. I demonstrate a couple different variations on the triplet theme that he most often favored for the solo.
The Knebworth version is a little different from how he usually played it because he played cross-over triplets, ala Dazed and Confused (coming out of the guitar solo back into the out head) and Moby Dick (end of the drum solo ). It is truly an outstanding version from Bonzo, especially to have in good video quality. He plays eighth notes pretty much consistently throughout the whole song on the snare along with the hihat too. That's the real deal way to do it!
Volume of everything is perfect: drums & voice. And as usual, the snare sounds God-like!
bonzoleum is that a metal shell? What your tuning secret? Sounds amazing
I allready know how to do this. But it took a few years too
Not to mention the echo
After 3 years I finally got the triplet cross over up to speed. Thank you George.
😁👍🏻
That left hand is gold !! So hard to switch up when you where raised with the right lead all your life .... damn !!!
your channel is literally what i have been looking for for so long. All zeppelin content
Thanks man, glad to hear that!
the reverb makes it sound like god is teaching me how to play this, and this is so clean it feels like it too
Thank you!
You and Terry are BADASSES
Wow. That kick and snare sounds amazing.
Dewd that kit sounds exactly like John's.. tuned perfect same tone..your not fucking around man haha!!!!
I’m telling you ..... You and Brian Tichy have that sound D-O-W-N down!! Simply amazing.... The sound is freaking perfect... So good.
at 2:00 what an amazing display of clean chops!
I would like to have access to your teachings when playing drums in the early 1980s. Still, thank you for the chance to see this material today. Thank you so much for sharing knowledge of such value. Greetings from Brazil.
Beautifully explained….it’s so hard to try and walk in someone else’s shoes but possibly, even harder to try and find one’s own voice using what has been learned from those who walked their own path.
Thanks very much
This is Great! Thanks so much for breaking this down clearly. This is the best drum lesson I've had.
I love how you can professionally break it down like that! 👍
Just sheer beauty! So clear and articulate! Thanks George!!
George you guys know by now that I saw him play these endings from my first show in 71 LA Forum right through to my
Last show March 5 in Dallas and I’m here to tell you it’s not like well that’s kinda of how Bonham played it ,or that was really close sounds a lot like him,none of that, what I’m here to tell you is that is John Bonham to a Tee,there is virtually no difference between him and you now from the sticking to the look and feel to the sound you have replicated with your tuning to the drums themselves and that’s about the only way to asses this video period.
Thanks Lynda. I really appreciate that , but you were in the Houses of The Holy for real!!
Beautiful work. Amazing once it's dissected. Drum tuning and playing is spot on. Great job.
thanks !
Mind blowing drum sound
Nice breakdown!! Your snare sounds fantastic!!
This is a gold mine - I love that you have the jazz background to explain Bonham. It is very unique. The reverb sounds killer as well on those drums. Muchas gracias senor!
Wow, George!! You’re knowledge is so in depth and your playing, touch, feel and sound are spot on...perfect. Bravo!!!
Mind blowing analysis as always! Interesting to see the classic hand patterns infused with different bass drum patterns. Sheer genius! Thanks again, George!
You and Terry are so so Gracious.. .. Thanks so very much for all that you guys contribute!!
Being a terrible listener this has helped a lot thanks dude !
Thanks so much for breaking this down! My band just introduced this gem in our set list!
Thanks for the breakdown, I’ll try it out. Nice job.
Great video George...the drums sound fantastic!
George thank you so very much...thank you for sharing ur love and dedication to the skills of the mighty John Bonham....thx
Absolutely outstanding and perfectly explained!
You're doing the Lord's work!
In other words Bonzo rules
Thank You for sharing & you are a Great Teacher !!!
Damn dude, big fan of Bonham, I’ve been playing for over 30 years and all I can say is WOW, you’re very Bonhamalific, if that’s a word, great job !!
Superbly demonstrated.
I think Bonham approves cuz the gong behind you is moving as you play lol. I'm pausing this video over an over trying to get it right thanks for your time. Hey to Terry ✌ he used the kick like a Tom with his triplets and always with the left hand lead
😃👍🏼
Excellent snare sound! 😎
Your bass drum is pushing so much air, your gong is swaying! (or ya got killer AC). Oh, and SICK!!!
That snare!!!!!!!!
George, You're awsome!!! Thanks for the extremely professional, masterfull, wisdom "demonstration"!!!! Going to practice and learn this!!! Thanks!!!(JR-PORTUGAL)
That was pretty awesome!
George, you are the man. 😎 Thanks
Exactly correct all three versions and played perfectly by you George.
Thanks Lynda!
Great sound from your drum kit! Very fluid hand to feet there as well, top quality drumming as per. 🎼👍
Thanks!
