Led Zeppelin
or
John Bonham
They burst onto the music scene in November of 1968 and 12 years and eight albums
later, they were gone. According to the band's singer Robert Plant "The band didn't exist, the minute
Bonzo died." Drummer John Bonham, a hugely influential drummer who died at the age of only 32,
propelled Led Zeppelin into hard rock history during those 12 brief years.
This book contains the drum transcriptions of what many consider to be Led Zeppelin's best songs.

The transcripts in this book were done by Joe Bergamini and Marc Atkinson and, aside from a few errors that I found, they are quite accurate. Note that although Joe Begamini also wrote 23 transcripts of Classic Bonham Drum Tracks for his book Drum Techniques of Led Zeppelin, this book contains 9 additional transcripts not in that collection.
Led Zeppelin Mothership: The Bottom Line
I recommend this book of transcripts to drummers of all styles, not just rock fans. Anyone can benefit from this collection of drummer John Bonham's greatest grooves and fills. And for those who don't have all of the original audio tracks to play along with, they can all be found on the CD/DVD collection Mothership.
While the book Led Zeppelin: Mothership provides good value at its retail price of $24.95, you can find it at a substantial discount at:
