As good a drummer as Portnoy is, he's no John Bonham, and this clearly shows. This solo lacks Bonzo's sound, power, groove, his bass drum effect, etc. I'm not calling either drummer better than the other, I'm just saying that this solo is a poor imitation and nothing like anything Bonzo would've played. If you're going to do a tribute to another drummer's solo, the least you should do is play it like them.

Very poor job at Moby Dick. I can play it better than this guy. You are totally missing the offbeat 5 stroke rolls and double-para-diddles. Maybe taking a few lessons would help you out. Just a bit of constructive criticism :-)

meh,like his other stuff this is why you can't have too much discipline and technique on covering bonzo..i guess it's not apparent to him.but still better than most of these cover bands on here..I always thought Billy Squier's drummer in the 80s was a real mirror image of Bonzo's sound and FEEL...

there's only one BONZO.

The Hats keep changing velocity! Bonham keeps them constant.
