John Bonham Vs Steve Gadd - 2 Bar Groove

John Bonham Vs Steve Gadd – 2 Bar Groove

By Alex Ribchester Drum Lessons, Level 4 Drum Lessons, Thursday Drum Lessons 32nd notes, double strokes, john bonham, steve gadd

Description

This weeks lesson I have put together a two bar groove... the first measure is a When The Levee Breaks' Bonham style groove, followed by a sweet paradiddle, 32nd note pattern in the style of Steve Gadd. These are two of my favourite drummers and I believe that this could be the sort of drum beat they would have put together if they had to write a 2 bar groove together. Enjoy!
