The song at the beginning is a small cover of "if you are going to San Francisco", in the midle of "dazed and confused"

at 0:29 did he just hit three cymbals at once... how that even possible?

the best drummer who ever lived joey jordison sucks compared to bonzo

@TheMoSJoker Holy shit

[SirGameChanger]

@TheMoSJoker His crash on the far right is placed higher than the one on the left slightly below it. You can hit both cymbals in one motion. If you had four cymbals placed a certain way, you could hit four cymbals at once.

@m1nty99 Why'd you have to pick Joey? You couldn't have picked Travis? Or Gadd? Weckl? Peart? No one compares to Bonham. He's a legend on his own. But a true drummer and a true musician doesn't shit-talk other drummers. They're all good at what they do for THEIR own styles and tastes. Let's leave the shit-talking and childish comparisons out of a Bonham video. For fucking once, let's leave all that bullshit behind.

@TheMoSJoker im still wondering how the hell he did

[vdogmr12]

that cup he drank at the end was probably straight vodka

@TheMoSJoker humm yes It's called stretching the stick...his cymbals were position pretty close despite what people here today that copy him might say was his set up...

His main drum kit in the very early days only used a single floor tom...And as Led Zepplin got wealthy so did his expansion of drums, guitars and brands...

I think most of JHB energy and imagination when he played derived from being on drugs....It was the norm for that time period just about every musician used.

Some will say Neil Pert is the best drummer but to me John Bonham will always be the goat

[ledzeplad]

what is it that bonham and jones disagree with in the first few seconds oft the video??

[axelmct]

@TheMoSJoker he only actually hit one of them, the other just shook in fear

[Hartman442]

@TheMoSJoker The crash is above the ride, so I guess he hit the crash first.
