Led Zeppelin-Achilles Last Stand Drum Cover By Beau Ferchaud

[toasted4life420]

Spot on man excellent cover

[pjsbulldog67]

this is awesome,thanks,im gonna search your videos now

[ChicaneHead]

I have been trying for the past 4 years to master that triplet roll at 1.13 but I just can't play it. I'm fine on the snare but once i get to the toms I lose where I am

I am not worthy, O Holy Batterer of Skin!

Help me please, Beau, or anybody for that matter!

[eggnogfrog]

I'm in awe. I'm not worthy. You're a machine, dude.

[TaffyRaphie]

that footwork is nuts

[Romanuriel]

fucking awsome

[929DEMPSEY]

Insane cover man. I think I can play most of this song, but I have a bit of trouble with the fill at @1:13. What notes are they?

[videocircus]

@929DEMPSEY  Beau can't read drum music, so he will not be able to tell you what notes they are.

He is also completely self taught, and has never taken a single drum lesson.

Cheers.

[LedZepZoSo96]

@929DEMPSEY

The fill is over 1 bar and is made up of 7 groups of triplets.

3 groups of triplets on the snare, 2 on tom 1, then 2 on either tom 2 or floor tom. Try practising the fill slowly then slowly building up speed. You could sort of cheat on it and just play a roll over the 3 drums.

[videocircus]

@LedZepZoSo96 Beau Ferchaud does NOT read drum music, so your instructions unfortunately will do him no good. He is self taught and plays completely by ear.

[LedZepZoSo96]

@videocircus

I know? I was assisting the person that asked.

[929DEMPSEY]

@LedZepZoSo96 oh ok, thanks a heap

[varunmaini]

Oh Man ...totally Awesome ..... the plat at 8:53 was electric !!!!!! Are you Bonham reborn ???

[Mcezz606]

watching this just goes to show how fucking awesome john bonham was.

[nickm4444]

You hit it right on!!! Great job....!!

[plasshopper]

tight! totally nailed that thing at 2:26 that separates the men from the boys.

[doorsofperception187]

there should be a button for AMAZING! great cover, good job.

[Ogumomaru]

Amazing job did exactly like it is.

[TheSnakes121]

finally a drummer that can almost emulate John Bonham ... yet... miss the real!

[IronMaidenPwnz]

this is fuckin awesome

[stanbury69]

nice snare!!!



[BittenMitten]

This is amazing! BONZO LIVES ON!!!

[Mightyhumungus]

now if you'd like to see America's Mr. Bonham do it ( with some extras ) Yes with some extras.. go to my page and look 12 th one down under uploads .....

..... great job Beua hope you dont mind the plug but we must all share the Zeppelin

[Mightyhumungus]

good job but i hear some thing extra thats throwing it off at time , ur doing something with the snare extra inbetween the cymbal shots nice tho

[8avalon82]

@videocircus Love the fast rolls, like between 7:22--7:24!

~8avalon82

[Mightyhumungus]

@8avalon82 would sound better with the other floor tom there huh

[442Mustang]

Wow epic cover mate :D

[brandester32]

I just jizzed in my pants.

[nosakamati]

何ヵ所かスネアでモタルけど、オリジナルに一番近いと思う NICE PLAY

[benerack]

awesome

[Mcezz606]

finally someone does the drum fill right at 1:13 its funny watching people screw it up or just not attempt it. good to see he actually does it :P.

[blasterskv]

dude, u rock!

Cheers from serbia

[yonatawodi]

Well played man

[Polipototo2]

Just amazing man!

[deriobamba]

What time sig is this in? It seems like 4/4 but the guitar and fills come in at weird places.

[makantang]

bonham ..y u come from the grave and make a youtube video??!!

[macarthur19]

@videocircus Metal as in metal music style foot pedal and bass drum. You know what I mean?

[macarthur19]

Amazing drummer, I just can't stand the metal sounding foot pedal. Otherwise incredible!

[aeongod]

I don't understand why there are dislikes on this vid. If you went searching for drum covers to a song you must be a fan of the song and this cover is flawless!

[gred0sadir0bulla]

And this is why John Henry Bonham is the best drummer ever

[thisisnino]

Truly amazing and one of the best drummers I've ever seen! I wish I had his talent

[cala4nia]

that foot petal makes the sound so raw! i love it!

[drex48239]

what is the roll at 2:51

[zoso37148]

Six people don't know sh** about drums.

