Ethan Christensen Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hey, I've been looking around on YouTube and elsewhere about the way Bonham played this beat. Everyone I've seen play this beat plays it with on hand on the high hat and plays the groove that way. But the way I hear it he plays with two hands on the high hat, going R-L-R-L-R-R-L-R-L-R-L-R. I have been playing it this way for a long time and it sound great and it also sound just like he plays it. I should have a video on YouTube soon with me playing it. But what do you think?

Glyn Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I don't know if this will help, but here is a Bonham drum outtake from "Fool In The Rain." Might help you to better hear what he's playing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMaYgH0TQZY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woz70 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Bonzo got it from Bernard "pretty" Purdy, and you get a pretty damn good look at how Mr. Purdy himself does it in the following video - only one stick on the hi-hat. The only song I can think of in the entire Zep canon where Bonzo goes for two sticks on the 'hats is in 'In My Time Of Dying'. Purdy gets 'down to business' at 2:40. Love how much's enjoying just playing!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8DsNo4KB6Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woz70 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Royal Orleans? Hmmm... not sure. I think he's just being quick with his right hand there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
