This is the first of a series of videos devoted to analysing and demonstrating John Bonham's drum solo from the Royal Albert Hall concert video, from Jan 9 1970. In this video, I take a close look at the actual drum part to the melody, and the opening minutes of the solo. It is not meant to be a note for note literal transcription. The purpose here is to examine the ideas that Bonzo was working with, technically and conceptually. By understanding and utilizing some of the vocabulary of John Bonham, you will enrich your own language and concepts, which is really what all drummers should be aiming for when studying their influences.

I'm not sure yet how many videos I will do on this solo, but I assume it will be around 4 to 6 total. My goal is to do one a week, but my skill at editing and producing these videos is fairly remedial.

Hope you all dig it, and find it informative and helpful. Thanks for watching!!
