First Solo on Vintage Ludwig 1970 Green Sparkle Kit

[@EricHubley]

Thank you to everyone for all the support, this video has been getting a ton of views and I'm greatly appreciative. If you enjoyed it I'd like to encourage you to check out the other videos on the channel. This video is a funny one to have most viewed on my channel since this recording was literally my first few minutes on the new kit and I was still getting use to how much larger the drums were. Thanks again for everyone's likes, views and comments!

[@bonzoleum]

Eric-it's absolutely perfect! You gotta make a tutorial lessons for these licks in this solo!!!! It's a Holy Grail to we Bonhamites!!

[@EricHubley]

Thanks Terry! maybe I'll have to make some video soon. I also love your videos and your lessons/lectures about drums and all things Bonham, keep up the videos. PS: Do more live chats, I seem to unfortunately miss most of them while at school.

[@EricHubley]

@@rainsong7327 The new drumset actually has a 26" bassdrum. I went from a 22" to the 26" and I didn't really find too much difference, only thing to watch out for is if you bury the beater you might have to fight the pedal wanting to come back just a bit more because of the larger drum. As far as the height, I'm 6'3" and find that I look proportional better behind the bigger drums. The 26" is just around the height where the top of my floor toms come up to, so It looks fine. I'm sure if your 6' a 24" bassdrum would look normal.

Slayed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheIridium6]

Funny sounded like The Drums Also Waltz by Max Poach and he would be a bit upset wit the 3/4 tempo not being consistent .Listen to Max and learn a lot

[@TheIridium6]

Max Roach,sorry for the misspell of Mr. Roach's name

[@argentsilver928]

Bro wtf. I wasn’t expecting that at all. You killed it. I’ve watched that solo a million times and it sounded exactly like bonham

[@josephmonaco4503]

Eric, I already complimented you about 1 or 2 years ago when I first watched and heard you play Moby Dick outside on a back porch with this same set of Ludwig's and like then, You are excellent. I've listened to Zeppelin since 1967 when I was 13 yrs old and I haven't heard anyone play drums like Bonham since then except for you. You either have a memory like an elephant or you read drum music perfectly. I believe that that you have and do both perfectly. You also know your rudiments and have tremendous speed and dexterity evenly with both hands and your feet. I'm very proud of you because of your age and your taste in music from my time. But, Then again, There is only one Led Zeppelin and only One John Bonham. Buddy Rich is and will always be my favorite drummer forever because nobody can play like he did. Greg Potter, his son-in-law that he never met can play with his band " And Does" and Greg also has the ability to play all of Buddy's drumming but, You can still tell that it's not Buddy playing when you close your eyes because Buddy had like the rest of us, A unique Swing about his playing , that you can feel when he played. You know exactly what I'm talking about. Anyway. Great job as usual and I hope you live a long, fruitful life and make Millions of dollars doing what you are best at. Your brother in Music and Drumming Joseph

[@Goodies70]

Dude awesome video man, the camera work is insane! Drums are alright too.

[@gpouliasis]

What theeeeee... This caught me completely off guard. I mean, I just came here to check out the green sparkle finish and ended up searching for my jaw on the floor. Congrats dude, wow.

[@EricHubley]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed my playing.

[@argentsilver928]

Same lol

[@KickItLikeBonham]

Freaking amazing, dude! I just loved every single second of that! Legend!

[@KickItLikeBonham]

Also, I just had a chance to watch through some of your video playing with...Hub Zeppelin, I believe it was. Man, if ever there was anyone deserving of a kit upgrade to this beautiful green sparkle, it was you! I'm a huge fan of yours from this day forward!

[@EricHubley]

@@KickItLikeBonham Thanks so much it means a lot coming from you. I'm the fan here, I love your videos and have been watching you for a long time. You are by far the best when it comes to Bonham and I get much of my inspiration from you. I saw you and your Green Sparkle Kit and knew that second I wanted one, now I'm just trying my best to deserve owning one of these beautiful kits. Thanks for the support, keep up the good videos man.

[@kommi1974]

Jesus mother of Joseph. That was unFUCKING believable. That's it, nothing more to say and I can give no compliment higher. You NAILED the Bonzo feel, sound and dynamics. Once I can afford to, I'm getting that kit within the next few years. WOW!

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Really excellent, especially your command of the paradiddles across the drums , the RAH stuff. Good hands. You have a lot of talent! Very impressive, and the spirit is there too.

[@EricHubley]

Thanks a lot, I appreciate the support.

[@paulmavrakis8683]

As GOOD as i have EVER heard!!!!! BRAVO, cheers, Paul Bonham Mavrakis.

[@lorenzoferrari2887]

you nailed the RAH solo part, man that was fantastic, my jaw was dropped for the entire video. keep it up

[@georgianalabella7852]

Great Job Enjoyed The Solo. Nice Set. Pete sr

[@davidcooper8480]

Bonzoleum, Bonamology, and Kick it Like Bonham, you are in great company. I just subscribed. Excellent!!

[@jameseconleyjr7868]

Blown away. Fantastic.

[@timothycroke5307]

You earned the ‘70’s “Bonham” kit. Played with passion.

[@misfit2022]

Very John Bonham though you have to go right back for this kit. Lovely use of the left foot and nice grasp of rudiments.

[@jairofuertes1098]

most excellent bonham chops brother!

[@redplanetdrifter3352]

Holy crap! that was fantastic!

