Bonhams tuning NEVER changed. The Ludwig 3-ply clear maple shells with reinforcing rings were the best shells Ludwig ever produced, if not the greatest shells that anybody made. The green sparkle wrapped studio kit was the best sounding kit he played-hence thats why it was the kit every album from LZ II until the end was used in the studio.
I feel like Bonzo didn't care how the drums sounded, he mostly followed the guitar parts and played what the song needed. He was a genius at reading what that was. So wildly unorthodox and utterly perfect. He was never flashy for his own sake (well, he saved that for Moby Dick). And then, over there in the corner, is "The Secret Weapon" J.P.J., but that's another story altogether.
I’m curious is this the first creative process of him drumming through the song or has Jimmy already given him riffs to emulate over and my guess it would be the latter because I’m hearing a little bit of Jimmy’s riffs in the background? it’s either that or I’m imagining them in my head? ❤
What you’re hearing could be the person just isolating the drums. Anything else isn’t supposed to be heard, it’s just still slipping into the audio. I’ve actually heard a lot of times some Led Zeppelin songs were built around Bonhams beats
The beat within the beat within the beat. Bonham was the best.

When he was sober, he Bonham was a great drummer. Too bad he didn’t get he help he needed in time. RIP
Bonham's feet were a super natural force.
Simply amazing drumming. That sounds like something that no human could play those combinations and changes and stay on time
Amazing sound, John was a true beast! Pics are great too, I especially like 4:38, JPJ smiling
Sounds like the wind. A real force of nature
Glorious Drumming
Número 1 drummer perfección 👌

This is an AI isolated track
Does anyone know if Bonham is playing to a click?
100% no click
No way. A click track would ruin his swinging grove.
He is a Click😮
