Lesson 1 - Foot Technique (John Bonham)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 июл 2009
- Well, after so many of you have asked for me to explain what I'm doing and to show a profile of my bass drum technique I have finally done both requests in one vid. If you have questions about anything, be sure to ask. I hope you benefit from this in some way.
I'd like to stress that this technique is not the formal or conventional way to execute the "heel toe" technique, my version, (from what I've seen Bonham played this way too), is an offspring and is meant for an unported bass drum. A ported one is not as "fussy" and burying the beater has no consequences to the sound.

i almost cryied when i saw all those led zepelin musics being played flawlessly. you are the guy
you got some mad skills with the kick drum there homie
+bub yacobozzi
right on ma man
What do you think of bonzoleum?
charlie wired bonzoleum plays very accurately but he doesn't have the feel and power of bonham
He is on A LOT of meth
He is talking about beaters. I don't know what he likes to beat too but I luv to beat to female wrestling videos. In fact, I can do a triple stroke on ma beater while watching onyx wrestling cali logan. Owoooooo time to do some beating.
12 years later and I still go back to your vids Dan. Love them!!
This was one of the videos that actually helped me i saw this video 8 years back when i was just starting to play drums
It's got that hypnotizing effect everytime his face pops up on the screen.
"Hope you enjoyed my first lesson." We did!

You are my go to man when I need to refresh on Bonham techniques. Your instructions and direction are top shelf.
jimmie zarate Thanks for watching!
You are putting three ghost notes in Fool in The Rain. The riddle has been solved! Thank you Dan. No thank you Drumeoyoyo
Thanks for watching!
Drumeo’s kinda wack
this video is hypnotizing.
Damn dude you're killing it. 2:21 and the sounds you're making following it is out of this world.
Bonham would be proud of you.
1:57 i keep coming back to listen to this. so epic!
Yeah. Me too!!
is your fist lesson supposed to end in me crying into my hands?
TheDefeatest Lol !!! Funny shit !!!
"junk~junkie"
TheDefeatest It is all about practice
😀
This is probably one of the most informative visually and verbally series of vids I've seen in a long ass time. Keep 'em coming!!
It’s interesting how too many drummers on the internet explain things too complex . This is so great as the approach is uncomplicated. Of course , we have to practice. No fairy dust or secrets.
This will set a lot of new drummers on the right path. Good job, sir.
Dude you're sick. Guitar player of 28 years and that's the first time I've ever "seen" that done. Very few players can do it right. Great instruction too.
There's a huge difference between loving a sound and knowing how to produce this beloved sound. I'm not giving you a scoop but I feel precisely this truth watching this foot doing it's amazing job.
Damn Danzo! This lesson is like JB is alive and well teaching his groove to the Drummers that inspire to groove like him. Thank you so much my friend! My search is over! This is all I need now. I wasted no time on my kit and nailed the triplet shuffle even better then I used to attack the bass end.
Ludwig sound, right ? Enjoyed your lesson a lot. You're not only a great drummer but an excellent teacher too. More lessons please... I have been a You Tube avid fan but have never, ever, subscribed for anybody. You're the first. That is how much I like your style of drumming. Thank you.
I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this for the past month and I was so close to figuring it out, but no matter what I did I couldn’t play it consistently. This video has given me the final piece I was missing-the slight twist of the foot-and I cannot thank you enough for that.
Awesome to hear!!
