Just had a Bonham moment Last viewed: 10 hours ago

I played in a Zep tribute band for 20 years, but there are still songs that I can't get enough of. My favorite Bonham moment is probably some of the insane fills on Achille's Last Stand! What are some of your favorite Bonham moments???

Achille`s is a great tune, Lingontega...I would have to say that In my Time of Dying and Sick Again are a couple of my favourite Bonham moments...Great grooves in them!!

I'm more of a knucklehead where this guy is concerned.

Believe it or not, I totally dig Fool In The Rain. There's something so pedestrian about it. I also love that Tears For Fears groove on Everybody Wants To Rule The World ... so I guess I don't have much credibility within this thread. Can't help it. Those two are so slick to my ears.

I think I read somewhere that Porcaro nabbed the groove from "Fool" and used it for Rosanna! I agree with Tears for Fears...that tune is a master piece, also the guitar solo..beautiful!

You are not a Knucklehead. The drums on "Fool in the Rain" are iconic, bad a**.

Somewhat groundbreaking at the time.

I love that groove. I think we all do.

Porcaro was inspired by Fool and Home at Last (steely dan) for the Rosanna groove.

I,......... on the other hand, "am" a Knucklehead..............

+1 on Fool in the Rain. I love a behind the beat shuffle. That often shows up when I am sound checking drum kits.

Everybody Wants to Rule the World is a monster as well. I love the guitar solo and the guitar licks on the pre-chorus.

I Love all the tunes mentioned plus would like to add the first tune on the first Led Zeppelin album...Good Times Bad Times. I think that's a rough one for anybody and Bonham showed off his talent right then and there.

Yes, there is a vid on YouTube, "Rosanna shuffle", where Jeff Porcaro explains that he had combined Bonhams Fool In The Rain and The Bernard Purdie (1/2 time shuffle, Jeff calls it, from "Home At Last", (Steely Dan) as mentioned above) shuffle with a Bo-Diddley bass drum to create that beat.

Try playing "Poor Tom" note for note......and I mean keeping the quarter note pulse on the hats while doing the 16th note pattern on the snare and the bass drum all while having that feel.....

Its better to have people think you're an idiot, than to open your mouth and prove them wrong, unless you doubt yourself then speak away....

+1! It's pretty easy to do any 2 part combination of that beat but to combine all 3 is a challenge. Genius.
