for those of you who think that this is impossible. i finally got it after about 7 months practicing it about 2 hours a week. Most of it in 15 minute shots focusing only on that excercise left right kick. This is the most useful drum lesson i've benifited from on utub.
Natano - I'm glad to hear you, (and Brian) explain that with hard work and determination you were able to master this. I've been playing for about 10 years, and sometimes I think; "I'm I the only one who struggles to improve? Do other drummers pick up these patterns, fills, grooves in just a week or two?" Lol! So, I'm glad to hear that other drummers also need a lot of time, patience and determination to master some of the techniques of drumming! Thanks for sharing!🤘
It’s weird how some things in drumming come easy and some take a lot of work. I played a lot in my teen years but slowly stopped playing as I got older. My young son is so interested in the drums so I got out the old practice pad and started practicing again. Now I just need to convince the wife that the only thing our basement is missing is my old set from my parents house.
Ive watched this.video so many times I've lost count. I've tried and tried. I cried. I threw my sticks across the room. I begged Jesus to bless me with tne ability to learn the techniques showcased in this video. I practiced every single day. My leg hurt so badly. Finally...after 41/2 weeks....i did it. I got it. I can do it!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for this video. Wonderful. To anyone reading this and about to begin your Bonham triplet quest and you've decided it's now or never...... dont give up. Do exactly how this guy says. Do it real slow everyday. Everyday!!! One day you sit at your kit and you're just doing it. It happens. Listen to the vid and practice everyday. It took me about 4 n a half or 5 weeks.counting the days i had to learn to do a double first. Which this guy teaches you the easiest way. Yayyyyyyyyt. I am so proud. Thank you again for the vid.
I love the way how at 4:48 he slows it right down for us mere mortals to understand, instead of just showing us how amazingly fast he can play this stuff - which he then works up to around 5:22. I really appreciate this approach, helps me get the confidence to have a go!
The truth is what Carmine was doing with his foot he got from the most innovative rock drummer I ever heard, GARY DRISCOL. Gary was Ronnie Dio's drummer when they were Ronnie Dio and the Profits and later the Electric Elves. Ronnie grew up in Cortland, ny, where I spent my freshmen and sophomore years in college. I realize now that I wasn't majoring in psychology, I was majoring in Gary Driscol. I first heard Ronnie and Gary in 1965. Every drummer that heard GARY was absolutely mesmerized by him. His drumming was hypnotic. He had the fastest foot I had ever heard and his accenting was incredible. Both Carmine and John were excellent drummers but they couldn't do what Gary could with his foot. His influence on me was both a blessing and a very frustrating curse because as hard as I tried I could never do with my foot what Gary could. He was like a great athlete who could do something biomechanically with his body (in his case, his ankle and foot) that no one else could. And it wasn't some technique he did with his pedal. I was listening to the prophets one night at a local bar in Cortland. He did something with his foot that even for him was incredible. They finished their set and Gary came over and sat at the table. I looked at him with a smile and said 'What the f--k was that?' He looked at me with his typical shy grin and while sitting on this rickety bar room chair he started playing with his hands on his thighs and his foot, heel down, on a sticky bar room floor and did it right in front of me. The truth was/is that most drummers couldn't create the sounds with two feet that Gary could with one. Tragically he was killed in 1987. It is listed as an 'unsolved' murder. It is just extremely frustrating to me that Gary has never received the credit and accolades he deserves for his contribution to drumming and rock and roll. Every drummer that is trying to do something with one or two pedals, owes Gary a debt. Back in the 1960s Carmine was one of my favorite drummers. Every cover band I was in covered the Fudge's version of the Supreme's You keep me hanging on. Every drummer I knew loved playing that song. The Fudge were a ny group and they would play in NYC and long island all the time. About a year after their version of hanging on was off the charts I heard them and Carmine did a drum solo during that song and I heard him do a Triplett ala Gary's style. The next day I called a friend in Cortland and asked him if the Prophets had played with the Fudge and he said yeah. I told him about Carmines solo and he asked how it sounded. I said 'really good but it wasn't Gary.' He said, 'nobody is Gary.' I do hope that someday, in our 'living years,' Carmine will create some good karma for himself and give Gary the credit he deserves. The universe (and Gary) are listening Carmine.
