@thatonedrummer226 I had to make the symbol. I got a 10" REMO Muffle Ring and some black shiny poster board, I traced the Muffle Ring on the poster board and cut out each one. I then got some two way tape, and went around the back of the circles with the tape. Then strategically placed them on the drum head. That's it. Thanks for watching. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112
they do sound big, but damn they sound REALLY good. I'd say your tune job is spot on, and i've been listening to zeppelin w/perfect pitch for 30 years or so
Joe, how much does a drum head affect the sound of a drum? I purchased a bottom to mid range Sonor kit a while ago. After watching numerous vids and reading up on how to tune drums, I still can't get a sound I'm happy with. I have played guitar for 30 years and have a good ear. The heads on the kit are probably pretty cheap and nasty - would buying expensive heads make a big difference? What would you recommend? I too am a big fan of John Bonham, his drumming inspired me to buy a kit.
@jadaras Yea heads make all the difference. I would get EVANS heads. You can go with white coated heads or clear. Just get G2's for the tops of the toms, and G1's for the bottoms. The snare head to get is a Power Center Reverse Dot. The bottom of the snare should be the Hazy 300 & The bass needs the EMAD. Check my videos on tuning to help you out. Hope that helps. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112
@JOEDRUMS2112 Remo's, definitely! I recently switched from stock heads to remo coated emperors and they sound GREAT! I still haven't tuned them properly but they still sound great
Man you are a remarkable drummer, loved the Dyer Makr vid, but to that end you talk too much and are boring, 2 minutes plus of Obama type speech and then to some awesome playing, like we told the Dixie Chicks, shut up and play. Think of how much money they lost trying to be politicians.
OMG dude... REALLY? You're THAT big of a racist that you'll evoke the old Dixie Chicks Walmart nonsense? Wow. Get a life. And FYI... they didn't actually LOSE money for expressing their viewpoints, their sales went up. They just stopped selling music to ignorant rednecks. That's an improvement.
@sammykillsdudes15 I got this kit from a buddy of mine. I got it for $1700 with SKB Hard Shell Cases. The Cymbals were extra. If you were to get this kit brand new with cymbals, it would be about $5000. Ludwig stopped making them for awhile. I think they may be making them again. You can call Ludwig from their website. Hope that helps. Any other questions? Let me know. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112

It would be really great if your could give this video a little watch and comment what you think of it? Would really help me, thanks!
@fubi7ch The original kit Bonham owned had the tom and ride mount. When Ludwig made the reissue they opted for the separate ride cymbal stand and the separate snare stand for the tom. It took a lot of the weight off the bass shell when both the cymbal and the tom were not attached. It made a lot more sense and made the kit last longer without cracking going on.

@JOEDRUMS2112 A company that has a website; Precision Drum Company, would install the Ludwig L-1372 Shell Mount Cymbal Holder and the Ludwig LR2980MT tom mount on the bass drum of the reissue, which is what I'm aiming for when I order my own from Sam Ash Music. From what I have been told by Ludwig, Precision Drum Company know their stuff and know what they are doing.
@JOEDRUMS2112 By the way, when I've obtained all the recording equipment I need, I would position two Shure Beta 52As on the bass drum, one for the resonant side and the other for the batter head.
@88drumfan I keep it tighter than a normal bass drum. I should be very ringy, if it doesn't, you need to crank it a little more. I have a video on how high I have it. Check it out. It will give you a better idea. Ok? Thanks for watching. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112

@ALBERTKING901 Yes you may. The kit with cymbals and stands go for $5000. I didn't pay that. I got the kit used from a buddy of mine for $1700. Most of the cymbals I had. They usually go for $1200.