[Drummerboi104]

7:21 ... that was badass

[superamishguy]

wow hes got talent i hope i can be as good as he is. keep up the good work

[LtWhiteWolf]

Bot to say Beau, all your Led Zepp cover are just AWESOME. I'm so jealous of your drum skills ^^. But anyway I'm quit not a drummer but guitar player.

[IMidnightChocolateI]

truly amazing

[jdoghockey19]

Achilles Last Stand and Wont Get Fooled Again

Epic drum performances that will never be forgotten!

[AloneWithMemories]

pure pleasure watching this

[byardo]

love it man quality

[blister7]

Nice!! Dude...

[PLACEBOgarbage]

great cover it´s = as  the original song

[zososierp]

I think that was actually perfect. Great fucking job!

[1511zack]

hey man wat kind of micing technique are u using in this video?

[pissballs]

Thats the groove you nailed it. Very smooth.

[evangelionale]

WOW

[SnippoX360]

7:23 pure skill

[BONZOCAN]

Great Job! Not an easy song at all! One of Zeppelin's great songs! 

[SharedSounds]

Pretty tight cover ! Keep it going buddy...

[moosewing2]

Do you have any idea what kind of drums Beau has? They sound great.

[D1N4MO]

flawless...

[bennymalone]

Awesome.

[SuperRobby92]

your wrist movements are nice and smooth

[classicrock558]

beat that joey jordison

[stormthorgerson]

atta boy

[rossomaguire17]

Fucking Unreal!!!!!!!! perfect job in my eyes!

[thannigan29]

well done sir!

[marii4nA]

JUST AND SIMPLY AMAZING.. I LOVE YOU hahaha xD

[johnnykadkad]

the only fill i can't nail in this song is at 2:29. you nailed it, i'm jealous :P

[TheMickeyHenry]

You play what you feel. Which is what Bohnam did. I thought you nailed the groove, which is what is important. I think JB would agree. Keep playing. You've got "the touch". (So do I-lol_)

[jtabor13]

Like it 9.7 out of 10

[EffectiveButSimple]

@karjunkz

John Bonham plays sixteenth notes on those fills with ghost notes on the and of 3 and on beat 4 (ghost notes, if you don't know what they are, are beats that are barely played. They can still be heard, obviously). In English, that means you would play that fill like so: RL(R)L (R)LRL. The beats in parentheses are the ghost notes. That is then followed by a cymbal crash, and the rest of the song.

This is what you would hear: RL L LRL C<--for whatever hand you use while crashing. =]

[videocircus]

@EffectiveButSimple

Beau Can't read drum music, so all the definations of beats and notes would not mean anything to him anyway LOL. He plays completely by ear without any sheet music.

[EffectiveButSimple]

@videocircus

Oh, I know; I can tell by how that was stated in the description. xP

I was only helping karjunkz by replying on how to play the fills.

Sorry if there was any misunderstanding. =]

[HeadbangingMonster]

@karjunkz I personally find it comfortable to play RL L L RL R with the last R being the crash cymbal. What I gave you is natural sticking, right hands on the downbeats and left on the upbeats, in case you didn't know. If you're somewhat new at drumming, let me tell you that natural sticking makes life so much easier.

[Darkdord]

1:13 AMAZING!

[AlexBarlow666]

@Darkdord listen to bonham do it on the original track if you think thats amazing, that was impressive but bonham does it twice as fast

[urajokeMC]

Let me name that cymbol.Using a 20 inch K Custom Zil? (dark)??????

[Felipe917]

Very well done.

[contagioushotdog]

badass drumming!

[Aldragor101]

very good, bonham would be proud :D

[zCek9]

Amazing, good job dude.

[pirvelispachka]

awesome !

[danyramone]

duuuuuude

[koke666im]

oohh great sound and cover (y)

[buistmatt]

wonderful job!

[yousuck118]

Very nice job... Your high hat got pretty loose at the end lol

[noseha1r]

at 9:15 you were having trouble lol cuz of the smile on your face you were like "god this is hard!" haha but you nailed it well done m8, the very best of bonham and zeppelin rite there. 10/10

[gohostman]

F*ck Yeah Dude! Keep on...

[Larypill]

8:55 Oh hell yes! Spot on dude! :p

[NYver4get]

Sorry 1:13 mark

[NYver4get]

I saw enough at the 1:22 mark . That first roll was perfect. Nice to see it done on a kit that is similar in size. EXCELLENT

[Phobos7575]

Thanks! A good energy boost. Greetings from Madrid! Cañaaa!