Practice practice practice, years. When you see a 7 year old playing great on YT those are people born that can use more of their brain than most people, and,/or parent's that make their kids practice six hrs a day. Most people it takes many years of practice not six months. I've seen little children play instruments that take most people many many years, these are very gifted children that will be brain surgeon's when they grow up lol
@@m42037 as a drummer of nearly 40 years, I feel qualified to say that brain surgeons and drummers define the ends of that spectrum. Lol. If they're interested, kids pick up skills with amazing speed. At that point, their whole lives revolve around learning.
Try Asian Fight Ballets like Karate or else. As a drummer i thougt it would be easy for me, but those patterns of moves are same kind of hard to learn, you have to repeat every single kombination slowly every Day a couple of minutes until it comes like Bike riding after weeks, but to let it flow with somnambulistic certainty, it easy takes a year.
Since first hearing Zeppelin from my sisters bedroom and playing drums in the marching band at the time. Bonzo got my attention. The power and serious cool beats, and tricks that man had just kept you standing there with your mouth open. I'm 60 years old now and still play. John Bonham stays in my Heart and Brain constantly to this day along with a lot of us. Thanks for this.👍🥁
I'm an amateur drummer of 25 years and never was able to crack these two properly. I had the right hand order but wrong toms - and never realized the "a let" on the first groove was two bass drums. I played it more like Purdie shuffle. I will be able to straighten this out quickly now - thank you so much. It's funny how you can play something for years and it just be a smidge off ... you never stop learning. Edit: Whoops I had the wrong hand order as well. I'm lefty so I need to start these with my right hand.
I must say, BRAVO!! Not only is the playing and instruction amazing on this video (which it certainly is), but the capture is just stunning! The openness of that drum kit, the ring, the way you aren’t burying the beater the whole time….the tuning, the micing, the fact that it hasn’t been ott crushed with compression….it just sounds and feels amazing! Just huge love!
man, this is one of the most beautiful Bonzo sounds of all. What made him so unique...was playing hard rock..with a swing. No better example than the Bonzo triplets.
He was a fan/admirer of Jabo & Clyde from James Brown's band. I catch little bits of that Funk the he's incorporated into his style. That adds to the groove. Watch the Dennis Chambers video on the Fatback Groove & I think you'll see/hear what I mean.
Lifelong guitar player that demands good drumming. Won’t even listen to a song without it. Thanks to these videos I’ll probably have to play drums too. I can’t get enough of these awesome clips, you, and the kit sound AMAZING. You’re the best and coolest example on the tube. Thank you.
Can we please talk about how beautifully these drums were tuned? That kick sounds great. Never got my 26" to work quite right...same for the toms. Just the perfect balance between that open clear sound and the muddiness from the big sizes
You had someone reply to you, you don’t want to talk about it? Why did you comment “can we please talk about this shit” then you don’t reply to someone trying to talk about the bullshit with you?
I have been driving myself crazy trying to learn these triplets and the half time shuffle. I’m going to practice them everyday and I Will learn how to play these even if it kills me!!!!!!
Carmine Appice is so underrated! I learned early on with my drum teacher through one of Carmine's early teaching books (c. 1986) - I learned much studying through his books and of course through John Bonham and many others! RIP CA & JB 🙏
Great lesson! Love your Vistalite kit! My best friend and I saw Zeppelin, April 25,1977 in Louisville, KY. We were able to get to the front of the stage. I saw John Bonham play a solo with his hands. His hands were louder than his drumsticks! He was playing that triplet (you were showing near the end of your video) and I remember he played it so fast, his hands were a blur! I am grateful for many things. One of them is that amazing concert.