Hey Joe, awesome drum setup...If only had I had the money! Great playing too. One question: what did you use to put the "three rings" John Bonham logo on the front on the bass drum? Or did it come like that?
@SonofBrummieDarkness I did the three rings. I found a 10" REMO DRUM RING used for dampening and bought some shiny black poster board. I then traced three rings on the poster board and cut them out. I then got some two way tape and put the tape on the opposite sides of the rings. Then put the rings on the head. It's a temporary job, but that's the way I wanted it. If I ever want to take them off, I can still do it because the tape is not permanent. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching. JOEDRUMS
i thought you were cool until you said no one will ever be as good as john bonham, i see this as a challenge,so im going to dedicate my life to change that,and it hurts me to say that becase he inspired me the most, but then again not, wouldnt he want people to learn of him because he's such a great accomplishment and use him to be better, if that happened to me i would feel good about myself that people are jealouse enough of my skill
@rockstar59678 You got the wrong message from what I was trying to say, and that is: Bonham is Bonham nobody could have made Zeppelin sound the way they did without Bonham. Even Pro Drummers say Bonham had a certain touch on the kit that nobody else could duplicate. Even Pro's can't play the way he did.That's why he is & still will be one of the best rock drummers of all time. Just like, no one can play the way you or I play, it's the same thing. Hope that helps. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112
@rockstar59678 i got ya, and i got a question, i might have a chance to get a ludwig stainless steal set, didnt john at one time use a stainless steal set
I must tell you, you were pretty hard on yourself during your monologue, because you did a GREAT job of tuning your drums! You should be very proud of getting those drums to sound so close to the way Bonham's drums sounded! The closest I've heard on Youtube! And you're a great drummer too! Good job! Kudos!
@brohoop Thanks Budd, I really appreciate the nice comments. I sometimes get flack for trying to do Bonham, and a few times I get some bad reviews. Oh Well. Thanks for watching. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112
Sure, you may not be Bonham, but you're better than me, and I've been playing 25 years. My first drumset was a blue Vistalite kit. Probably shouldn't have sold it.
@doghostage Wow!!! Thanks, I appreciate that compliment. That must have been a really nice blue visty kit. Thanks for watching. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112
It seemed u were using a double pedal because of the shadow in the bass drum but anyways great video and great sound. That drum is just the most kick-ass drum of ass time. i think u should use coated skins like bonham did and u also putted two stripes of felt the the bass drum. Great playing.
@ZackAfonso Thanks for all the nice comments. Talking about the heads, John Bonham never had coated heads on his Vistalite kit. He only had them on his wood kits. The clear Remo CS Black Dots made the Vistys sound even louder and have more projection in volume than the traditional coated Emperor's. I do have the coated heads on my other Bonham Maple Kit. It's fun owning 9 drum sets. I can choose whatever mood I'm in. : ) Thanks for watching. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112
john bonham never used a doble peddal he used a speed king. you are taking some of the essence john bonham so incredible by putting a doble peddal in a drum like that.
@ZackAfonso Well thanks for that wonderful comment. I'm glad you think I was using double, but in fact I was using only a single pedal, and it is the LUDWIG Speed King Pedal. I would never use a double pedal on a JOHN BONHAM Amber Vistalite Reissue kit. It would just be outright nonsense. I guess my foot is getting faster than I thought. Thanks for watching. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112
@cdamauser1963 Well with the cymbals and stands the whole kit would go for about $5000. However, I got mine used from a friend for $1700 with hard shell cases. I still had to get the cymbals and stands extra. Thanks for watching. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112
@crucialyze Well thanks for the nice comments. I am using 2B's and 5B's. I may be using 5B's in this vid, I'm not sure myself. When I was out in California in 2009, I talked with John Bonham's drum tech, Jeff Ocheltree, & he said they didn't make sizes back then the way they do now, but he said they were between & 5B and a 2B. So I bought both to try. The 2B's are a little thicker stick. The 5B's are about the same maybe just a little bit thinner. Thanks for watching. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112

What a great kit and great drumming skills, buddy! I just think on that part that you're doing the snare "solo" (around 3:10) you should use less the crashes and the ride. Not having cymbals is what builds up the tension of the snare and the hi hat pedal. Other than that, magnificent jog you did, Hat's off to you and Roy Harper hahahaha
YOU ARE A LUCKY GUY owning such a Beutiful kit and in my opinion you certainly have your Bonham licks smoking there.
I am trying to help drummers every where NOT to end up TRAIN WRECKED as IAM pls CHECK OUT & SHARE THE LINKS withALL THE DRUMMERS YOU KNOW BECAUSE i JUST WANT TO HELP MY BROS& SISTERS CHECK OUT
"DRUMBEATSTROKE" 2part video to help ALL . because of STROKE I only play with ONE HAND &FOOT no assists .Stroke is the USA 3rd killer andno.1 cause of incapacity.
I have a few questions about your cowbell. First: is it the cowbell that Bonzo used and if it is did it come with your reissue drums, because I know Paiste/Ludwig doesn't make the Gold Tone cowbells anymore don't make it anymore. And if it isn't the cowbell Bonzo used then what cowbell is it?
@RickyPinocchio The cowbell I am using is a Ludwig, chrome cowbell. I got it awhile ago. To get the Bonham cowbell, you may have to look for one online (ebay, craig's list) They are hard to come by. If you don't want to go that route, then just get a standard chrome cowbell by Ludwig or Paiste. Hope that helps. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112

