One thing I love about this song's drumming is it sounds like there is so much going on there, but when you see how it's correctly done, you realize it's done with a minimal kit and it's basically a high school level arrangement.

[@TerryMCarroll]

Like boxing a speed bag ... for 3 minutes and 40 seconds. This is fluid athleticism on display: such endurance and finesse. Utterly remarkable. Thank you!

[@Alejoacuna]

He is a tank for sure, amazing performance!!

[@TheStinkysteve]

What Stamina to continue the same volume of hit for that long of a period of time

[@tuffsheddweller]

Perfect description of the drumming here 🥊

[@jacquesdemolay5171]

FINALLY, someone got the bass drum part right! The intro, the double-handed pulse between hi-hat and snare, and all the breaks were done correctly, as so many people tend to do them wrong. But most people don't realize how much is going with the kick drum as well, and that's what really captures the original and "authentic" feel. Excellent work!

[@michaelmcinerney4273]

Absolutely nailed that! Not seen anything this album close in my life!!!

[@davidyork8325]

He covered it ALL!!! Perfect execution as well!!! Keep pushing!!!

[@StephanSeiler2]

Incredible cover! This beat is devilishly hard to maintain with the ghost notes on the snare throughout!!!

[@tdrum21]

Yes it is with the right feel. It’s like a straightened out shuffle

[@grumpydrummer8960]

Not really necessary to apply ghost note beats until you're comfortable with the groove. Oterwise a drummer will overwork it and bugger it up. Build the skillset. Play on.

[@jamesdecklar5711]

Dude's right leg is getting a workout. I love how Bonham did with 1 drum what many use two for these days.

[@thebarefootdrummer6375]

As a long time drummer the groove is hard but what I think is harder is how the song starts cause there's no count in

[@Catinthehackmatrix]

check out Bonhamology!

[@ThomMillsDrums]

Finally someone who plays it correctly with all the bass drums! Absolutely fantastic playing!

[@warren_r]

The gong in the background is the coup de grace of this whole video. What a flex, having a giant gong for the video, only for looks.

[@ArtOfDrumming]

💪😁

[@chrisgabiger2399]

No ,he plays other songs too

[@josephcasile6314]

Not just technically proficient, you totally captured that Bonham feel. Great playing.

[@huarachudo47]

Finally someone played the intro like it is.

[@mattstetzel4643]

This song is all about feel. It's definitely the magic of this song and Bonham. I love big drums tuned wide open. You can hear the two heads in the kick working with each other. You can also hear the whole kit in reverberation with each other. In other words. The instrument as a whole

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Nice statement!

[@lorenzoferrari2887]

I think this cover is the most accurate of all times! And the sound is just incredible!!! Keep rocking!!!🔥🔥🤟🏻

[@kapel1742]

The only thing that is missing is that Ludwig Speed King pedal. The Bonham spirit is living in this vid!

[@andriealinsangao613]

You mean the Squeak King, as Bonzo called it?

[@chefafischer]

Best Ive seen since Bonzo. Bravo

[@andrygutierrez4778]

From Venezuela 🇻🇪 😮😮😮😮😮OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@georgejohnson2046]

I like hearing the isolated drums.

[@needle11]

Kudos to whoever miced up the kit!

[@fonolavalencia]

You nailed the bass drum line, is exactly as the studio version. Usually Bonz played it the easy way live. Thanks for the 'guide' I am rehearsing this song for a gig this weekend.

[@johnemelio8681]

Pascal @artofdrumming never seen anyone EVER lay down Bonham with more accuracy and discipline ever. @briantichy @jasonbonham would proud to see this... And that's the way to man up on the bass drum by filling up the 8ths between the snare downbeat 2 and 4 Song is a right of passage to build up the groove power endurance of bass drum control and achieving the trade mark sound of the man himself

[@jimterryberry6507]

It’s such a punching drum like. That beginning is always a groovy slap in the face

[@hypercussion]

Best cover I've seen of this song anywhere. You really nailed the ghost notes on the snare drum where most drummers will just play the quarter notes on the downbeat. Very smooth and powerful at the same time. Great job!

[@_-_Michael_-_]

Was thinking about this song for almost a year how noone actually plays what is on record and there are lot of videos on YT how to play eazy version but not any of them done right. Finaly I can send to all drummers that play this wrong this video. Thank you. Great job. 👍🥁❤️

[@Dywrektor]

Definitely agree! Bass drum pattern is on point

[@aaronslaughter1450]

Seriously the best cover of Led Zeppelin!

[@liamshandy]

This is incredibly good. This entire series is incredibly good. Can you guys do an Ian Paice episode?

[@michaelmcinerney4273]

Would love to hear The Mule & Fireball. Wow!

[@hpatss4966]

And bill bruford

[@Catinthehackmatrix]

I'm glad he kept it simple, reminded me of trying to overplay this song with too much cymbals, but this one was just about perfect!

[@flakobatako]

Great. Finally a drummer that knows the difference between RLK and LRK triplets... Bravo!

[@fakeeru6783]

Your most accurate recreation I think! Finally some Paistes...

