RIP John Bonham


Remembering John Bonham today on the 37th anniversary of his passing. I'm posting this since there is a current discussion about him in the Forum.

He and Buddy Rich were my main influences as a drummer.

Bonham heard Carmen Appice Vanilla Fudge (radio and records) and copied his rock style using the kick.

Bonham did not know that Carmen played double kick.

Amazing.

Carmen published a book called Realistic Rock for drummers which is extremely good. Lots of tasty licks and fills. It is used to this day and I have studied it. It is one of the best books as a gentle introduction to learning Bonham style.
