Led Zeppelin - Celebration Day Live (cover with music)(by DZ)

[maxybast]

I like your style dude! You rock!

[mixsole]

wt size of drumsticks you use?

[GrooveDrummin]

@mixsole

5B, sometimes 5A

[tonyhenson86]

So jealous that the Bonham style comes so natural to you!

[444Guitarboy]

How do you know the bass drum patterns? I have been listening that song for a long time and I can not hear the bass drum./

[GrooveDrummin]

@444Guitarboy

I've listened to different live versions (bootlegs) and heard the pattern there.

[TheNewChadSmith]

Play you in a Band ?

[GrooveDrummin]

@TheNewChadSmith

no band for now, just sessions

[akatsukiamp]

DAT TALENT

[phmott09]

A fude !

[ocrue]

Great playing !!

[secorta]

what ride do you play here?



[GrooveDrummin]

@secorta

2002 20" power ride

[matttdrum]

Great stuff... but, how come you are NOT using a Speed King Pedal ? Gotsta !

[GrooveDrummin]

@matttdrum

Thanks...I didn't have one then, otherwise I would have :)

[Eyeoftherhino]

Nice job bro Ima add these licks to my ensemble, bonham is great and isn't reconived by today's youth which sucks but I least I like him but nice job

[exodor1]

Three people don't realize talent when they see it...Haters! Great job, love the camera angles!

[luckyluciano36420]

what kind of coating did u get the drums, because it looks like ambassador.

[GrooveDrummin]

@luckyluciano36420

emperor

[GrooveDrummin]

@luckyluciano36420

[MrTobehappy]

wow....nice drumming man

[madbeats101]

were do you get all this led zeppelin withouth the drums??

[GrooveDrummin]

@madbeats101

Still the original recording and the drums are still there, I'm just playing over top.

[stevieguitarify]

best cover by far and always will be

[rene495]

Do you want to be my neighbor? Awsome

[haxxxxxxzzzor]

So glad you are here on youtube showing how to drum with feeling:)

[Pepper2Jason]

This my favorite song to cover. Exact version as well but, I'm a guitar player. I am also a drummer and bassist but I am mostly a Page fanatic!!

[DiobloHunter]

Sweet heavens you are amazing!

[urajokeMC]

What ride are you using? Cymbals? I really love that 2ha4 inch 2002. TOTALY NIT PIKIN!. You got a good tone on the cymbals! I use new beats most of the time playing out. I find 'em a bit more versatile as Pastie are bright and we only do a few Zep tunes. Can you tell me how your tuned, and mic'd? I know Bonzo had his batter heads tight and rs heads looser, is that what your doing? I love the fact your letting the kit "breath" with the way your mic'ed

[GrooveDrummin]

@urajokeMC

See my profile for complete list of equipment I use. Tuning is similar to Bonham but a little lower in pitch. Reso tighter than batter...snare has a very tight reso. 8 mics, 2 on kick, 2 snare, 2 overs, 2 room mics. The room mics give that open sound.

Thank you for watching!

[ludwigtrap]

Hell yeah!

Great playing and camera work. This must consume quite a bit of you're time.

The overhead shot rules. I see you have a closeup of the kick foot in another one of your vids. Have you considered keeping the overhead as the main and then adding a small kick foot and maybe a small closeup angle of the HH/snare area?

Whatever the angle you're doing Bonham serious justice and I thank you for it.

[grajdrums]

Tell me, is it comfortable to play with a tom mounted on a snare stand? If I have played a standard tom holder all my life, would it be very difficult to get used to the snare stand? I want a 14x12 tom, and am not sure if I should buy it. Thanks in advance. Great drumming.

[GrooveDrummin]

@grajdrums

The snare stand to support the tom chokes the sound a bit and I have to say it looks cool but won't help your drum sound it's best. If you really want a 14" tom I don't suggest the 12" depth, go for 10" depth for a better tone. Now that I have mounted a 9"x12" tom in place of my 12x14 I prefer it much more.

Thank you!

[grajdrums]

@GrooveDrummin Yeah, I thought about buying the 14x10, but, unfortunately, I want Sonors or Yamaha, and they don't make such sizes. Ludwig isn't available where I live, neither is Tama. Well, I'll just try out both choices in time. I guess I'll have to start with a tom holder, so thanks for the advice, much appreciated.

[EnragedSlash]

Great drum cover!! How did you manage to delete the drum track on the original song? I'd like to make a guitar cover of this song, but I'd like to have only my guitar in the final recording.. thanks a lot :)

[GrooveDrummin]

@EnragedSlash

I tried to cut back lower frequencies and extreme highs 14kHz+ on the music track and add them back with my drums. In your case, it would be the playing with the mids. Thanks.

