Bonham 5 Quintuplet Take2

I had to redo this video because of technical problems. I originally heard this pattern/lick played by John Bonham live in 1970. I also heard rcordings of Ginger Baker performing it as well and decided to use it in my playing.

The drums are PDP CX Fusion in Arctic Blue. They discontinued this color I'm sad to say...

Thank you very much. It's been so busy that I haven't recorded much at all, but I will get back to it soon...

Hey man, you're doing a great job with your video lessons. You've provide high quality instruction and demonstration on using rudiments creatively on the drumset. It's great that you cite the old masters for examples!

For those who don't know, you can hear Ginger Baker execute this quintuplet lick (toms and double kick drums) during his live solo piece, "Toad," released on the live disc of Cream's "Wheels of Fire" double album (1968). What a visionary Baker was!

Thanks man!

Nice pattern. Just a note--this is not a quintuplet pattern. Quintuplets are five equally spaced notes per beat. This is an 8th note triplet followed by two sixteenths. Five notes but not equally spaced, so not a quint. =)
