  1. Apparently recently Jason Bonham has said that his (Bonzo's) 1st Zepp kit) was a blue sparkle Slingerland 22 13 16 with Ludwig LM400 Supraphonic snare drum 14x5",

    Rogers swivomatic cymbals stands&possibly hi-hat stand&snare stand?,

    Ludwig Speed King pedal?.

    I hope it has some substance, especially regarding Bonzo's musical interests, and isn't heavily relying on sordid road tales. The title isn't promising in that regard.  Apparently the publisher is calling it the first biography of John Bonham....Hachette books either isn't aware of, or ignored Thunder of Drums. 😒

    Sadly after reading it it doesn't .....

  3. I've at last finally ended/finished reading "The Beast".IMHO/IMHO (honest&humble opinion) waste of $

    Just rehashed stories covered by both Chris Welch&Mick Bonham .In both of these aforementioned books NO WHERE was it EVER commented mentioned Bonzo was a drug addict (cocaine) . There's alot of of lies misconception misinformation,

    Untruths in that book, 📚

    Only good for wiping your arse if you run out of bog borrie crapper jobbie log plop plops 📜....... sigh 😥😔.

    Time for a Dave Grohl thread? 

    Anyway, I am hopeful that someday Bonzo's family, i.e. Pat, Deb, Jason , will be willing to talk about him. Especially Jason, regarding his dad's gear, even if it's just for a Drum nerd magazine. I know there are people who would love to conduct some interviews, but Jason seems a bit cagey and protective of his dad's legacy, which is understandable. Still I think it would be of immense value to the legions of fans, drummers especially, since Bonzo is arguably the most famous and influential drummer in Rock, (maybe ever).  Like recollections of the music he liked, his influences, his gear, (what happened to all that gear?).  I find it odd that Jason has never played one of his dad's kits publicly (that I know of), or even showcased it in a video... or even just a snare. Fans would go nuts over seeing his kids played by Jason. Maybe he views that as sacrilege. 🤔

    Apparently his green sparkle Ludwig kit (one of them) is owned by both Pat Bonham &Jimmy Page,

    Plant apparently cowbw his green sparkle Slingerland kit,

    Pat&Zoe own his cymbals.
