Can anyone name a better drum solo? Just watched it again and, holy shit, John Bonham must have loved the colombian marching powder!

Bonham was a great drummer. R.I.P. Bonzo

My 3 favorite rock drummers were Bonham, Keith Moon and Ginger Baker. Favorite big band/Jazz drummer was Buddy Rich.

Fergie if your a Zeppelin fan you might be interested in the remastered releases of both Led Zeppelin IV and Houses of the Holy this Oct 26 or 28th. They'll also include a few alternative takes of several songs from both including an alternative studio take of Stairway.

The only two that comes close are Keith Moon as mentioned above in the Who, My Generation, and Neil Peart of Rush, in YYZ. Bonham did the best solo in my opinion.

Love led zeppelin have for many years and Moby dick is a classic.

I remember reading a story about John Bonham being with his son Jason before a Zeppelin gig. Jason must have been about 10-12 years old at the time. John watched the band rehearse and Jason sat in on the drumset. I want to say it was on "Trampled Underfoot" but that may be wrong. Anyway, Bonham remarked at the ferocity of the Zeppelin sound and how he never truly noticed it until he watched it from afar.

The 20+ minute drum solo was definitely a late 60s/70s thing. While Mobd Dick was Bonzo's highlight, I always loved his drumming on "The Song Remains the Same," "Rock-n-Roll" and "Achilles Last Stand."

I have loved Led Zeppelin since I discovered their blues-based hard rock music in 1969, at the age of 14.

Now, after John Bonham's death, I have acquired a new appreciation of the drummer, as the driving force behind Led Zeppelin.

I could even say, that now, I believe that John Henry Bonham was the Heart & Soul of Led Zeppelin.

Form time to time, on the internet, I have come across studio outtakes from Led Zeppelin sessions, that feature the drumming of John Bonham on a track. I listen to those and savor every wonderful lick by the best Rock'n'Roll drummer, imo, that the world has ever known.

I've read descriptions that Bonham hit the drums so hard, yet was also know for his delicacy on the quieter numbers.

A serious argument could be made that all 4 members of Led Zeppelin were an all-star cast of musicians in one band. Jimmy Page was an A-list studio guitarist and J.P. Jones was a respected session musician prior to LZ. Throw in the youth and relative obscurity of Bonham and Robert Plant prior to their stints in Zeppelin.
