I also don't think that Bonhma was a bad drummer.
Yes, but you did say he's not good...
I consider both Keith Moon and Bonham to be drumming gods. There's room for more than one.
Neat link, but I think the author is losing the forest in the trees. Paralyzing analysis that leaves you wondering if he's talking about art or science. Music's still an art, no matter how much you analyze it.
I do agree with his conclusion statement, though:
"John Bonham was the major contributor to the development of the drum sound of Heavy Rock and is the most influential drummer in Rock Music, at least in the ‘70’s and into the ‘80’s."
How can one possibly get an accolade like that from a *detractor* and not be considered good?
