Awesome way to get it goin TY man

Amazing video, thank you

Nice

I quit drumming 10 years ago for the guitar. Listening to Rush, I kinda regret that decision.

Drummer Vinheteiro?

What do you do with all those drums on the shelf?

Great exercise, thanks a lot for breaking it down to be easy to understand. However I'm afraid your triplets don't sound like John Bonham, it's very robotic. Bonham has that intensity fluctuations and also varying speed / spacing, yet his accent is where we feel it should, even though it might be off the metronom.

Good !

excellent lesson, meticulous, thank you

Well done, great video... BUT, I've decided to put a floor tom over next to my hi hat and continue playing R, L, F :)

His name isn't "Neecko".

I really gotta work on the leading with the left hand.. great video

Great vid - much appreciated and you have challenged me again. Can i share my Bonzo triplet challenge with you which after 12 months is still difficult. LRKLRKLRKLRK played as 16th notes in 4/4 woth 5:30 hihat chic on all 4 quarter notes. Wow!!! A mental and physical challenge for me anyways. Sounds great at speed and becomes a part of fills once comfortable (which has taken me a whole year). Keep on posting this valuable info - greatly appreciated.

Aka : any drummer triplets Big Sid Catlet played these in the 30’s and 40’s , maybe earlier, 1920’s .. Thousands of cats do , did this all over the WORLD too!!! .. it ain’t new . The hippies in the 60’s and 70’s thought they were cool and the first to smoke weed ! Wrong again… my dad who fought in ww2 born in the 1920’s smoked it when he was a kid ! They just hid the cool stuff. Everyone don’t have to know wtf you are doing was the idea , then everyone would quietly go about their business! It was accepted …Anyway “ Bonham” didn’t invent anything… sorry, not to burst the bubble but it’s all been done way long ago , you ain’t special .. just another player in the world .

Watch the ending 🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂❤❤

That is a great practice drill. I’m gonna try this for sure as I predominantly lead right.

Another good thing to point out.. or what I had trouble with is hitting the drums evenly or the "bass drum" in particular to get the right sound.. it needs to sound powerful!

Being able to lead with his left or right gave his rhythms a unique style that is easily recognised at Bonzo

You did that like it was no big deal. I thought it was great. :D

@thegoodfoot: Great transcriptions and explanations of possibly my favorite Led Zep song.

dont you start on the snare with both hands?

The speed is one thing. But what I notice is how clean your rim shots are. These are rim shots, right?

Make it look so easy

Stuff like this makes me want to learn how to play drums

best groove ever

I can only manage to do these triplets at a quick pace by doing doubles on the kick. Don't use a double pedal, but fast/accurate singles with the foot in this pattern are difficult for me, oddly.

I know exactly what it is and your "best guess" is correct.

Killer

Thank you great exercise

You forgot the hi-hat. Bonham never played like this.

Where can I download?

Thank you. What is the spring tension on your pedal like?

Phenomenal lessons! You’re a great teacher and drummer!

FYI Nicko was playing Sonor Phonic drums with Ludwig Silver dot heads.🤘🏼Great breakdown of the fill!

Great playing and lesson! Thanks for getting to the point! 1:42 is what I needed!

A question that I've been looking the answer for a while regarding this: Does your left foot play the hi-hat heel up or heel down? When I try to play this hard groove, my instinct says heel up, but the reality says heel down due to balance issues. Would love an answer to this. Thank you for posting this video!

That was great, thank you!

3:07 Man! You nailed it so hard your bass guitar fell over! 😱 😁

very good lesson..............thx..........wb

Nice shoes though.

Thanks for your lesson! Great work! But I couldn't find notes and transcripts on your site, can you say where I can find it?

When you’re left handed playing on right handed drum set and been doing this by accident since you been playing

Oh sorry it was the floor Tom I seen as double

Can you explain the notation to me. I see double kick sometimes?

Genial gracias

👏👏👏

Thank you for your video. I am an ambidextrous drummer. I started very late in life. And I love drumming. I realized recently John Bonham leads with his right foot, and I started to do this and let everything else follow. This open up my drumming a lot. Even if I don't lead with my right foot, I internally lead with my right foot as a directional point and let everything else flow naturally. I love different rhythms. I love Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich, and John Bonham. I have a heavy hit. And my soul has been dying to set up my drums set like John Bonham. Right now I have two double kick pedals, both left and right, attached to a 1/4" piece of wood (1/4"H by 23"L by 3 1/2"W) and then my bass drum laid on top of the wood and pedals, (you can do this with a double kick pedal, either left or right, and attached a single pedal next to it, and have the double kick pedal with soft heads or hard heads, and then have the single pedal with a hard head or a soft head, and this along with the hi hat pedal adds another dimension to drumming, using a four pedal system), and my drum set goes all around me from left to right (kind of a Neil Peart thing). And it is strange how things happen in life. I've been hungering of soul to jam rhythmically like John Bonham, (I do now in some way), and with your video and along with changing up my drum set to reflect how John Bonham played, I am going to have the best time drumming. I am very grateful for your video. I thought this morning, how does John Bonham do triplets? And your video was here to help me to get exactly what I needed to be. Thank you too for the Triplet Exercise PDF at www.davejohnstone.com. I'll sign up today on your free website. With gratitude, John Silva-Henebry (Popo).

When you use the floor tom, it's not always apparent to this amateur listener that it's not double hit on the kick. When you move to other toms, it's more clear what's doing what, because my uneducated ear doesn't necessarily make the distinction between bass drum and big tom.
