Hey...why are they called "triplets" when there are clearly FOUR drum hits? (My former drummer called them "duh-lunts" because, to him, that's what they sounded like.)
WOW, great drummer. But seriously bro you need to take tuning lessons. Those drums sound terrible. Been playing for 30 years. Tuning is as much of an art as playing.
@thompnet360 Well thanks for watching. I think they sound great. Any drum set is going to sound bad with a camera's tiny little mic picking up these huge cannon sounds. I always get comments about how I can't tune my drums. If you would like to hear what they really sound like in a studio with real mics, check out my latest video. I think you will notice a big big difference. I haven't changed a thing on them at all. It's they way Bonham wanted them tune. JOEDRUMS2112
@tmlproductions Yes it's the Ludwig Amber Vistalites just like the ones from Led Zeppelin that John Bonham used. The Cymbals are all PAISTE. Thanks for watching. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112.
I can do that thing that you start off with at 2.20 but is it the same pattern when you speed it up or are you doubling up the bass drum or are you changing it to triplets.
It sounds awesome at fast tempo if it is same as at the start of groove.
@lost4ausername Thanks for all the nice comments. When I speed it up, it's the same pattern. It takes a lot of practice to get it. So don't give up. THanks for watching. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112
@edicius00 Yea, the cymbals are all PAISTE 2002 series. Ride-24" Hi-hats-15" Sound Edge Crashes-16", 18", 20" These are what John Bonham would have used around 1974-76. They were used in the movie, "Song Remains The Same." Check it out sometime. Thanks for watching. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112
@JOEDRUMS2112 They are probably the nicest sounding cymbals ever made and probably why they still make them to this day. I'd swap my Zildjians for 2002's anyday. I stlll have an 18" 2002 crash from 20 years ago that is cracked to shit but still produces an interesting sound. Might get it cut down to a 16" one of these days.
Good stuff.. Quick suggestion though.. U should start really slow and say, like, "R L R FOOT FOOT RRLL etc etc" .. That would help tremendously.. Still good vid though thx... :)
Hi Joe! Nice drumfills. I'm a total freak of Nicko Mcbrain and most of the fills he does are influenced by Bonham. Your triplets part around 2:59-3:00 are snare,tom,floor and bass drum. Is it really done like this or is it supposed to be snare,bass drum,tom and floor?? Think about that my friend....
@bakerfam1000 Well the heads that I chose for the Led Zeppelin kit is what John Bonham picked out for his own kit. The top of the Tom heads are the CS Black Dot by REMO. The bottom of the Toms are Clear Ambassadors. The Snare head is a REMO Coated Emperor on top and a Clear Ambassador on the bottom. The Bass drum has a REMO CS Black Dot on the batter side. Then the front has the LOGO LUDWIG and I put the 3 black rings on the front of the head. Hope that helps. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112
@monkeyturd15 I know everyone says that about this video. It was the camera picking up all the loud sound of the kit. I have to record the drums with real mics and it picks up way better. I will send you a link to a recorded video of this set. Tell me what you think OK?

@ledzeppelin4304 The Bonham kit that I have was bought from a friend. He sold it to me for $1700 with SKB hard shell cases. If you bought it brand new with cymbals and stands they usually go for $5000. I always wanted a kit like this since I was little. A guy from New York saw my kit on YOUTUBE & wanted to buy it from me.

Joe, I did not see it but perhaps did you ever try his fill where he goes L L (snare) R (floor) and 2 on the bass(buh bum) similar to the snare, tom, floor, bass fill... but most of the sound comes from the bass. "da da doo buh bum.." Doug

@Ankylophobia Well the rack tom is sitting on just a snare stand. I preferred this way only because I didn't want to drill holes in my bass and tom to mount the tom arm and brackets.

