Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand - Drum Cover (w/ Music) 

It baffles me how many people just don't know this song! It is one of the most impressive songs of Led Zeppelin.

Spot on cover Bro. I’ve always felt Achilles was Bonhams finest recorded work.

best song from zeppelin, don’t play with me.

The reflection of your face in the kick drum just under the ride looks like Bonzo himself looking on. He would be proud

This guy was 400 lbs when he started practicing this song.

One of their best tunes

I am old guy, when I am having a tough day I watch and listen to your video young man. Makes me feel young again, Rock On.

Everybody says nobody can play like Bonham but you come pretty damn close. Some guys can play the parts, some guys have the power and the feel down but from what i've heard no one has it all. With you nothing is missing. The feel, the power, the precision.... it's all there. And it's very impressive.

Hands down the best drum cover of this Led Zeppelin epic! The sound of the drums and the cymbals is also spot on. Bravo.

1:17 I could just watch this all day long honestly

This is what a cover should be, hi hat work and no overfills like others do, tempo isn't slowed down... Beautiful work

Outstanding job. Best I have ever heard. On a scale of 1 to 10. This is an 11. He replicated extremely difficult fills and captured the feel and power of Bonham.

Jimmy Page's magnum opus. IMO, this is the mighty Zep at their very best. The rthym section of this song...Bonzo and Jones...is just incredible. Your playing sir would have made John Bonham very happy. He'd probably have brought you a pint...or two! Very well done.

AMAZING, My husband has been listening to Led Zeppelin every day for 40 years, he heard these drum and said John Bonham is risen.. amazingly awesome - thanks for sharing ❤

I toured in '93 with Robert and Lenny Kravitz European Tour. My bf at the time was Lenny's bass player Tony Breit. Your playing is a reincarnation of John Bonham. As good or better than the late Michael Lee who was Robert's drummer that tour. Excellent. Truly. Achilles Last Stand is by far one of the most difficult songs to play. A tribute to Bonzo! If you ever feel the mood, 'Bring It On Home' is one of my faves! I'm sure you will do it justice.👍😉

I was a frustrated drummer when this song came out. While I was more of a Danny Seraphine/ Buddy Rich fan then I had a great admiration for John Bonham and you sir nailed it! I wished I could have had the fortitude to stay with drumming, much respect to you and your talent. Thanks for the video.

Best Bonzo in the net

Hell yeah dude! Fuckin amazing cover. That fill at 2:30 was incredible.

The best song of Led Zeppelin in my opinion. What a drum kit, man!!! Congratulations! What specs. for this tom? 15" x 11"?

Jon Snow is so underrated as a drummer!

Love it! Hope it doesn't get taken down again.

Recently discovered Led Zeppelin and this is by far my fav song by them. Insane cover, very well done!

DUDE!!! you killed it!!!! note per note,,,,, Bohnam would be proud of you...

This Could NOT Be Any Better. You Are A Killer Musician let alone Drummer. Grace, Power, Speed and Dynamics. Just Wow! Every Video Is Top.

You my sir, are a badass

so happy this got unblocked. incredible stuff!

Outstanding!!! That massive ride mounted to the kick 👍🏻

The drum fills towards the end of the solo are phenomenal dude

that's a pleasure to watch and listen to

I've commented a little while back how I thought this was the best cover of the song and I still do. I'm not sure if you recall, but I mentioned how I judge it on the two drum fills. The obvious lightning fast one at about the 1:16 Mark and then the small subtle one at about the 2:55 mark. I said it back then and I will say it again. You nailed them perfectly! Oh and the SHOWCO t-shirt is a nice touch! LOL 😉😉😉😉

When I saw this video, I was so surprised that I stopped thinking.　It's a great play

I remember when the album came out when I was in High School, Zep blew me away to another level, learned to play this on guitar in my 30's, we never could find a drummer who would play it!! Fine job!!!

One of the best drum tracks ever recorded.The fill at 5:26 is insane...nailed the song dude and his sound. Spot on man...

