Finally a Led Zeppelin song. Not easy right? Bonham was why I picked up the drums at 10 years old. Glad we are experimenting with his work as it’s no joke.

Thank God for John Bonham, Good drumming tho

It's a brutal challenge to throw a drum-less version of this song at someone and then ask them to add drums!

"Zeppelin or some shit." 🙄

Insane that he basically made the song way more interesting!!!

And so we see the pinnacle of "let me show you how fast I can play and just ignore the stuff the other guys are playing, it's not about them….right?" Why try and serve the song when you can serve yourself and you ego…..very sad and incredibly dissapointing.
just another reason not to be inspired by the youth of today.

Led Zeppelin, REM and Bruce Springstien share a place in musical history where each and every track they produce seems to drag on forever making an 11 minute track seem absurdly long and this exercise proves that not even adding an awesome drum part can help. Now I have to go listen to something to cleanse my pallet, thanks Drumeo. Lol

I think this was really good. Definitely interesting to hear such drumming in a Zep song.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Sort out the levels so we can hear the bass drum

It’s hard to believe that being on whose son he is ..that he doesn’t know this song ..that being said ..I loved his take ..it left it open for interpretation. It’s sorta I would have attempted it had I never heard the song ..well done

この曲で眠くならなくなったは初めて。素晴らしい。zepplinの偶然の間を完璧に支配している。

İt is 5:50 and İ can't go any longer. What is wrong with these metal/prog people? Why are they so shortsighted?

He did great, just missed the tom-forward style of Zeppelin. Got the crashes, which he was timid on at first.
Zeppelin is crashes and toms, and it's glorious 😆

he is a genius drummer

I clicked but have not watched yet,( As I type this). I don't know if I want to watch this. In my time of Dying is one of the best Zep songs, (in my opinion). I know Max is a beast behind the kit, but I am scared. Should I watch?

I'm sure Max's dad is proud of him and his performance. 🤘
