  • In honor of John Bonham's birthday, here is the next vid in my series of How The West Was Won complete covers. This version of Moby Dick was a BEAST! I wanted to play within the thematic ideas and structure of the solo, but improvising within that framework. I'm not playing it note for note - that would be virtually impossible, without seeing his playing/stickings, etc. That said, I follow the form pretty much as it was played, with some variations here and there, and some bits as close as I could get. Bonzo's playing on this version is absolutely phenomenal.
    I want to also give a shoutout to Drugan's Drums (note the cool t-shirt). Drugan's is one of my favorite drum shops. They always have the best vintage goodies and they are the coolest guys. Here's a link to their YT. Look them up! Drugan's is in Des Plaines , IL.
    Hope you all had a fantastic Memorial Day Weekend!

    Holy F this is simply incredible! That snare sounds just awesome - as does that huge ride when hit as a crash. George once again delivers. I watched the whole thing! To think Bonzo would bring this nightly for two or three months in a row in nothing short of astounding. Had he lived on through his thirties I’m not sure it would’ve been possible to upkeep this type of energy output. Anyway…my ears are ringin’ A great accompaniment to 5am coffee and at full volume. Thank you guys.

    George, always amazing, so cool to listen too. Agree the best way to cover anything Zeppelin is to get the thematic ideas and structure whether it's bass/keys, guitar, drums, or vocals. After all it seems like that's how they did it.

He didn’t have a lot of heavy electronics etc, but could smoke the Les Paul. Thanks for your skill and dedication.
