Want To Drum Like You're In Led Zeppelin? Now You Can

Drumming enthusiasts looking to play like a rock n roll legend may participate in a drum clinic Sunday, May 18.

We're gonna groove.

If you watched "The Song Remains The Same" with quiet awe and/or tried to play the drums with your hands to emulate Led Zeppelin's drummer John "Bonzo" Bonham, here's your chance to reach god status.

School of Rock Montclair is hosting a drum clinic Sunday, May 18 entitled "Bonzo 101" where professional drummer Steve Murphy will teach participants tips, tricks and secrets to drumming like a pro.

“There’s no better drummer to demonstrate and dissect John Bonham’s power and technique than our own Steve Murphy,” said owner of School of Rock Montclair Matt Sandoski.  “Steve will explain how to capture the distinctive Bonham style, and everyone in attendance will walk away with a new understanding of and appreciation for Bonzo’s artistry.”

The workshop is open to people of all ages and skill levels. It will take place at Just Jake's at 30 Park Street in Montclair from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Admission is free to School of Rock students and $10 for non-students. Interested persons may call 973-337-5296 for more information.