I searched this lesson only to see if a detail I had long self thought and realised myself in my youth years of studying this John Bonham groove was also taught and shown here by an online tutor! My finding? Yes! His drummer teaches exactly the refined detail of lifting the beater off the head when playing this. Why should I care about this though? It's an enormous aspect behind the quality of the sound of the bass drum part within the piece. Bigger, rounder and fuller. Afforded by technical control and not post edit studio manipulation. Manipulation not around at the time of Bonham's recording life. a manipulation that can afford short cutting modern drummers an easier performance just like auto tune can singers today. This teacher doesn't miss this nor dismisses this aspect. Great lesson and great attention to detail. I recommend and I apologize for seeking flaw initially. I'm protective of this beat and what it means to my personal development, to have this detail realised and encouraged by this drummer here makes me feel more part of the community musically value wise and I'm happy to have enjoyed watching this lesson and demonstration by this teacher
i dont have a any musical talent but watching these videos show how talent these drummers are
I'm a bassist (not a failed guitarist, but a real bassist), so I'm always obsessed with drums and beat grooves, and kick patterns. You have some seriously mad kick skills. I wish I could play bass for a drummer like you, brother.
My man, you sound like a great player and I wish we could jam together. Thanks and greets from Canada!
At last, another drummer that actually knows how to play Bonham's stuff correctly! There are too many people out there playing it wrong, so hopefully some of them see your vids and correct the mistakes and pay the man and his work with the respect it deserves. I have been a Zep fan literally since my earliest memories, cause my father was a huge fan, and John is the reason I fell in love with drums in the first place.
GOD DAMN .. FINALLY a drum video where the vlogger goes down to brass tacks from second one. . No 25 minutes of explaining the technique or the position of the foot paralell to the floor , just a lil cameo when something needed explaining .
Heel & Toe never sounds emphatic or carries the same volume from beat to beat. It can be fast but it is sloppy (in my experience) Your first pass with pure speed direct vertical motion , man THAT is the way to do it BY THE BOOK
MY MAN - YOU got the teaching touch and one hell of a right foot!
THANK YOU
Dude.when page , plant and jones do a reunion, they need to call you!
@@ericholloway5022 jason cant play as good as his father..but this guy did. His sound is really same as john.
that is hard, but I can get there with practice, tons of practice
yes, you can achieve it!
After watching many videos pertaining to bass drum technique I've finally found someone who plays like I do. Thanks for setting the record straight!-BC
I like your tutorial. No long discussion or meaningless philosophying.
Just expert technique demonstrated so that we can watch and learn. Well done and thanks.
Thanks a lot for your comments and for watching!
Now, that's what I call drumming. That's why drum machines are no competition for the real thing, all right!
cool, thanks!
@Pen Umbra I understand your point and like and use both (Yes in some music the machine is better for machine like feeling especially in electronic music but I prefer live music if forced to choose like the ultimate drummer John Henry Bonham!
if this is the first lesson, i wanna see No 99
man that is sooo in time that is what im thriving for right now
every time I start to tell myself I'm a great drummer, I'm humbled...
your fills and transitions are insane. I grew up playing an old ludwig kick with a leather strap. Couldn't afford a new one, so just trained obsessively. I got quick... but not that quick. You're a world class drummer brutha.
i thank you very much!
Well done! Nike should be paying you for product placement! LOL
Imagine Bonham's double bass if Zep was heavy metal. This is some sweet drum work too.
I put this video on and I'm not even watching it...just love the sound of your bass drum!!! :D Keep these videos coming, they are a tremendous help :-)
Excellent. Thanks. My hand technique has improved dramatically thanks to working on Tommy Igoe’s approach.
I’ve seen this technique used before by many & it has various names . But like Tommy Igoe explains hand technique- you do the same with a simple & reductive approach. Thanks so very much for your excellent work.
The only one who's playing manner comes close with bonzo's groove
Geo Patrioti thanks
I have to agree.
man you have one hell of a foot! great technique! love it! more please....
Thank you!
Hope you make more vids with foot cam
Notice when "Immigrant Song" is slowed down, James Brown would be proud. Pure funk. Keep up!
Can't think you enough for posting this; my band just started working on "Immigrant Song," and I want to play it as authentically as possible. This was a tremendous help;
damn I've been doing this for a couple years and I didn't even know it was a john bonham thing!
Good info, but you talk like your in a trance..hypnotized!
I like THAT .... none of that "I am a super-star vlogger wishing I was the host of a game show" down to business.....
