Led Zeppelin's FOOL IN THE RAIN Drum Lesson Tutorial JOHN BONHAM

This is a much more detailed (and slower paced) video demonstration of the shuffle played by John Bonham on Led Zeppelin's FOOL IN THE RAIN from In Through The Out Door.
The groove is essentially the Purdie Shuffle, though played slower and with not quite so many snare beats..

Also, when I play this song, I have a bit of a problem, when he opens the hi hat on the third bass drum beat, for some reason, my right hand automatically stops playing the shuffle on the hi hat until the 2nd ghost note is added... with, "x" being the hi hat beat, "X" being accented hi hat, and "O" being the open hat..this is what I am doing essentially.. x-X-O---x-X-x-X..when it should be like.. x-X-O-X-x-X-x-X, for some reason my hand stops after the open hat..any tips? thanks

@jaqua524 Practice the song without the bass drum. Just do the hands and I think you'll see the hihat problem corrected pretty quickly. Slowly add in the bass drum figure.

I love how you let the drums do the talking. "The thing about this groove is: ta Boom boom, tata PAH! ta boom boom, tata PAH!"
