Bonham’s Squeaky Drum Pedal


On the song Since I’ve Been Loving You, Bonzo’s pedal squeaks. How pronounced is it on your system? How loud do you have to play the song before you notice it?

Classic Speed King squeak. They all do it pretty much. Very obvious, especially to me. I’m a drummer… cool they kept it in there.

Jimmy Page said that when he was working on the remasters (released in about 1990) he was unable to remove the squeak.

Yes, it was and is an issue. A shame, but there ya go.

I haven’t heard any subsequent remasters.

The squeak is there right @ 4" when the drums enter, continues throughout the track. Not the end of the world IMO...