Best drumming demo I have seen, well explained, unlike many such other drummer clips that just show off the drummer/teacher. Excellent. Dennis (Drummer & drum teacher for 40 years, but never too old to learn some new techniques. Thank you lots.)
the Bonham Triplet pattern towards the end is one of my go to’s when shedding, except I find it fun to alternate between L R K and R L K, or if you have a double pedal you can do 16th notes with L R K K (if you’ve got the dexterity you can still do it on a single pedal, but I have to say it’s MUCH more fun on a double)
Nice! I remember practicing these incessantly as a kid. Prolly gave my folks many migraines! Even after you get good at them ,if you don’t practice them regularly,they can start to get sloppy very quickly. It’s not as hard to get the technique down as it is to play it precisely whenever you want to pull it out of your bag-o-tricks. These should be considered a foot rudiment! Man you guys got that kit sounding EXACTLY like the hammer of the gods!
havent played drums in decades as my close (who played lead & rythm guitar) friend constantly bugged me to pick up the bass guitar & this was due to how the electric bass guitar changed during the 70s & then into the 80s... Finally i gave in a pick one up for a quick try & i was hooked but i still love the drums as much as did then as i do today & every great band needs a great rythm section which id call the engine room & it was the engine room that moved songs aling & im glad i played drums before picking up the bass as it was so much easier to play off each other & get whatever rythm was needed for each song... Alas my ailing ill health prevents me from even thinking of taking up drums again & the double blow is i can barely play my bass or acoustic guitars anymore either but i wouldnt change it as i still love music & how its created & as long as i still have my hearing i'll be enjoying music on daily basis to get me by each day... The funny thing is i always thought it would be my hearing to go first & though it has diminished to about 70% i should be deaf for all the years of rehearsing in studios/recording & playing on the road & for me music will always be my first love in all its various genres through out time... I've got to say i enjoyed how you broke that all down so that even self taught player's can understand it also... I have quite a few Led Zeppelin songs on my phone but it love playing " Bonzos Montreajux " & i never tire of listening to Bonzo til this day as greatness never ages... In light of this still ongoing coronavirus stay safe and healthy wherever you are in this world...
These lesson have helped me tremendously! Practice slow at first to get the sticking clean then added some speed. Then added the crossovers! Dam it sounds nice when you finally get it! Thanks Brian
Its the coolest thing when youre in a group of musicians and the name Bonham can be mentioned and every single person there regardless of what instrument they play has a story of how Bonham has inspired them. The man in body is gone but he'll never die.
I've been Singing in bands for over 40 years and it still amazes me what you guys do on drums. It seems like you have to divide your brain in half and constantly think about so many different things at once to play a drum set. I'm sure with enough practice it becomes second nature like anything else.
Yah the key is to practice enouph until it becomes muscle memory so that our attention can divert to staying locked in with the band or into adding new colors. Once 3 of your limbs can keep time using muscle memory you can focus on your 4th and all of the other variations of that example. Imo that's how it should be with all instruments. Everybody should learn their part by muscle memory so that their main focus can be on meshing as a band. Like if your learning a song to jam live make sure you know the difference between practice and rehearsal. Practice should be alone going over the notes and chords getting the song down, playing to the recording esc. Then once everyone has that then you rehearse it together and get used to the minor changes that are bound to happen. That's when bands are tiiight. They all practiced then rehearsed then played live. This is a bit long my bad
@@dylanbaldwin7934 I've been a lead singer in bands for well over 40 years, I've written over 700 originals and you guys still amaze me. Drums are my favourite instrument.
I am 75 just, I played right from the early sixties, but have not played for years, still got my kit but its not in a good state having been in my garage for the past 25yrs. Unlike you I am not tempted to play anymore, having been there done that, lost the T shirt. I agree with you he teaches very well, no edge to him.His Kit sounds great too.
The opening beat... when I was in high school, I would do every day for 20 minutes against a metronome, and my bass pedal speed and stamina went through the roof in about a month.
Same man I practiced this a lot. And I like playing a lot of metal. Rock and jazz as well. But anyway since I like to play metal and I started with a single kick I wanted to have fast feet to do like thrash metal beats. And sure enough I practiced so much. I can play rolls and everything with one foot!