@@mickavellian yeah man, an original person for once!
i’m in the middle of the insane Jojo Mayer kick drum video and this feels like a perfect encapsulation of the same general information. thank you!
This technique is exactly what naturally always have been doing. Whatching the video to remember good 'ol times... you have a very nice feeling btw
For sure, it is an old technique that has been forgotten because of ported reso heads. Thank you!
Great Control.
wow, i felt like listening to Bonzo
I'm curious how many people after watching this video, sat down behind their drums and tried 2 do that .... Well I've been trying to do that shit since the damn late 70's and still can't Fucken do it..... You make that look so easy man... Love the video
Dan....Really great tutorial. It's been on my mind (like a golfer's yips) that my seat, posture and leg angle have been inhibiting my bass drum technique. Your reply to the post on thigh angle is a simple tip on body mechanics that has really helped. Thanks.....
Hope you enjoyed my first lesson... holy shit
it's only the first one...
lol
Michiaki 6 exactly. lol
Lesson 2 is "How to walk on water"
I'm 5' 10" and my throne height is set so my thigh is almost parallel to the ground, just a little higher. If you get sore try and raise your throne height. I think you're sitting too low from the soreness you described.
wow you certainly got Bonhams style going on dude!!!
After watching a bunch of single bass technique videos I finally found someone who plays like I do. Thanks for taking the time to PROPERLY express bass drum technique- BC
like if you scream : aaaaaaaaaah aah aaaaaaaaah aah !!
hahahahahahaha that is exactly what i did !
Hahahahha
Wtaf lmfao how did you know
mad kick skills.
I appreciate that you've taken the time to make this video.
Learning these techniques have improved my playing immensely. Thanks.
Peace from Seattle.
absolutely amazing my friend. The man would be proud of you
"This is by no means the easiest method to play bass drum." NO SHIT!!
One curiosity, what type of pedal are you using in the video?
Pearl Eliminator
OMG THIS IS SO GROOVY. Can't stop listening to this. And I'm not even a drummer lol.
cool
I love those drum beats you play from 2:20 to the end of the video, i love how you just keep the bass drum at a constant rythm and play the snare at the same time
It really feels like John Bonham's playing style
And it also reminds me of one of his famous solos after Moby Dick
Hey Dan, I was wondering if you'd mind donating me a few stem cells..?
I wanna try and grow a new pair of your legs...
lol, good one...sure any time!
Dandroid5000 HAAAAAAA !!!!!! FUNNY SHIT !!!!
"junk~junkie"
Of all of the drummers here on RUclips my friend, you are absolute KING when it comes to playing Bohnom
wow probably the best bass drum technique videos i have seen on youtube
Awesome stuff. I like how you always encourage the player to listen to how the individual beats sound in a lick, to go slow and get the placement right, and especially the importance of rests versus beats.
wow, i dont play drums, nor any instrument, but my right leg wont stop.. love this
now my left leg, hahaha, music is great!
this is your sign to go to your local guitar center and pick up a pair of sticks and a practice pad, go for it dude!
Great work. Nice teaching method. You've got great chops. I wish I had someone like you teaching me when I was young.
Thanks for the compliments!
You've got a great feel. It's easy to understand and you get to the ESSENCE of a technique which is missing from so many videos, especially those about Bonham. Totally infectious, it's now one of my favorite videos.
I enjoyed this. I already use these techniques . But at least someones shining light on this subject on RUclips.
Nice!
Really like the way you put that together. Most would have taken 5 times as long and gotten only half of that information across. Very good.
Yes, I like to keep it short and to the point. Being redundant is only there to occupy time. The redundancy should be left up to the student when practicing.
You Are so gifted my friend. If I could just stop my right hand from wanting to do what my right foot is doing !! You make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing !!
Blessings,
Brian
That is the first real Bonham style technique on Kick I've seen and it was most useful. Thank you
Thanks!
From the reaction I've been getting on my first lesson vid, I will have to do more.
dude you are the man. love the way you break it down in different speeds. you point out what your doing verbally real well. thanks man.
