JOHN BONHAM’S BEST GROOVE! 

Ginger Baker in cream was pretty close

Carmine Appice

Not only that, it is the first song on the album. Just BAM Bonzo right in your face

EXACTLY TRUTH!!! MICHAEL...

We did . John Bonham the original.

You don’t mess with the classics, man.

Well said!

Iron butterfly next please mess it mix it claim it

It's the space that allows it to breath - LZ were the masters of Less is More when they felt like it - My favourite Bonham fill? The one near the end of the guitar solo in Stairway, 4 hits down the toms. Perfect.

Came here to say that. Respect to Bonham, love to see it.

I was thinking the same thing. Typically he adds a lot of fills n stuff, I guess no need for this one. Perfect as it was.

Thats no how bonzo play cow bell

Esa es la belleza de las pistas de bonham, no les falta nada, ni les sobra nada

​@gabrielsandoval8968 the changes on the cowbell are so minor and groove hard either way it doesn't really matter. Not even the great john bonham played it exactly like the record

Bonham also didn't use double kick pedals

Longer than what he has been alive for

I requested EES play Achilles Last Stand & Wearimg and Tearing. Well see if he accepts the challenge.

Thanks for spelling Bonham correctly. I turn 60 in Dec. Sometimes I can't remember what I did yesterday. 😄

Bonham is the only drummer I know who plays the kit like it’s a proper musical instrument. I think ZEP made the right decision to quit when John died.

@@kawaracer69 I'm no expert but I don't think, they could have produced new music without his unique sound.

Also Porcaro

Took me a long time to clean that one up!

It's definitely harder than Good Times Bad Times.

I'm not a huge Zeppelin fan, not in a "they're bad" way, as I love Bonham and find everyone else great, just don't enjoy listening to most of their music. But Fool in the Rain, can't get enough of that. I blame Super Mario Kart and its latin music influence for making me adore latin grooves. and you know, the amazing shuffle beat.

Absolutely... such a beautiful shuffle that Bonham utilizes in the song, and it drives it the whole way without taking spotlight away from the other band members

Ditto. Over a year off and on.

that is why he is the GOAT

JUST NOT SURE HE WAS THE BEST, SO MANY ICONICLICKS ON SONGS ITS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY!!!!

Bump

Amen to that! I was just about to say the same thing 💯✌️

Yes! I saw this on FB and came here hoping for a full version!

Can someone say The Name of This Song?

@@pablogaldino9753Good times Bad times

On a 24" kick

He is playing it with one foot his left foot is bouncing on the hi hat

That’s a good point, are estifario’s feet in the same category as his hands? Are his feet as fast as Thomas Lang? Because Lang is super fast.

@@ryanwiebe1552got a feeling he’s using that new triple kick pedal he has? Just a thought seeing as he’s done a video showing it

@@callumfriend2523No, he’s playing it with a single, just like Bonham did. It’s really not that difficult. The major thing is that Bonham was the first to make a big deal about it: a true game-changer ✌🏻😎

Damn, your Dad was cool as fuck! So was mine. But it was a sleeper Sport Fury with a built 440 leaving brand new Fox bodies in the dust. Zeppelin blasting on the on the Kraco tape deck.

Lol…first album…1969….Keep Going! My first experience with ‘Whole Lotta Love’ (2nd album), i was high as a kite and as i rose through the smoke, my mind exploded across the sky during the tight jam in the middle. My young brain saw an electric, pulsating panorama of a planet of 4 or 5 billion people (then)! Kids, don’t do drugs…unless Page, Plant, Bonham & Jones enter the building smiling…!

awesome!

Reading these comments are cool... I always thought this drum track was ridiculously crazy.. still til this day I make that funky face.. like got damn he is still ahead of his time

It was the same year as the Grey one in the movie fast and furious

Same here. The best feel of any drummer

John Bonham and Neil Peart fighting the first place... Then, everyone else.

Ian paice

everything is a groove now i guess

​@@allegorx58since the beginning of time, man

First song on the first side of the the first album. Bonham introduced Led Zeppelin to the world and he's still the most important drummer that ever walked the globe.

I think there's a lot of people not noticing that..

Jeez. This guy is doing single kick as well. The left leg it's on the hi-hat. It's super simple to understand, just look away from your bias.

I got a fever and the only prescription is more cow bell.

Nah, it’s the typical sound of the compressor in the Yamaha EAD10 (his recording device) 👍🏻😎

I always wondered if he uses triggers, especially on the kick

@@WillisHolder Yes he does. The Yamaha EAD10 explicitly records the kick with a trigger 👍🏻

​​@@flowerlandofjohnthe EAD-10 has a trigger but Estepario might not be using it. To my ear his kicks sound very compressed but not triggered. He didn't have a trigger going for the Drumeo stuff he did with high fidelity gear and the kicks are still mad loud.

@@HessianHunter Well, he has said that he only use the “Compressor scene” in the EAD10, and that has a very particular sound. And I wonder if one can “cheat the EAD10” with mad amounts of compressor instead of using the trigger? I mean the 2 microphones in the EAD10 are pointed upwards, so it generally sounds really bad if you don’t use the trigger, and he has mad amounts of kick in his recordings so I’m a little confused. I’ve been recording with EAD10 for years but I will check later this weekend if you can cheat it with loads of compressor 👍🏻😂

we on the sand H for z · ♥

Fkn Cool!❤👍🏻

Lucky you 🙂

Stop bohnam was great not the greatest although he had a signature sound like many greats!!

