If Bonham was sloppy, what would that make Jimmy Paige? Really sloppy? My point being, sometimes it just works. It's rock and roll, not the philharmonic.

Mmm... Saturns.
I always thought he sounded very in control and there was a real intense feel behind his playing that I admired. It's said he can play busy and simple equally well, which from what I can tell is a very in demand skill among drummers. A lot of the guys who are great at busy stuff just can't stay with a simple groove, and vice versa. Someone with both talents is worthy of the reputation they earn with them.

I think John Bonham was a great drummer no matter what anyone says about him he is a legend. He made the Ludwigs drums popular.

john bonham is a drummers drummer, im still influenced by his playing to this very day. ive tried to emulate him, more than any other drummer on planet earth, he was such a fat sound to be reckoned with, im thankful for teachers like john...
he may not be your cup of tea, but, if you turn him up loud enough, he'll vibrate your teacup off the table, onto the floor
rip jb
if you ask a drummer what time it is?!? they're likely to respond with a time signature "oh, it's 4/4"....
I'm with Rick, but then I've favored Baker over Bonham...
Ginger Baker, played with a lil group called Cream, had some guy named Clapton in the band also. gee what ever happened to those guys??
on a serious note i caught Cream playing live the other day.
Baker still has the chops
Oh, I'm old!

Don't want to hijack this thread, but yes, Ginger Baker.
Ok, back to Bonham....
I was never a big Baker fan. Nothing to do with him as a player. Just never really liked Cream's music in general.
