Did John Bonham play Teardrops?

Post by Frank Godiva »

No he didn’t.

He did use the house kit during Zepplins only appearance on the German TV show Beat Club. You can tell it’s an older 3ply cause of the angle of the tom holder. It also featured the D472 beech pancake snare. I don’t think Bonzo would have had that big drum sound he was known for on such a kit. The tunes were lip synced for the taping. See below from the LZ website.