​@@mhunsypaintersEverbody knows Bonham is the goat, even Neil who is second. Danny third. This guy👍 and Andols Herrick are up there too

I dont speak your language but there was no need to translate that what you were saying was obvious ... Fuck yes!

​@@johnmorgan4747Yes my brother, I agree with you, I too knew he typed awesome, positive comment!!👍✌

I think he was warming up with the previous ones and now he's going for the real hard ones...

Yes, yes, so much yes

YES

Fuck yea!

That would set the drum kit on fire..

With some blast beats! I don't mean to be tacky because Bonham is the G.O.A.T but it would fit so well with the hammering speed of their finest achievement.

That's cause he was probably a nice guy. Nice people watch the WNBA, too... This was a bad cover. It's just a slightly dumbed down version of the original with half the feeling...

@@HUNTERYOUGAF I get it brother, diehard Bonzo fan. Comparing this gentleman to the wnba though ,is pretty disrespectful if you ask me. With the way you're speaking I would like to see you post a video playing better than this gentleman. Cuz personally I think this guy would run laps around Bonham and run a marathon around you. And I love John Bonham, but I give credit when credit is due. Peace

​@@chrisbroguiere3593you need your ears checked if you think this is a good cover

@@chrisbroguiere3593 nobody runs laps around Bonham, nobody. Without Bonham we would not have music as we know today.

@@DaveClark-ib6sp I totally agree. But what must be understood is that the bar got raised after listening to John Bonham. That bar got met several times with quite a few drummers. Like anything, everything evolves. If you watch a street basketball player, you would swear you were watching a pro sometimes. When I first started listening to speed metal, Dave Lombardo was on top. He set the bar. That bar got raised by Paul Bostoph and Joey Jordison passed that bar. You don't think Neil Peart past John Bonham and raised the bar?My point being that there's always going to be someone better to come up. Just as in anything, basketball, football, any sport. You can't stop the evolution, And you can't deny there's always going to be someone better no matter what the discipline. Peace ☮️

He has merch

Nope. Single bass. Left leg is working the hi-hat only. Come on.

It's complex because it's rock and samba? A very watered down samba-esque type groove... maybe. But not complex by a long shot.

@@elmhurst86 that is not an easy groove to play and it's not a watered-down samba it's a shuffle much like "Rosanna"

@@DaveClark-ib6sp Uhmm... the middle part is a watered down Samba. The rest is a shuffle.

Have you checked out the Shannon Larkin/Godsmack version? For me, it proves your point.

Yeah, he’s too square…

Yeh! This guys gone beyond human into robot dynamics. Which is incredible but We need the feeling!

Exactly my toughts..he has great technique but there's no groove

No one has the Bonham swing!

Damn close , where was he off ?

​@@ludwigdrums47Exactly. "Close but no cigar"..?! He's not playing Bonham's exact equipment. Yeah, his Cowbell doesn't sound like Bonham's, but the playing is perfect. I think he deserves a box of Cuban Cigars! Maybe the commenter played this many, many times in a cover band..?! I'd like to hear/learn why this comment was left, besides the fact it's the name of a great Pink Floyd song..?! This beat is one of the first I remember as a kid, and "engraved" in my mind, apparently..?! Still as impressive. Maybe the most unforgettable beat/groove ever..?! I'm 56, and probably have heard this for 50 years, now..?! Along with thousands of other tunes, since. Bonham always stands out. Incredible!👍💯🔥🔥🔥🥁🎶🤘

​@@timturk1899Exactly ! Not only was it like anything we've ever heard before but what creativity! (Close but no cigar) what was this guy thinking saying that ??? Love to hear his version. I'll keep the cigar

I agree, he doesn't have Bonham's feel, it's too stiff or straight. This dude is a total beast but this is a bit of a miss.

So I take it from your comment that no one can play like John Bonham?

@@elmhurst86 ... this is the truth, Sir. His way to hit the drums, and his laidback feeling are still unmatched today..

@@XC-Fly Yeah, that's not exactly true. Lots of drummers out there in 2023 who can play with more feel and have more chops than he did. And I say that as a huge fan of his. Tony Thompson was a GREAT replacement for him in '85. Could have been very interesting to see what would have come from it if only he hadn't died.

What? Not even close?

His son Jason sounds like his dad.

Stevie can't 'teach' it to you, he would have to write it out, which you can find a million places, but then you would have to be able to read it😶

@@dEadERest name it then so I can search it

It's 16th note triplets - hi-hat plays the 1st note of the triplet, kicks the other 2 notes of the triplet. If you play a half time shuffle with quarter notes in the hat and snare on the 3, you can practice a constant flow of the kick doubles underneath. The hi-hat quarter note will serve as the first note of each triplet.

@@dEadERest oh no, I wasnt saying about the notes and sheet music. I meant more like some tips to do it without double pedal. Like tips for pivot you know. Tips.

@@nickrails you dissected this. Very accurate explanation. Thank you

For fifty years, what: it’s not that hard. What technique have you been using? 😳
