"Four Sticks" is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin from their untitled fourth album (1971). The title reflects drummer John Bonham's performance with two drumsticks in each hand, totaling four.[3]
The song was difficult to record, and required more takes than usual.[3] John Paul Jones played a VCS3 synthesizer on the track.[3] The song has an unusual time signature, featuring riffs in a mixture of 5
8 and 6
8.
The notoriously complex and difficult song was only performed once live by John Bonham May 3rd, 1971, at the KB Hallen Copenhagen, Denmark, confirmed by a rare bootleg recording. Note that this was six months prior to the album debut of November 8, 1971.
