- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Here is a play along on the new RCI Starlite kit. The audio is from Baton Rouge Feb 28 1975. This is a good version, despite Rob's voice being pretty rough. The solo sections are taken at a very brisk clip!
About the kit:
26x14, 14x10 (12 lugs),16x16, 18x16 RCI Starlite Super Duty acrylic shells, with Ludwig classic lugs, mounts, claws and t-rods, repro pointy badges, vintage Ludwig rail mount. Snare is a mid 70's 6.5x14 Ludwig 402 Supraphonic.
RCI has been making high quality acrylic shells for nearly 20 years. RCI Super Duty shells are made in America. They feature a welded (not glued) seam, 45 degree glass cut edges, and are scratch and impact resistant. They are very resonant and feature exceptional projection and tone.
Check out their website here for more info. www.rcistarlite...

The studio version of this is in my opinion Led Zeppelin’s greatest studio performance.
Just go on tour with the rest of the members of Led Zeppelin.
The man the legend George Fludas ❤👍 love the new kit.
Sorry George, just now I noticed that this is a live version.
You do what others don't even suspect in terms of rhythms of LZ.
Thanks once again.
Great job, man! Impossible to distinguish!
Those RCIs sound glorious! Thanks Professor!!!
Just subscribed! Holy shit that was amazing! I would love to jam with you ! lol. you know how to "deliver the mail" nice drum kit!
New subscriber (and drummer). My fav band and enjoying what I am hearing.
Only a drummer like you can make those Vistie's sing like that George!! Bravo !!
BONHAM WAS A FUNKY CAT....ANYONE ELSE MISS BONZO???? GREAT JOB HERE. THAT KIT IS LIKE CANDY.
Great George!!!! , was wondering if you will ever do an Achilles Last Stand cover from either June 21st or June 22 in LA!!
I'll try to do that at some point
Incredible performance.... also terrific drum sound, those drums and cymbals sound like the seventies.... Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
The 70s ruled, big open projecting sound all around the kit.
Wow George you really captured Bonham in this live version. Bonham really added some marvellous little changes to this song, showing just how good he was as a drummer. Dont think anyone except you George couldve pulled this off. Awesome job. Bonham was one of a kind for sure.
Thanks!
The live 1975 performance on Zeps DVD was awesome. I remember hearing Bonham nailing those floor toms towards the end of this song and my old stereo speakers bottoming out the bass on the 18 floor tom.
This is my favorite LZ song. Always has been. Your snare stand looks like it could topple over at anytime. I love that fact Bonham had two crashes, and one ride. That's it, nothing more.... (well, until later). Also, how effing strong does that cymbal lug on the kick drum have to be in order to hold a huge 24" ride that is getting beat to death!!??
Wait a minute !
Did i just see that?
Wild stuff man. Made my evening.
! Groovy ! with flare and style. Love it.
Sick snare werk bro.....in da 'pocket
Great job! And epic kit! Thanks sounds great!
I really enjoyed that. Great song choice. Beautiful kit
Fantastic job! New kit sounds so good!!
Bonham was an absolute monster. Well done on this cover. Looks like quiet the workout.
Il suono di quello strumento è pazzesco ❗🔝❗❤️❗
però senza qualcuno che lo sappia far cantare non sarebbe nulla...❤🔝❤️🔝❤️🔝❤️🥁
So hard to pick a favorite but this one right up there. ❤️🔥
Nice drums, great drummer!
Thanks
Always loved this song, well played!! 😎💪🏻
Monster sound, George! 🔥🔥🔥
nice work
You really did your homework for that.Thank you
Great video. Nice Bohnam set too
Great choice and well done 👍🏻
Hell yea! , great video, thanks George , new subscriber
thank you!
Does it have that new kit smell?
Yes it does, albeit acrylic
George I think I saw a speck of dust right below the badge on the 18,just kidding I don’t want you to fall down running down to the drum room the drums sound marvelous look marvelous and to have the best Bonham player that Iv ever seen behind the kit is just the total package.
You saw me wipe that off! Lol.
@@BONHAMOLOGY If that was my kit I’d be sleeping next to it. lol.
@@BONHAMOLOGY
I really like your rug
Oriental? Persian? Turkish?
