Bohnam was SO unique , it amazes me that he was so young and developed such an ability and sound.

[@SONORSQ2guy]

Thanks for showing us the tune bot settings for the Bonham tuning. I think you're the first person in the world to do this thank you.

[@scottlowell493]

Jeff Ocheltree did 10 years before this. (Bonhams drum tech) Video is here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ67qmChqNafp5o

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see any tunebot settings on this or the Jeff Ocheltree video.

@@stephenplotnick5133 The TuneBot settings are in the Video description of this video when you click Show More. Example: "14x26 Bass Drum: @ - Resonant: 130-135 / Batter: 84-87" I used my TuneBot to tune my Silver Sparkle kit (same exact sizes) and they sound amazing now!

[@jyanks1018]

You guys should team up to produce some instruction videos. Not joking.

[@bonzoligist6330]

@@jyanks1018 i think if you watch terrys online demos,breakdowns etc you will be surprised what you can learn,,,also looks at Derricks playing,timing,even spaces between notes etc and placement of the notes is key,,bonham was a master at doing this along with all the little things he did that made a big difference to his sound and approach to his playing,,,if you watch George fludas drumming and his breakdown of bonhams fills etc etc its exactly how bonham played i dont think many people noticed on alot of the technical things bonham did in his playing,sometimes its just over looked, because not unless your listening for certain fills and you no what your listening for its easy to miss or uninterrupted whats actually been played,ive done it on a few songs and when i got back and listen to Georges take on it 99.9% of the time he is right,it even blows me away sometimes,, you can really appreciate and envy how good bonham really was,,,and dont forget when bonham started out with zeppelin he was 19 years old and only been playing for 4 years on a kit that is,, he would of had alot of practice on his snare drum he got when he was 10 give or take a year or two (correct me if im wrong)....thats why his singles,Parra diddles,and doubles were so precise....

[@glennhughes1023]

*_Ludwig, still the best sounding drums especially the older classic sets from the 60's and 70's... I think they just somehow just fluked it with this particular model because Ludwig has never quite been able to replicate that sound since messing with different woods, plies, thicknesses and dimensions... Like a lot of acoustic instrument making, it's more of an art than a science... My first set was Ludwig in 1965 which I later foolishly traded in for a set of Rodgers which I eventually ended up hating... after that, I must have tried just about every brand of drum out there as if searching for that perfect sound, which now as I reflect, was my original Ludwig's... It's just like they say, "You don't appreciate what you've got until you lose it"_*

So glad to see someone else promote reso side tuning first. Any time someone needs help tuning their drums and i find one way off I pull the batter head off and tune the bottom. it make it go so much easier.

[@inkeye1]

Thanks for providing the Tune-bot settings. You wouldn’t happen to also have a Drum Dial around or to borrow? :)

[@martinmalachowski5336]

Also, I purchased a "Tune Bot" to better dial in the tone on the ,"Green Sparkle " kit.

[@martinmalachowski5336]

UPDATE: As I built this TANK from separate Flebay purchases, targeting the '73 kit, I averaged instead, a '75 kit! Two 3-ply and 2 6-ply ! The 3-ply fell into the range Gr. Sparkle while the 6-ply was a cross between the"GS" and Vista Lite! But, these are new heads! Let me beat em up a bit, then retune!!

[@tonymarinelli7304]

I am a drummer, however, it drives me nuts when a drummer doesn't know how to properly tune his set. Whether you like a low or high pitch to your drums at least set your snare correctly. You need that sweet pop.

Tony Marinelli A well tuned drum kit will form new islands in the pacific ocean if your play them properly...

I promise I won't! It's easy to say that this would be the kit I would want to be buried/cremated with, but both my daughter and son show enough musical aptitude at a young age to want to make sure they have access to it after I'm gone. And of course, all joking aside, it would be crazy to bury or burn this kit when the legacy of Bonham's sound must continue to flourish for the rest of time!

[@kevinfrazee1707]

Thanks for posting this. To break it down and get to hear the resonant head then putting on the batter, and hearing the drum after cleared things up for me. I've struggled to tune a 16" floor tom for so long, now it sings beautifully. Thank you!!!! P.S great playing too!

[@KickItLikeBonham]

Kevin Frazee That's great! I really worried for a minute that I was going to be a little overly redundant in going over every single drum the same way, but comments like yours help assure me that I was on the right track. I'd watched that Jeff Ocheltree video where he goes over Bonham's kit a million times, and while I still love it, I really wish he hadn't skipped over so much of the process of putting it together. I'm really glad to hear you have the tone you like now!

[@KickItLikeBonham]

mike evangelista Hey Mike, I actually used my movie-editing (Cyberlink PowerDirector 11) software to add the reverb. I find its the easiest way to achieve that big room sound without as much digital decay to the sound. It's also because of my lack of education in sound-mixing that I use that program as well :) I mix a little bit in ProTools and then take it into the movie-editing software. Thanks so much for the super nice compliment!

[@SirHiggalot]

I like that you emphasize the tuning of the resonant heads. It seems like a lot of drummers forget that their reso heads even exist lol but they are SO IMPORTANT.

[@KickItLikeBonham]

I completely agree. Tuning the resonant head really helps establish the tone and characteristics of the drum itself. It would be a shame to lose the range that the bottom head really adds to the way your drums sound.

Outstanding video on every level. I'm primarily a guitar player but also engineer and write/record all of my parts. Drums were my first instrument and I love coming back to them if I end up away for a while. My favorites are Roger Taylor and Neil Peart but I've spent the last few months diving into the wonderful world of John Bonham. As an engineer, I love wide open drums and unported resonant heads. It's our jobs as engineers to capture the artist's sound and make it the best it can be. Not to have a personal preference and expect the artist to comply without really good reason(s). As always, it's in the hands of the player to make it sound great and the engineer to faithfully capture that great sound. You sound fantastic!

Nice! These green sparkle drums sound super amazing! Wish I would have known these tuning secrets back when I was a drummer playing all over So.Cal and Hollywood in the 80's.. These sound GREAT.. must make playing even that much more enjoyable and satisfying id imagine as well.. oh and the white heads. If I was ever to drum again I'd definitely use the coated.. although the Bonham acrylic are the Remo clear dot ..being that they're see through. I'd say clear..but I actually remember when they first came out I believe all they had was clear at first..? Seem to recall that anyway... Nice Bonham triplets solo towards the end there too!
