I can’t wrap my mind around this being the drums for Whole Lotta Love, but now that I listen to the song again after this, it’s crazy!

That’s what I tell my wife!Sometimes less is more
Bonham is a drumming rabbit hole on YT that is quite awesome to dive into.
Fool In The Rain, Black Dog, When The Levee Breaks...he definitely has a distinctive sound that was legendary, but he was a damn great technical drummer too.

As a very amateur drummer, I'd say that Zepplin and Cream are two of the more technically difficult bands to cover.
One of a kind. Heavy, yet with groove and a bit behind the beat. There are plenty of guys that play like machine guns today but haven't a fraction of the musical feel and groove.
Neil Peart was an amazing technician, but for all his skill he really didn't groove.

You often hear excellent musicians refer to the drum and bass section being able to "swing" - it's an old-timey term that dates back to jazz, but you can certainly feel what they're talking about here.
Exactly. It’s nearly impossible to find in current music. Like most everything, the more automated it becomes the less soul it has.
I do believe both could be termed "lead drummers", meaning the music had to have them and them alone to make the music work - lesser (or...different?) drummers, the music wouldn't have been nearly as great.
There's a reason why we don't have a Rush post-Peart and a Zeppelin post-Bonham. Just would not be the same musically. Jimi Hendrix for example - I believe his songs with anybody not named Mitch Mitchell isn't as compelling - the best Hendrix is the "Experience" Hendrix.
Peart yes, Bonham not so much. His sound and groove were certainly unique, but it didn’t take over the music like Peart or Keith Moon. As a lifelong drummer, I appreciate all those guys. Each have a unique fit with their band.
No matter how good you are at something, there's an 8 year old Japanese girl that's better
lol. These vids both inspire me and piss me off.
What are you talking about, bass foot triplets are super easy
She's like 14'ish now, already a fantastic drummer. Worth a YouTube follow if you are into drumming at all.
