So. I'm a 57 year old dude that started with an electronic kit at the beginning of the pandemic. I got the basic beats down with that then bought a big kit from Sweetwater.
With your awesome teaching ability and my perseverance with wanting to learn drums at this age has now become a reality! Since December of 2020 i have been playing every day for 2 hours a day and weekends probably 10 hours. I can now play stairway to heaven and you made that possible for me! Sorry for the long ass comment but I'm so excited about this dream becoming a reality! Thank you Terry Keating! You rock🥁🥁🥁
Patrick that's OUTSTANDING!!! Thank you very much for your post and for digging the channel!
Love the breakdowns! You and George are👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Those toms sound like absolute cannons!
Rad lesson. Looking forward to working on this iconic fill. Thanks for taking the time to break it down.
I love your teaching style. Even this 48 year old drummer getting back into it can follow along. Your videos help a lot with technique.
Thank you Hash!
Excellent. I am sure beginner beginners enjoy someone who actually goes through everything extremely thoroughly. For someone a little more versed in music theory, just had to fast-forward here and there. Keep it up! You're a great teacher!
Loved watching you teach this fill! The slight delay of the kick drum after the floor tom is the right way to play it! I’ve played it for many years a little off. Thank you!
KILLER groove and you nailed it Bro
Thanks James!
I love his slow motion talk
I started watching this thinking 23 minutes would be way too long for a fill. It was really perfect though. I won't get behind my kit until tomorrow morning but I think I'm going to be able to play this from memory now. Thanks so much for all the detail.
This is awesome. Thank you for sharing your talent!
Your lessons and how you break things down are so excellent!
Thank you Jamie- stay well!
Thank you so much for breaking down this most vital drum fill! You are a drummers best friend!
dude your vids make me so happy, I wish I had a drum set to become a full on drummer, but I'll settle learning from you until I make enough money to have a sound proofed room in an apartment building
saedt you could also purchase an electric drum kit. I have one myself because I live in an apartment. You can get good quality ones and you can turn the volume down
ragdollpheonixfeath3r yeah I thought about that, I might go for that after a while, I recently got drum sticks and will probably be practicing on books when nobody is around since even the tapping is loud in a tiny apartment heh. I fuck around on the drums during practice breaks with the band, that helps too :> so there's slow progress hehe
Edit: sorry for the rant lol
@@saedt did you get one? 👀
Best drum scatter on YT. It's not close.
Mad as a box of frogs !!!!!
I always learn a lot when you don't get side tracked! Great job!
Thank you SG!!
Perfect, thank you. Cheers
Just want to express my appreciation for your vids Terry - love the way you break it all down for us to understand
Thank you, David!
Excellent, helped me a lot. This is one of the fills ive been playing wrong for years...I'm 51 bout time I learned it :D. Thx again.
I love how you break it down!! So helpful 🙏‼️
Terry you are the man! ty for sharing with us your work of passion for this drum fills... the way that you explain that is only done by a man who love what he do. Greetings from Brazil...
Brilliant lesson 🙏
Thanks Kevin!
Great lesson Terry!!
Thanks, this really helped
Omg you are a FAB teacher! I just learned drums 3 months ago and was able to pick up the fill due to your AMAZING lesson!!
Great breakdown of this fill Terry , possibly my favourite song of all time 😉
Thanks Jez!
You teache so good and you are so funny😂😂😂. The real way to learn...in joy. Thanks
love watching you. learns a lot
I'm gonna follow the yellow brick road. Thanks for the explanation, I've been playing the second part of that fill wrong all these years.
Great lessons great master. Thank you so much!
Woooww You are the best master!!!!
Awesome videos !! Great drumming 😎👍🌅
Thanks ZL!!
I learnt most of the zeppelin songs/beats/fills from this channel... just to name a few... Stairway(obviously😂), Kashmir, Fool in the rain... thank you so much for the informative videos and good quality!!!🙌🏼
Thank you very much KD!!
Those toms sound great !
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. This is the best Bonham breakdown I’ve ever seen. Wow man. Well done.
George I love your instructional Vids!☺♫♪
Just browsing though your videos, there's so much to gain from your breakdowns! Follow the yellow brick road... Brilliant. You have a way of making sense of some otherwise difficult concepts to grasp. I've been playing since 1982, stopped until 2007 (sang lead for a few years as a teen), started playing in two bands, all self taught. The triplet came naturally to me, but there was always some mental blocks, much of which your instructions seem to unlock very well. Thank you for making these!
Best instructional...just got my dw shell pack and waiting on rack and cymbals. Definitely will be honing my skills with this channel 👍👍
This was great man. Great help😃
John Bonham's drumming techniques are easier said than done. You do a great job of deciphering what he does. I see some of Bonzo's influence on songs like Roseanna, by Toto. I get a similar feeling here.