[Riyu007]

Yeah i will. I know exactly what your talking about

[rfreedy2008]

Wow.. This is by far the best drum cover of this song that I've seen. Great drumming, keep it up!

[Riyu007]

Wow thanks for posting this vid, it really helped because i couldnt figure some parts in the song when my band was learning it. You're a really great drummer, keep it up

[jakobrobles]

Very nicely done, your a solid drummer... I just recently heard this song in a buddies car and thought it was awesome... but very good

[videocircus]

Yeah Beau Rocks when he is playing Rock And Roll

[Favian117]

I love your snare!

[RuberHammer]

Do you think that song is to much for a 1 year drummer?

[videocircus]

@ RuberHammer: Not neccessarily. It all depends on your skill and how well you can play by ear. If you require drum music to play drums, then NO you will not be able to do it after a year of playing. Achillies is very much an improvised track, as all of John Bonhams drumming was. Beau Ferchaud (Above) is completely self taught and does not read a single note of sheet music. He plays all of his drum beats by ear...Otherwords, he hears it and then replicates it by memory.

[pablobostero1280]

ive been playin drums 4 bout 5 months n i can play dis song by ear. not dat hard

[greatnessismyname]

This has nothing to do with hearing by ear just because he can play by ear dosent mean if you play sheet music you cant. If you need to go buy a book with it, and that will at least give you an idea of the beat you can than improv from their. Good luck. Tough song

[SonOfaBeach1000]

fucking fantastic

[videocircus]

It sure is...........I have been in coversation with Beau over the last couple of weeks and he has verbaly agreed to record a drumming track of "Kashmir". I have been asking him to do it for a couple of years and finally now he has said he is going to do it...I can't wait!

[123enigma456]

great cover dude, u rock!

[purphanz]

was french grip used for the roll at 1:13?

[videocircus]

I don't know, go to Beau Fercahuds youtube page and ask him.

[bjamn123]

just to clear the air, Buae and videocircus are the same person here? right?

[videocircus]

@bjamn123: No, Beau Ferchaud and myself are not the same person.

Please read the information posted to the video...........Make sure to always read the information on any video you watch because it often answers your questions before you ask them LOL.

[TheNatrix78]

Holy Sh*7! That was fantastic

[videocircus]

Yep

[Jay6639]

this is probably the best cover ive seen for this song.

[RuberHammer]

Great work!

[Shervinem]

great job man 5/5 and thx for the response

[Skullertx]

O.O Omg! He is flawless. I didn't see ONE error at all! Bravo and congrats to him! Jesus! XP

[videocircus]

I know.....Best Drum cover of this song I have ever seen anyone do.

He does it with such precision not missing a single beat to the original track.

I suggest you watch some of his other videos no youtube. He does quite a few Led Zeppelin drum covers. There is one where he mounts a camera on his bass pedal.....can't remember which one at the moment, but total genius.

[DrivenBlack]

Beast!

[redwinerock]

muy alpedo

[NicoleTangerine]

My favourite drum cover of Achilles Last Stand. :)

[videocircus]

and interesting to see such a young girl such as yourself into Led Zeppelin

[GEARSOFWAR2LOVER23]

[JNpimpin829]

[TimTehDrummer]

I love how you did the fill at 1:13. Great job over all. :)

[BBD4697]

great cover. what kind of snare is that?

[Felixstryker]

If you want to know the answer to Beau's equipment type his name into the youtube search bar......I just re-posted this video of his because it is my favorite one he has done. He has Several Zeppeling tunes recorded if you go to his youtube Channel..his name is Beau Ferchaud.

[Guevaristas]

well done! a monster of a song!

[videocircus]

Bravo..An Extremely Challenging Song To Learn!

You Nailed It Bang On...99.9%  which is more than I have ever seen any one else every do it.

So you must be happy with it.

[TinnoUnited]

Thats soo much better than all the rest of the shitty covers. Still, there(s/was) only one on Bonno. :(

[TinnoUnited]

Bonzo****

[crimn]

love the sound of your snare drum. good cover as well. some of the snare fills sound a bit off sometimes.

[videocircus]

Boy He Nails The Fill At 5:24 Bang On, And Then Again At 7:22.

[videocircus]

Beau Ferchaud Is Hands Down The Best Led Zeppelin Cover Drummer On Youtube.