The best explained lesson I’ve seen yet- Loved the double in front of the triplet - Not sure if I’m explaining myself correctly but instead of hitting a single kick, high hat, double kick…. One of the examples you started with a double kick, I loved it completely a bonham newnuance…. Great lesson!!!
Seen a lot of Bonham triplet videos. And have my own ability to play them for a long time. But! This guys intro played the triplets with a cleanliness and meaning that sets it apart from the other videos. He says the pattern with respect for sound and motif. Cool drum teacher, respects the patterns as musical input
It’s almost something you can’t directly teach..I mean of course it can be taught haha and this gentleman does a great rendering of it. (Thank you for the video btw). I’m great full this.functional interpretation teaching was made. 🙏🏻 However in my case, what struck me most was what you said about fiddling around with it as a kid, over and over …and yes over and over again. Just to add my thought to 5his brilliant short teaching hits my button on the head, cause when I can tell people I can teach you drumming in half hour, it’s all all about how much time and effort you put in to practicing the lessons. That’s said, for any new drummers or drummers that want to improve, take all you can get out if this brief lesson. If you just practice the heck out it….then take step back… breathe….close your eyes and just let it come to you, the more you try to force it the more frustrating it will be. Mix that child like love of the drums we all have, and just let it flow…granted it’s many hrs of practice required of course, but I promise, you will get the results you want and even find news tricks by adding your own personal groove styles in the process. Always be motivated by the true love of drumming. Let the guide inside 🙏🏻be your drive til it become as natural as the grass. (Please forgive my grammar and spelling I know I’m a difficult read lol. What can I say, I’m a drummer 🤷♂️) And you’ll get that magical drummer feeling you deeply desire. I promise. ❤️🙏🏻 excellent video. Perfect for drummers of all ages. Thank you.🙏🏻
I know everyone has worn u out with this comment, but, "very nice verbal instruction, very nice, yet also very clearly demonstrated with ur playing as well."
When I was growing up , it was all new and first. 62 y.o. Amazing new sounds, patterns, and inventions like the synthesizer, wawa pedals, buzz pedals, and on and on.
Very nice job. You explain this very well. I learned the left, right, foot many years ago. I've also played the kick shuffle, but it is always sloppy for me. This will help tighted it up! Thank you and once again, good job!
I used the heel toe for my doubles. I discovered this when I was young playing in a country band doing Cottoneyed Joe. I would practice on the double beat while doing the song. Then, on Orange Blossom Special, I threw in the double on the bass and double on the snare, making it sound like a train. I used this on a lot of rock songs.
Not even a drummer, but that was a great video explaining Bonzo trips! A Band can't be a great Rock Band without a great drummer! The heart of it all so the lead guitar can leave and head into space and still find their way back in! Bonzo, Baker, Perth, Appice and the Crazy Man Moon were a big part of those bands being Great!
A similar sound is achieved on the Bonzo triplets if going L R K L R K R L K L R K (avoiding the crossover). I do this as a drill when warming up to break-up the muscle memory of starting with a certain hand, or setting up the next stroke more efficiently. Of course, the way in the video looks WAY more impressive! Haha… Loved this! Thank you! Oh…NICE SHIRT!!! 🤘
Este video me está inspirando a retomar de nuevo mis tambores olvidados, gracias Drumeo y a este chico, por explicar a detalle los ritmos de Bonham, saludos desde México!
I learned these type triplets yrs ago and found it very frustrating at first, then after finding my balance and comfort level, that's when I finally got better at them. Learned to play on single pedal, then after some yrs bought double pedal. But, I still mainly use single pedal, just wanted to get my speed built up on double bass and I love playing double bass too.
for those of you who think that this is impossible. i finally got it after about 7 months practicing it about 2 hours a week. Most of it in 15 minute shots focusing only on that excercise left right kick. This is the most useful drum lesson i've benifited from on utub.

Have you seen that 8 year old Japanese girl cover Good Times, Bad Times? She does it flawlessly.
