14 y/o girl Caitlin paying Tribute to John Bonham (solo)

[3434arc1]

Very nice job! I love your style and the fact that your paying tribute to the greatest rock drummer that ever lived. Keep it up.

[simplesecretof]

Really good to hear this...it is what it is-and respect to her.Love your drumming.

[JimiHandtrix]

Awesome. It is still on my favourite videos and probably will be for many years to come. It's not as if John Bonham played everything exactly the same each time. Don't worry about those who don't like freestyle

[eddytheyeti2]

not completely right... its not one of those songs you can just improve to. this is a song that needs to be played like it was recorded. it just doesn't sound right. there was no cowbell, thats disappointing... thats like playing moby dick without a cowbell, it doesn't sound right. and you dont put a drum solo in a zeppelin song that never had one in it. if it was moby dick, thatd be col, but it is good times bad times, idk why you would put a solo in it, but what ever.

[Kaliguitar]

@eddytheyeti2 Hey Eddy...we played the entire song (with cowbell) and then at the end we spontaneously broke into a jam that then resulted in a drum solo. This video is just of the jam.... If I remember correct, this was one of the anniversaries of Bonzo's death and we were talking about him earlier in the night while setting up. He must have been on our minds and solo just happened. Caitlin started to go off so we stopped and let her go. It was a lot of fun.

[cavalierfan1995]

bonham would be proud awsome job caitlin

im a drummer myself and i have played some zep mostly we play rock n roll by zep

great cover and good solo

[Larryk12308]

INCREDIBLE! It's like early RUSH except they're allot younger and they're

girls! OMG OMG OMG! ;-)

[DrummerboySoto]

damn that girl can play nicely done, keeep rockin!!!!!

[yankeeredneck2]

She is actually phenom good.....

[mindprism]

Oh yea? Oh yea? Well let me tell you... when I was 14 I had my head totally up my ass.

[audrey29tg]

holly fucking fuck fuck fuck balls that was awesome . if shes already that good a 14 how much better can she get?

[HippieJimi]

As Mr.Monty Burns,from the Simpsons

would say....EXCELLENT...

[DyerOfTheCentury]

girl killed that shit :D

[yalelax2012]

that was awesome

can you imagine if you went to see some mediocre cover band with a 14 yr old drummer? i would be thinking i was in for a long one haha

and then she started to play like that ? that would be so sick

[Thejbirdy]

Too much cymbal.

But better than some, I still go with Bonham's version tyvm...;DD

[LanceDirk]

I think that's partially the recording, the wash fills up the mic too much.

[Lehmann108]

One more comment: she has an excellent teacher obviously.

[Lehmann108]

This girl is so good. Just plays right in that pocket even in a solo.

[anuebus]

it is time to start ripping up odd time signatures like a motherfucker, young grasshopper.  keep it up, g.

[converter877]

double bass.....

[zachthefoog]

yes!

a fellow girl drummer

[letsdrum98]

veeerrrry nice! Are my ears right in hearing a double bass? if so, good employment of that into a bonham solo

[3jimbo78]

been playing drums for 30 years but this kid is so special she will just get better

[ten8goa]

Regardless of age, she is the best girl drummer i've seen on UTUBE

[athorsonfernsler1128]

play with just your hands on the drumset, that would be a sweet Bonham tribute.  nice and heavy on the solo though, i like that. nice job.

[jazzmonkeycarpet]

nice triplets.

[stieringer76]

Caitlin, You are awesome. For as young as you are, you certainly have an extreme amount of talent. Keep on rocking!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[quikbionik]

wow , greatest teen drummer...

[neilpeartripley]

Amazing, good stuff.. I love the fact that not all teens adore HIP HOP and love classic rock!

[anuebus]

ummmm...if you don't hear the hip hop in bonham's style then you're missing out. genre is irrelevant, and the best musicians always transcend that. most young zeppelin fans i know adore hip hop...but not the corporate uninspired garbage on the radio that masquerades as real hip hop, that you may be referring to. if you don't like hip hop that's alright...but it's not about choosing one over the other.

[kingeddie999]

its not hip hop, its jazz

[feelee15]

i agree. bonham had so many styles in his playing from rock, to mowton, to jazz to r&b. he influenced many

[fleetwoodbrawm]

nice job! wish i was that good when i was 14

[chemicaldrummer]

I like the part at 2:34 to 2:47. That's the best part! yay!

[gstung]

It's so uplifting to think I will never do anything in my entire life as good as this girl drums at age 14. lol! /cry

[TurboNeon185]

if u had a sweet mustache and a bandana i would think i was watching the song remains the same. good work.

[WrathRI]

hahahaa

[guy2run]

Dam, very fast footwork, great

[pierre766]

...nice PHAT pounding à la Bonham... your fan 4ever Caitlin..!

[dannyaudio]

wow

[hagai86]

holy shit

[slick82958]

I agree it isnt like Bonham but it is damn good, i think if anything since its a tribute you shouldve combined his best riffs, like intro for rock and roll into part of the moby dick solo into whole lotta love...etc but still good job.

[slick82958]

hm i agree it isnt like Bohnam, but it is pretty damn good.

[supernovasky]

I have the drum music for this song and she played nothing close to the real song. Kinda disappointing

[Kaliguitar]

It was a jam at the end....the whole song is not there.

[supernovasky]

gotcha well in that case nice job! :) sounds cool

[videocircus]

@supernovasky

Drum Music LOL..... Who plays with drum music?

Bonham didn't

[rockermommie1]

@supernovasky  Are you kidding>>> this chick rips... How bout respect the fact that a younger generation is takin the time to even Listen/admire anything from before 1990... You rock kid...

[venomthrash13]

haha she bounces up and down when shes doing those triplets..

[RaNgErsPlAyA16]

hey cool i live right near milford...in East Haven. i play too i just havent posted videos yet since i have no camera :X

[magicdrummer411]

i don't like bonham...peart is the best...still good though

[doesmykeyboardwork]

"dont like bonham"...fuck you

[Zildjian232]

i 2nd that notion sir!

[ReubenGazer]

[glacierfish]

keep bang'n them skins!!!!!

[MetalPuppetsShow]

Not at all like Bonzo but still good

[Eddini]

Hey girl, fellow friend at myspace you keep on rocking with "Your Badself", Yeaaah!!!

[tarquin11x]

im a monster zep fan and that was great!

[missyitt]

.....KILLER!!!....if you had a full set like Bonham, you could rip it all...you are gifted girl, Keep it up!!!!

[hibernatus]

Hi, Ms Kalafus!

Amazing, like usually...

Could you give us your own playing of the Bonzo's "Moby Dick" drum solo?I saw again recently on a french channel his performance at the London's Royal Albert Hall with Zep' in 1970... He was (and always in our hearts and minds) so incredible!

[marksubtract]

Fantastic!

[BateraRJ]

=)...

[blaster1985]

Very impressive! Gotta love the triplet; I can't believe your skill level at your age; I'm jealous! Keep going!

[guy2run]

really fast footwork, great job.

[caster159]

frickin awesome! 5/5
