I don't think there is such a thing as a best drummer in the world. I think there are lots of great drummers, favorite drummers, famous drummers, etc. But "best" doesn't really work when you're dealing with something subjective like art. I can't scientifically tell you who is the best drummer in the world. - Jared Falk

If Jared is 4000 miles off from Bonham... I’m light years away!😂

The drumming on Fool in the rain is amazing because it features all of the strongest aspects of Bonham’s playing: power and finesse, intensity and control

What's up with these criticisms? He played the parts correctly. Who cares if his kick head is loose.

I listened to Dave Weckl, Terry Bozzio, Jeremy Taggart, Larry Mullen Jr, Carter Beauford, Jeff Porcaro, and the list could just go on and on! - Jared

What I like about the intro to this is that he points out that it doesn't have to be perfect. It doesn't have to be exactly as John played it. I think that's important for a lot of new drummers out there, or anyone for that matter. I've been playing for 34 years and still struggle with this one and I'm okay with it. Thanks for a great lesson, Jared!

I don't think your giving yourself enough credit on this groove. I thought you NAILED it!

Bonham can be analyzed not replicated.

Jared is a sick-ass drummer. Just wanted to say that, you get all these amazing guests, but the crew itself deserves some ups!

Great lesson Jared!!

This guy extremely talented and tremendously humble. We cant thank you enough for your hard work and dedication to provide these videos. I, my self, have been able to take my drumming to another solely because of these videos.

I think I've watched a fair amount of the fool in the rain covers and that small snippet of you playing bonhams beloved groove is absolutely insane. I literally have watched it over and over again. You fucking nailed it dude.

Drumeo....I love you humble attitude and you do a great job of teaching!

Those are all amazing drummers as well... As I said, the list goes on! I get that as well... It just takes time building the muscles up.

great video! All these comments make me Feel like im in the "guitar center" drum room...lots of wanna be drum experts .

It's a 26" bass drum and was tuned low so there were a few wrinkles :)

It took me a couple of weeks to get this groove down. The thing about Bonham is that he would swing the time a lot...he was a very intuitive player. You did a great job playing it. I'm petty sure Bonham wasn't thinking trip, ple, let when he played it...lol. When I practiced it I didn't either. I just let it come out. The purdie shuffle is very addictive once you get it down. I wanted to play it in every song when I first figured it out.

I've recently lost my drumming my motivation and watching this video and gotten me motivated to learn this song, I thank you Jared.

Absolutely perfect cymbal setup.

So many amazing John Bonham grooves throughout the entire Zeppelin catalog. I am so grateful to have seen him play live ( 1977 Oakland Ca. I was 14 yrs. old, Zeppelin’s very last U.S. performance ever ) he was absolutely mesmerizing to watch. I’m also very grateful he was able to give the world 🌎 “Fool In The Rain” a beautiful example of John’s amazing feel and groove on the drums. Thank you John for inspiring myself & millions ( R.I.P.) thank you Jared for sharing your talent and videos .. ✌️

Awesome!! One of the best drum songs ever created. Love it!Todd

Best & most accurate explanation of the nuts & bolts of that beat. Thanks Jared!

It's so great to analyze songs like this. I was listening to 'in my memory' by Christiano Parato, Scott Henderson and Lele Melotti and the opening drum intro immediately reminded me of fool the rain by Zeppelin. That again reminded me of Rosanna by Toto and the famous half time shuffle beat by the great Mastermind Purdie. Thanks for this brilliant drum lesson!

Great job Jared, this is my favorite Led Zeppelin song if I had to choose.

I love Jared's skill as a drummer and his humility say there was only one Bonham. Jared does an amazing job breaking down the grooves and the fills on FITR and makes it less intimidating for those of us who hope to try this classic tune.

