Just showed this to the drummer in my band, i think he shat himself. I'll know more when i pick him up off the floor. Bloody great work my friend.........
MNan that was awesome... Couldnt believe the audience was that small! I'd go see you guys play if I lived over in canada! Keep it up man! What Paiste's are you using?
It annoys me that some members of youtube always come out with the same shit like did you cheat and use a double pedal etc etc etc when it comes to a moby dick cover??
The main thing is that the feel is right and the technique is solid. This solo has both and the kit sounds good also.
Anyone who disses this cover is plain clueless of drumming, jealous of the guys ability compared to their own and most of all an asshole who needs to put up or shut up!
Salut Russel c'est moi Sonia ,, tu va me reconnaitre j'en sui sur hihi c'est méo (sylvain labelle) qui m'a dis qu'en tapant ton nom je tomberais sur toi ,, c'est génial comme d'habitude,,et pour les mauvais commentaireux j'ai juste une chose a leurs dire,, Bonham c'est Bonham et Russel c'est Russel,, deux personnes bien différente et pour avoir son propre style il ne faut jamais imiter un autre sinon po la peine d'essayer yen a deja un ,, moi j'adore c'que tu fais Russel lache po la patate
were did the 29 peice drum set go? lol going back to the simple set ic? amazing job! sounds a bit dry but then agian its not pro sound quality now is it? other then that...amazing job!
To all you people commenting negatively on this, you are aware Bonham will never be equalled or copied. And as for those triplets with his hand and feet, have you ever tried them? I'd sooner try brain surgery, so lay off
Probably the best cover I've heard. Like it better than Portnoy's cover, personally. I'm hoping you single-bassed it the whole way, right? Five stars for sure. Not quite Bonzo, but as close as any human I've seen!
Realize that most things you see a human doing in life..have been done before..often better. Bonham learned from listening to mostly Buddy Rich...which is where he got a lot of his techniques/movements..but he also listened to Jo Jones...Jones used his hands and pressed on the drum heads with his stck while tapping with other hand to change the sounds..that was in the 1930's and 1940's. Look up Jo Jones on YTUBE.
The only criticism i will give to those solo is it sounds like he uses a double kick and I never see any of Bonzo's spectacular crossovers in this, nor do I see the amazing finish where Bonzo essentially becomes the equivalent of a rotor blade on top of a helicoptor. But still...this is a spectacular performance I'm not sure i'll ever play like this.
I think if you put Mr. Labadie behind John Bonham's original Ludwig green sparkle kit he probably would sound much closer to him. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure that nobody will ever get to touch that kit.
On Drummerworld, they have a video on a guy named...umm...Mark Romans??? playing on it. Like, the ACTUAL IT that Bonzo played in the studio. Really good player.
This Russell Labadie guy may not exactly be the next John Bonham, but fuck this guy is no amateur. He is a very talented drummer, so anyone who criticizes him in this should think about whether they could play like him or not because his performance is fucking impressive. You have to give him that.
i feel kind of like a jerk now. i'll admit i thought you were just a hot shot drummer trying to be Bonzo but i'm relieved to see that you're humble and knowledgeable. i watched your tribute and and was impressed. nice choice of kit and performance. it was much more of a Bonham sound and style. Thank you.
this is impressive. you play well with your own style, but as a drummer and a zeppelin fan, you failed to capture the bonham feel even in the least. very impressive otherwise. maybe stick to originals.
o0ne thing i loved is you didn't completely destroy the spirit of the origional. Even though it obviously wasnt the same; it kept the nice seasoned beats etc instead of just hammering it like most crappy drumemrs do.
man! about time i found someone who did justice to moby dick.. so much better than mike portnoy's band trying to play this. fuckin awesome bro, real nice work there
Wow....just ...WOW. This is effin great!

All Paiste's but different models than Bonham's,
18in Dimensions Medium crash,18in Innovation crash,

21in 602 ride and 15in 2002 heavy hi-hats...
I have a hard time cracking those models,
i'm very happy with them,the ultimate would be
all Paiste Signatures which i think Bonham
would've added to his Paiste endorsement order list
if they were around back in the 80s.
