Drum cover of Rock And Roll from Led Zeppelin from their 4th album released in 1971.

It's been said that this song came to be written as a spontaneous jam session, while the band were trying (and failing) to finish the track "Four Sticks". Drummer John Bonham played the introduction to Little Richard's "Keep a Knockin'" and Page added a guitar riff. The tapes were rolling and fifteen minutes later the basis of the song was down and is one of the few Led Zeppelin songs where all four members share the composer credit.

I learned the opening drum pattern from a transcription from "Off The Record" Inside The Playing of Today's Top Drummers by Ed Breckenfeld. The intro starts on the "and" of 3.

Triggered a modified Green Ludwig Vistalite kit from Addictive Drums ADpak-Retro.

Excellent drum cover of this classic Zep tune , Sal. This is one I've never had too much trouble with except for the little solo at the end, never been able to get it quite the same as Bonzo did it, but thanks to your flawless rendition here, by watching it on half speed afew times, I think I'm gettin close!. Thanks again, awesome job!

This is a pretty good version, but if your aim is to demo what Bonzo played, this isn't it. The 1/8th notes ghosting on the snare in the intro continue throughout the song (it's tough!). There are also a couple of great videos on Youtube that breaks the solo right down properly. If, however, you just want to show an interpretation, well done man.

Love it! Love it! Love it! Reminds me of seeing Led Zep on their last night at Earl's Court in 1975. I was in Row 4. They started with "Rock And Roll" and Bonzo just swept right over us and then the band launched in and they just took us up and away like a giant wave cum rollercoaster. What a performance! Great to see how it's done!

Do you save the midi tracks from this? Or the wav files? They could make amazing addition to epic backing tracks or karaoke tracks,

It's funny because most of us just watch the last 15 seconds.
