And at twelve seconds, an authoritative, effortlessly-executed drum fill plunges you into what might be rock and roll's greatest first song on a first album, ever

I'm thinking Van Halen might also have a claim to that with "Runnin' With The Devil".

Both debut albums pretty darn good, but LZ has proved to have more staying power.

I agree that Bonzo was great, but don’t forget Neil Peart or Jukka Nevalainen. As for how hard he pounded the skins, Achim Färber of the NDH band Eisbrecher gives John a good run for his title.

It’s amazing how many top notch musicians have been self-taught. Maybe instead of preparing them to play well it frees them to play extraordinarily well.

...John Bonham would power the biggest, most influential, most iconic rock band in history.

The last I heard, the drummer for the Beatles was Ringo Starr not John Bonham. (Ducking for cover.)

I'm gonna love you
each and every day...

Led Zeppelin I and I and III and IV and Houses of the Holy.... great rock-and-roll. After that ... Well, Physical Graffiti was a disappointment.

Get Chicago’s Seventh album, put on the single “Devil’s Sweet”, and then can we throw one more name into the discussion?

Of course, the inside story is that Walter Parazadier wrote that 10-minute tune to feature Danny Seraphine on drums because he was in fact, or may as well have been, the devil in the flesh, right there in all of their lives.

Eventually they would kick him out of the band - I think I heard somewhere that it was with the help of hired security dudes, but that’s never been confirmed.

Mrs. Seraphine did raise a psycho. Don’t ever doubt that he could play, though.

Just listen, and say a prayer for yourself just in case.

Yikes! If we are to commend drummers then by all means do not overlook Phil Ehart of Kansas, who at 70 is still rocking it hard, and with a new album to boot! Go check out Kansas’ new album The Absence of presence, and marvel at Phil’s fantastic drumming.

Bill Bruford...”Gradually Going Tornado”. Check out “Q.E.D” from the compilation.

Let’s not forget Keith Moon. Also self-taught, and “insanely” good.

All this reminiscing-— 35 years ago Ronnie Milsap made a cross over effort— and buddies and I were there— a who’s who of Muscle Shoals people, keyboards, guitar (think it was John Dough, so to speak), great songwriter Bill Labounty.

And the song was a flop— no country in it- but can Ronnie Milsap sing! Fond memory. The video features cameos, Marisa Hartigkay, i think the Devo guys. California (now a mental state).

Any discussion of a great rock drummer is void without mentioning Ed Cassidy that played for the group, Spirit. He played big band drums in the forties and later in the sixties played rock and roll. His drum set was unique to all.
