He was hardly the best ever. His idle was Buddy Rich and Buddy smoked this guy at ever aspect of the drums. So did many others of his era. Like Billy Cobham and Tony Williams. Rock Drumming is so second tier compared to jazz and jazz fusion. You tube is there to prove this point just search and watch.
Best drummer ever because he felt the music flow through him. John Bonham attacked the drum like a hurricane that just raped a typhoon. Thunder roared beneath his feet and played with a furious passion no other drummer can touch. R.I.P John Henry Bonham
« Il Rock è morto il giorno in cui è morto John Bonham » (Billy Joel) « Ragazzo, il tuo piede destro è più veloce di quello di un coniglio! » (Jimi Hendrix) « John Bonham... non ne trovi un altro come lui. » (Charlie Watts (The Rolling Stones))
The drummer in this vid is actually playing with more speed, crispness, chops, and advanced level than Bonham ever did. How ironic that it's a tribute to Bonham, it surpasses him. No offense intended.
well done sarasacha, excellent vid backed up with excellent solo. There aren't many that could pull this off, but you do in very admirable fashion. Great sound from kit. extreme similarity to bonhams bass drum sound. great triplets!!
Thanks for your comment... The audio soundtrack is me,Russel Labadie playing with Zep tribute band... Michael White & The White... I married the audio to my beloved gathering of John Henry Bonham pictures... The drums i used at that concert in Burlington,Ontario,Canada back in 1991 were genuine 1973 Ludwig drums, same year as Bonham's but not same serial numbers. I carried 2 tympanis and a 28in Paiste gong, that's why it kinda sound the same...
Go to IAN PAICE DRUM SOLO MACHINEHEAD LIVE 1972. If your interested in drummers and you're not familiar with this guy, you're doing yourself an injustice. Check it out.
i was so confused when i bought the movie, the introductory scene was like the mafia, then it turned to Robert Plant, and his wife and kids, but the concert great.
r u serious. his solo is completely just random, theres no way, wards is better than bonhams, bonham uses so much more in his work and makes fuckin masterpieces. in wards solo, hes mostly just fuckin banging on the snare like a goon. bonham puts ward to shame, and dont think anything different, fool
RIP Bonzo one of the greatest and a pioneer of the groove !!!
but seriously ,as great a drummer as he was there are/were many other drummers at Bonham's level or greater. To say hes the greatest ever is your opinion.

SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY Cuz IT ACTUALLY WORKS THIS reaLLY WORKS!!!!!
I remmeber that day! I was doing my paperoute and my best friend came running up to tell me the horrible news. We wrote Bonham is dead on several copies of the Vancouver sun!I was thirteen years old! I now play the drums!!!!!!!!!!!!
Show the damn guy drumming! Who cares about dumbass Bonham? Just kidding guys. But this really would have been better had they shown the guy drumming.
nobody can play like bonham! and nobody will ever be bonham!!!! and nobody will ever be page or plant or jones or none of em! they rock nobody is as good or better
agreed totally! john is in his league of his own and page is up there with the best of him. Also jones, well try to play the lemon song or achillies last stand! And Plant is just cool and plays awesome harmonica.
As a drummer,and huge LED Fan, I agree that JB is the best. But I'll go further, Bonham raised the bar soo high that when we see someone even come close ,we are in awe!!!
Nobody hit the drums harder than John Henry Bonham! He had a natural gift, I'm pissed off at this motherfucker for dieing! Anyways, RIP Johnny, your music will last forever! Peace!
sounds good, what better artist to give a tribute to than the master of his realm, BONHAM! all other drummers jumped off his shoulders to become what they are. I admit that bonham got some inspiration from buddy rich though. pound on!
Actually Buddy Rich was quoted as stating that John Bonham was the only drummer to ever show him a thing or two. So yeah the inspiration was there, but he invented his own definition of technicality by far.
i know my dream is to walk into heaven with bonzo drumming away...best drummer there was and ever will be...bonzo changed the world of drummers...to shape it into what we know call heavy metal...R.I.P. Bonzo
