Building on the success of Led Grooves Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, comes Led Grooves Vol. 3.
Led Grooves Vol. 3 takes your Black Oyster Kit to a whole new level—expanding the feel, swagger, and unmistakable power of John Bonham across seven legendary songs, including three deep cuts from the much-loved Physical Graffiti era. This collection delivers the same attention to detail as Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, but dives even further into Bonham’s pocket-driven, expressive grooves to give you creative fuel for any style of rock.
Featuring full songs & variations from "Black Dog", "Custard Pie", "Down by the Seaside", "Communication Breakdown", "Immigrant Song", "Wanton Song", and "Stairway to Heaven", Volume 3 brings together some of Bonham’s most adventurous, nuanced, and dynamic drum performances.
What Makes Volume 3 So Special
The Physical Graffiti grooves alone make this collection a must-have. Bonham’s playing on these sessions showcases an evolution in feel—still massive and unmistakably “Bonzo,” but now more pocket-driven, syncopated, and rhythmically expressive. There’s a subtle funkiness and almost alt-rock swing to songs like "Custard Pie", "Down by the Seaside", and "The Wanton Song"—and detailed MIDI transcriptions of these performances are extremely rare, if not altogether non-existent.
We captured it all with precision and musicality, played by a real drummer for human feel, giving you the tools to recreate the magic or push these grooves into brand-new creative territory.

Song Highlights
Black Dog
An iconic, instantly recognizable groove. The shifting accents and call-and-response energy—captured in a fully playable, customizable MIDI format.
Custard Pie (Physical Graffiti)
A rare, hard-to-find transcription delivered with all its rhythmic nuances. A Bo Diddley meets Buddy Holly perfected-by-Bonzo beat, this swampy stomp has plenty of swagger and Bonzo thunder.
Down by the Seaside (Physical Graffiti)
Very dynamic and expressive. From the soft backbeat gently pushing the song along to the hard-hitting, tom-filled middle section, this drum performance is one of our favorites. It showcases a more melancholic, softer side of Bonham rarely heard.
Communication Breakdown
Fast, tight, punk-before-punk. A masterclass in controlled energy.
Immigrant Song
This was heavy metal—arguably before heavy metal. Relentless momentum, hypnotic pulse, and pure power.
Wanton Song (Physical Graffiti)
Loose, playful, and yet still a seriously thunderous Bonham performance. Hits right between the eyes.
Stairway to Heaven
Delicate beginnings rising into one of Bonham’s most iconic climaxes.