@happyheadpopper Well I check him out. He's not doing everything note per note like Bonham, but he's still a very well trained drummer. Thanks for the info. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS
@JOEDRUMS2112 I think playing note per note is pretty boring actually. I know it's hard and I'm not taking anything away from anyone (and I think you're an awesome drummer), but in my opinion everyone should have their own personal sound and style and stop copying their idols note per note. I hate it when someone does his own version of a certain song and people come complaining like "you loser didn't play it even close to the original one"..
@kaasupoltin Well I totally agree with you. Everyone should learn to play like his or her self, and in actuality we do whether we copy Bonham or Peart or any pro we love to play like. Nobody will play like them, but here's why we want to play like them. 1 Drummers play like the pros because they like the music and the beats they played,
2 Drummers learn other ways of playing beats and fills like our heros and makes us better drummers, 3 Pros even say they've learn from their heros. To Be Cont.
@JOEDRUMS2112 Part 2. 4 The Pros often say, Great Drummers Steal. I've talked to countless pros (Steve Smith, Steve Gadd, Jason Bonham, and many others) and they've all said that they learned & played like their heros when they were first started. So emulating our heros is really a good thing, it's what makes us improve our skills, we will still play like ourselves no matter what, but we've learned from our heros it doesn't make no brain drummers, it gets us closer to them. Thanks. JOEDRUMS2112
@JOEDRUMS2112 Yep, I know what you mean and of course your heroes affect your playing, no matter what instrument we're talking about. And yeah, no one can play like someone else. But what I meant with my comment was that there are people who think that you play well only if you play exactly note per note.. I for one enjoy much more if someone does a completely different (and a good) version of a song, still keeping the original "spirit" of that song. That's even harder than playing note per note
Joe these drums are the best I really love the kit cant wait to get mine but im gonna get a peace vistilite it wont good as the Ludwig but its there though and I love Ludiwg set though its the best
@Ryanpeacedrums Hey thanks dude. I really want to know when you get it, how you like it. Let me know. I am still waiting for my endorsement deal to go through. I will let you know when it's final and what I will get. Thanks for all the info you sent me. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS
Wow... I've never heard such a low-pitched basedrum like this one! I'm playing drums for round about 10 years now and a few months ago I bought the Sonor Force 3007 Shell Set. I know that it's not a highend drumset but I thought it would be better to buy a medium-class set because if I want to add some pieces I wouldn't have to pay so much.
Now I'm so amazed of your Basedrum that I'll have to buy a 24 inch Sonor-Base to get a similar sound to your 26" base. :D

@giaffir34 Well yea the drums are going to sound way different live than in a studio. They have thousands and thousands of dollars of equipment that squash the sound and tighten everything up, then they eq the drums and put effects on them sometimes. It really is like two different worlds. Mic's also play a really big roll in getting the awesome Bonham sound, but it was also the way he played to get that certain sound that only Bonham can give.

@chazratm Everyone has an opinion, and I guess you are entitled to yours.

i thought you were cool until you said no one will ever be as good as john bonham, i see this as a challenge,so im going to dedicate my life to change that,and it hurts me to say that becase he inspired me the most, but then again not, wouldnt he want people to learn of him because he's such a great accomplishment and use him to be better, if that happened to me i would feel good about myself that people are jealouse enough of my skill
rockstar59678 8 months ago
@rockstar59678 You got the wrong message from what I was trying to say, and that is: Bonham is Bonham nobody could have made Zeppelin sound the way they did without Bonham. Even Pro Drummers say Bonham had a certain touch on the kit that nobody else could duplicate. Even Pro's can't play the way he did.That's why he is & still will be one of the best rock drummers of all time. Just like, no one can play the way you or I play, it's the same thing. Hope that helps. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112

I must tell you, you were pretty hard on yourself during your monologue, because you did a GREAT job of tuning your drums! You should be very proud of getting those drums to sound so close to the way Bonham's drums sounded! The closest I've heard on Youtube! And you're a great drummer too! Good job! Kudos!

