One other thing I forgot.Bonham would and could often change the flow of the song just by choosing different rhythmic patterns combined with texture and tempo while the band was improvising.This is something that would be played off between him and Page and with Jones laying down some incredible lines right off the cuff.Unfortunately,this is really only realized on live recordings and not on the studio cuts.
You don't have to tell me I'm biased,I know I am.But I have yet to hear a drummer that can dictate the flow of a song as well as Bonham could,that being in a rock context anyway.And in terms of being subtle,again he was one of the best,considering his reputation as a banger.But then again,I'm biased and because I 've listened to dozens and dozens of bootlegs spanning Zeps career.
