NO QUARTER LIVE - DRUM GROOVES AND FILLS *DEMO*
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- Someone requested that I do a video demonstrating the drum groove and fills on the live TSRTS version of No Quarter, so I put this together. The main focus of this video is on the drumming during the keyboard /guitar solo . Its a half time jazzy/funk groove with lots of active bass drum and hihat work throughout and some typical signature Bonzo 16th note fills.
There are similarities between the groove that Bonzo plays toward the end of the guitar solo , (with the double stroke snare/bass drum-hihat feel) and the Theramin jam section of Whole Lotta Love from the movie soundtrack as well. It reminds me a lot of Mike Clark's drumming with Herbie Hancock's Headhunters, and Alphonse Mouzon's style of drumming as well.

this is the best Bonham teachings I've ever seen,
Outstanding George. I’d love to hear you cover Gallows Pole. One of my favorites.
Special Request: I’d love to see yourself and Terry playing opposite each other and work out a cover of Bonzo’s Montreux together. I’m sure it would be majestic. 👍
Great breakdown on those funky grooves. Something I aspire to play.
I liked your introduction about Bonham's influences. I don't know much about drum history but I do can hear some similarities with those early R&B players. Specially on that laid back bass drum and snare interplay
Yes indeed, and the air between the phrases....hosnsemse of timing was very much like the old soul R&B guys. Thanks!
Love the tone of your snare on the rim shots. The Gong is resonating with it too! Way cool! Man, you are Such a master! Ahhhhh!!! 😊😊😊🤗❤️👍🏼
George!!! Thank you...i love the "live" version.now i can play it thanks to you....gr8 , gr8 video man !!!!
Excellent ....The mystery is being unlocked.
John was amazing! Thank you for breaking down his feel.
Brilliant George , thanks very much love your breakdown of these fills ..
What professional, clear, insightful, and insiring instruction. And...ways to explore creativity. I love it! Learned to play drums at age 14 sitting in the dark being just carried away by the brilliance and quality of Led Zep. That was 40 years ago and still absolutely moved by their music. Keep up the great work, you and Terry are a great team. Thank you.
This lesson is pure gold, George THANK YOU so much for taking time for this. I like how you include exercises to get you up to speed, and recommendations on other influential artists to check out. This video answered every one of my questions. Keep em' coming !!
Great insight. You broke this down perfectly for me. I was able to grasp the concepts w/o getting behind. Very helpful. Ty!!! You should go live like terry did yesterday. It was awesome.
Keith Mounts Thank you, that's good to know. I'm never really sure if I'm being clear and not being redundant. Maybe Terry and I will do a live video soon....I didn't see his, but he said it went well.
One can learn so much about John's drumming techniques from watching and listening to this gentleman.
Thank you. I was listening to Song Remains the Same recently and marveled specifically at the parts you just broke down. Although a bit over my head, I'm going to come back to this lesson in the future when my skill level evolves. Thank you for a great lesson.
8mileshigher Thanks very much, glad to hear it was helpful.
Man, Bonzo for playing this, and you for bringing it to us mortals 👍👋👋🤟
This is fantastic. Thanks so much for posting.
Snare sounds incredible.
Another great insight into JB's influences.This is becoming CSI Bonham with your forensic breakdowns! Love it, I used to have Alphonse Mouzon's Mind Transplant LP, how the hell did he play those kick doubles wearing 4inch platform soles?
Bonham was such a great drummer glad To see another great drummer appreciate and break it down
Very nice! Great analysis and thank you for taking requests. Glad to see your subscriber numbers increasing too!
I’m new to your Chanel George, Great lessons!.... Great videos!..thanks so much!....
Thanks for the GREAT lesson ! I return to it often
George you are an amazing drummer with a great gift of the ability to teach!
Question here. I know you made this video roughly 5 years ago, but I was wondering if you knew what your cymbal setup is here?
Excellent lesson and demonstration!! I have my next few months of practice before me now!! I always how he got those great sounding fills in No Quarter. The 16th note fills I could never figure out that they were even 16th notes. The funky style and feel he plays with is brilliant. Great that you pointed out all his influences. Alot of people think he was just a beater and thumper of the drums but he really swung and had groove. Jimmy Page always talked about that and so did Robert Plant.
Great lesson. Thanks
It blows my mind that there are people out there would give any of your videos a thumbs down SMH.
I always thought that Bonham used the same ghost note sticking at 18:16 at the end of Candy Store Rock until I saw your cover
Hey George! Greetings from Chico, Ca! I don't want to sound like I'm complaining (because I truly love all your videos!!). But I really loved the sound of your drums when the overhead Mic was out in the front of your drums. That could just be me though!! Keep it up man.
Mr. Supraphonic Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. Actually I am still trying different mic placements for the best possible sound and I really like the last one I used ( for the Song Remains and Rain Song), which is the condenser overhead and an AKG D 112 in front of the bass drum. For this video I didn't use the mics, just the built in mic on the Zoom camera, because I thought it's easier to hear my talking ... in lieu of having a dedicated talking mic. Let me know what you think of the previous two videos .
BONZOLOGY with Terry & George I did enjoy the previous two. I just thought it was a little cymbal heavy. Thanks for the reply and the Mic info. The band I am in is recording now and I would to try some simpler set ups like what you're doing.
Ps. It is definitely easier to hear you talk now so I guess you made the right choice. Thanks!
Hi George , do you consider the guitar solo section to be a half time Groove , counting 1+2+3+4
with 3 being the back beat . Or do you consider it a 16th note groove counting 1e+a and the snare falling on beat 4.
I think of it in half time, so the BackBeat is on three.
I love your vids man
Love your videos, you're an amazing drummer. If you can do one on base drum technique that would be great. Thanks.
George, my dream is to win the lottery and hire you for a weekend to work on all bonzo related drumming. Thank you!
👍🏼😀
Great video George !! Have you got anything out there on The lemon song?? Take care dude !!
Good stuff. Thanks!
any tips on getting that boomy base you got going?
How do you get that snare to sound so clean. I find if I tune to low its bad. Medium strength is tight but loads of overtones. Love that dry sound.
bottom head tight, top head med tight, but I do change it from time to time, depending on the room, how I want the sound...fatter or more quick attack and higher pitch. I also always have the muffler on a little to control ring ...like Bonzo did.
BONZOLOGY with Terry & George ok great. I'll try it at gig tomorrow.
Hey George, can you do a quick rundown on your microphones and the mixer in back of you? How you connect everything up etc? Do you run it into a PC in back of you?
8mileshigher Hi. No pc . It's nothing very fancy. I use one MXL V250 condenser above my right shoulder, and I just started using an AKG D 112 in front of the bass drum. I run them into a Mackie ProFX 4 channel mixer , with only some slight EQ and reverb . I use a Zoom Q2 mini camera , then I drop the vids into iMovie and edit them, sometimes I boost the volume a bit there.
BONZOLOGY with Terry & George Thank you!
What do you use to clean your cymbals
I use Soft Scrub, if I clean them...but I rarely do.
Could you do the drum fill in tsrts heartbreaker thats right after the first lyric?
alpha bison I am in the process of doing a series of songs from the 1973 so I will put that fill into the Heartbreaker cover I do . It's a doozy!
Thanks!
The tempo is too fast.
