JOHN BONHAM When The Levee Breaks, LED ZEPPELIN Bonzo Lives!

[MASAI97]

This dude is secretly advertising Ludwig...and it's working :D

[Lastshadow94]

Out of curiosity, what pedals are you playing?

[petecatz]

@Lastshadow94....original Ludwig Speed King.

[ph1lo]

simple and timeless. Liking the sunnies too! ha

[kentishtowncowboy]

Great Stuff! and you made it look easy - but everyone knows it's difficult (and I can't play drums anyway). Well done.

[sergerobledo]

Like it, the audio isn't pretty good but you're a great drummer, have the feeling of our dear Bonzo

[petecatz]

@sergerobledo thanks man......sorry about the audio I'm not much of a recording kinda guy. Bonzo was great and he touched the hearts of many people.

[smegweevil]

Really great job. To my ear, when Bonham played it, he did not hit the hi-hat when he hit the snare. I don't think that is the case but it that is what I hear so I imagine there is more swing there.

[seanmac231]

You're awesome mate....:-)

[petecatz]

@seanmac231 thanks dude!

[southsaturndelta220]

million dollar kit :) nice.

[ClassicRockfan79]

you sir are amazing!!!!

[petecatz]

@ClassicRockfan79 thanks man

[ClassicRockfan79]

@petecatz youre welcome brother.. so tell me where did you learn how to bring down all that thunder?

[dmarkj22]

You my friend just officially earned your man card

[Mr11MUSICMAN]

Great cover!

[CNCTEMATIC]

@petecatz bummer. these would be worth their weight then! I thought you needed to record in the tower of some old scottish castle to get that 'levee' sound, with the drummer at the bottom and one mic at the top! must be an urban legend.

[einarabelc5]

@CNCTEMATIC The original track is said to be slowed down in the studio.

[moheka30]

awesome dude

[CNCTEMATIC]

dude! EPIC rock kick + snare sound! can u give some more specs on what ludwig drums they are?

[ifilmmaker]

good drumming dude!

[kasavubu]

I'm no drummer but great ambience and tuning, just right. Also terrific playing. Enjoyed my favourite groove. Thank you.

[itsyaboyitsyaboy]

damn your in beast mode

[MadShepard]

some goofs in there but super close and definitely better than I can do. great lookin kit too man thanks for sharing!

[jdfred1970]

I like what it says at the top "Bonzo lives" , hell yes , as long as people keep playin' Zeppelin songs....he has no idea how much he inspired so many people to rock on the drums , I want to begin the learning to play and I should have along time ago but , it;s never to late, RIGHT ? lol ..... great vid , I enjoyed it thanks

[Floydfan717]

hey dude' you remind me of Rambo and Bonzo chillin' on the 'wigs *** RAMZO RULES !!!!

[gibsongold1970]

nice tribute! very solid!

[bmx3r101]

Your face is fucking amazing.

[arzyTUBE]

love your groove man

[IAmSgtPepper]

You don't even look when you're playing. That combined with your sunglasses made me suspect that you were blind.

[edgeyzfr1350]

@IAmSgtPepper .....

if you play drums for any amount of time you learn that they dont move around on you---its not like hitting a baseball.

[Cpost01]

You look so cool in your sun glasses.

[dewslife33]

awsome.

[XXXbigpinusXXX]

would you sell me your ludwig?? :)

[LucaCava94]

@XXXbigpinusXXX I asked first! XD

[ledzepp549]

[jasmmmm]

Now THIS is how you play 'Levee', boys and girls.

Hammer of the gods, indeed.

[hicksdude93]

the constant stare that he has.. hes saying. "Im a badass" lol

[wonderouswonderloo]

Fuckin powerful

[VanHalenLedZeppelin7]

Man I wish I had a ludwig.

[kentuckydad]

Well done! You make it look easy, and I know it cant be easy..

[JohnCena2011]

@kentuckydad It is easy

[PAULisDEADMANnumber9]

that set-up is GEAR!!!

[willai90]

Are you stoned?!

[Mthrsuperior]

OMFG YOUR KIT! You pretty much nail it to. Everybody else around here kills it.

[ixnxiablefulable]

Is that a 15" Hat?

[slashingrod2]

superb! i love playing this track on my drums!

[leatherface12345]

I can Tell You have seen some shit back in the day! Keep Rocing From Florida!

[Remasterdon]

You look cool man. I can already imagine what kind of person you were back in the days.

[3star2nr]

do Achilles last stand next!!!!

[zackattack94]

this kind of reminds me of keith moon's drum set

[AGuyThatPlaysGames]

Your drums sound like Zeus raining down thunder on the world.

[petecatz]

@AGuyThatPlaysGames thanks.....I like the Zeus thing LOL!

[JustinPierce1226]

Great sounding drums. I just started playing drums around a month ago or so. If you could view my video, and give me any pointers, I would love the advice! I have never had lessons and I learned how to play by ear and feel only.

[rael1999]

Nice ghosting on the snare there fella !

[m1bug]

im watching this clp over and over bcoz this , for me, guy has the most superb beautiful drumset of all time.. The most superb drumset should be a ludwig of course.  And, this is my favourite drum track, Bohnam is a master, this rythm makes feel like dreaming u r a giant stomping the city. Good cover Sir, lucky u are to be the owner of these.

[chevroletman90]

john bonham"thunder of drums"

[GranDrJ]

O man this is great pete, keep it up

one zephead to another

[Suedkampen]

your playing is very great :) but your camcorder..... not the best

[123rockdrummer]

what kind of kit is that?

It looks great

[wootoodoo]

like how the drums sound like gunshots

[chrapko1]

not bad come to detroit !!!

