My Names John Bonham, I'm A Drummer

Nowadays You Can't Be Loud Enough!

I Remember In The Early Days When We Played Six Nights A Week For A Month And I Was Doing My Long Drum Solo Every Night. My Hands Were Covered In Blisters.

Not Everybody Likes Or Understands A Drum Solo, So I Like To Bring In Effects And Sounds To Keep Their Interest.

I Don't Consider That I'm Particularly Influenced By Anyone Or Anything. But When I Started Playing, I Was Influenced By Early Soul. It Was Just That Feel, That Sound.

Brushes..? Nah. Hit 'em As Hard As You Can.
