fsmith9095 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Here's a bit of the pre-song chatter and Bonzo drumming taken from an alternate take/mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bonham Fan Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Most people think its a filler track. I think its one of the best tracks on the album. How many drummers before bonham could have thought to use 4 sticks on a track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstickbonzo Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I've always said, I guess we have Ginger Baker to thank for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triplet Kick Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 And if you listen very hard... you can hear the sticks clicking together throughout the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaneCool Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Four Sticks a filler track? It's one of my favorites off IV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDog71 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I love that song and his drumming is so pleasing to my ears. It's one of those songs that makes you realize how truly amazing Bonzo, and the band as a whole, really was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonzoLikeDrumer Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Um I don't know. Any drummers here know what the big deal is? I do love this track Don't know what to say about this, I was only 5 years old when they formed the group so, I for sure wouldn't have thought of using more that 2 stick's! Think I did try it once back in my youth when I first heard about him doing it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerzubs Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Most people think its a filler track. This song is anything but a filler. It is one of my favorites and the beat and rhythm is so catchy I could hum it all day long. I love that song and his drumming is so pleasing to my ears. It's one of those songs that makes you realize how truly amazing Bonzo, and the band as a whole, really was. This and songs like The Rover is what sets them apart from other bands. The fact that they would try new and innovative things like this and succeed is just breathtaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
