One more thing I forgot.Bonham, with a very limited Ludwig kit, came up with the most creative and unique phrasings using what he had to work with.Of course someone like Neil Peart,who also is a great drummer,can sound way more technically proficient but then again, how many pieces is his drumset? 25,35 pieces?
Don't forget,Bonham had a bass drum,a snare,one mounted tom and two floor toms and cymbals.That's it.(not counting the tympani)
bullgoose mentioned Keith Moon.Moon the Loon was great too and also had a small kit.
I remember seeing Motley Crue years ago and the review in the paper the next day said something like Tommy Lee is the next wave of drummers to replace people like Bonham.I laughed out loud.Must have been Tommy's triplets on his double bass drums that Bonham did with one bass drum.
