Learn a fun solo idea inspired by Led Zeppelin's ferocious drummer, John Bonham.

For this week's lesson we are playing around with a classic John Bonham herta style drum fill. We will use this as an opener for a variety of other licks that vary in speed and complexity.

In this weeks lesson we have got a two bar drum fill that combines 8th notes with 16th note triplets. This lick was often used by such drummers as Led Zeppelin's John Bonham. This fill works great with 4/4 grooves with a half time feel and can be broken down into two individual, single measure drum fills.

Alex continues his streak of great drum fills with this rocking Bonham style fill. This sheet music accompanies Alex's video drum lesson.

In this weeks lesson we have a go at one of the funkiest drum beats of all time, 'Fool In The Rain' By Led Zeppelin's drummer John Bonham. This is a half time shuffle groove and is therefore quite a tricky beat to get down, but we shall give it a bloody good go!

In this weeks lesson we have a look at an epic sounding and cool looking drum fill that was often used by Led Zeppelin stickman - John Bonham. It is a L-R-Kick 16th note triplet pattern with a sweet voicing and some crossover work in there too. Enjoy!

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!

It's a technique used by numerous rock, funk and R&B drummers, but made famous by John Bonham in 1968 when he played, what's now referred to as, "Bonham Triplets", on the Led Zeppelin songs, "Good Times Bad Times" and "I can't quit you baby".

In this weeks lesson we have a go at a 2 measure drum groove in the style of Led Zeppelin drummer - John Bonham. It is a sweet sounding beat in which we look a 2 beat pattern that ignores a traditional down beat on the kick drum every other bar...
