Drum history

One of the drummers you have to know. John Bonham invented the Bonham triplets, first heard in Moby Dick by Lep Zeppelin. You can hear it being used in the video at 4:15

 

 

Here is one video that teaches the Bonham triplet. The concept is a basic pattern of RLfoot(Tri-p-let)  but to get it up to speed it is rather intermediate/advance. 

Have fun throwing one of these in solos.
