    I was talking about that intro last night whith a friend, today while driving it dawned on me that it's just the Chuck Barry intro.
    Looked for it on you tube and found this excellent video. Brilliant

    I never understood this until I discovered several videos on UA-cam explaining this. If you are thinking of it as a standard four measure intro in 4/4 time, you would expect to count 16 beats. But, as you explain, you actually end up with extra beats (17.5). Many books have this drum part written out incorrectly.

    Awesome teaching. I’m super amazed that Bonham paid this kind of tribute to Berry in a song. It’s obvious to me that is what happened. I’ve been jamming to Zep for 47 years as a drummer and NEVER FIGURED IT OUT TILL THIS VIDEO.

      Oh my God I have been playing drums for about 45 years dears and I'm pretty good but I've always been battled by that entry.
      After your explanation I finally got it.
      If as far as that song goes I feel like the weight of the world has finally been lifted off of my shoulders.😂
      Thank you so much that was a great explanation I'll never forget it now.

      Great video. Bonham was most likely playing homage to Little Richard's version of "Keep A Knockin" which came out a year before Chuck Berry's "Johnny B Goode."

    Clever, indeed!
    However… The original still feels a bit off, I mean the beats between 4,7"-5,4" feel odd.
    So… What I did to make sense out of this whole intro is I dared editing out the final 4 out of 5 snare beats in 5,6"-6'2". Then, I count the whole thing from 2 out of 8 beats in 8/4, as if the the bass kick on 1 was missing. This way, the intro is just 4 strait bars, 8 beats each, with the introductory 1/8th missing. Great fun - and it ties up with Chris' counting of Chuck Berry's intro as Chuck starts his lick with three additional beats b4 it goes to bar 1, while I remove 4 beats (well, from the other end), compensating it by losing 1 beat at the beginning, so the math agrees on both approaches (4-1=3).
    Check it out, it does work smoothly!
    On a general note, Leds made similar tricks like that on a good couple of their songs; even Stairway has that confusing thing, too. :-)

    You can count it off that way but it is so much easier just to play the first three rhythms the same and then bounce the forth one and then your off... It's just a matter of feeling it. Don't complicate it.
