Just got my first set of drums for my 40th birthday. Going to have to get cracking to learn every Zep tune before I am too old. Great job. I am sure I will be spending more time watching your videos. Kudos
Awesome. For some reason, my favorite songs by Led Zeppelin (and most bands) are usually their simplest technique wise. Night Flight is definitely one of my favorites, and I'm pretty sure the second disc of Physical Graffiti is my favorite stuff from Led Zeppelin. A thing that most people forget about Bonham is that he played for the song and not himself. People can knock some of his simpler drumming on later stuff, but he was just playing to add to the song and not for showing off's sake.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed how cool that opening fill was and I will practice it again and its one of the coolest in rock. And yes, very true that drummers follow a distinguishing fill or pattern at some era in their career and that changes overtime. I also practice that paradidly fill from Fool in the Rain. JB's drumming might seem sloppy compared to many of the drumming today but I would always look up to guys like him than those who would drown music with too much technique.
love your videos. I hate when the teacher is some master and makes it seem really easy no matter what. your stuff is somewhat easy but you explain it well and with a good camera angle. Keep 'em coming!
That was a great video! I have always loved that song particularly the drum intro. Never saw it broken down like that before but I understand what he was getting at!
You are so true with a lot of things you said. A lot of drummers today focus on technique and can do monstrous things but I think they kinda lose style with too much technique so I draw inspirations from guys like Bonzo, Keith Moon and Ringo, not from guys like Cobus. When I heard that opening fill of Night Flight, I immediately wanted to copy it but I can't. I think Bonzo didn't memorized that fill and it just came magically at that moment when they recorded this.
FYI:Their 4th LP is known as "Zeppelin 4" recorded in 1971....same year they did "Led Zeppelin 3"."Physical Graffiti" was recorded in 1975 after "Houses of the Holy"(1973)Then of course after "Graffiti" followed "Presence" in 1976.
Yo my man, that is not even close to what John Bonham is doing. If he does in fact put both hands on the High Hatch on the intro as soon as it goes into that beat it’s one hand, if you listen to Bernard Purdie and Clyde Stubblefield and actually know where bottoms coming from you wouldn’t make this mistake
