Wow.. If anyone has heard John Bonham's drum solo at the end of The Song Remains The Same version of Dazed and Confused... Wow

 

Geez, especially watching it.

seen it... How The West Was Won DVD though

I've got the soundtrack album to the Song Remains the Same, so I've heard it plenty o' times, but I've only ever seen it once and that was several years ago...

 

But anyway, yes, John Bonham was an absolutely phenominal drummer. :cool:

Absolutely. I've never seen anything as crazy as that before.

Yeah, he's one of the few people in the history of rock music that could actually make a drum solo interesting. :cool:

 

Moby Dick still puts me to sleep every time, though. :snore:

To be honest, other than John Bonham, I've never really even heard a drum solo before. :/

 

It's fine on the album, but jesus.. Since it's, like, eight or nine minutes, I think, on The Song Remains The Same, that can tend to get a tad boring.

You should hear one of Carter beauford's (DMB) drum solos. I heard this on recording when he was just messing around at a concert before a song, he can go so fast on the toms that it literally sounds like a motorcycle revving. It was sweet though cuz then he slows it down into an awesome beat and then the song starts. Plus, it was just a jam song so you can't get it on a CD. :angry: Also, if you get a chance (and if you have a file sharing prog.) download one of Carter Beauford's "studio lessons", there are at least four, but my favorite is #41

I've actually seen a couple of his "lessons" from a friend of mine who's a dedicated drummer (I'm a drummer, guitarist, bassist, saxophone player, etc., but a pianist at heart), and he went off a couple times when I saw DMB live, but to be honest, fast playing by itself just doesn't really impress me all that much.

For me, it kinda depends.
