What Makes John Bonham Such a Good Drummer?

Are you interested in learning how to make your own video essays?

If so, I've got some exciting news. I'm exploring the possibility of putting together a cohort based course where I can teach video essay skills. This would involve working directly with me and a small group of your peers to put together your own video essay. It would be a hands on class where we would have live sessions learning skills and analyzing other video essays.

This would be less about hard skills like editing in After Effects, and more about high concept knowledge like ideation, creating and sticking to a schedule, writing scripts, and finding visual inspiration.

Right now, I think the price for the first cohort would be ~$800, but I am still playing around with that.

If this is the sort of thing that seems interesting to you, please apply here: @t

The more interest this gets, the more likely it is that this course will come to fruition, so please share this link around as well.

Thanks,

As a drummer, who got my first LZ 45 at 4 years old, the biggest key to LZ's greatness is Bonzo and JPJ's perfect blend of power and funk.

Mä ei siis ole todemlidts

Tä. Ä on epätodellista.

Il sait monter les œufs en neige !

“Listen a little closer to the drummer”, that’s literally all I pay attention to.

I always thought Bonham looked like he was wearing a wig and fake mustache.

Pure genius.

Amazing.

What an incredible video. I love the drums but do not know how to read or play. This was incredibly fascinating.

la stampa di regime ...

Greatest rock band. Ever !

A banda era perfeita. Vocal.guitarra.baixo.bateria. the Best. Eu amo o led Zeppelin.

you should do a video on skinny puppy, revolutionary canadian band <3

He was the best because he was one of a kind. He invented sounds never heard before or since.

This kid sounds like he doesnt even shave and hes telling us about Bonham. Go sit in the corner bud.

If Helen of Troy had a face that launched a thousand ship then John Bonhams drumming lit the fire for hundreds of thousands drummers. I was 8 yrs. Old when I heard when the levee breaks and I was mesmerized.

Too much bla bla...

Zeppelin is one of the greatest bands ever

Pipe band drummers play like that, the drum partitions are not really about give the rythmn but more about accompanying and accentuate others instrumentals. That's why this durmming is very technical with dead times/ counter times and all kinds of rolling effetcs. Damn the wanton song totally sound same reage against the machine.

コージーとは比較にならないぐらい スケールの大きいドラマーだ。

I watch these videos of John Bonham playing the drums and I have to say that he rocks!!!!. No offense to Jason Bonham but he can't hold a candle to his dad.

Led Zeppelin will quench and moisturize the dryness of your soul

Makes me want to play a Led Zepp album nice and loud.

Was habt ihr immer mit John Bonham es gibt mittlerweile bessere

Thanks for this really well done analysis and presentation. Already love Led Zeppelin's music and great talent, but this really makes me appreciate everything that went into their songs even more.

"Hello boys and girls, my name is Jimmy Carl Black, I am the Indian of the band". HE was a great drummer. Saw him twice live. King Kong...

When bonzo died the band did not die with it they were waiting on Jason there is there is a famous quote one of the band members said I will never play with that another JB on the on the drum set in quote

Great short. Great Drummer. There could be a little more about his influences.

My wife and I were sitting at a red light with Zeppelin quietly playing in the background. She turns up the music and said, "This drummer is pretty good." 😂😂 I said, "You think?" She asked who it was, said she never heard of him. I informed her that he's widely considered (w/ Ginger Baker and Keith Moon) one of the greatest rock drummers in history. She laughed and said, "They should keep him." I said, "He died when you were 3. He choked on his own vomit." I'm so funny sometimes.

Thank you, I loved that analysis!

Fool In The Rain is my favorite

Black Dog I heard was a very complicated song for them and I can see why. Amazing how they all were able to keep time

Anything poly is insane to play and play with Danny carry is a master of poly i alway wonder why he isnt credited like all the other's he had to be the best modern drummer for those who dont know its the drummer from tool

Black dog they were the first band i ever heard to use that strange very hard change been copied a million times but its still hard lol

G.O.A.T

mades Him the Second Language of Guitars >>Plays Along as a Ryhthemm DRUMS @ SameTime.

I had no idea! Me: bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanzee....

Still alive 🙏❤

Żadna finezja, równo i mocno walił i tyle w temacie, do tego rodzaju muzyki był najlepszy, bo to nie jazz, ale rock symfoniczny!

Super overrated

Bonham died this day in 1980......R.I.P. my friend I remember you. 2023

I confess. My only interest in Led was Plant. Now , 40 years later, I am learning to pay attention to the other artists in the band. The fact that they chose to not continue without Bonham speaks volumes to the respect they had.

Not one mention of syncopation? Really?

Id love you to listen to Remi from the Stone Roses.

He's sooo under rated.

Thanks, makes me appreciate his genius even more.

Not that good on opening stuff. Lost me.
