Hey Soma, got any more cigars?   


Ok Drummer fans here's a rare treat -

We now get to compare John Bonham's early solo from 1970 above, with how much it had evolved in 1977, from his final tour! 


I was at this show, (as well as every tour they did I might add ) and I can tell you the reason we even get to see this little gem at all in the first place , is it was played in the Seattle Kingdome, which was this huge gargantuan arena that seated like a zillion people, and in the back and the nosebleed seats the musicians looked like little stick figures and you couldn't see who they were or what was going on.

So for all shows they had rigged up this live camera to display on this huge overhead screen, so those in the cheap seats didn't feel too ripped off.

A copy of that video footage shot that night managed to surface in the public years later. 


He seems to have incorporated some new rhythms and influences -

Enjoy!

Now then, chomp chomp 


Being familiar with Bonzo's chops shown in his above 2 solos, we see in the 1970 version while he is playing the Congas, he holds his hands high for part of it indicating he is also familiar with playing the Tablas.

We are now treading on Santana's percussionists area, but that is for another style and influence.


In John Bonham's case, I contend one of his big influences besides Buddy Rich was East Indian. 


Not surprising when you discover how complex and powerful that style is.

Have a listen to this track starting at 30:00, and you will hear Bonham style Tabla riffs and rhythms all the way through to the end -

But sometimes you just need the groove.

if she can hit it, she uses it for percussion lol tables, vases, cans, boards, bongos, congas, drum sets, etc