Great job!! Love that Jeff Porcaro said he combined this and the Bo Diddley shuffle to make the shuffle for Rosanna, insane talent!

nice lesson! that groove is so simple to hear, yet so difficult to play. I would say it's impossible to play it whit the feeling and the sound Bonham had. And that makes us understand what being a legend means :)

Love his interest and motivation in drums. I will learn this song fully after this video Nice lesson. Thank you guys on drumeo

I have been wanting to learn this groove for years! I have watched a lot of vids and of course Jared was the best! And I actually can play it now. You are the best man! Always enjoy drumeo!

Honestly I could listen to you talk about music all day. It’s like a master class in theory. And the playings a bonus.

Nick Swardson

Excellent. I've been hearing the kick come in before one but wasn't sure how it was done. Finally your tablature totally explains it!

Great show. Fool in the rain is by far my favorite tune in the world. Its wonderfully written and i can actually feel the notes. Not the 1st time ive ever felt music, but this one truly resonates with my soul....❤ great job. Lots of talent!

jared you always kill it with execution in every video ... seriously you are great.

I love your material. Thoughtfully communicated and executed. Thanks Jared!

Thank you for the lesson, after watching this video about 20 times over while on the kit I can now sloppily play this amazing groove

Jared, you are the MAN for taking the time to teach us and inspire. Your efforts are very much appreciated! I'm a middle school science teacher and your approach to sharing knowledge is very comfortable and easy to understand. Nice work!

This is my favorite video that you have made. Thank you Drumeo and Jared you are a fantastic drummer boss.

Starting playing drums 7 months ago and been using a lot of your videos. Like I seen in another comment you are certainly very humble and a talented dude. Thanks a ton sir!

I'm proud of my self that I've finally learned it, thank you.

Jared. I really admire your humble approach. Thanks for these great lessons.

Jared great job love that groove!!!

I've listened to the isolated track of Bonzo's shuffle and you nailed the sound and feel in my opinion! Great tutorial!

Just wanted to say thank you so much Jared! Thank you for this awesome, super helpful video. Now I can agree with saying I could play this beat all day.

You are very kind to demonstrate this groove. Thank you so much.

A lot have fun just listening and watching you play it it is a great song indeed.

I enjoy the fact that you love drumming (it shows) and understand the groove of Bonham is extremely difficult if not impossible to duplicate. I've heard some drummers that blow me away that can play this beat but it never quite sounds the same...same for Pocaro.

I love how confusing something can be to me at first but after studying the music and counting it out it just all falls in place. Every time I learn something it seems so easy after the fact but without the music written out it's much more difficult. I've been playing guitar for 16+ years and only 6 of that has been with a large focus on theory and written music(and in these past 6 years I've advanced more than in the prior ten cause I practice now more than I play). I'm glad I started drums with an understanding of music theory cause it has made learning drums much easier than my first 5 years of learning guitar by ear/poorly written tabs. Learning a few instruments has really helped me understand theory much better so I can apply it to any instrument.

nice guy can see he really likes to teach,one of my fave zepplin tracks,love playing this groove its my start point for my drum practice for the last 20 yrs

His chops and drum sound is so unique and fantastic.

Thanks Jared. You are an inspiration and a master at your craft. Sincerely, Nelson

I believe that was an Evans ST. Great head for a nice rock sound.

thanks for posting, I love this groove and can't get it out of my head. This is great help to try and emulate a drum God. Looking forward to more videos.

You're way too modest bro. You're a really badass drummer. I love your lessons my friend. Watching and listening to you has helped me improve by leaps and bounds. Thanks man.

Thanks for breaking this down and transcribing it. Very helpful lesson.

hey Jared well done ma man...I'm a drummer & a big Bonham freak and dude you NAILED IT beautifully....kudos to you :-))

Gracias gracias. Se agradece el tiempo, la dedicación, el interés, la pasión. Y sobre todo, para los menos entendidos en el idioma inglés y el idioma musical, las partituras. ¡No se detengan!

