“The Fill” fully explained by a master student of John Bonham’s drum stylings. As always Bonzoleum takes you through the nuances of the fill – getting inside the time in a way that helps you understand how it fits to the grid and how Bonham’s unique sense of rhythm and use of accents gives the fill its magic.
What does “follow the yellow brick road” have to do with the fill? I’ll give you a hint – the answer is related to the bass drum on the downbeat!
