Complete "How To Play Drums Like John Bonham" Library

No more endless searches on YouTube for tips on "How To Play Like John Bonham"!! Now the best Bonham tutorial videos are all right here at Bonzo Bros. Drums.com where you can find them quickly and easily.  Located on the "Lessons" page or accessable from the drop down menu at the top of the page, they're all organized by the album they were originally recorded on and in the order they were placed on each album respectively.

So far there are 41 songs covered out of the 71 on the 8 albums from "Led Zeppelin" through "In Through The Out Door" and I'm adding new ones almost daily as I find them... Any help with locating and adding new videos would be greatly appreciated - even if there's already a video or two for that song - if it's a good quality video that someone can get some good from I'm happy to post it!! On each page there's a form where you can drop me a note with a link to a new video, send me a request for one not posted yet or just to tell me your thoughts on this or anything else for that matter! I'm always happy to hear from a fellow Bonham fan... Anyway - I hope this helps a few people at least... Rock and roll.


     


This website is a tribute to the most influential rock and roll drummer of all times:


 

It was created for Bonzo's fans and you are always welcome to come and watch videos of John and Jason Bonham, download MP3s or Video Clips, read about his entire life, career and the equipment that he used in his Biography or view Photos of John at home or on stage! He has been an inspiration to drummers because of the way he brought the music to life for over forty years now and will still continue to do so for many generations yet to come!! His unique style and approach to drumming caught the world by surprise and changed the sound of hard rock like no other drummer has ever done in the history of rock and roll! If you were to ask any rock drummer in any band who some of their biggest influences were, I doubt that you would meet anyone who did not include John Henry Bonham in their list!

Thanks for stopping by and I would like to ask you to take just a few minutes to sign the GUESTBOOK and say hello. You are welcome to leave any comments, suggestions or requests that you might have there or there is also an email form that you can use to send me a message directly. Keep rockin'...


For those of you who are mentally retarded or have been living in a coma on the surface of the sun for the last forty years, Led Zeppelin is an utterly kick ass rock band that dominated the 1970’s, and rocked so fucking hard that groupies are still walking funny to this very day. Seriously, rock and roll scientists at the Institute For Killer Riffs And Blown Minds estimate that if every Zeppelin fan on Earth were to play Communication Breakdown at top volume simultaneously, the resulting blast would tear a hole in the fabric of spacetime, ending the universe as we know it. And that would still be less intense than seeing them play live. read more

Is not affiliated with or a representative of John H. Bonham, the Bonham Family or Led Zeppelin. This is simply a gathering place for John Henry Bonham fans with the utmost respect for the Bonham Family and their friends. I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has shared with the world any knowledge of the late, great John Henry Bonham... But more importantly, I would like to say "Thank You" to the man himself for inspiring so many of us for all of these years!


"I've always liked drums to be bright and powerful. I've never used cymbals much. I use them to crash into a solo and out of it, but basically I prefer the actual drum sound."

"I've always been obsessed with drums. They fascinate me. Any other instrument - nothing. I play acoustic guitar a bit. But it's always been drums first and foremost. I don't reckon on this Jack-of-all-trades thing. I thing that felling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts."

"Brushes...?? Nah... Hit 'em as hard as you can!!"

~ John Henry Bonham ~






"My ambition is to record the 1812 Overture. I would over-dub all the rhythm sections - the bells, cannons and timps. I'll do it one day."

What a shame it is that we never got to hear that since I'm sure that it would have been epic to say the least...
But in honor of John and his ambition, please enjoy these classical numbers by a truly unique drummer named Mike Terrana. He's phenomenal and I'm sure that you will enjoy his drumming!!