[@stevegosciniak631]

Loving the “Bonham Swing” with the hat and kick!

[@beatlelennon9168]

Can't stop watching it again and again, you're so amazing.

[@dmitrybogatsky1734]

GREAT DRUMMING!!! LONG LIVE JOHN BONHAM

[@JoshuaWShanks]

We're not worthy! We're not worthy! Incredible chops, man! You made the man upstairs proud! Can't wait to see more of your vids!

[@EricHubley]

Thanks so much, I'll hopefully be getting some new videos out soon.

[@MrRLRRLL]

[@beatlelennon9168]

Amazing , so accurate , I salute you , well done. 🙌🙌🙌

[@stevek758]

That was so good, Bravo

[@MM-lp5pp]

Dude, this is unbelievable, being a huge fan of Bonham and drummer myself all I can say hands down !!! Few guys can get close to Bonzo and you are one of them. They should invite you to Bonzo Bash anniversary!

[@EricHubley]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@tahoe829]

Excellent control and attention to dynamics. Well played!

[@just82much51]

[@Jefferson1969-u4s]

You are a monster Bonham player! A joy to watch! I hope you can show us how these licks are played in a tutorial. Amazing job!

[@jimbrey1138]

Phenomenal! Absolutely loved it! Loved the right hand rolls early on too - great job!

[@unspecified2472]

Fantastic cover man. I'm in awe of your skill.

[@EricHubley]

Thanks.

[@johnbedell2376]

Holy shite that was so WICKED!!!!!! Fantastic job and thank you for sharing.

[@polara01]

Eric, just caught this...fantastic! The energy you bring to this vintage kit is inspiring! I like the way you work the cymbals into the mix very Bonhammy which is lost on a lot of drummers. You have great taste in gear, monster chops and a good ear! Bravo, Paiste Bob

[@EricHubley]

Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@LyndaWhite-ju1gj]

I’m back on day two watching this video again because I wanted to impress upon every one just how good this young man really is and how close he’s gotten to the Bonham style but in order to grasp that for those of you who don’t know I urge you to watch the video of Bonham doing this solo back in 1970 or 1971 and then you will have a much better idea how good this young man really is.

[@mcTOOSH1]

That’s bloody brilliant

[@bcancun123]

My new fav vid on youtube ! amazin

[@justdoit8014]

Eric, you are the beast!

[@Ds_Drums]

THAT WAS AMAZING!!! You have the Bonham thing down.

[@ryanoneill772]

Dude! You killed it here!

[@bonzorip6162]

OMG! That was awesome dude! Nice work on the cross overs

[@dirtydave2691]

Amazing. You have some killer flam licks that are so fast. Kit sounds fantastic too.

[@markromans1814]

Wow, Eric. That looks, feels, and sounds great! I thoroughly enjoyed your solo and it looks like you did too, which is KEY. Well done, man.

[@EricHubley]

Thanks, I'm definitely having fun whenever I'm on the drums and try to portray that energy.

[@LyndaWhite-ju1gj]

Oh man sounding a lot like you know who iv been a Bonham fan fifty years now and had the wounded opportunity to see him play four times in the 70’s 1971 LA Forum,1972 Tucson community center. 1973 University of NM Albuquerque and forth and final time 3/5/1975/Dallas Memorial Colosseum I’m telling you stay with it.

[@EricHubley]

Thanks. That's awesome, not to many people had the privilege of ever seeing Zep live, Bonham definitely died too young. Listening to old bootlegs is my only way of experiencing a zeppelin concert.

[@LyndaWhite-ju1gj]

Eric Hubley yes Im thrilled so many LZ concerts are on KZbin now not a lot of video but enough audio to keep you in study material for years. Also check out the YT Chanel Bonzolleum with George Flutas he’s knows Zeppelin In and out also Peoples Front of Zeppelin PFOZ. On KZbin you will like it.

[@GetUpTheMountains]

Great feel, nice kit!

[@mikew8622]

Excellent!!!

[@keithmounts1305]

U got Terry Keating’s attention, if that doesn’t put a smile on your face, idk what could? Great job, man! -from a fellow bonhamite.

[@EricHubley]

I am happy to be acknowledged by terry and anyone else from the Bonhamite community, thanks for the support.

[@portercarpenter8315]

Dang I thought he was going to be alright but he was really good congrats hope you get more subscriber's 👏

[@ДмитрийСавельев-ъ1ю]

Красавчик, нет слов!!! 👍👍👍

[@davormaplenik2776]

Before I wished I could play like Bonzo, now I wish I could play like you

[@EricHubley]

Thank you, that really means a lot. You made my day.

[@Thorodoy]

In the minute 1:13 Up to the minute 2:00 your technique sounds like a "turbo fan with the engine loose" to me. It may be because of the quality of the recording or your technique or my stupid imagination... A UNIQUE SOUND. But that drum solo... It OPENED my eyes.

[@berjfazlian]

u are unbelievable. from 0:52 till 0-58 are paradiddles? can you please do a mini tutorial

[@EricHubley]

It's a paradiddle, but between your hands and feet. You substitute a double on the bass drum. I've been wanting to make a tutorial video on this but it is still in the works. Thanks for watching.

[@berjfazlian]

Eric Hubley we’re all here waiting impatiently hhahhahaha

[@dads357]

Incredible !

[@EricHubley]

Thanks man.
