About the event

Creative Director of the Palace Drum Clinic (PDC) Matt Green, presents ‘The Genius of John Bonham’ drum masterclass, which is based on the legendary drummer for Led Zeppelin. Their iconic music has been popular for over 50 years and has been used for many TV shows and Hollywood Films including the Marvel franchise.

John Bonham is still one of the most influential rock drummers of all time, more than 43 years after his untimely passing. During this masterclass, Matt will demonstrate why ‘Bonzo’ remains so influential to drummers of all genres and abilities.

He will showcase what he believes to be the four major drum grooves that have cemented John Bonham’s legendary status. A lot of people struggle to play Bonzo’s grooves, so Matt will break them down and help build them up again so you can understand them, whichever playing level you’re at.