Joe, not trying to be the bad guy, but you're not doing that fill correct on Stairway. I posted a clip, you can "hear" what I'm doing and it matches Bonzo exactly. Nice kit ya have there my friend!
@TheSteveartist I know your not a bad guy at all. I like constructive criticism, only thing it's the way part of the fill is done in the Zeppelin Drum Book. Check it out sometime you might be surprised. Thanks for watching. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112
@JOEDRUMS2112 Well Joe, unfortunately the book is wrong....nothing worse than a book teaching you wrong, huh? Just goes to show you don't believe everything you read!!! lol If I can get my video camera to cooperate I'll post a vid to show you guys how to do that lick! lol
You're clearly a really good drummer, but I'm pretty sure you're playing that Stairway fill incorrectly in this video. There's only one kick stroke in between each triplet, and the very last time you hit the floor tom, you should actually be hitting the snare drum and accenting it instead. Just saying, cheers!
@coolscape6 Everyone is different in the feel that they get on the pedal. You just have to use your best judgment on what feels comfortable to you. I've played with tennis shoes for 30 years. I've tried to play barefoot, but it just left me in pain. Another way is just wearing socks. Hope that helps. Keep Rockin' JEODRUMS2112

@jamirosmajicrocks What kind of pedal do you have? If it's a cheap one, try getting a Gibraltar pedal, they cost less and it's quality hardware. Check them out sometime. JOEDRUMS2112
@jamirosmajicrocks I thought that you maybe had something that was too old and bulky. Try out some pedals from the Gibraltar line at your local store. If your money is tight, this is a great solution. I do not work or nor am I a spokesperson for Gibraltar, I just use the stuff where I teach and it's been very trust worthy and holds up over the years. Great Stuff. JOEDRUMS2112
@ALEXXvsZOMBIES Thanks for nice comment. Well actually it's a 26"x14". Small one way, large the other. Hahaha. Thanks for watching. I have a lot of other vids with the Vistalite kit. Check them out. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112
@superredneck71 A buddy of mine bought for a funk band that he was in, unfortunately it was too loud and way too boomy sounding for the band, so he sold it to me for $1700 with hard shell SKB drum cases. The cases alone go about $650, so I got the kit for about $1000, the kit goes for $5000 on the net. I think I made out pretty good. : ) Thanks for watching. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112
@ Irfeas230: Joe is right... you should be able to start w/R, L, or kick, dpending on where you need to fit it in, If you just learn it one way, you're limiting yourself. Plus, it's good independence exercise.
@orfeas230 Close enough. I think everyone should learn it both ways. It just makes you a better drummer all around. Thanks for watching, Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS
@astrella I have a Hercules Mic Stand and a camera clip from another camera tripod. I use the clip from the camera stand and slid it into the mic claw with the camera attached. The Hercules stand has a built-in boom stand. It can raise up and go as high as the ceiling. Hope that helps Keep Rockin' Thanks for watching. JOEDRUMS
@Equeporquenao Starting with your left hand will change the way you sound and the way you play fills and patterns. As for the bass drum hitting one hit, you can do that as well or you can play many bass drums. Thanks for watching. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS
@dichotomism Well technically yes, but They are grouped in fours but, musically written out it's three 16th note triplets with on extra note on the bass being an 8th note. So that why you see me hitting the four drums. Good Questions though. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS
@JOEDRUMS2112 Hey Joe I thought those were 32nd note triplets like a 16th note triplet played as a single stroke four not as a sextuplet as in 1 trip let and but because its written in 32nd notes it gets that extra bass kick as in 1 trip let bass bass so the note value adds up ? yes ? no ? im nuts right?
@SOUTHPAW731 Well that's a good assumption, but every Zeppelin Drum Book on the market that I've seen calls them 16th note triplets. So I'm just calling them as they write them. If they were 32nd note triplets they would play a lot faster than that. Thanks for the info and for watching. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS
@SOUTHPAW731 well your my "go to guy" so i ll go with that. my reading is a lil weak and takes some lookin at for me. I had a peak at the "mothership" version so i was looking at a group snare , TT, Ft with 3 beams joining them so i figured 1 beam is 8th note triplet 2 is 16th and 3 is 32 but it also had 2 beams extending from that joing 2 bass drum notes then another sn ,tt ft group
What is your opinion of the original Ludwig Ghost pedal? I've got two and am thinking about going back to the Speed King, if not something else. I would prefer to stay with the Ludwig make as my entire kit, other than the Roto's, are Ludwig as well.
