Wish I'd learned the double shuffle before four way independence. After all the ghosting and now shuffling Bonhamville sounds like THE place to visit. Thank you, George.
a song that I particularly love, by bonzo, is DARLENE....from CODA. I don't know why, but the drum score, it drives me crazy. a greetings from Italy ✌👋
🎼Weeeeell that's all right, ah-mama That's all right fah you.🎶 🎼Since you been go-huuun, I got 🎵 the Minnesota Blues🎶 I was swinging it in my head, baby.
Thanks for such a concise yet informative shuffle video. Nothing new here, but you put it together so well that it made me wish you had been my drum teacher when I was a kid!
oh man dont we all wish we had access to George as a drum teacher early in our careers !! my playing would be so much better. it might even be average up from bad!
At 11:52 for some reason I had the sudden urge to belt out, “IIIII HAAAAAVE BIIIIIIIRRRRRDS THAT WHISTLE! AND I HAVE BIIIIIIIIIIRRRRDS THAT SAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNG!” :)
I have been dreaming with exactly that drum set. Where and how did you find it? All the drum set I have found on sale, do not have those kind of holders from the kick drum, which are the ones that bonzo used in 1969.
I bought the bass drum , tom and 18 together. There was a different mount on the kick, much lower, which I removed. I found a Ludwig rail mount and installed it myself later. The 16 I also found about 4 months after I got the other 3 pieces. Thermogloss kits , especially a 26 are very hard to find .
Great stuff! yeah it is hard doing a shuffle off the rim on a tom..not much bounce unless you can accurately hit with the tip every time. I used to play in country bands back in the 90's and I played my fair share of shuffles.I love that kit George.
Hey Mr. Mayor!! Is that a Speed King you’re using? I seem to remember that you were fond of a CAMCO pedal, almost from the same era. How do you like the feel and response of the Squeak King in comparison? Another Great video. Thanks so much for the lessons. I set my IPAD up pretty much as you have, and follow along. They’ve really helped with my feel and dynamics ! Cheers, Mayor!!
Really liked this video, very educational. Makes me wonder, are you planning on making any tutorial series on Patreon or some other site, cause I for sure would buy that.
thank you. I have been thinking I should do something more to monetize during these times, with no gigs, no work! I would have to be more consistent and productive!
@@BONHAMOLOGY I hear things are still pretty difficult over there , covid, jobs, police brutality, trump. Luckily here in Greece it's not that bad yet. I hope everything turns out fine. I'm pretty sure people from this channel and not only would love to see a George Fludas Patreon Page or something like that.
@@Hercules_Mavromatis Thank you Stathis, I am going to start looking into it. PFoZ has a Patreon page but we don't really do tutorial / demo type stuff. Be well!
You’re awesome bro. I’ve tried to learn more Bonham groves by watching you. One day can you do a video on your ergonomics. Like I put my right crash more to the left Covering the ride. Since we never play the right side of the ride, it allows the right crash to be more in front of you. Why do you put yours so far the the right?
I don't really know, I just set up the way it feels natural to me. I like to have the edge a little on the flat side , not angled too much, so that I have good contact on the crash, so it's basically set pretty much like Bonham...I suppose I was trying to emulate him as a teenager and I got used to it. Sometimes I will move the cymbal a little closer over the ride but the reach really isn't much at all our of the way as it is.
I'm just starting out and i'm wondering can i remove all of my snare wires. I hate that sound. I don't wanna sound like a marching drummer if you know what I mean. What would you recommend?
You can’t remove all the snares otherwise your snare drum will turn into tom. Instead, try loosing the snares and tightening them back up until you like how it sounds. Also look up tuning videos to help you get the sound you’re after.
George kicking ass and taking names in Bonhamville!!!!
He even has his shuffling slippers on!
Thanks for this video!!!.It's loaded with great chops!!! Thanks GEORGE😎
Thank you! Thank you!
good stuff man ...................love it George.
I felt my forearm muscles burning just watching lol. Love the Shuffles
Thank you for posting George; very appreciative
It's never about George, it's about the beat. The beat is The Standard. Thanks, George, banked this to learn the swing which I am appalling at.
Great lesson George thank you for this
Thanks Bob
Superb demonstrations of these shuffles!
Hi George,thank you so much for this wonderful shuffle lesson. Your touch and your sound is a joy to listen and learn from. See ya again 👏🏻
Jus discovered your channel. Love it.
Great Lesson! It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)!!!! Thank You!
That's right!! 😁👊🏼

Thanks DAG...It's always best to crawl before you walk, before you run, etc...
2 thumbs down? Must be jealous. Thank you George.
Awesome as always!
George,what a great video/ lesson it was like watching and listening to John Bonham Chris Layton and Joe Morello all playing at the same time. WOW.
haha, well they are three bad dudes and left an influence. thanks Lynda!
George I’m adding your name to that ring of honor and I’m confident that the three previously mentioned would concur.

As always you kick ass!!! Thanks!!
Thank you for another great lesson!
🎼Weeeeell that's all right, ah-mama
That's all right fah you.🎶
🎼Since you been go-huuun,
I got 🎵 the Minnesota Blues🎶
I was swinging it in my head, baby.
Yes!!!
That was awesome ... thank you George!
Loved the PFOZ Tshirt ... need to go order one!
Please do!! 😁 Thanks Alan !
@@BONHAMOLOGY - And Done! Thanks George!
Love dude as always learn so much from you over time bottom was the best thank Cheers
NIce! Have you had a chance to check out the new reissue Promuco JB signature sticks yet?
8:37 Sick as hell
I was just about to make the exact same comment. I watched that part about 20 times on its own.
Thank you sir
Thanks George!
There’s not enough shuffle in today’s music
Agreed!
Brilliant!
Thanks for such a concise yet informative shuffle video. Nothing new here, but you put it together so well that it made me wish you had been my drum teacher when I was a kid!
Thanks Luke.

This was really neat George; thanks!
Cheers, thanks Steve!
Loved the brief jazz background here. Very educative. On studio albums, is rock and roll the only instance of this sort of shuffle?
At 11:52 for some reason I had the sudden urge to belt out, “IIIII HAAAAAVE BIIIIIIIRRRRRDS THAT WHISTLE! AND I HAVE BIIIIIIIIIIRRRRDS THAT SAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNG!” :)
George, how about making a video of The Rain Song? I guess the only brush work Bonzo did with Zep.
Thanks a lot from Brazil.
I did a cover of it , but not a tutorial. It's posted on my channel under the Houses Of The Holy Playlist
@@BONHAMOLOGY ok I'll find it. thanks again and keep going.🤘❤
A great video..
Must be 2 people are unable to shuffle in Bonhamville
Thank you, Rich

What kind of ride cymbal are you using here? Sounds great. Your videos are very inspiring thank you.
It's the old vintage Paiste Giant Beat 24...ala Bonham. Thanks!

Once you get good enough you can play any drum set that’s close enough. Not saying I’m there yet...
Ok cool. I guess my OSD is just obsessed with ergonomics. I wish one day you or Terry would talk about why Bonham set up the set the way he did.
I think Lee Kerslake played something similar in Uriah Heep’s Easy Livin’.
Yeah...good one!
George to be honest, the last video you posted of Bonham's solo. I thought you were going to do the cover, the whole 16 minutes haha.
Ha! That's going to take a while!
@@BONHAMOLOGY Your the Man to do it!
I think you should be the LZ drummer instead of Jason. I guess that dirigible has flown, though.😘😜
