WHOLE LOTTA LOVE *LED ZEPPELIN/JOHN BONHAM DRUM COVER* 50th Anniversary!

Studio version of Whole Lotta Love. Hard to believe this song is 50 years old this month! The isolated drum track has been available for some time now so that was a big help in getting a better idea of what Bonzo actually played. When you hear it, you realize how much more is happening in his beats than at first meets the ear. There is a lot of ghosting on the snare (as usual) , and the beat really swings, with a very bouncy feel to the snare and bass drum interaction. It¬ a stiff 8th not type rock groove. There are also little things that are more clear on the isolated track, like the taps on the gong with his stick during the cymbal bell fills, and the cross sticking on the toms. I used the 602&for this one as well because I suspect he used them for the 2nd album. There is a picture of him putting what looks to be a 602 18 inch crash on a cymbal stand and I think it&from the 2nd album sessions.