@trapkit1 I have a Ghost Pedal myself. I like them, but not my favorite. The spring tension is not adjustable enough to make it comfortable. Your best bet is to get a Ludwig Speed King if you want to get the feel of the Bonham foot. If the Speed King is not that big of a deal try a new pedal with new technology. Something like Pearl, DW, Gibraltar, or Axis. Some can be expensive, some are entry level and some are middle of the road. Good Luck. JOEDRUMS
@4183013 It's the way Bonham tuned his kit. It doesn't sound right because it's being recorded with the little mic on my camera. Check out some of my other vids with the vistalite kit to hear the difference. Thanks for watching. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112
@BlackPantherDrummer Well the Ludwig Speed King is what Bonham used, but other than that the Pearl would probably a little bit more reliable and can take a better beating. Hope that helps.
@BlackPantherDrummer Also the eliminator you can adjust way more with the cam systems and what not, all you can adjust on the speed king is the tension and i know this because i own one and use it.
Superb camera angle...One of the few folks on this site that seems to know and understand how to dissect Bonham's style and technique..Kudo's to you sir!
@ricardoieci It's the Ludwig 402 14" Chrome Snare. It has a 42 strand snare on the bottom. The Heads are the REMO Emperor Coated on Top, and a REMO Clear Ambassador on the snare side. Hope that helps. Keep Rockin' thanks for watching.
Hi Joe, Was wondering if you have heard Heartbreaker on the "how the west was won"(CD)? At 2:02 right before the guitar break, at first had no idea even after listening to it a million times but now think it may be the same thing you do in this video at 2:18 but just alot faster 6-7 times? Also on same cd at the very end of black dog his ending really is really smooth- got any ideas on what he was doing? In Whole lotta love at the end of "Hello Mary Lou" ? Appreciate your opinion!
Hey I have watched alot of your videos especially on your old channel, but I have a small problem. I watched the video and saw the stairway to heaven fill and the way I learned it is from the Led Zeppelin Mothership book and I'm sure you have it but look at the way they transcribed it. It isn't much different than yours but definately different have a look and let me know your input when you can. Thanks and of course keep rockin man!
@dupal00p Yea I know exactly what you are talking about. I have two other Led Zeppelin drum books and the one I followed for the video is the Bill Wheeler/Warner Brothers book. It has many things different in each book. I guess it all depends on who wrote it and what they think they hear. The only person that could play it the way it was originally is Bonham. If the book says it one way or another, I would just go with what works for me. Or You. Thanks for watching. Keep Rockin' : )
I know this has nothing to do with the drumming, but could you possibly show how you got that camera angle so well? What you use to get it above like that?
@xxkmanxx Doing shuffle rhythms with the bass drum or drums. I find if you practice with your foot in a pattern with the rest of the kit, it will be easier to get your foot going. Thanks for watching. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS
i'm having trouble with the ocean. i know the complex time signature and basic groove to that part but the transition and the bass work on the 4/4 parts is giving me a hard time. you used to have an excellent video where it was you playing but your drum mics turned off. sure wish copy rights were not an issue. can you do some pieces to it for me? the camera above like this is a HUGE help. Thanks Joe. Thanks, Joe
@JOEDRUMS2112 Hey Joe , thanks for all the good info. From this top view of your kit it looks like your 12x15 is up higher & more to the right than I can position my 12 x14 to. Was wondering if your snare stands are both the same height? I have a 2008 green sparkle classic maple zep kit I bought new with the 900 series hardware. FYI paid close to $2600 new. Ludwigs catalog shows a high & a low one. Any suggestions? KEEP ROCKIN JOE!
WHat style of music do you want to play, or do you need allround, kit since your just starting, for what its worth, i play Blues/R&R, started with a Tama Swingstar, Cheap kit, but i liked the sound.
I was wondering how you adjust your speed king pedal. I've never been able to set the adjustment screws just right to get the right amount of recoil vs. looseness of the pedal. Any recomendations?
Well you really have to play with it. They way I did it was I loosened both springs all the way and then started there. I then started tightened each lug the same amount each time till I felt like the desire bounce from the beater against the head. I don't remember how many times I turned it, but it may have been about 4 or 5 half turns. Hope that helps.
Hey...why are they called "triplets" when there are clearly FOUR drum hits? (My former drummer called them "duh-lunts" because, to him, that's what they sounded like.)