[@Dan071459]

Perfect double, get to enjoy the video of you playing this iconic drum heavy tune and, then watch and listen to the drum isolation all in one video. I’d like to see more of that. Thanks, we’ll done.

[@that-avr-drummer]

Awesome cover brother, spot on!! This song is exhausting to play when done correctly like this ;-)

[@isihernandez9752]

Indeed ! 😅

[@michaelmcinerney4273]

JUST BRILLIANT. This is the truest to the album version I've perhaps ever heard in my 40 years of listening to Led Zeppelin. Bonzo would've raised a glass to this effort! Love to hear "Misty Mountain Hop".

[@less_than_zero05]

Today I bought new headphones and the first thing I wanted to hear was that exactly drum intro. Now I'm watching you and I don't even hear any differences. Very accurate and beautiful cover! Keep on rocking!

[@carlosruizesparzadiazcontr1259]

Perfecta! Perfecta! Felicidades

[@daniellehenisey7883]

Very well done ❤❤❤❤

[@geovanepinheiro5495]

ESSA IDEIA DE FAZER OS 2 VÍDEOS FICOU SENSACIONAL, MELHOR VÍDEO DE COVER DRUM DA INTERNET. PARABÉNS!!!!

[@acdclocurasincura]

Absolutely Nailed It. Best version of how it plays seen 'till this day.. another outsatanding version is of "kick it like Bonham"''s channel.

[@Rekles]

Great job so talented!! Thanks love watching

[@dftns]

Pascal for president of the beat 🥁Republik! ✊🏼

[@rirchardrubio5621]

Yes, you did the Drum solo just like Bonham!!! First time seeing someone do it well!!!!

[@josephguido9301]

Nice to see a fellow drummer that still plays with straight cymbal stands. 👍

[@moward3]

now i have to learn it. have played for yrs but never played exact always put my spin on it. so now playing it correctly and putting my accents in it will be awesome. you can't teach a band the beg bc most cant count.

[@Riiiiiiikzzzz]

I've watched some cover videos of this song, i realized there's missing note but when i watch this cover damn this one is nearly close to bonzo! Ridiculous! U awesome dude!

[@beef3344]

Awesome job on the kick especially!

[@coZyLos]

this is so far the best i’ve heard.. sounds exactly like the original.. especially in the ending solo.. great job!

[@knry9125]

The best note for note cover I've ever heard, Excellent! Thanks

[@julianhector4927]

Muy bien!! Excelente el baterista!! Este si tiene bien futuro!! Te felicito 🇦🇷!! Saludos Cordiales.

[@derekpink]

AWESOME! This one will make you sweat.

[@evilblumonkee959]

Absolute beast of a track!!! Long live Bonzo ✌🏻

[@flaviodelucena1974]

Hell of a drummer.

[@riggers6214]

So, 0.00 to 3.38 I'm in absolute awe of this guy, thinking that there can be no finer cover of this legendary song. It's absolute perfection. Then, not being a drummer myself, when it started at 3.39 and beyond, I slipped into parent mode - wondering how Pascal's parents must have felt whilst he was practicing in his bedroom, allthoseyearsago! 😂😂😂

[@robertosilveira2384]

INCREDIBLE MAN!!! PRECISION POWER AND SWING!!

[@jonniegibbins]

Songs like this make me very glad I play bass rather than drums. Great job Pascal :-)

[@Crankerny58]

Nailed It!!

[@jaymeramirez7435]

Sounds perfect

[@timbrady6473]

Smokin !

[@LIXOSonidoyDiscos]

Pascal, you are a great drummer. Congratulations! Nice Glyn Johns mic technic. Sounds like our lovely John Bonham. 😍😍

[@balddrummer8736]

Super killer guys!!! 🥁🤘🏻🥁❤️‍🔥

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Thanks!

[@Morais2775]

Perfect, brow! Perfect I never thought see, a normal people playing these song ❤

[@rod-drummer7262]

AMAZING !!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@MykWazowski]

2:34-2:39 One of my favorite groove fills. \,,/ Well done, Pascal.

[@brunomaiza1329]

Amazing man , you are awesome , and this song is one the best songs of Rock and Roll history , great job

[@johnnyplatis]

Pascal, you simply did it. Not easy. well done! Edit: I have come to appreciate you even more. Being fed up from the flashy majority of youtube drummers, it is quite satisfactory to me to watch somebody who seeks precision.

[@pancrasio08]

That 👻 notes at the snare, very accurate

[@ajbambino]

Haha holy crap man, you absolutely demolished this in the best way possible! Bonham would be proud! Also, incredible job on tuning and dynamics bro! Something about Paistes and Ludwigs that just cant be beat also and you managed to absolutely destroy it and im blasting this on repeat! Hell yeah man!!!!

[@grahamrushall6044]

Nailed it

[@ahmadabuhamad7900]

Finally yyyy! A worthy cover

[@fannydwargee1818]

Amazing cover, finally a cover with ghosts notes along the entire song as Bonham did. And your bass drum workout is wonderful. You got my like, buddy, keep up the good work!!

[@WorlockBojangles]

Sound guy:John you’re too loud! JB: IDGAF This dude is just living up to the standard of the song.