Can confirm. Took me 2 months of solid practise, but I found practising is easier if you loosen the spring tension on your kick pedal
i need to learn this in 5 days :’(
Brian explains bonham stuffs way better and easily than other drum coach
Respect to this guy 🤘
easier because he has not got it right at all!
@@TheMentalblockrock can you do it better
@@journeystarr Your comment is irrelevant - I'm a guitarist and I know of drummers who can do Bonham a lot better than this.
@@TheMentalblockrock LMAO your a guitarist commenting on how well a drummer does on Bonham , Brian does a great job
There's one other teacher who is 8 years old and teaches the Bonham triplets quite well :)

I’ve never seen Bonham’s magic demystified quite so well.
Bonham was magic...snother planet and galaxi DRUMS..SIMPLE
He was a reincarnated King from ancient past. You have no idea.
I agree, have learned a lot from this channel.
Since first hearing Zeppelin from my sisters bedroom and playing drums in the marching band at the time.

Alas my ailing ill health prevents me from even thinking of taking up drums again & the double blow is i can barely play my bass or acoustic guitars anymore either but i wouldnt change it as i still love music & how its created & as long as i still have my hearing i'll be enjoying music on daily basis to get me by each day...
The funny thing is i always thought it would be my hearing to go first & though it has diminished to about 70% i should be deaf for all the years of rehearsing in studios/recording & playing on the road & for me music will always be my first love in all its various genres through out time...
I've got to say i enjoyed how you broke that all down so that even self taught player's can understand it also...
I have quite a few Led Zeppelin songs on my phone but it love playing " Bonzos Montreajux " & i never tire of listening to Bonzo til this day as greatness never ages...
In light of this still ongoing coronavirus stay safe and healthy wherever you are in this world...
In all honesty this is the first time since the dawn of the internet someone has felt it like Bonham. Solid man
This is one of the best videos on Drumeo. I’ll be practicing this later today.
Fantastic lesson and the drums are impeccably tuned to John Bonhams sound.
These lesson have helped me tremendously! Practice slow at first to get the sticking clean then added some speed. Then added the crossovers! Dam it sounds nice when you finally get it! Thanks Brian
This is a technique that's never had a more simplified explanation. Thank you.
Brian thank you . You are one of the best drummers today . Saw you at the Bonzo bash in LA. Had the greatest time thank you. Love your drumming man
I don't play any instrument, but I love music. This was an excellent explanation and drumming demonstration. Thumbs up.
An immaculate rendition of the Bonham triplet, kudos and thumbs up.
Drumeo - keeping it ego free since I can remember.
Great lesson and Brian looks likes the type of fella who would encourage rather than discourage
Its the coolest thing when youre in a group of musicians and the name Bonham can be mentioned and every single person there regardless of what instrument they play has a story of how Bonham has inspired them. The man in body is gone but he'll never die.
Got to love Brian such a killer drummer always so solid no matter who he plays with
I taught this myself years ago and I go FOOT - RIGHT - LEFT. I like the kick being on the down beat it flows into a crash to end the fill.
Who doesn't love triplets!? This guy is a True Monster drummer!
My mind is blown. You just cleared up so many things for me. Thank you. You are great!
Amongst a world of Bonham vids this stands out as excellent
Brian Tishy is THE authority on all things Bonzo!!
Brian plays the cleanest Bonham licks around. Great feel
I've been Singing in bands for over 40 years and it still amazes me what you guys do on drums. It seems like you have to divide your brain in half and constantly think about so many different things at once to play a drum set. I'm sure with enough practice it becomes second nature like anything else.
Yah the key is to practice enouph until it becomes muscle memory so that our attention can divert to staying locked in with the band or into adding new colors. Once 3 of your limbs can keep time using muscle memory you can focus on your 4th and all of the other variations of that example. Imo that's how it should be with all instruments. Everybody should learn their part by muscle memory so that their main focus can be on meshing as a band. Like if your learning a song to jam live make sure you know the difference between practice and rehearsal. Practice should be alone going over the notes and chords getting the song down, playing to the recording esc. Then once everyone has that then you rehearse it together and get used to the minor changes that are bound to happen. That's when bands are tiiight. They all practiced then rehearsed then played live. This is a bit long my bad
@@dylanbaldwin7934 I've been a lead singer in bands for well over 40 years, I've written over 700 originals and you guys still amaze me. Drums are my favourite instrument.