Those toms and bass sound like thunder rolling over the mountains or cannons in the distance. Just powerful.
Awesome
Thunderous! ⚡️🥁⚡️👏
George - Great work as always and those drums sound fantastic. Keep the videos coming!
Bravo!! Exquisitely performed.
Spectacular!!
Your best yet‼️✌️🇦🇺
the big compressed crash on the 4 chord of the fast part - perhaps greatest moment/sound in music/mankind.
(Referring to original recording - hope that was clear)
the fills that built the stairway
great! the older i get the more meaningful this song becomes.
que hermosa esta tu pila y que bien tocas
The whole kit sounds killer, especially that rack tom!!!
You are such a joy to watch
Ridiculous how legit this kit sounds like Bonham’s!! ❤️🥁❤️
Good and proper tuning works like magic to every kit! ❤
Wow, great job. One of my favorite drummers of all time.
Ever the jazz musician!, love the stick clicks!
😊
Georgy boy is on fire once agian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool!
the tom is mounted? i thought it would be on a snare stand, but i dont know for sure..
No, it's mounted, the same way Bonzo's was ....on a Ludwig rail consolette
G- you're 500 away from 20K Subs!!! The kit and drumming sounds terrific! THE BOOGIE IS ROLLING.
Thanks Terry, feels like a slow climb
Great!
New drums sound killer.you know youre a zep fanatic when youre playing a live version.its s bit faster than the studio version
Very well played and nice sound brother!🎸
Nailed it!
With extra sauce…
speeding up in places..............WHICH IS AWESOME!!!
😂 Yeah, it's very elastic.
This show must've been one of those "cocaine nights"...... 100 MPH.
Yeah, It has that marching powder tempo
you got it bro note for note,,bet ya some time in on this one
Thanks
Baton Rouge was played on February 28th
Whoops!
This was amazing. Jimmy was having a very good night. I like how you're not simply "playing along" but leading just as it was done originally.
Thanks!
Great playing as usual. Are those A&F stands?
Yes, the two cymbal stands
Supernaut on the Amber Kit 😉
Great playing, George. Kit sounds awesome. I'm assuming the snare is a supraphonic because it sounds SICK!!! 🤘😉
Thanks, yes it is
Super
Very,very....very GREAT JOB ,bro.....this song is so HARD to play.....only those who love BONZO and the Drums can fully understand the difficulty of performing this masterpiece.... you have all my admiration!. I'm trying to start playing drums again after 20 years and seeing your videos is helping me a lot. Thanks 👍. ( sorry my poor " English "...i m Italian)
Thank you so much, best of luck to you!
What do I know, right? I’m just a bass hack. I do know that I’ve listened to Dallas 3-4-75 version of this tune possibly over 500 times since its release in 1990. With all the other N. American soundboard tapes that have leaked since then, I’ve heard them all…and your kit here sounds very similar to John’s actual one. These Vista’s have a “tubby” sound about them. You seemed to have em tuned good n tight, again like John did em. Hey I loved watching this video George. Excellent job I have to say. What live version were you going to here? I thought it was an EC version but I think I hear a U.S. version here.
slayed that one!
To any haters....do you even think Bonham would play the same note for note..take a fn pill and relax..seen hundreds of vids, this guy is about as good can get get the texture sublety and feel and power swing of Bonham
nice🎉😊
Great foot work! I always thought this song highlighted Bonzo’s greatness..Thanks for sharing and keep up the great drumming
This was one of the very last song's Chris Cornell sung at the MGM Grand in Detroit city 1 hour before he was killed. Sound garden

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
George..how does this kit sound compared to the standard bonham vistalite or are the differences just cosmetic?
Greatest song ever made

One word COOOL !!!! as always
Nailed it!! Personally wouldn't even attempt this number 👍😄
JOHN BONHAM WANTED HIS DRUMS TO SOUND LIKE CANNONS.......BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Tighten the bottom head on your rack and your 16 18 floor Toms. Good snare
Please, you have to try all songs of 1975 tour on that fabulous drum kit! I especially wait to see Moby Dick and long versions of Dazed and Confused!
