I think it was friggen funny! Took me this long to realize it.
woof
Has anyone noticed the spelling yet? 'Zed Leppelin'?
Even after to said it, I looked up the spelling, checked it out, looked again, I bet it took me two-three minutes to even see it.
Now it is even funnier.
John Bonham's sound starts with him. Since you ain't him (nor is anyone else) you're already at a disadvantage Follow that with drum gear selection and tuning. Bonham tuned his drums remarkably high. Here,s a video that describes the drums (this case his green sparkle Ludwig kit), cymbals, head selections, and how they were tuned. Check it out:Drum Tech Jeff Ocheltree (John Bonham's kit) - YouTube Start there.
Yup, that's it in a nutshell. Even if you got all of his exact gear and tuned it exactly the way he did, you still won't sound like him because you aren't him in that time and place. He was something special, that's why we know his name. None of us are that special. Most people can't play, tune, or record their own basic kit successfully, so it's extra stupid to try to copy one of the greatest rock drummers of all time forever and ever..

Yeah, all may be true but a guy can dream can't he. Don't want to completely crush the buzz. I don't think there's anything wrong with aspiring to sound/play like one of the best and Bonham is not a bad choice to try to emulate (just not easy). Every time I sit behind my kit, Bonham is the first thing I hear right up until I actually start to play, then it's back to reality, a mere mortal I am but 35yrs later I'm still chasing the dream..