Such a tiring and hard song to learn and play in it’s entirety but when you learn it and you’re playing it, and feeling it…. god it’s such a great feeling

In reading the comments you have received it is difficult to add something, but not as difficult as to the detail and attention and commitment you made to achieve this most incredible reenactment of the Great Bonham. Come one, come all to see the greatest show on earth. After just seeing Live at Knebworth, your epic work here has raised the bar to challenge us drummers to excel at the impossible.

I finish my boxing workout to this drumbeat/song, the best Zeppelin song, after 10 round and finishing with this song I take my hat/groves off to you dude and of course "Bonham"

Nice job man. Definitely the hardest Zep song to play on drums. Its fast, has heavy fills, time changes, oh and it's 10 minutes long. The endurance required to play this in time is insane.

I think that drum set is worth more than my car. Nice set up man.

Marvelous, thank you. I was lucky enough to see John Bonham play... just once, at Knebworth, 1979, on the 2nd week.

As a scrawny youth I watched Zeppelin perform this at Knebworth England in1979..The greatest gig l have ever seen and I have seen hundreds...It is now on RU-vid and it still gives me goosebumps Your performance was superb,well played🥁

Absolutely phenomenal! That track is a true test of stamina by anyone's standards and you absolutely nailed it. Not a step wrong for the entire ten minutes...very impressive!

OMG what joy to find this, soooo good mate what an excellent job you did and what a fantastic sound you have here. Awesome thank you

Are you kidding me!!!! Absolutely amazing. Nailed it. This just made my day!

I've been a drummer for over 55 years and I got to say this is the best I've ever seen miss this gentleman is a professional drummer and so far I've watched this video over 22 times and by the way you're welcome because I'm still going to be watching this video for a long time it is great drumming I remember always practice cuz that's how I learned how to play drums by listening to these other bands

Playing this masterpiece on bass and it is pretty hard to keep this tempo all the time, just rock dude u are awesome. Best drum cover definitely.

Absolutely fantastic and absolutely love the kit and set up!! WELL DONE!!!!

You must feel so smug/relieved when you pull off the fill at 1:16. Incredible stuff

:)...Great job with one of Bonzo's most trying grooves...This is such a fun song to play along to...You pick up so many awesome licks to add to your own inventory...This song separates the wheat from the chaff...I've been playing this song for 40 years and not until today did I read the lyrics...WOW! They gave me an even better appreciation for how great Zep is; Here they are; It was an April morning when they told us we should go And as I turned to you, you smiled at me How could we say no? With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had Whoa, the songs to sing when we at last return again Sending off a glancing kiss to those who claim they know Below the streets that steam and hiss The devil is in his hole Oh to sail away to sandy lands and other days Oh to touch the dream, hides inside and never seen Into the sun the south the north, at last the birds have flown The shackles of commitments fell in pieces on the ground Oh to ride the wind, to tread the air above the din Oh to laugh aloud, dancing as we fought the crowd To seek the man whose pointing hand The giant step unfolds To guide us from the curving path That turns our feet to stone If one bell should ring in celebration for a king So fast the heart should beat as proud the head with heavy feet Days went by when you and I bathed in eternal summer's glow As far away and distant our mutual child did grow Oh the sweet refrain soothes the soul and calms the pain Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again Wondering and wandering What place to rest the search The mighty arms of Atlas hold the heavens from the earth The mighty arms of Atlas hold the heavens from the earth From the earth I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way Oh the mighty arms of Atlas hold the heavens from the earth

I always enjoyed this song because of the drums' arrangement. You made this very enjoyable to watch especially when you do the fill around the toms. I only hope BMI or whoever manages Led Zep now see this for what it really is. Keeping the flame alive on great music, you showed a lot of skill putting this together, thanks for sharing your passion.

Ah man, the groove and the drum sound are just perfect, what an incredible job.

Awesome! ..My favorite Zep song!!!..Spot on timing!!!..This is the best Bonham drum cover I've ever heard!!!!!!!!!!

jon Snow on drums! Amazing ,mate! grettings from Brazil!

Beautiful, your playing actually put a smile on my face! ✌️😀🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶

What great definition! Great recording! Love the way you let it breathe. Looks like a phenomenal collection of drums.