What hi hats you got here?! Sounds amazing. Overall amazing work
Thanks. They're old 2002 Black label 15 sound edge hats
Beautiful looking set of drums with great sound
Thank You So Much George 🤩❤️
Brilliant Stuff..🔥
Absolutely Perfect Once Again 😁👍
would like to hear this kit vs legacy maple 😁
I guess the best way to do that would be to pull up a recording that I've done recently on the legacy kit and do a side-by-side.
Do you guys actually think this kit is tuned to Bonham's? It sounds nothing like Bonham's. Do yourself a favor. There is a drum kit mic kit with only 3 mic's. It has 2 overheads to pick up the whole kit AND the room along with one on the floor for the kick. That will give you a true Bonzo sound once the kit is tuned correctly. Bonham only used Vistalites because Ludwig paid him to. It was in his promo contract. If it were up to him, he would have never come within 10 feet of those plexyglass drums. Nothing sounds like his maple green sparkle. That's why he used them as his main studio recording kit. Listen to the Bonham outtakes on RUclips, that's what BONHAM sounds like. I had 1 of 100 Ronn Dunnett Bonham Ludwig stainless steel reissues. That's what he sounds like tuned properly. Never use close mic's to capute a Bonham's sound in a room. Every room is diffrent so that 3 mic package will work in every room if and only if the drums are tuned properly. Start there and master that because no matter how much you play you'll never sound like Le Bête on a kit that isn't tuned like the master.
I'm not going for a studio Bonham kit sound here when I use these drums. I believe that these are tuned very similarly to the way his Vistalite kit sounded. I'm sure you're aware of the sound of his kit from the many bootleg recordings from 73 and 75. Yes, that is correct that he preferred his wood shell Kit in the studio, and a three mic technique definitely achieves a Bonham type studio sound. I've made many videos that only use a couple over heads, bass drum and snare. Also, I mix in very little of the close mic'ing on the toms and snare. It's mostly the overheads and bass drum. however, it's a myth that he wasn't close mic'd in the studio. There are photos and studio track sheets that show the kit was often close mic'd. My recent video doing the Bonham "engine" was just 2 overheads, bass drum and snare mic...very little of the snare mic mixed in. Fair enough if you don't like the sound of the Vistalite, I didn't like them very much at all for a long time. But after playing them, I appreciate the different tonal qualities and can understand why Bonzo used them live, because of the clarity and volume.To me, they're another aspect of his sound and style, and he obviously experimented with different shell types. Who knows, it's likely he would have gone back to using a wood shell kit at some point. But I respectfully disagree that this doesn't sound anything like Bonham's Vistalite sound. This sounds very similar to Earl's Court for example.
Bravo! the tuning on your kit is sick 🤘
The drums sound fantastic! Nice job of tuning! And your timing is impeccable, which is TOUGH when there's that much open space. Plus, a lot of those transitions are about as subtle as a brick wall at 100 mph. Bravo, my friend! Your dedication to your craft is very apparent.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
I had an RCI starlight kit and a 76 vistalite. The RCI were better made and better sounding shells.The 18x18 FT was the most awesome FT I have heard of any material. It focused and punched like a 16", but had that massive gong drum like rumble. I used aquarian super-2 clears (like Remo vintage emperor 5mil+7mil). Evans emad on kick.Fatter tone than cs dots.
That's great! Yeah I must say, these shells sound superior to my ears, but the Ludwig are still very nice
Smart move playing with the boots to avoid any copy strikes. This is definitely one of the shows where Plant sang with a smoker's voice!
That kit sounds like it could knock a train off the rails. Did Bonzo have any control rings or some other dampener to control the resonance?
Yes, I believe he had a clear control ring on the bass drum reso head. No muffling on the toms.
How do you add the Zeppelin track and record it with your drum track? Do you just play live and just listen to your ear buds?
I play along to the recording, through GarageBand and record my tracks into there. I then mixed the tracks in audacity, and add the music track minus the drums. I use Moises to take the drum track out of the song.
that kit sounds amazing!
Fuckin' solid bro!
Sounds amazing! Did you order it with the rail mount or did you have to install it yourself?
I installed it but it was drilled by RCI
BOOM 💥👍 from 🇮🇪
I'm from Ireland to ye I'm with ya here this man is incredible
