Chad Smith Tackles Bonham’s First Iconic Led Zeppelin Groove
Chad Smith performs “Good Times Bad Times” by Led Zeppelin—one of John Bonham’s most iconic drum performances from their 1969 debut album. This track showcases Bonham’s legendary bass drum doubles, a driving cowbell groove, and the signature swing feel that defined his style.
Watch as Chad brings his own energy to Bonham’s masterpiece while staying true to the power, feel, and precision that made it unforgettable.
Legends of the ’70s w/ Chad Smith!

This is what he has to do to stay relevant, play along to a recording.? Because original drumming is DEAD. People playing to recordings, that’s drumming, now. Total bullshit, no one can come up with anything as cool as what happened 40 years ago😂

Authentic all the way down to the single-kick insanity.

Chad is a legend as well as Bonham

Whilst technically correct, he lacks the swing and panache that Bonham added to everything he played. Chad is still an absolute beast on the kit though.

Chad's one of my favorite human beings on earth and an incredible talent. And has lots of cool sneakers.

Those triplets! I remember hearing this for the first time in the 70’’s. First song on the album🤯. His drumming blew me away then and still does today.

The first time I heard this song I was 14. I was a guitar player. When I heard the drums in this song I wanted to learn the drums just to play this song lol nothing else. The way that bass drum hits is Soo awesome. It still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up when I hear it.

Good drummer from my home state of Michigan. Not clear as to covering other superior drummers as an impressionist. Mr. Smilth must be bored…

Chad Smith must have the beat running through his veins all the time! Wow! Non musical person here finding myself listening for the drum in songs now.

Chas had been playing and studying Bonham for 50 years and it shows. Epic tribute to the best 🤘

Since Drumeo has highlighted Chad Smith and Stewart Copeland, I have transported myself back to my grade school and high school days and gained a whole new level of appreciation of the true skills.
Thank you!
