John Bonham was a foundation point of many Zep songs. This clip breaks down his genius in the dissection of rhythm counts, 3s, 4's 8s and 12s. Pure creativity.

While each member of the band was truly amazing, the whole was greater than the sum of the parts.
Truly a gifted drummer, one of the best ever.
My favorite drummer is the legendary Carmine Appice (who Bonham admired and said was a big influence on him). In fact Led Zep opened for Vanilla Fudge back before they hit it really big.
Listen to these clips of Carmine Appice drumming and the similarities are pretty striking imho:

Carmine is also a favorite of mine. I got to see Vanilla Fudge and BBA back in the day. The Fudge show was a bit loose, probably booze in the dressing room. Beck, Bogert and Appice was flat out amazing. Makes me think of the lyrics to Mudshark. Put the red snapper in the red snapper!
