Likewise. If you hadn’t grabbed a femme by that song, you were out! .... and don’t forget the Hi Ho Bristol City which, even in the 70’s, showed at the very worst a 50:50 split in North Bristol venues. Just a pity that the bloke who choose the ‘anthem’ for the Stoke City Paint Pot final appears also to be a Tiffany’s fan given the choice of music for that final.

I think non-drummers choose him but as a drummer myself there are/were far better than him. Mind you Keith would be up there as a brilliant drummer who can hold a beat whilst drunk.

Certainly his style was different to the polite pitter-patter that used to accompany most bands before he rose to prominence. I think he is said to have been credited with inventing having two bass drums in a kit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly was high profile and I am struggling to think of someone from the early era of electric bands that 'pioneered' his technique. I'm not a great Led Zep fan but Bonham was in a different higher league to Moon....in my opinion! If drummers then could have done even part of a Buddy Rich drum solo then I'd be impressed. Worth checking out the Buddy Rich black and white tv solo on the Jerry Lewis Show (he of Dean Martin fame)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, discussion of great drummers tends to focus on big rock bands but jazz has many greats too of course. And the late Frank Zappa employed a succession of great drummers people have never heard of.

weepywall Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 I was at John Bonhams last gig at Knebworth, think he died shortly after that, another memory of that gig was that I had my jacket nicked, I managed to find it later minus my cash but they left my train ticket, thieves had a lot more respect in those days.

Rock drummer perhaps, though I favour Charlie Watts - especially on Gimme Shelter. He's equally at home playing jazz too. Mind you, Bonham's playing on In My Time of Dying is just magnificent.
