"Four Sticks" is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin from their untitled fourth album. The title reflects drummer John Bonham's performance with two sets of two drumsticks, 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.
Only one live performance has been identified – in Copenhagen on their 1971 European tour – and preserved on some bootleg recordings.[3]
