"And when shes winding down the road"...yes you have it perfect!! Isn't that a great beat at that part of the song? Took me an hour to dissect that beat, but when you have it, it feels so smooth! John Bonham was a genius. Your performance is FANTASTIC. Beat for beat...perfect!
I actually really appreciate the way you phrased that! For as silly it can be to jam in my garage with the idea of throwing videos up on RU-vid, I do take learning the parts pretty seriously. Nobody has ever put it that way, so thank you! 🤗
This is the only Led Zep song I've found that I can bullshit my way through using my minuscule amount of talent. You are so much better, especially with those ghost notes holy crap... amazing
I definitely appreciate the kind words, and have no doubt that if you're able to get through Stairway To Heaven, that a whole world of songs are in your future if you keep at it...
Beautifully done man! - really like your mix here between your playing and song - hit it right on. Gotta say the best drum cover I have seen yet. Thanks for this.
Probably your the luckiest person in the whole world who owns all the JOHN BONHAM DRUM KITS AND who also owns BONZO'S TALENT WISHES FROM INDIA STAY SAFE STAY HAPPY 😊 TQS BYE
Thanks so much, Casey! And you're right! I actually have a pair of 15" Sound Edge 2002s from the 70's, but thought these 404s were a little closer in tone to what he may have used (Giant Beats? 602s?). Shortly after this, I started using the sound edge bottom hat with the top 404 and LOVE that combination!
I always loved how much the ghost notes in this song melodically complimented the acoustic guitar and connected the song more than any other component - like the ghost notes are the steps you're taking through the countryside, and the other instruments are all your other senses. I know that's way overthinking it, but this song definitely wouldn't be the masterpiece that it is without Bonham's contribution.
Great sound and perfect timing....but I always thought there was a snare beat "missing" straight after "your head is humming and it wont go, in case you don't know"?
