Rock & Roll - drum fill - how to

How to play John Bonham's big fill at the end of the song Rock & Roll by Led Zeppelin.

For full transcription go to http://www.theboneman.net/zeppelin/rock-n-roll/

There is a slight mistake in this video. The section where I play the entire fill from the beginning SLOWLY (4:56), I played the first two notes as & 3. I should have played it as 2 3.

Nice job, how did you come about learning this? ie; someone else, some sort of recording to slow it down etc?

@spiritfan1969

Used audacity to slow down the recording.

Thank you for your generosity in unlocking one of the most confounding 5 seconds of recorded music. I love you man!

Note to self: STOP putting too much into it and STOP thinking.

Great explanation! Our band has started doing that song & I'm good up to that last part which now I'll be able to do well. Thanks!!!

Could you do the solo from ( Get it on ) from Kingdom Come ?

[TheBudgiedrummer]

Listen carefully. At around 5.35. it sounds like JB actually starts playing doubles on the kick.

I got it down perfectly thanks! but I the whole lesson didn't really help(to complex for me) I just kept watching you playing at 120bpm at the end a few times until I got it :P

[Johnbmd]

Thanks so much. I can play it great now. What kit do you use?

[motodrummer]

so when playing it you actually play it after the single stroke intro like this..Step 3 with the LH added, step 2, then step 1? correct?

[alejandropolara]

Thank you, you are the best!!!