Thank you! Always wanted to learn this and by following step-by-step I got it pretty quickly!!!😃

Literally trying this for years on and off. Got myself an electric kit and have been able to practice more than usual. I've been trying again for weeks and days to get this one right with a small bit of progress. A friend of mine came over for chats and I was just behind the kit casually tapping away and was like "hold on a second... I've only gone and figured it out!!?" I'll be playing this one for weeks!!

Dude You rock. Nice work. Your honesty is refreshing But you ARE killin it.

Great stuff. Excellent instruction and exhortation. Thanks!

Jared! Your face is fantastic while you were playing the intro!!!

Love Paiste cymbals! Plus the attitude and aproach is awesome!

Best drum groooove ever ! You did great man !!!

Agree with Joe! Dude. You nailed it. Pat yourself on the back bro! My band is going to ATTEMPT to cover this song and I'm going to send him this vid. 😜

Hey! I stopped playing the drums for some months, I didn't feel like it I don't know why, but your videos have encouraged me to start again and I'm enjoying it a lot. Thank you, they are really useful, you are a really good teacher!

I enjoy your work Jared thank you.

I’m an intermediate but Drumeo videos help my drumming. Thanks guys for making these excellent lessons!

Perfect Jared! Thank you for explaining so clearly this "Must Know" beat

You are a great drum teacher! Thanks...enjoyed this lesson!

I remember playing along to this on headphones back in the 80s and 90s thinking I was pretty good. Then along came the internet....had no idea this groove was so tricky. After a couple months, I'm finally getting it. What a challenge. The same thing happened to me with 50 ways to leave your lover, much more complex than what your hearing.

Very good job! I especially like your bass drum technique!

thank you !! that was a blast to learn. Addictive

Thanks for this Jared, finally getting the groove to play this song!

Learning this groove will make you a better drummer... such an iconic and fun groove to play

About time you put out a lesson about Fool in the Rain. It's an awesome groove!

Great lesson! This is one that if you think about too much, you get a late snare hit. So get the basics and then just feel it!

Took me a couple of days but finally playing this decently. Thanks!

This is freaking cool man. Thanks for making this video.

Thanks man! One of my favorites to just jam.

i watched this explanation and i can now do a (slow!) shuffle... isolating hi-hat then snare finally made sense of it in a way that i can remember: no other youtube video has done this - thank you!

GREAT JOB AND EXCELLENT LESSON, BRUDDA!

That groove is just so damn pleasing to listen to.

John Bonham! One of my most inspirational drummers!

You have to give your self a lot of credit, you are an awesome drummer, and I tell you some great drummers are lousy teachers. You are a really good teacher. You help me learn this beat thanks so much

Love it !😍🥰🤩 Maybe I won't play the exact groove, but I can create something similar based on that particular track and lesson. Thanks 😁

I can't tell you how many times I've tried to learn this groove. I guess I'll give it another shot. LOL

You know what I really loved what you said and I think it's the most important? You said as a drummer work on finding your own sound.

Thank you for sharing, and making it easy

Jared you really rock that groove. Can't wait to try that sometime.

Great lesson. Your love for drumming is infectious. Im real close to getting this groove. Haha. Only took 20 years

Sweet! Fine job my man!

I truly respect your honesty of interpretation and NOT saying this is exactly Bonham. I think Bonzo played a cool game of making sure no one could replicate himself.

To anyone who thinks Bonham had his bass drum head so loose is wrong. Every video I've seen where people are taking about bonzos drums has talked about how he tunes his drums tight like a big band drummer.

Great job. Sounds like Bonham to me. Your feel is right on.

Love it! I've always been a closet drummer but I've started to play in front of people. Obviously this will still take me awhile to get it down almost perfect, but this helped me get the beat down! Thanks for this lesson, and keep drumming! :)

awesome vid. well, well done. thanks. and minute 1:00 ? well put and a most great, positive attitude/outlook...for music and in anything in life. thumbs up and subscribing now. May We All Rock On!

Awesome groove! Working on it later today!
