Your bass drum and snare are spot on exactly like Bonham's both in terms of tuning and the power and feel you have. Amazing. You should definitely cover good times bad times.

[GediSpock]

I'm glad you started there.

I watched bonzoleum do it.
He started from the start of the song.
I was crying laughing.



Good job mate.
Got to be happy with that. 👊🏻😎

[RocksYou]

Your cover honestly touched me deeply in my heart, this is played with so much emotion, it is great man, keep it on.

[HPHSGermany]

Nice! I appreciate how you've kept your movements simple and graceful. Love the sound of your bass drum.

[BrandonMobley]

That’s one of the best sound kits I have ever heard. Your playing is incredible. I’m new in my drumming journey. When I put my headphones on and try to play along to music, this is the Stairway I put on.

feel = 100%.sound (bass drum etc etc )=100%.licks = 100% Inspiring!!! Thanks very much

[kaydenbush]

You nailed that huge bass sound Bonham had and just the general massive sound his kit had. Outstanding cover!

[andregb]

The best! Thanks! I almost cry every time I see... From Brazil

[Bigsbeee]

Man that was wonderful to watch / listen to— The expression and the cheer feel - well I was with you bro.

[danny]

That was some awesome, heartfelt playing! It's great to finally see a drummer play Bonzo's  parts as he played them, without embellishing everything. Most drummers on YouTube add all sorts of stuff, in an effort to be ''original'', and in doing so they ruin the song entirely, and look amateurish in the process.   But watching you play brought a smile to my face!  Fantastic sounding set too, especially the snare and bass drum. I'm sure Bonzo is smiling in Heaven.  Cheers! :)

[PauloRoberto-kfux]

Very good druming and drums! Your drumset delivers the most accurate John Bonham's drums sound I've ever heard on the Web. Congratulations!

[bellycuda]

Amazing work, so nice to see you so connected to the music with your faultless rendition. I've seen drummers make a real meal out of this cover, for you it was almost effortless.