Whoa! Bad ass, George! 🤘🏻🥁
I play bass and guitar but always have loved johns playing and his licks on the drums
Hair-raisingly close! Great sound👍
Nice stumbling. Nice job, my friend, for real.
Incredible.
Nice job!!!👍
Thanks for this!
Holy cow. Amazing!!!!!!!!
Great lesson. Thanks alot!!!
Awesome !!
Nice job 😊
hands down one of the cleanest interpretations. well done. less talking please !
You are the man!
Perfect
Awesome!
Wow, great job and smoking chops
Thanks Donald!
man you're great!
Like your Dali Atomicus print.
😁👍🏻 Yes!!!
ABSOLUTELY 💯
Nice. Going through all the youTube Bonham lessons and weeding out the cr*p. Yours is excellent. Righty here. The toughest thing for me is the left-hand lead. Been playing decades and quick/clean as s**t doing the triplets but cannot master the LH lead. I'll even cheat and start in the crossover position RH so I can start descending which is JB's trademark. It's frustrating to "cheat" though. Been working now with metronome slow to train me LH start but it's not easy after decades of playing. On the other hand, I notice a huge development and opening up in my playing just getting in habit of trying to lead LH. I can even flip my kit Lefty from time to time just to fool around and can hold a 4/4 Rock tune together, but starting these triplets LH...well. Your fabulous breakdown of these Live R&R finales is exactly what I'm looking for and is inspiring. Thanks for the inspiration.
Appreciate that...thanks!!
Wow. Drums sound awesome;-0
Thank you!
Been playing for 40 years and i reckon i could just manage that face.
Solid!
I can't keep time tapping my foot so this is mind blowing to see.Now I know what a triplet is.I can't play anything but I've always been more attracted to the drums more then anything else.I can see you are a master of your craft and I know practice makes perfect too.You probably have hundreds of thousands of man hours into it.I would love to know how many years it took you to get to this caliber?I'm sure it's different for everyone because of lifestyle and the time each person has to put in the work.
Ive heard a 100 guys trying to emulate Bonham, but George in my opinion is the best
The gong is shaking in the background with anticipation. "Is it my turn is it my turn? Somebody please hit me already!"
Always great to stop by and learn something new.
Whether you know it already or not, take it and make it your own.
This was great! Thank you for this video.
Also, do you know what the pitch of your drums are tuned at?
Both top, and bottom, by drum. I use DRUMTUNE Pro I think I'm close, but not quite there.
Master, rally good sound and bohan technics. Yo u are doing the things how most be done.perfects.wich one snare drum and drum kit you play?.
Mr bonham's spirit 4:34
insane
Best drumsound ever! What kit is that??😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
thanks for taking the time to break this down. i have to ask you what pedal youre playing. is that a speed king?
Yes...thanks.
Brilliant and fantastic.
Your playing is amazing and your kit sound is ideal.
Thanks very much!
George, I don't know why I have never heard anyone except for myself hear and play the actual drum groove outro to Rock-n-Roll written by John Himself and it is not a 4 beat count as every drum teacher is doing. It is a 5 beat lick..... " SNARE-16" FLOOR TOM, 14" TOM, BASS, BASS I sent it to Bonzoleum and another drum teacher on RUclips but for some reason every body like to play what I call the simplified version of it because it sounds close BUT, if you can't do a very fast double beat with your bass drum then nobody will ever be able to do it properly. When I play the regular Studio ending, people look at me like" Why isn't he playing a whole lot of tripets instead of that quick ending?" I'll tell you why, Because I like the original ending on Led Zeppelin II Album the best. i KNOW IF YOU TRY IT, YOU WOULD BE THE ONLY OTHER PERSON TO PLAY IT RIGHT. MR. BONZOLEUM PLAYS IT CORRECT EXCEPT ALL HE HAS TO DO IS ADD ONE MORE BASS DRUM BEAT TO THE ENDING ON EVERY LICK.. Do you know what I'm talking about?
I just wanted ask the AMBER VISTALITE
IS LOUDER OR THIS DRUM SET WHICH YOUR USING IN THE VIDEO WHICH IS THE CLASSIC MAPLE THERMOGLOSS
I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOUR REPLY
AND I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
TQS
BYE
THAT SNARE
That snare sound died with bonzo and was resurrected into your drum room😲
I would like a video cover for Since I've been loving you version from Madison Square Garden 1973.
That’s the best snare iv ever heard
Thank you!
DAMMMMM!!!! YOU ARE AWSOME!!! WHAT I'D LOVE TO NO MAINLY!!! (HOW AND WHAT DO I NEED TO DO,TO GET THAT SNARE SOUND??) AND DO YA HAVE TO HAVE, ONE MAIN SNARE TO GET THIS AWSOME SOUND??? HOPE TO HEAR FROM YA!! ARE ANYONE WHO KNOWS!! PLEASE!!!
