This video takes a look at Bonzo's gear throughout his entire career. From his early days, as a teenager playing 'Brum Beat' in local bands around Birmingham, to the final Zeppelin Over Europe tour of 1980. I tried not to speculate about his gear and stick to what is verifiable through reputable accounts and available photos.
I did not go into detail about his cymbals because I already made 3 separate videos that focus on the hihats, crashes, and rides that he used. Check my videos for those as well.
For the Gear Headz!
Thanks to Mick Bonham's book John Bonham, and Geoff Nichols and Chris Welch's book, A Thunder of Drums, for reference.
Special Thanks to Billy Harrington for his photos and info on the maple thermogloss kit, Eric Levy for some photos and timeline info, and to Pete Echanique for the video montage introduction.
