Was John Bonham the best drummer in the world? …or at least the best in your books? In this 9 minute video, Brandon Toews breaks down 9 of John Bonham’s top grooves on a Ludwig memorial kit modeled by Ronn Dunnett after Bonzo’s stainless drums! (Psst: click here for some free Led Zeppelin drum transcriptions: https://www.drumeo.com/beat/22-free-led-zeppelin-drum-transcriptions/) 0:00 - Introduction 0:19 - Good Times Bad Times This song was really the first time the world heard Bonham on a record. Keep your right hand on the cowbell while you play through this four bar phrase from verse 1. Focus on the bass drum doubles played as triplets and keep the 8th notes going on the hi-hat with your left foot. 1:19 - Immigrant Song One of Bonham’s most famous grooves, you’ll get a kick (ha) out of the syncopated 16th note bass drum pattern.

This phrase comes from verse 6, but you’ll hear the same underlying idea in all verse sections. 2:44 - Ramble On This chorus groove’s offbeat syncopated bass drums line up perfectly with the bass part. Listen to those ghost notes at the end of the 2-bar phrase. 3:38 - The Song Remains The Same Those hi-hats are loose and keep a quarter note pulse while syncopated kicks drive the song underneath. 4:21 - When The Levee Breaks This is possibly the most controversial Zeppelin track (the delay on the record makes it sound like there are extra hits).

Get a load of those over the bar line snare fills and syncopated kicks before it ends with a bar of 9/8. 7:14 - Trampled Under Foot This beat was inspired by Stevie Wonder (“Superstition“) and funk music, and it was part of Led Zeppelin’s touring set from 1975-1980. This verse features loose hi-hats and doubles on the kick drum. 7:57 - Rock And Roll Did you know this drum intro comes directly from a 1957 recording of “Keep A Knockin'” by Little Richard?