(Oh, the humanity...)
I just paid a drum instructor $45 to go over that lick I wish I would’ve paid you🤬😡
Great break down
the sound of drums is amazing! this is your best drums I've heard
awesome lesson man. love how you go over and over it for us slow learners lol
Thanks Bazzo!
Wow! I think I had it right, this is a Great breakdown!
natural to crash left, at end ,with sticking! wonder what he did?
The more I listen the more I love your tom sound . I saw Zeppelin in 1972 he was using his Ludwig green sparkle kit and I remember that thunderous sound ,you have nailed it ...hats off.
The hats are actually on. I can see them right there to his left.
Like the upgrade in your recording technology. The lessons sound really good now
Terry wat way do the drums need to be tuned to get that sound loose or tight ? You great fun guy and many thanks from Terry in Ireland
Fantastic! Finally got this fill. Thanks man!
Thank YOU, Stez!!
love the slow-mo! great one sir!
bravissimo!!!
What brand of drums are you using in this vid? Sizes? They sound really good.
That is awesome. You would be a cool drum teacher. Have you seen that awesome video of that little Asian girl playing good times bad times ?
Yes-it's terrific! Zeppelin LIVES ON!!!!
This is the same lick at the end of Rock & Roll on Zeppellin lV, actually. And the drum break in Journey's Separate Ways. And licks in the Steve Gadd drum solo at the end of Aja.
I remember buying my first drum set from snkust music, it was like Terry said, it was like going through the Lord of the rings with hillbillys. Terry we should get together sometime I live in alsip and used to work at Midwest percussion, you remember that place John tom and artey
Thank You very good.
Great lesson man
I finally got it with feel than counting
Honestly Terry, I don’t trust and will not watch any other break down, walk through or instructional how to’s when it comes to Bonzo’s drumming. Great cover of Won’t get fooled again btw. Oh and I’m pretty sure I saw you do white room in honor of Ginger Baker. 👌🏻 long live the Loon!!
jejejeje excelente tutorial =D muy bien explicado Gracias =D
So helpful. You da man.
your the shit guy😂...like not only are you the best teacher you use humour and a simple style...awesome
This is great !! I'm so glad i discovered your channel dude !!
Bumblebee Tuna!
Awesome......
bravo thanks good pationate
Great video! A great fill for you to do a video on would be The live soundtrack version of Stairway at the. 5:35 mark. During, "Your head is humming and it won't go in case you don't know" A beautiful snare roll with open hats.....
Very nice...do you formally teach? What you do for a living...drumming?
This fill is similar to the Black Dog fill @ the end of verse 2 (minus one grouping of notes and the resolving triplets), right?
Yes, very similar.
Great video! Your videos always crack me up!
Bonzo does a very similar fill (if not the same fill) near the end of "Night Flight", but I'm sure you probably already know this. ;)
Since I lead with my right hand most of the time, I play the last bit with the floor tom first instead of the rack tom. Every time I try to do it with my left hand leading, I mess up the triplet because it doesn't quite feel right to me. I just gotta keep practicing those left-handed triplets!
BTW, what's your ride cymbal? I love how it sounds!
Thank you, Wes! The ride here is a 22" Sabian AAX ARENA Medium.

Terry
this same fill is in the rock n roll endind solo? or part of that...
yes, exactly the same fill. he just does it 6 times in he end of rock n roll. the pattern itself is actually a hybrid rudiment called the herta. insanely versatile rudiment that every drummer should know. Dave Grohl makes extensive use out of it in QOTSA's song No One Knows.
Where are you in Chitown, Terry? You da man!
how often are 32nd notes used? I used to play drums and now I'm getting back into it and I only had a more basic foundation of drumming and now I'm watching these videos to see Bonham's techniques that always puzzled me because I only had the basic understanding, so are 32nd notes used often? I've only heard of drummers using triplets when they wanted to fit more notes in outside of 16th notes.
Bonham of course had the ability to squeeze in nice & clean rapid even sounding notes. He didn't seem to do it often, but when he did it was done with great effect (Achilles, for example), or as paper ripping, light buzz roll sounding singles (look at the Supershow footage as well as the Danish TV, where in D&C and How Many More Times he peppers the end of bars with them).
Awesome! I will check those out!
Fun fact this fill was actually in a few live versions from the early 70s (prior to 1973)
Good stuff man. Snare sounds awesome. What is it?
Nicholas Margarite its a one of a kind
Blucrolite ...basically a super phonic painted dark Galaxy blue..