Fills and intensity great - amazing performance

You are really in the pocket man! So many great fills in this cover! Nice Job!

absolutely spot on man! This is terrific drumming! When will u put a camera on the base drum so we can appreciate and learn from your technique

As an old school drummer, you nailed it, spot on. KEEP ON TRUCK'IN

Outstanding!!!! You did justice to one of my favorite songs featuring one of my favorite drummers

Congratulations bro! This is absolutely marvelous, astonishing!

If LZ were auditioning for a drummer they would stop after hearing your audition. Absolute perfection. Keep on rocking!

That is one of the best renditions of that song I have heard. You even have the period specific ludwig drum kit, double awesome!

Once again -fantastic! Perfect drumming of one of my favourite Zep songs!

Embodied the intense, crisp sound amazingly. Thank you

Definitely the hardest song I’ve played so far, great job I hope I can play it like this one day

Absolutely fucking awesome. You can hold down that amazing groove, once again dude ..... you are killing it, love it bro! Gorgeous kit. Keep kicking it!

You do such a great job on the Bonham stuff. Always a pleasure to watch you play!

Like every Zeppelin song… you absolutely nail it! Huge inspiration!!! Can’t wait till we meet again.

Amazing.. sound is spot on 👏

Stellar! Spot on.

Love it. Thanks for showing. I'll play it vicariously in my dreams, drums or any part.

What a powerhouse of true drumming. Great job!

wow' great drums cover sir, thanks for sharing..

This is my favorite song all the time!! So cool😁👍👍

Well done, I wasn’t sure anyone could play this track for 10 and half minutes and sound that good 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👊🏼

What a champion. I was exhausted just watching this, it's a drummer sprint

BONHAM approved! Great hoss!👍🏼

Nailed it!!!

Level 10 achieved... Bad Ass my friend. This song should be the test for all things awesome in drumming. What a band and what a master piece. Keeping making these videos they are awesome.

Absolute BADASS! Loved it! Killer set too, it sounds incredible!

Wow,,,, that was perfect!

Phenomenal!!!

Spectacular! If there's no video you might think Bonham is alive.

I watch each of your videos and I'm just speechless! The feel of each track is right there bro, It's mesmerizing.. you are a king!!

Amazing! I’d love to see you tackle the Knebworth version. Bonzo was on fire with the fills!

Freakin' brilliant!!

Awesome! Love that song and your playing

Wow!! What an amazing cover! Congrats man, I love led zep, and covers normally are little unconfortable because of little things, but yours is amazing!!!

Wow, that metal kit sounds unbelievable! Are there crazy overtones to deal with when tuning? Is that a reissue, or vintage? That's a 15 inch mounted tom. That is ridiculous, and gotta find that kit! Great job on the cover too

NOT BONHAM, but pretty damn fucking awesome!

just amazing cover man was looking for the guitar one for me to practice but i had to see the drums.....amazing

You look like jon snow from game of thrones from back here. Great drum cover, the best yet!

1:17 *Yeah ok teach me how to do that hahah*

I keep coming back to watch your awesome cover.👍🤘🥁🔥. Brilliant!!!

It brought a tear to my eyes. Some serious rehearsal was done here. Bonham would be proud ! I'm a carpenter and I really gotta say you "Nailed It" ! Oh and kodo's to the guy who tuned your set. Nailed it also . I'm floored !

Man you sure do love you some Bonham. This is excellent, a true labor of love. Congratulations, I loved watching it and you got it spot on!

Underrated LZ song and one of my favorites. Great job!

Okay... I’ve been playing guitar since I was 10 years old. I’m 57 now. And though guitar is huge part of my life, I’ve always been fond and mesmerized by drums. I stumbled upon your channel, thankfully. You are without a doubt one of the best I’ve ever seen. I used to go to clubs and concerts, and you would think I would watch the guitar players all the time. Most of the time I used to watch the drummers. The same goes for your channel. I can watch your playing for days. Perfect timing. Exceptional. Thank you. 👍🤟

Wth you rdrums sound just like bonham's, great job, and about the drumming, i'm speechless, just discovered this song, now i know what 's my fav LedZep song now haha! Keep it up!

I just wanted to say thank you. Your cover inspired me to pick up my drum sticks again and play.