[vichosm]

John Henry Bonham Bonzo

[jesseroman3]

So simple yet so efective!

[poshi12]

you should get a rack for your kit!It makes navigating a large kit like yours much easyer!Good job!

[koreldar]

holy balls man you have this song nailed. the beat was perfect and the fills were spot on. the ONLY thing i noticed was you missed getting back on beat a couple times after pauses in the song. but you come in right on time anyway, so it still sounds amazing :)

I wish I was this good and that I had your drumset lol

[alberzeta]

It sounds John Bonham totally perfect. Awesome. Did you put a microphone in drums to get it?. Sorry for my poor english.

[WEEtie97]

where did u get that tom supporter? what brand is it and how much did it cost? i really need one like that cuz im getting another bass drum for my Ludwig kit of course and thats what i want answer back thank you!

[midyrvette]

Excellent drumming plus loud Ludwig's. Excellent cover of this great Led Zeppelin song! Extra points for the cool shades

[StoneDrum07]

HOLY SHIT Bonzo does live.

You have the exact same double bass kit he uses and his signature super cool sun glasses and stiff arm posture.

[blacklightdeep]

and there is more kit stacked behind you? haha nice work.

[DiCola119]

Im a guitarist but i still idolize bonzo

[JOEZEPPI1968]

tuning is key and u got a good tuning goin on in your spare time can u do a vid of kashmir

[2guysandagirl1992]

nice kit...you're missing the double at the beginning but other than that it's a great job

[pawnshopguitars]

Grade A man! Love this song so much, and Bonzo shines through in this performance. MORE!!!

[surfing17]

my fav Zeppelin song. Nice Bonzo cover

[carrots38]

diggin the shades dude, nice kit and amazing job

[waylo4526]

man you nailed it keep it up and have fun

[sleggarri]

Excellent Job! You make it look easy. I play guitar and don't know much about drums other than it sure sounds cool. What's the level of difficulty for this song?I'd love to play it someday.

[julescicle]

snare is killer. cannot and never will beat ludwig. nice track

[amiememe]

LUDWIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JerrodLegg]

Dude, your kit is badass

[noob64000]

[Zeppelindude628]

yeah Jimmy Page is my inspiration

[BitzRitz1988]

What the fuck Jimmy Page isn't overated and he can play a clean lead, shit.

[Zeppelindude628]

great cover dude! even though im not a drummer, Bonham will always be my favorite drummer and if i ever did learn how to play drums, he would be my instant inspiration..

you do John justice! great job dude!

[skatertweek13]

[walawala78]

BOOM BOOM

[aczeppelindc2908]

[GuitarMan4394]

That sounds just like the album, nice work

[midyrvette]

I am in awe of your kit, man that is sweet!

Great cover!

[TheHenryCatman]

Hey man, great cover, I was just wondering if you have based ur set up on the KISS drummer Eric Singer, it looks very similar...

[krappenfest]

that's a badass kit u got there.

[trock355]

not bad at all. i really love the kit. i always love those old ludwig's.

[EC1000]

sounds great man. I'm a guitar player but I've always been so inspired by bonzo-such a sense of swing, groove, and artistry in his playing-he's definitely my fav part of zep(if I can pick a fav part)

[allthat1231]

yo.. nice man... u the bomb... i love this song.. and i was playing at my friends house and i still cant perfect it just yet.. so ima gunna practice.. lol.. yea... but from all the other comments.. i kno ur not blind or anything... but in this vid.. somehow u rlly look like ur blind... hahaha idk... grea job anyways.. keep it up

[outlaw6066]

Damn! How many Ludwig stainless steel kits you have? Im so jealous.

[erectionaffection]

dude if you were blind and played all these tunes like you do you would be immortal you would rule over neil pert and bonham dave lombardo paice bill ward sheiss whats up with that bloke peace man

[erectionaffection]

yeah bonzo lives my favorite zep song i think beastie boys sampled this on one of there albums anyway who cares you rock dude love the ian paice shades killer

[halfhead1004]

nice effort mang. Love Zep muchly. One suggestion tho, if ur going to record drums, have a mic behind it and nice and high. Picks it up quite nicely. Otherwise wiked!

[alexledzepguy]

Well controlled.

[MetalChick1982]

what language... very well said, too bad im none of those things.... Try typing full words next time instead of just letters, you get a better result, and that just goes to show me that you didnt check what you wrote before posting.... Thanks for the comment

[MetalChick1982]

yeah and if you look at the keyboard the 's' and the 'd' are right next to each other so it was a typo......

dick head!!!!

[LazyBastard69]

[Mandog77]

[MetalChick1982]

^_^

[13x6]

[Hereinmyhead102]

[13x6]

Bet you're sick to death of people telling you that you look like Gene Simmonds ... ?

[fortleys]

really great sound...two thumbs up

[Phrase]

Sounds great dude!

Nice kit too.

Are those wood drums with metal cover finish or stainless steel shells? 26" kicks?

[cwazycat]

From a cwazycat to a petecatz, that was great! I love music, and you may enjoy my favorites. If you invite me to subscribe, I will, and I don't do that to often. Thanks! Good job on my favorite song! I wish you success, from America! Peace, and Rock on!

[diogornuto]

WOW! You are fucking great! I love those fills at the end! You put to shame everyone on youtube. Rock on dude!

[YeZhik5]

Everyone except all those great Led Zeppelin videos out there

[cuthbertallbad]

I love that loud distorted crash. If I had my own drum kit, boy, would I blast this song day and night until the end of time.

[AdamHansenDrums]

[AdamHansenDrums]

Awesome! what sizes are those drums?

[whiskypapa]

Good sound.
