Del Nileppez Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Ever since his death I`ve never heard any other drummer that sounds remotely like him. The only one that comes close for me would be the drummer that was in White Zombie. Does anybody agree or know of a drummer that sounds like "Bonzo"?

Fronzo Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Abe Laboriel Junior is a Bonzo(ish) drummer! http://www.drummerworld.com/Videos/abelaboriel.html And being a Bonham fan / impersonator myself I do my best! www.myspace.com/fronzodrums The video clips on my page are no longer available as Youtube decided to delete my account! I'll upload them elsewhere! Fronzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxjim Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I hear snatches of Bonzo in others from time to time. Lotta good drummers out there but it's unfair to compare them with someone with such a unique style. Like all great musician there's a quality there that can be imitated but not duplicated. I just hope he fits in with his new band where ever he's at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockthing Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 When I saw this topic title as I listened to Kashmir I thought, "The Greatest Drummer of All Time" "Bonzo=Zeppelin" Bonzo's influence is far reaching, but He was a one in a million. No one else is like him The best natural drummer to ever be recorded. He was also very fortunate to have Jimmy Page as his producer and of course Jimmy was lucky as hell to play with Bonzo, (and he knows it) Thank heavens for Terry Reid's binding contract!

The Pagemeister Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 The only one that could come close to sounding like John Bonham was Tony Thompson. He was probably the best drummer of the 80's. He's passed on as well. Best known as the drummer for Chic and The Power Station, he also did the drumming on David Bowie's Let's Dance and did the Zeppelin set at Live Aid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
