"Ramble On" off of Led Zeppelin II - Another brilliant demonstration of dynamics, groove, and catchy accessibility that permeated Led Zeppelin II, Led Zeppelin melt a lot of faces and blow a lot of minds with this song.

John Bonham's approach to this song was unique in playing some sort of percussive element throughout the verses instead of opting for a more traditional beat. It's a relatively easy song to learn note for note, especially given that the isolated drums of Bonham's actual performance are available (here:    • Led Zeppelin - Ramble On Drum Track I...  ). Still, it instills a great sense of timing, dynamics, groove, enough technique to give a beginner - intermediate drummer a bit of a coordination challenge (because of the ghost notes / texture), and a song every drummer should have in their arsenal because it's a fan favorite to hear at any show.

Also, since I screwed up on the camera above the kit - I'm using my stick bag to get the percussive element. I thought it was a pretty close approximation. I really don't know what Bonham used in the studio - most likely a practice pad. Whatever it was, it had to be set up pretty close to the snare and ride cymbal, as he went directly back into playing it without dropping a beat from the choruses and bridge back into the versus. That's as much as I'll speculate here...