Hope this helps
Regarding the "big fill" in the guitar solo: I've seen people teaching this lately with only a single bass drum stroke after the floor tom and this is just plain wrong (IMO). It is NOT a herta pattern, it is more like a 4-stroke ruff (snare-tom-floor-bass) followed by an extra grace note on the bass drum after each ruff. There are definitely two bass drum notes played there. You can hear this clearly in the Zeppelin song Night Flight, where Bonham plays the exact same fill as in Stairway but the two bass drum strokes are more clearly audible. It's harder to hear on Stairway, but it's definitely there. You can listen to the alternate Sunset Sound mix on the 2014 remaster of the album and here it more clearly as well. Also, the more recent "official" drum transcriptions by both Joe Bergamini ("Drum Techniques of Led Zeppelin: Note for Note Transcriptions of 23 Classic John Bonham Drum Tracks") and Marc Atkinson ("Led Zeppelin - IV Platinum Album Edition: Drum Set Transcriptions") get this right and both show the two bass drum strokes being played. Bonham's style and playing was just too fluid and smooth for there not to have been two bass drum strokes played. Introducing that delay as described here and only playing a single bass drum note feels to me like I'm getting whiplash from just listening to it. This of course is just my opinion, and I do not have access to the isolated multitracks of Bonham's drums on this song, but I am as certain of this as I've ever been of anything. Check out this link for the proper notation of this fill: www.theblackpage.net/technique/bonhamisms
I keep watching these. I’m not a drummer.
Maybe you are.
Nice video!
A question thou, Arent the triplets 32 notes triplets? You count 6 notes per one quarternote in the last part. How Do you get that to be 16notes triplets? :)
"1 an a 2 an a 3 an a 4 an a " are 8th note triplets. "1 an a & an a 2 an a & an a 3 an a & an a 4 an a & an a" are 16th note triplets.
+bonzoleum Yes, youre right (of course) :)
This is something I been wrong about for a long time... I looked it up. So on 8 eightnotes there is 12 eightnotes triplets and so on?
Anyway, keep up the Good work!
Wanted to see the "Live" cover. Says you made unavailable...
Actually the Zep legal team did.
Jack Black's Cousin
Love u
Blupp-bup-bup to you too, fella... (personally, in my mind, it was always, "Biddle-luh-bup biddle-luh-bup biddle-luh-bup biddle-luh-bup boodle-luh-biddle-luh"...)
Bluepralite™!!!
Why’d you make the Stairway covers private?
They're blocked by Warner Chappell... They were anyway-I'll double check...
Here's a live performance when I was playing with the Chicago area Zep band Kashmir. ruclips.net/video/H_e0yVpGS54/видео.html
bonzoleum Thanks Terry. I got to tell you, I’ve been showing my kid your videos (he’s 11) and learning a lot as he continues to get better. He says you remind him of Jack Black. Your style of teaching is definitely entertaining. Thanks again.
Thank you very much TF!!
good moment
Haha great
I know im being defeatist. But i think i give up with these. Every couple of months i come back and see if i can do them and i cant. Im fine playing the fills, i just cant play the ending because the bass out and onto 1 is too fast. My foot just cant play that fast and the triplets makes it more confusing, my feet just do a weird double or im too late and dont hit 1 with the crash.
I think i just have to accept my foot will never be this fast and therefore bonham triplets arent really useable for me as a drum fill unless i get out of them with a flam or something
I am a 68 year old woman and would like to learn to play drums. Is that an impossible dream? Do you teach virtually?
I teach lessons via Zoom. It's never too late to do anything! Do you have a drum set?
@@bonzoleum No I don't. I won't be ready until I move in late this month. In the meantime I can shop for what I need. Will you please make some suggestions? Thank you....
Very good , Must try . THANKS
The expression "Hats off " refers to the fact that you got it right , no reference to the high hats on a drum kit .
Hey, I REALLY don't think he's hitting two kicks at the very end. I used to obsess over this fill as a kid and my instinct was always to play it the way you do but I SWEAR we aren't hearing two kicks at the end of this fill - I really think the last 6 hits, the triplets, are rack, floor, kick, snare, rack, floor, kick/crash.
I think he's striking that huge floor hard enough to where it has a similar sound the kick, fooling is into thinking it's a second kick hit - but it NEVER sits right with my ear, think those are two kicks at the end.
Isn’t this also the ending to solo at the end of Rock And Roll?
Same downward sweep- yes!!
Wow Terry has a way of really complicating things! Nothing like over analyzing something!😄🙄
It ends on the snare on the 4&. That extra tom and kick hit aren't there. :)
This is a three note grouping of sixteenth notes. An odd grouping;
[ 3. ] [ 3. ] [ 3. ] [ 3 ] [ 3 ] [ 3...
1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 e & a
RlR F RlR F RlR F RlR F RlR F R
The uneven 3 flows over the bar line...
:)
isnt the drummer of Toto doing the same ?,sounds like it!
I thought the last part was a sextuplet snare tom bass snare tom bass. Have I been playing it wrong?

Reminds me of Jack Black lol