The kit is the perfect tribute to Bonzo for this video. Nicely done.
60 year old " Usta' be a drummer " this Guy will get me Back to drumming. Talks to you , not through you. Nicely Done. " SUBSCRIBE " !
I am 75 just, I played right from the early sixties, but have not played for years, still got my kit but its not in a good state having been in my garage for the past 25yrs. Unlike you I am not tempted to play anymore, having been there done that, lost the T shirt.
I agree with you he teaches very well, no edge to him.His Kit sounds great too.
Yes i agree comes across as a great guy...
The opening beat... when I was in high school, I would do every day for 20 minutes against a metronome, and my bass pedal speed and stamina went through the roof in about a month.
Same man I practiced this a lot. And I like playing a lot of metal. Rock and jazz as well. But anyway since I like to play metal and I started with a single kick I wanted to have fast feet to do like thrash metal beats. And sure enough I practiced so much. I can play rolls and everything with one foot!
The “Bonzo Fury Lick”. Yeah! You were doing it spot on, too. Love it.
We got the same last name!
@@dylanbaldwin7934 A great one.
OMG I HAVE IT TOO
The best explained lesson I’ve seen yet-
Loved the double in front of the triplet -
Not sure if I’m explaining myself correctly but instead of hitting a single kick, high hat, double kick….
One of the examples you started with a double kick, I loved it completely a bonham newnuance….
Great lesson!!!
Excellent demonstration, thank you.
I am a simple man
I sew Bonham I click
In addition to be an amazing drummer, this guy is a great teacher.
Seen a lot of Bonham triplet videos. And have my own ability to play them for a long time. But! This guys intro played the triplets with a cleanliness and meaning that sets it apart from the other videos. He says the pattern with respect for sound and motif. Cool drum teacher, respects the patterns as musical input
I could never figure out how he does that triplet fill with the toms and kick. Thanks for demonstrating it 🤘🏾
It’s almost something you can’t directly teach..I mean of course it can be taught haha and this gentleman does a great rendering of it. (Thank you for the video btw). I’m great full this.functional interpretation teaching was made. 🙏🏻
However in my case, what struck me most was what you said about fiddling around with it as a kid, over and over …and yes over and over again.
Just to add my thought to 5his brilliant short teaching hits my button on the head, cause when I can tell people I can teach you drumming in half hour, it’s all all about how much time and effort you put in to practicing the lessons.
That’s said, for any new drummers or drummers that want to improve, take all you can get out if this brief lesson. If you just practice the heck out it….then take step back… breathe….close your eyes and just let it come to you, the more you try to force it the more frustrating it will be. Mix that child like love of the drums we all have, and just let it flow…granted it’s many hrs of practice required of course, but I promise, you will get the results you want and even find news tricks by adding your own personal groove styles in the process. Always be motivated by the true love of drumming. Let the guide inside 🙏🏻be your drive til it become as natural as the grass. (Please forgive my grammar and spelling I know I’m a difficult read lol. What can I say, I’m a drummer 🤷♂️)
And you’ll get that magical drummer feeling you deeply desire. I promise. ❤️🙏🏻 excellent video. Perfect for drummers of all ages. Thank you.🙏🏻
Brian Tichy plays and teaches Bonzo’s techniques better than anyone IMO! Cheers!
This is the best triplet video on drums I have found, you explained it very well. Thank you for taking the time to share.
A great drum lesson by a drummer who can actually drum. There are so many drummer wannabes love to teach in TH-cam.
I know everyone has worn u out with this comment, but, "very nice verbal instruction, very nice, yet also very clearly demonstrated with ur playing as well."
That kit sound PHENOMENAL!
When I was growing up , it was all new and first. 62 y.o. Amazing new sounds, patterns, and inventions like the synthesizer, wawa pedals, buzz pedals, and on and on.