You're clearly a really good drummer, but I'm pretty sure you're playing that Stairway fill incorrectly in this video. There's only one kick stroke in between each triplet, and the very last time you hit the floor tom, you should actually be hitting the snare drum and accenting it instead. Just saying, cheers!

i was wondering if you used the "heel toe" technique on your right foot. if so, how can you do that with tennis shoes? i cant wear shoes to do it.

@coolscape6 Everyone is different in the feel that they get on the pedal. You just have to use your best judgment on what feels comfortable to you. I've played with tennis shoes for 30 years. I've tried to play barefoot, but it just left me in pain. Another way is just wearing socks. Hope that helps. Keep Rockin' JEODRUMS2112

@dichotomism Well technically yes, but They are grouped in fours but, musically written out it's three 16th note triplets with on extra note on the bass being an 8th note. So that why you see me hitting the four drums. Good Questions though. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS
JOEDRUMS2112 1 year ago 2
@JOEDRUMS2112 Hey Joe I thought those were 32nd note triplets like a 16th note triplet played as a single stroke four not as a sextuplet as in 1 trip let and but because its written in 32nd notes it gets that extra bass kick as in 1 trip let bass bass so the note value adds up ? yes ? no ? im nuts right?
SOUTHPAW731 1 year ago
@SOUTHPAW731 Well that's a good assumption, but every Zeppelin Drum Book on the market that I've seen calls them 16th note triplets. So I'm just calling them as they write them. If they were 32nd note triplets they would play a lot faster than that. Thanks for the info and for watching. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS
JOEDRUMS2112 1 year ago
@SOUTHPAW731 well your my "go to guy" so i ll go with that. my reading is a lil weak and takes some lookin at for me. I had a peak at the "mothership" version so i was looking at a group snare , TT, Ft with 3 beams joining them so i figured 1 beam is 8th note triplet 2 is 16th and 3 is 32 but it also had 2 beams extending from that joing 2 bass drum notes then another sn ,tt ft group

What is your opinion of the original Ludwig Ghost pedal? I've got two and am thinking about going back to the Speed King, if not something else. I would prefer to stay with the Ludwig make as my entire kit, other than the Roto's, are Ludwig as well.
trapkit1 1 year ago
@trapkit1 I have a Ghost Pedal myself. I like them, but not my favorite. The spring tension is not adjustable enough to make it comfortable. Your best bet is to get a Ludwig Speed King if you want to get the feel of the Bonham foot. If the Speed King is not that big of a deal try a new pedal with new technology. Something like Pearl, DW, Gibraltar, or Axis. Some can be expensive, some are entry level and some are middle of the road. Good Luck. JOEDRUMS

Also on same cd at the very end of black dog his ending really is really smooth- got any ideas on what he was doing? In Whole lotta love at the end of "Hello Mary Lou" ? Appreciate your opinion!

Hey I have watched alot of your videos especially on your old channel, but I have a small problem. I watched the video and saw the stairway to heaven fill and the way I learned it is from the Led Zeppelin Mothership book and I'm sure you have it but look at the way they transcribed it. It isn't much different than yours but definately different have a look and let me know your input when you can. Thanks and of course keep rockin man!

@dupal00p Yea I know exactly what you are talking about. I have two other Led Zeppelin drum books and the one I followed for the video is the Bill Wheeler/Warner Brothers book. It has many things different in each book. I guess it all depends on who wrote it and what they think they hear. The only person that could play it the way it was originally is Bonham. If the book says it one way or another, I would just go with what works for me. Or You. Thanks for watching. Keep Rockin' : )

@JOEDRUMS2112 Hey Joe , thanks for all the good info. From this top view of your kit it looks like your 12x15 is up higher & more to the right than I can position my 12 x14 to. Was wondering if your snare stands are both the same height? I have a 2008 green sparkle classic maple zep kit I bought new with the 900 series hardware. FYI paid close to $2600 new.

Well you really have to play with it. They way I did it was I loosened both springs all the way and then started there. I then started tightened each lug the same amount each time till I felt like the desire bounce from the beater against the head. I don't remember how many times I turned it, but it may have been about 4 or 5 half turns. Hope that helps.