Well, it's a combination of things ... starting with a vintage Ludwig 6.5 x 14 Supraphonic very similar to what Bonham played. The tuning is important. Basically bottom head very tight, top head medium tight. I use 42 strand snare wires. Top head is a coated Emperor, bottom is a clear ambassador. But the main thing is the touch, how you hit the drum and make the rim shot. I also lucked out on the mic'ing in this video . I use a Shure sm 57 on the snare and a condenser overhead. I added some reverb, but the EQ is basically flat.
George, Yore teachin us like henry jabowitz opens the math realm....the UN thanks you...😛
What is the sticking at 0:55, right after the first 2 hits? Your sticks start of so low buzzing. Sounds like 4 even strokes, starting off with a buzz, increasing in volume, with a strong accent on the last hit.. We need to learn that kind of stuff - the special sauce. What rudiment would you recommend to practice to build up to be able to do that, that smoothly? Brian Downey of Thin Lizzy did a lot of that and it adds so much to the songs. Would love to hear how you learned and perfected that. Thank you.
Thanks, its kind of a fast LRRLR...but the first L is very light, a grace note really, followed by the two quick RR ( like triplets) , then the LR which is stronger...the last R is accented.
@@BONHAMOLOGY Thank you!
8:50
******* amazing, how many lifetimes did it take to learn how to do that??
Thanks , appreciate that!
Man.. Thought I could play Zep/Bohnam songs. Now I know I'm wrong!
Bonham kept the tempo, he was not rushing, he played heavy foundation that sounds sometimes like pulling down the tempo.
Actually, the snare sounds very rich in the video. All heads are tuned low that i presume, but everything sounds balanced. I wonder how well Bonzo could beat the double beaters just with his floor tom... 😊
Please do 1973 Madison square garden THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME solo after ROCK N ROLL 🥺
Don't mean to freak you out but the gong moving from 4:38 onward is bizarre... Ghost of Bonham there with you???
wattyboy87 Haha, no spirit of Bonzo, sadly. I had made a splice right there, and had moved the gong a touch just before the cut.
Ahh got ya haha. Great work on this channel. You and Terry. Bonham was my hero when I first started playing years ago. I think I've seen the RAH DVD 100000000000 times. Your cover of We're Gonna Groove is insanely good. Keep up the great work!
Terry has a different way and sounds just like it.
3:40 I guess every pro drummer has his own funny face in the heat of a solo. Must work on mine...
davor maplenik Haha, yeah....I have much worse captured in photos! I look disgusted.
Bonzo studied Buddy Rich. Just say'n
you play the cross over left hand start , is it possible to play it right hand start will it still work
tim churchill it will work but it will give it a bit of a different sound
Hello nick are you connected to george in some way ? or did you just see my comment on youtube and decide to reply to me ?if so thats very kind of you , i sent 2 comments to terry and george no reply , which is odd , i thought i heard george say , that he was naturally a right hander, when John was a left hander , yet on the video george is playing left hand is he ambidextrous, or did he have to work at it , im still baffled how it changes the sound , hopefully it will come to me , probably 2am in the morning when im in bed , there is nothing worse when your waiting on an answer and receiving no reply, so i most appreciate someone with a reply , Are you right hand or left hand nick and can you play this cross over pattern, thanks again for taking the time to reply Tim
No I’m just a viewer of his and I thought I’d let u know because I to hate waiting for replies. I’m naturally a left hand start and have a very difficult time starting with my right hand, but terry and George used the years of experience to master both. Currently I can only play the crossover triplet about three quarters as fast as terry and George.
oh well you've done there job for them . getting back to me thankyou Nick, I think all this fame is getting to George and Terry . There becoming hard to get hold of 😁 😂in the past they'd get back to you . are you from the states or England and what Kit do you play theyve done a great job with the website Tim
I’m from Canada and I play a sonor essential force kit. It’s not what I would’ve picked but it’s what my dad bought me so I’m happy. I’ve only been watching terry and George for a few months so I’ve never tried to reach out to them. Usually when I have a question I just put it it out there and hope the random people of RUclips have an answer
5:17 Looks like you’re dropping a kick *and* a R.
Can you transcribe Tea For One?
I did a play along to it here, you can find it in my videos. I don't write anything out though.
@@BONHAMOLOGY Yeah I looked but I couldn't find anything for TFO.
kkkkkk
I heard that when Jason bonham was born he was switched in the baby unit and the real Jason is George fludas and Jason is George. Conspiracy huh