It's something, how a video I watched about a decade ago. I can keep returning through all them years and it still has the same "awe" factor to the method and sound. Think I'm going to hang-up my pedals... lol
it's amazing how much you can learn from Bonzo. his triplelets, foot technic, his shuffle, etc.
Excellent form sir, and doesn't need the double beater to create the double bass sound, fantastic!
Thank you kindly!
These are my new favourite Drumming videos!
I am convinced that with these instructional videos, you are helping a LOT of young aspiring drummers! Heck, even if I know most of the stuff you explain, you inspire me with that gorgeous Bonham sound and technique !! Keep it up!
You're the man. Best Bonham playing I've ever heard.
I've tried every way I could possibly think of to see all your lessons. I used your name, GrooveDrummin, but all that comes up is Drumeo. It's almost as if they intentionally created so many Bonham lessons to try to bury you in the RUclips World. Not to be rude but if they did, there's a damn good reason why: You are a Master Drummer, Drumeo is a Corporate entity that just want to make a profit with generally white baby faced kids trying to play like Bonham and others. I'm sure they are sponsored by Tama or some other big corporate entity that makes drums. You sir are the real deal. You are a one man entity.
really, i wasn't aware of this...that's ok, so long as I have you guys as my fans!
I love your drumming!! Bring it on home baby!!!!
Wow, nice articulation with that foot. Those beats take on such a different meaning, hearing that foot speaking with such meaning!
Thanks!!
@Grundibular
Perception is key here because the strokes are definitely controlled and my foot is not resisting, it's actually bouncing with the pedal...unlike your observations. It's ok, if that's what you think but i'm sharing a sought after technique and may be misunderstood by a few.
drummers are really something else! From a friend bassist
Oh a band I was in when I was younger my friendJohn Canata, who has passed away, now he could play anything on the drums especially Zepplin I love the triple drum bass sound technique. Great video.
Sad to see many of your videos removed for copyright problems. You're the best! Really enjoy your videos.
@GrooveDrummin I think these old stories are great and thank you for starting it by sharing yours. My next goal is to get my right foot under control like yours. Those broken triplets with one bass pedal is the Holy Grail for drummers!
"This is by no means the easiest method to play bass drum..."
LOL. Awesome. This is so inspiring seeing this.
Fine technique !!! Nice showed !!! That's, what I was looking for ! Thank you for uploading ! Very helpful for practice and guidance !! GREETINGS, Michael from Germany
COOL --greets from Canada
13 years later, and still some of the beefiest chops ever
Beautiful. Liked seeing the angle of your foot and the lift of the heel off the floor.
Glad you liked it!
Yes, it is. I find it dampens the sound killing most of the overtones but does not affect the feel at all. Thank you.
@GrooveDrummin I had a set of cheap bongos my sister gave me and used wooden chop sticks for my first drum set. I was desperate as well...My parents still didn't see my love for the drums so it wasn't until I was an adult that I bought my own set. I did find that the desks at school, the ones with a flip up lid, had a very cool sound and I did a lot of hand drumming on those. Anything that I could hit to make the drum sound satisfied my need!
Excellent video! I like your teaching technique. For those of us who are visual learners this type of instructional demonstration is invaluable. Thanks!
I was very impressed and enjoyed it thoroughly! Mad skills!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent drummer, excellent teacher.
I've seen people using lots of reverb to get this sound. This is just pure technique and it's beautiful.
cool, thank you so much!
@funkydrummer14
Thanks for watching. That's a nice kit you have there. You can easily achieve the sound you want, try this...
coated single ply batter with a falam pad tensioned medium-loose, unported reso single ply tuned a little tighter than batter. For muffling use a felt strip on either side and nothing inside. This should give you the Morello sound.
Awesome tutorial. Great instructional design and playing. To the point and descriptive.
Thanks Dan. It almost seems like a controlled slap and quickly catching the rebound
+Plydrms
Yes, that is the essence.
