Will Perrone i am a drummer and this still blows me away. The things he was able to do is unreal. And he didn't use a big setup like today when people are pretty much surrounded by drums and cymbals, and he had no double bass pedal. Just talent, the man is unreal on the drums.

so i am neither a drummer nor a musician at all but a passionate listener. i lately got really into drums and great drummers and their impact on songs but i dont like solos like this one. so pearl, rich, bonham etc all their solos just sound like how to hit a lot of drums really fast. their techniques may be really impressive and all the theoretical stuff behind it but it does not change the sound. it sounds more like a demonstration of skill than music. here is the only drum solo that i found until now, that is really impressive and feels like music kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z5WTuriGZ6-tns4.html

While it is certainly a category he could be worthy for, "best drummer alive" is so subjective it hurts to think about. But I will agree with the title of "one of the best in the world". That at least opens the door and allows room for other drummers who are just not even human.

Smoothest drummer for sure. Always enjoyed his drumming.

My son said he wanted to play the drums, so my first thought was “show him who John Bohnam is” we watched this and his mouth was dropped open the whole time.

I love playing the drums. Both Neil and Bonham are the reason I love to bash away on the drums. Those two are my heroes when it comes to the drums. Can’t help but get a touch bit emotional when I play a Zeppelin song on the drums.

JOHN BONHAM the benchmark for rock drumming !

The best thing about this guy, jpj and jimmy also, is the older you get the more you can appreciate them. After drumming for 30 years, (and still sucking) i have gradually understand a little of the purity, poise, restraint, power and gift bonzo had. Not just the greatest drummer, but so good infact he makes all other look like bufoons. Wish i could thank him personally for countless hours of sheer joy he has given me. I've laughed, cried, stood and screamed, ran thru the house kungfu kicking mid air, curled into foetal position, howled like a wild wolf....... No other musician can do that. Just him. If anyone ever asks why led zep is the greatest band in history, dont answer. Just think of bonzo while you punch them in the face. We know!

I was able to meet John who gave me the best compliment I ever received. He said "You have more class and color than any drummer I've seen in the States." I'm not exactly sure of what he meant by that. But I took it as a big compliment. He was the greatest rock drummer who ever lived!

Just pure, raw talent, and complete focus on creativity and each individual. In an interview with Jimmy, he stated that when people listen to led zeppelin, he wanted them to be able to zone in on one thing or another, and then as a whole. Meaning, you can very clearly hear Robert. But also the guitar. And the drums. They are all clear. They're all phenomenal. Another band even comparative to this talent has yet to be created. (Still so many amazing artists) but man, led zeppelin really must have sold their souls for this talent.