[EnragedSlash]

@GrooveDrummin Thanks so much, I'll try that as soon I get some free time! Have a great day :D

[TheDrumChannel]

Way to go Dan - Thunderdrumass gave me this link - You nailed that one and you even have Bonhams setup. Great job! I like the angles too!

[GrooveDrummin]

@TheDrumChannel

Thank you

[MelficeElstang]

This is the best lep zep cover i have watched, that is some out of this world bass pedal control.

[AldridgeHalenFreak]

Nice Job Dude! Dan the man!!!

Oh...Jason could touch him. But I think Dan could also touch Jason as he prooves here in one of his many videos! ;p)

Great Job My Teacher! Thanx

[GrooveDrummin]

@AldridgeHalenFreak

UR WELCOME my main man. Thank you!

[thunderdrumass]

Are you sure that your not John Bonhams son HaHa. Jason Bonham could never touch you !!! Keep rockin Dan!!!!

[GrooveDrummin]

@thunderdrumass

:) Thanks! I met Jason back in '97 when he played my town. I sat beside him after the show and told him how lucky he was to have the "genes" he joked and said yes, Levis. I didn't talk drumming with him, all I wanted to do was "feel" his presence knowing that this is Bonzo's son!!! He played fine that night. He said he misses his family a lot....Thank God he's not drinking the way his dad did, ACTUALLY DIDN'T SEE HIM DRINK AT ALL! Great guy btw!

[mackdaddybeats]

Your drumming has been a massive influence on me man... I have watched this video 20 odd times and have learnt this song beat for beat as a result.

As a drummer with 15 years live and recording experience, I can pay you no bigger compliment!

The guitar on this song is epic too btw.

[GrooveDrummin]

@mackdaddybeats

Thank you so much for your interest in my drumming and I'm glad to be of help. I wish I could post more covers but I have noticed YouTube suspending accounts for copyright infringements.

[thunderdrumass]

Dan I have to say this is my favorite video. You kick ass and show what drummin is about. You don't add beats that aren't there. I like to watch this before I jam because it gets me pumped. Keep on Rockin. Thanks. Thunder

[GrooveDrummin]

I was given sh*t long time ago about overplaying and since then I have learned how to "hold back" and play FOR THE SONG not show off. I'm glad you noticed :)

Thank you so much for your interest in my drumming!

[Trardragon]

awesome skills man. Glad Im back from Iraq to play with the guys agatn. I want you to play Achilles last stand for me.. That and fool in the rain would be cool.

[benyano1]

Dan hi from the UK. Amazing playing...amazing! Thank you.

[scaniapcab]

Awsome stick work Dan, has to be the closest playing to the great man that I have seen, respect to you my friend, respect indeed.

[GrooveDrummin]

20" 2002 Power Ride...see my profile for all the details.

[cnewman99]

Hahah dazed and confused just came on the radio as i was watching this, great video!

[ps454]

Wow

Just a great job! Dan you are a breath of fresh air. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I often wish I could have watched the B man play and see his movements.

Just awsome

[akisspyros]

another great upload Dan!!

[LOUDROWDSTROUD]

Another brilliant preformance. I'm so glad you pick the live versions to play. I love the mutiple camera angles, and agree foot cam a must and it would be nice if you could bounce between camera views just a little,especially if you go with the foot cam.

Thanks Dan for all your effort, can't wait till your next vid.

[njzxjr]

Love your vids Dan!!!

[zoebatera]

se nota q te gusta led zeppelin enorabuena esta muy bien echo el video y muy buen toque rockero un saludo

[1hr4play]

You can't beat that heads down view for educational purposes!

[Davec775]

fantastic drumming as always !!

[ebdrummer07]

Awsome video, the best cover of this song that i have ever seen. I would suggest as well maybe a foot cam or a different side veiw, perhaps looking in from the left.

[lospepes14]

Awesome cover!! Keep em coming.

[eric000B]

Fantastic job! Impressive drumming and great sound. The three angles are great, it looks very pro.

However, I agree with dww0902, the two right camera views don't differ very much. You might want to throw in another angle (like the foot cam) to add even more excitement.

[GrooveDrummin]

Thank you! Yes, next vid I'll do that. This is exactly what I need to know so I can provide everyone with what they want to see for easier learning :)

[Strokyyy1]

the best...

[overdriven56]

Sounds great, looks great!

[PaulWilliamsWorld]

Very sweet! Great sound! *****

[AlainHubert]

Excellent!

[unmasked90]

Nice punch!!

[drumsticks135]

dude i love this song to begin with... you gave it justice

[dww0902]

Great Cover!

May I suggest replacing one of the smaller camera views with a "Foot Cam" to display some of that fancy footwork. :)

[myjizzureye]

Might i suggest you scare me.....no seriously

[GrooveDrummin]

Agreed! Thank you for the input.