It seemed u were using a double pedal because of the shadow in the bass drum but anyways great video and great sound. That drum is just the most kick-ass drum of ass time. i think u should use coated skins like bonham did and u also putted two stripes of felt the the bass drum. Great playing.
ZackAfonso 8 months ago
@ZackAfonso Thanks for all the nice comments. Talking about the heads, John Bonham never had coated heads on his Vistalite kit. He only had them on his wood kits. The clear Remo CS Black Dots made the Vistys sound even louder and have more projection in volume than the traditional coated Emperor's. I do have the coated heads on my other Bonham Maple Kit. It's fun owning 9 drum sets. I can choose whatever mood I'm in. : ) Thanks for watching. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112

john bonham never used a doble peddal he used a speed king. you are taking some of the essence john bonham so incredible by putting a doble peddal in a drum like that.
ZackAfonso 8 months ago
@ZackAfonso Well thanks for that wonderful comment. I'm glad you think I was using double, but in fact I was using only a single pedal, and it is the LUDWIG Speed King Pedal. I would never use a double pedal on a JOHN BONHAM Amber Vistalite Reissue kit. It would just be outright nonsense. I guess my foot is getting faster than I thought. Thanks for watching.

So I bought both to try. The 2B's are a little thicker stick. The 5B's are about the same maybe just a little bit thinner. Thanks for watching. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112

What a great kit and great drumming skills, buddy! I just think on that part that you're doing the snare "solo" (around 3:10) you should use less the crashes and the ride. Not having cymbals is what builds up the tension of the snare and the hi hat pedal. Other than that, magnificent jog you did, Hat's off to you and Roy Harper hahahaha

I have a few questions about your cowbell. First: is it the cowbell that Bonzo used and if it is did it come with your reissue drums, because I know Paiste/Ludwig doesn't make the Gold Tone cowbells anymore don't make it anymore. And if it isn't the cowbell Bonzo used then what cowbell is it?
RickyPinocchio 9 months ago
@RickyPinocchio The cowbell I am using is a Ludwig, chrome cowbell. I got it awhile ago. To get the Bonham cowbell, you may have to look for one online (ebay, craig's list) They are hard to come by. If you don't want to go that route, then just get a standard chrome cowbell by Ludwig or Paiste. Hope that helps. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112

JOEDRUMS2112 10 months ago
@JOEDRUMS2112 I think playing note per note is pretty boring actually. I know it's hard and I'm not taking anything away from anyone (and I think you're an awesome drummer), but in my opinion everyone should have their own personal sound and style and stop copying their idols note per note. I hate it when someone does his own version of a certain song and people come complaining like "you loser didn't play it even close to the original one"..
kaasupoltin 10 months ago
@kaasupoltin Well I totally agree with you. Everyone should learn to play like his or her self, and in actuality we do whether we copy Bonham or Peart or any pro we love to play like. Nobody will play like them, but here's why we want to play like them. 1 Drummers play like the pros because they like the music and the beats they played,
2 Drummers learn other ways of playing beats and fills like our heros and makes us better drummers, 3 Pros even say they've learn from their heros. To Be Cont.
JOEDRUMS2112 10 months ago
@JOEDRUMS2112 Part 2. 4 The Pros often say, Great Drummers Steal. I've talked to countless pros (Steve Smith, Steve Gadd, Jason Bonham, and many others) and they've all said that they learned & played like their heros when they were first started. So emulating our heros is really a good thing, it's what makes us improve our skills, we will still play like ourselves no matter what, but we've learned from our heros it doesn't make no brain drummers, it gets us closer to them. Thanks. JOEDRUMS2112
JOEDRUMS2112 10 months ago
@JOEDRUMS2112 Yep, I know what you mean and of course your heroes affect your playing, no matter what instrument we're talking about. And yeah, no one can play like someone else. But what I meant with my comment was that there are people who think that you play well only if you play exactly note per note.. I for one enjoy much more if someone does a completely different (and a good) version of a song, still keeping the original "spirit" of that song. That's even harder than playing note per note

Wow... I've never heard such a low-pitched basedrum like this one! I'm playing drums for round about 10 years now and a few months ago I bought the Sonor Force 3007 Shell Set. I know that it's not a highend drumset but I thought it would be better to buy a medium-class set because if I want to add some pieces I wouldn't have to pay so much.
Now I'm so amazed of your Basedrum that I'll have to buy a 24 inch Sonor-Base to get a similar sound to your 26" base. :D

@giaffir34 Well yea the drums are going to sound way different live than in a studio. They have thousands and thousands of dollars of equipment that squash the sound and tighten everything up, then they eq the drums and put effects on them sometimes. It really is like two different worlds. Mic's also play a really big roll in getting the awesome Bonham sound, but it was also the way he played to get that certain sound that only Bonham can give.
