“ Rock n Roll uses the banging drum beat of Little Richard’s Keep A Knockin’”

Similar, but the Zep drummer (John Bonham) Played it on the 8th note upbeat, which is an entirely different beast to play. If you are willing to take a little time to understand what an incredible drummer he was watch this:

Guitarist Jimmy Page explained that the song developed from a spontaneous jam session, while the band were trying (and failing) to finish the track “Four Sticks”, at the Headley Grange mansion they had rented in Hampshire, England to record the track.[6][7] John Bonham began by playing the drum introduction from the Little Richard song “Keep A-Knockin’” to which Page added a Chuck Berry-style guitar riff.[8][9] The tapes were rolling and fifteen minutes later the basis of the song was completed.[10]
