Just rediscovered Led Zepp II - listening to Moby **** and thought occurred to me - is there a better drummer than John Bonham? For that matter is there a better Rock band than Led Zepp?

Different era:

Jimmy Chamberlain, Ex Smashing Pumpkins, now ZWAN

Stephen Perkins, Janes Addiction, Porno for Pyros, and back to Janes Addiction.

These are two who make Bonham (who was excellent by the way) look very ordinary.

Ginger Baker is still no slouch either, did you see his solo's in the Cream re-union gigs?

Mike Portnoy...

Incidentally, he's just had John Bonham's kit as used on Led Zep II reproduced and it now forms one half of his touring rig.

(The band is 'Dream Theatre' btw)

We had this thread once before.

John Bonham.

Nobody....that's nobody... had more of an effect and influence on rock drummers that came after him, even to this day. Bonham took rock drumming and rang it's throat until it squeeked and then began to play it like the devils fiddle. The man was and will always be - the best.

John Lennon was once asked if Ringo Starr was the best drummer in the world. He replied..."Ringo isn't even the best drummer in the Beatles!!"
