SINCE I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU / HTWWW VERSION / DRUM COVER

Continuing in my series of videos covering the entire How The West Was Won album, here is Since I've Been Loving You. This is a very challenging one to do because in addition to memorizing all the little differences in his fills and phrasing, there is a lot of elasticity to the time on this song. Bonzo pushes and pulls quite a bit so it's very difficult to keep right in sync with every phrase. But that quality is what makes the music feel so good...it's human...it breathes, it sways, it swings! Absolutely one of my favorite recorded performances of LZ.

The only place where you can see the wonder of john bonham played perfectly with all the camera angles... I wonder if jason has seen any of your videos

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Thanks!

[@Remy-zh7jo]

Man those new drums sound amazing..

[@john6666steele]

The ride looks humongous at some of the angles!

[@Ash_Hudson]

Is it a 24"?

[@Lanark-iy4mt]

This is the level of control and dynamic we should all be inspired by and aspire to.

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Thank you Lanark!

Bonham, reincarnated. Spot-on note for note playing. Very nice thank you.

[@knry9125]

Awesome! Where's the squeaky speed king pedal? LOL, very nicely done sir!

[@andystyles94]

Love the way you mixed this George. That’s probably the most beef I’ve heard off your kick drum yet! Incredible.

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Thanks ! I'm experimenting with EQ, reverb. Maybe went a bit heavy with the verb, but I wanted to try to simulate that sound from the album.

[@felixgalan3059]

yes kick drum is kicking !!

[@AlexSlavenDrums]

@@BONHAMOLOGY I think it really adds to the live sound, makes the drums sound like they're actually part of the original live track!

[@carlstatham594]

@@BONHAMOLOGY Apologies doing a George playlist today. Yes, just a bit over on the reverb, sort of lose some of the distinction of the drum sounds. As always execution is flawless.

[@jamesbell9011]

👋 George just 🔥burn'n the midnight oil...I stopped by to check out some more of your videos...I didn't know there was this many changes in this song!!! IAM addicted to you and your talents...and TERRY'S as well!!! Take Care*******

Dig that little Robert Anthony cameo setting up my favorite Bonzo fill in this number although the one at 0:45 eclipsed it.

Yeah , little attempt at comic relief. 🙂

Thanks!

[@DaveDamageDrums]

That sweeping fill at the 5:22 mark, unbelievable, Bonzo was the best! Incredible playing George on one of my all time favorites! I saw this and just automatically put it on loop. This is how I would like to play when I grow up. Cheers!

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Yeah, really elastic! That's the feel, he really commanded the beat!!

[@Ash_Hudson]

@@BONHAMOLOGY Yeah, and despite his snare already sounding like a shotgun, that added lag on the downbeat just makes it sound double barreled.

How do you get the snare to sound so good?

[@Tom.Thorslund]

Very nice sir! So many little things in here to memorize so well done! The new kit is sounding great. Are you using ambassadors on all tom batters?

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Thank you. The 14 tom has an Emperor, the 16 and 18 have Ambassadors.

[@stevengood6434]

The original record version of this is so slow it's hard for me to play it. I think Jimmy slowed down the final mix

[@josephmonaco4503]

Pete, How are you getting that beautiful echo, reverb and compression sound on your drums in your house? Do you have it running through a powered 6 or 8 channel mixer with effects, because They sound so sweet. Especially your snare.

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Thanks Joseph, my name is George. Pete is the bass player in PfoZ. 😊 I use a bit of reverb post recording when I'm mixing. I use Audacity to add just a bit of EQ, compression and reverb.

[@alexfairhurst359]

I saw you say in another comment you’re experimenting with reverb. One of the best tips I can give is to use a pair of room mics, panned in stereo. Add reverb to them until they sound like the size of the room you wish you were recording in, then compress them a bit and blend them in with the close mics. Ideally you shouldn’t need any reverb on the close mics (other than perhaps a little on the snare) and you’ll get a much more realistic drum sound. Either way, your kit sounds incredible and you play it very well!

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

I really appreciate the comment. Thank you. I would love to get more mics, and a bigger board but the space I have is pretty limited, although I do think I could set up a couple room mics. Do you have a recommendation for how far apart they should be? I'm assuming in front of the kit and spaced evenly left and right? I've recorded in a lot of studios in Chicago, and I have friends who are sound engineers as well. Thanks again for the advice. 👍🏻

[@alexfairhurst359]

@@BONHAMOLOGY No worries man, happy to help! Yeah that placement would probably work pretty well. Could be worth pointing them at the wall to get more of the reflections and less of that actual raw sound of the kit, which maximises the “roominess” of the sound

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

@@alexfairhurst359 Awesome. Thanks again, very appreciative. 👍🏻 What mics do you recommend? I have a couple cheap condenser mics MXL V 250....or should I use a different type?

[@alexfairhurst359]

@@BONHAMOLOGY I like to use AKG C414s as room mics, but just about any large diaphragm condenser should do the job. High pass the mics around 200Hz to get rid of low end rumble, take out a little bit of 400-500Hz honk, and use a subtle low pass filter to control any cymbal wash if necessary. If your reverb plugin has a pre delay control I’d recommend setting it to 10-15 milliseconds. Also, as a general rule with room mics, the dirtier the compressor, the better! Something like an Empirical Labs Distressor or Urei 1176 emulator will add some beautiful harmonics and distortion

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

@@alexfairhurst359 Fantastic!! Thank you! Notes taken. BTW, I just saw another Shure 548 go up on eBay....$350, with issues! WTF is going on with those mics?? Crazy.

[@luciodrum87]

Hi Man! Great, amazing performance! What Microphones do you use, and how effect, only reverb? Thanks

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Thanks. I have Shure KSM 137's overhead, a Shure 548 on the snare and an AKG D112 on the bass drum. I use a little compression, EQ amd Reverb.

[@luciodrum87]

@@BONHAMOLOGY Thank you for answering 🙌😉

[@rorymcclellan3740]

5:10 Was that a rimshot on the left stick? Iv never seen that before!

[@tomkelsey2303]

Yeah, the wood drums just breathe better than the SS kit.

[@clark4817]

how do get your drums to sound SO huge when it looks youre mostly using area mics

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

It's a combination of factors, the tuning, and the way I hit the drums...I add a little reverb and compression in the final mix.