@5:09 I know most don't listen to them, but this part reminded me of the intro to Bandages.
His Snare sound 🤤 oh my god what a pleasure
3:06 cluster of triplets 😧
5:20 Bonzo fury lick 😵
All my respect!
Thank you very much for this great video and explanation of John Henry Bonham‘s triplets. You submit a lot of fun and motivation to learn this lesson.
Tischy Ludwig’s sound awesome.. tuned good and struck perfectly to draw out the goodness!
Cannons!!!!
Thank you! In my room with COVID, a pair of sticks and a practice pad. You're keeping me sane!
Very nice job. You explain this very well. I learned the left, right, foot many years ago. I've also played the kick shuffle, but it is always sloppy for me. This will help tighted it up! Thank you and once again, good job!
U r the best drummer On TH-cam 👌👍🏻
Man, I remember learning that about 50 years ago. Thanks, great stuff!
Yep 45 years for me John was and still is my teacher
I used the heel toe for my doubles. I discovered this when I was young playing in a country band doing Cottoneyed Joe. I would practice on the double beat while doing the song. Then, on Orange Blossom Special, I threw in the double on the bass and double on the snare, making it sound like a train. I used this on a lot of rock songs.
This is the best instruction for one of the most complicated moves for me. Now, time to practice.
That snare sound is on point.
YES!!!
Not even a drummer, but that was a great video explaining Bonzo trips! A Band can't be a great Rock Band without a great drummer! The heart of it all so the lead guitar can leave and head into space and still find their way back in! Bonzo, Baker, Perth, Appice and the Crazy Man Moon were a big part of those bands being Great!
This never gets old !!
Sounds so amazingly great !!!
A similar sound is achieved on the Bonzo triplets if going L R K L R K R L K L R K (avoiding the crossover). I do this as a drill when warming up to break-up the muscle memory of starting with a certain hand, or setting up the next stroke more efficiently. Of course, the way in the video looks WAY more impressive! Haha… Loved this! Thank you! Oh…NICE SHIRT!!! 🤘
Este video me está inspirando a retomar de nuevo mis tambores olvidados, gracias Drumeo y a este chico, por explicar a detalle los ritmos de Bonham, saludos desde México!
Brian's a TRUE Rock Drummer 😊😊
"Bonzo Fury Licks."
That guy was a rock god.
Oh man… wow. Nice. Drums, rythm, the essence of all music.
Undoubtably a super good lesson in terms of clarity.
Thank you jared falk and drumeo for updating me all your new videos...thanks a lot!
この三連はボンゾもドン・ブリューワーも右手からじゃなかったっけ？
因みに、私も左手から叩きます。50年前は映像も無く、右利きドラムセットの特性から自然と左手からコピーしていました。
昔からこのフレーズを叩いていたエルビン・ジョーンズはどちらからなのでしょうか？🙄
Amazing sounding kit, beautifully tuned.
You explain very well and practical. Very nice. Youre a good teacher.
I learned these type triplets yrs ago and found it very frustrating at first, then after finding my balance and comfort level, that's when I finally got better at them. Learned to play on single pedal, then after some yrs bought double pedal. But, I still mainly use single pedal, just wanted to get my speed built up on double bass and I love playing double bass too.
Such a good teacher and player. I really appreciate the gift of his knowledge!
Those Ludwig Vistalite’s, got that tone dialed in! Props, well done, love me some Bonham.
To watch little Yoyoka explain Bonham's triples are heart melting 😍 and she plays them best of all.....
Brian is a freaking bad ass I love his drumming!
Awesome coordination remembering 6 or 7 things at once is equivalent to juggling that amount I reckon🙂
Well done to the drumming
Best drum lesson I ever learned, thanks man. Too dope.
My biggest regret was 35 years ago when I picked up a guitar instead sitting behind a kit.
So satisfying to have watched this video.
This is everything a drum tutorial video should be.
Wow! Perfectly and plainly explained and demonstrated. I’ve never seen anyone break it down like that. Not even my pro drum teacher.
