Fool in the Rain - Led Zeppelin (Drum Cover)

The usual homage to John Bonham and one of the band's top ten songs (or maybe top 20?) One take. One camera. Always to a drumless track, so no layering. Also note that JB plays some homemade samba version in the bridge, while I go with an abbreviated partido alto by routine.

Just Passing through and caught this. Dude that was awesome. You brought out hits that I didn't even remember hearing LOL Great Job

[@Greg-bz2bf]

I enjoyed that! Thanks for sharing. I think John would be proud and love to play your kit. 👍👍 p.s. I first heard Led Zep 1 in 1970 at age 10. I began drum lessons at age 6 and was blown away hearing "Good Times" through headphones! Good bye Ringo! LOL. I've been a fan ever since by my drumming is no where your abilities. Again, thanks for sharing.

[@MikeK910LA]

When I first heard this song 40+ years ago I lost my mind. I can't get enough of listening to it. Probably one of Zeps least known, but best songs they made. If you know, you know! Rest in peace John Bonham....

[@jhowell123]

Ive seen tens of fool in the rain covers... You not only nailed the technique, you smashed the feel. Jb would be proud. So good 👍

[@justthedrummer330]

This is great, the Bonham shuffle is amazing! Great drumming! Can't wait to see more!! 👍👍

[@ricklang_drummer]

Thanks:) Just started with these. I might do requests. Probably something with DT or Rush next time.

[@georgesigalas738]

I think you mean the Purdie Shuffle..but who cares..

[@boricua9071]

@@georgesigalas738 if we were being technically this is technically Bonham’s take on the purdie shuffle. So bonham shuffle kinda works either way haha

[@nikkisterling8209]

My favorite led zeppelin song. Great job! Nice drums too!

[@joechapman2981]

This really is one of Led zeppelin best songs!!

[@tommulhall3865]

[@erichubrich5816]

I want that snare !! Awesome sound....and did I mention the ghost notes.....spectacular !!

[@gppedrosa]

Simply..... WOW

[@donfisherjr.2404]

Very nice work! As a beginning drummer, I know this is one of the most challenging songs for experienced drummers to play, and for most of us it's the holy grail if we get even part way there. Again, very nice work. Bonzo would be pleased.

[@boneheded2819]

I know I'm late to this party but this just came up on my feed. If I had ever wondered what Gavin Harrison's take would be on this song this video would be it. Outstanding playing! So tight and musical without clogging it up and over playing , not to mention those toms sound sooooo good.

[@georgesigalas738]

you're a great drummer..not many people can do this..keep it up!!!

[@KikeRocket]

Amazing drumming Rick !! Well done !!

Nailing all the different fills and going to the ride at end of the bridge.… great!!!

[@mpcvore]

Awesome drumming job and sound...!

[@johnkruton9708]

3:46 THIS is what I came here for. So far you are the only YT drummer showing top of set that does this MASSIVE ICONIC FILL that denotes this song. I’ve had it stuck on replay in my garage for 1/2 and hour and get chills every time Bonzo pounds this out. Thanks man! When I get my old ekit setup I’m gonna beat this fill into me.

[@ricklang_drummer]

Glad to hear it:) Although I don't play the fill exactly as JB did it. Just my take on it. Happy 2023!

[@TheBearsjunkie]

Snare sounds great.

[@BeefyTV]

Tasty TASTY fills 👌🏼

[@stevenraparelli3396]

[@stevewarfel5788]

Early on, I sensed a bit of rushing and lagging, but you got control of that as it proceeded. Nice job on the Samba part. Overall, very good.

[@toddbarnett5260]

Nailed it..

[@michaelgeinopolos6911]

Amazing, but I think the greatness of the song is in its simplicity.

[@ascarneyNJ]

Simple, eh? Ever try to play it? What exactly is simple about it?

[@cmr58]

And Imagine John created his magic with half the kit shit this guy has!!!! He was a legend!!

[@ricklang_drummer]

Fortunately I still hit with two arms and two feet. I don't change setup, regardless if I play Max Roach, Garibaldi or Portnoy. Bopkit is in another location. Notice the absence of a gong and getting by with only a 22" kick. Thanks for watching! :)

nice sounding snare. Can you enlighten us about it?

Thanks:) Added some gear info in the description. Snare varies depending on mood. A COB for the Toto one for example. Here a Premier 1036 COS.

[@sourlemonava2003]

That snare is sexual

[@magnusbnordh9624]

Snyggt !

[@drummermike5150]

Where did you get the drumless track? I can't find it anywhere, other than a cover version.

[@ricklang_drummer]

Hi Mike. I "make" them myself with skilled hands, ears, and the use of Izotope RX, removing the drums from the original. Same thing with my other videos. Not always doable, depending on how the recording was made, but for these purposes it works.

[@drummermike5150]

@@ricklang_drummer Thanks Rick, I make my own too using the rock band/guitar hero stems and Audacity but Zep never licensed the stems so I had to rely on a cover version that I could remix. I will check out Izotope RX. Thanks for the idea!

[@MartinEB72]

Seemingly flawless, but the early part of its timing seems odd. I don't have such a great ear to know if Bonham was running fast or slow in those parts, but that seems to be the only thing missing.

[@davidcope2368]

Bonzo always played just behind

[@MarkBanks77]

Great job! A very difficult song to play properly.

[@6870dano]

Awesome, right up till you added your own flavor. This sing needs no flavor. Just my opinion. I CAN’T EVEN COME CLOSE!!! bravo👍🏻

[@dougallard001]

close... till the crescendo

[@jerrenpentance]

Nice pocket!

[@thebostonbrawler1]

Too many different crash cymbals that are not in the original song. KILLER job otherwise

[@einarabelc5]

Do you pay a lot of Rush?

[@MrWigby]

Wish i could do the snare rolls

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

Check out the drum kit ...and Bonzo's..enough said ....less is more ?

[@ricklang_drummer]

I completely agree. JB should have sized down from his ordinary 26, 15, 16, 18 to a more modest 20, 10, 12, 14, which is my normal setup. Unfortunately I can't tell him that to his face.

[@einarabelc5]

You're ahead of the beat on the first 12/8 section with the ride bell .

[@wiwiwum45]

It took me 2 months to learn this grove and I still haven't perfected it.

[@robertkees6048]

Nice, but how are those arms working, there's no body, hell not even a head, you can do magic.

[@ricklang_drummer]

Indeed. Due to the fixed camera height it's a trade-off between seeing more of me or more of the kit. I always choose the kit.

[@christianvernhes7386]

C'est très bien ! Mais ce n'est pas la peine d'en rajouter ! Il y en a suffisamment créé par Bonham !

[@flashy5150]

Well, they’re not Ludwig and Paiste,but the’ll do.

[@craigborak9742]

This is awful. Did you have an ear infection when you listened to the original version? This is Bonham, not some high school jazz band version.

[@adamsmith3996]
