McSeven Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Did Bonzo actually use four drum sticks to perform the song? If so, it changes my perspective of the song. I saw a youtube drum clinic, and the guy used four sticks to play 4 sticks. Mc7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Michael Lee used four sticks in tribute to Bonzo when Page and Plant did this song, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love that song with its several movements! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't Robert comment on how Bonzo used the four sticks in the Unledded dvd before they play the song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he doesn't mention his name but says something like it's in memory of the previous drummer who used four sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackDog71 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I believe this might be one of the most under appreciated tracks that they have. Not to all...but to a lot of Zep fans that i talk to. Either way......wonderful song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way......wonderful song. I agree, I just think it's an incredibly successful 'experiment' from Zep. This is the kind of thing that really puts them in another league, to me. And as a drummer I can assure you, it's difficult to play with two sticks, let alone four! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another testament to his virtuosic gift. And yes, Blackdog, maybe this under appreciation will change once more people view it LIVE on the No Quarter DVD. It's really great fun to watch, as they move into the waltz-y movement...the cymbals crashing, etc. Very rhapsodic, to me. Can't help but move your head back n forth, in your element.

Evster2012 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 And if you can get ahold of them (Empress Valley Lost Sessions Vol. 2 Bombay Magic), they recorded several takes, along with Friends, with the Bombay Symphony in 1972. Hypnotic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
