This was 8 years ago...but SPOT ON!!!!

Happy retirement Nicko.. You earned it

your drums sound great but I'm sure if you add one more bass drum note in your playing, you will sound better... I watched Bonham play this riff since Zeppelin 4 came out live.... He is hitting his bass drum 2 times on every beat... Not one!!!

You even wrote the drum beats in your notation in correctly... Just add one more bass drum note on all 6 of those 4 beat riffs and it is a 5 beat riff but in 4/4 notation..... Then, it will be totally correct. I have the exact musical notation for this song and yours is missing a bas drum beat.. Sorry but True..

That is exactly what he is NOT playing... I don't know why every drummer on this planet can't HEAR his double 16th notes on his bass drum... Bonham would NEVER play a simple 4 beat riff,,, " snare, floor tom, mounted tom and then 1- bass hit. It's Snare, Floor tom,, Mounted tom and two bass drum notes....NOT ONE!!!!!!!!! LOOK UP THE CORRECT MUSICAL NOTATION FOR THIS AND YOU WILL SEE THAT HE HITS HIS BASS DRUM ""TWO" TIMESS EVERY TIME.... NOT ONE!!!!!

Pior música do led, shit💩🤑🇧🇷

Awesome Batman!

Great lesson. The constant hi-hat is the big challenge.

Dead sticking vs not dead sticking, got it. But your toe stays in contact with the pedal. So are you lifting your whole leg then?

I’ve seen him play this fill on a couple videos. There’s no flam. He’s playing quintuplets.

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! 😱 😁
