What are your thoughts on these two drummers? Which one is better? Im positive its an eazy choice, john bonham wins by miles. He is only known for Moby Dick, but he has the best bass drum control of any drummer ever? He is faster and more creative i think. And his style is so unique that noone can ever copy. This is completely without bias, its just the truth. |

who the hell is bonham? |

John Bonham from led zeppelin.. my god. |
| thePresence 03.09.2005 16:21 |
my personal opinion, you cannot compare the two. each have their own unique thing about them. |

thePresence wrote: my personal opinion, you cannot compare the two. each have their own unique thing about them.I can. I respect what Bonham did...but I am NOT a fan and think he spent more time showboating and bashing the skins rather than serving the song and elevating the song and the rest of the band...which Roger DOES do. I think Roger Taylor is incredibly underrated and one of the greats as drummers and percussionists go. He ALWAYS serves the song and the band as a whole. Roger for me. |
| JDL2nd 03.09.2005 17:26 |
I think Taylor and Bonham were the best drummers of the seventies. They were really great and powerfull. The great and difficult thing in technique of Taylor is his accent with his hi-hat when he is hitting the snare. Bonham has a great bassdrum technique. So : they were both great |
| muttley15 03.09.2005 17:55 |
in the 80s and 90s Roger wins hands down!!! Seriously, both are fantastic drummers. However, I've never seen Bonham sing whilst hitting the skins during a classic such as 'I'm in love with my car'.......so for me its RMT! |

Hmmmmmmmm they are both totaly imense in different ways, because if you listen to moby dick its so melodic and well controled, especially as he can use both of his feet so well no matter what his hands are doing. Although roger taylor is far more of a melodic player all round because he doesnt put fills in at pretty much every oppertunitie, and when he does its controled and kool! So i cant decide i think they are both wicked- bo! |
| Oszmercury 03.09.2005 20:46 |
Ok, first, there's a lot of music apart of queen outthere, now, BONZO is the man, he was a fast, inventive and versatil drummer, zeppelin after his death split, so, that tell you a lot about mr bonham. Taylor in my opinion is a good drummer, very efficient and very smoth, he knows how to rock, but this is my point of view. OSZTOP BONHAM (ZEPPELIN) KEITH MOON (THE WHO) and the rest! |
| Gordie Howe 03.09.2005 22:25 |
Bonham was fast and had fast feet. But he beat the hell out of his set. Roger on the other hand has great timing and hes pretty fast him self, but whenever he does a fill in a few songs, it sounds like he overshoots the fill a little and loses tempo with the song. |
| Boy Thomas Raker 03.09.2005 23:46 |
Both Brian and Roger have said that Bonham is "the bible." Different style, both great, and perfect for their respecive bands. Keith Moon was amazing also. |

Roger is a great drummer, but he is nowhere near the abilities of the one and only John Bonham. muttley15 wrote: in the 80s and 90s Roger wins hands down!!!Well, no shit - Bonham died in 1980. |

Well could Bonham sing as high as Taylor? I think not. This is such a obvious answer... and you know what the response will be. You are on a Queen message board. Its gonna be Taylor. Go to a Zepplin Message board if you want Bonham to win. Bonham kicked ass, but Taylor wins by a country mile. |
| osmun 04.09.2005 02:49 |
then why has bonham gotten the most yes votes? Its not a singing match, so i dont care how high he can sing. |
| poltergeist 04.09.2005 05:23 |
Bonham is clearly ahead. He's in the top of the "best of" cathegory. Roger, on the other hand, is not. |
| claudiox 04.09.2005 05:55 |
I'm in accord with Arlene R. Weiss and The hero in the facts that RT serves much more the band and I love the rithmic way RT rocks and the hi-hat-accent "tip". Roger had a great capability with his voice, and is a lso a good music and lirycs compositor, while Bonham had not. On the other hand Roger has a kind of disgust in inventing "just-in-time" the beat. Onestly I loved and will always love Queen sound so I keep near to me RT sound, but Bonham is universally considered the most estimated drummer of all the time. I love Queen ! Queen still rocks with their music ! LedZep (with all the respects) NOT ! Just a few little words about a thing: To me it seems that Queen songs had no time at all.... Like wine their songs acquire something special in time. It's like they wrote them "before their time". I don't know if you agree. seeya Claudio |

yeh i do listen to more than Queen, i just dont hear teh otehr band members names spring up as nearly as much as Queens, someone mentions Queen around here and you hear all the bands names, any other band u only hear 1 name which tends to be the lead singer. e.g. U2-most people just say Bono, although i know Bono and The Edge etc etc |
| Bob The Shrek 04.09.2005 06:17 |
For technique and talent, John Bonham by a country mile. When comparing drummers, mentioning RT's vocals is about as relevant as saying he was better looking too. And I stil reckon Neil Peart of Rush is better than the rest. |
| DrumBrother 04.09.2005 09:00 |
Jeff Porcaro (RIP) of Toto is my personal favourite. Jeff not only played with Toto but was probably the most sought after session drummer of all time. This meant he played with hundreds of other artists with lots of different styles. From Madonna, Steely Dan & Springsteen to Clapton, Elton & Frampton (to name but a few) Jeff stamped his wonderful style on their music. As a drummer myself he is my absolute hero, Check him out. Also lets not forget Ian Paice (Deep Purple), Cozy Powell & Ginger Baker (Cream). Roger is a wonderful drummer but is he better than Bonham????? I'm not so sure. Even Roger thinks Bonham was the best. |

This question is not an opinion matter! It is what it is: Taylor Vs Bonham I only accept Taylor if you've fallen asleep during a Zeppelin concert. The question is not who's your favourite player, is who's the best! And you can argue with every arguments on your book, but never, I mean never, you can say that Taylor was a better drumer than Bonham. It is what it is. Of course they were both perfect for their bands, try change Taylor for Zeppelin or Bonham for Queen and probably we wouldn't be here today talking about these two wonderfull bands. The same thing goes with Brian May. He's my favourite guitar player but is it fair to say he's the best?- No. And you can talk about feeling, harmonization, etc, Still doesn't make him as the best player, only your favourite one. You have Steve Vai, Holdsworth, Van Halen, etc. As a band Queen remain unmatchable in songwriting and performing (this is a question of my personal taste because you have the Beatles, etc). This is not the olympics and they're not competing with each other, but lets be honest here. Take care |

Exactly, I don't know why most people say things like "Roger was the best drummer because he sang and composed". It's, as somebody else pointed out, as ridiculous as saying that he's the best because of his looks. If we're comparing Roger and Bonzo as drummers, what matters is how well they drum, it doesn't matter who composed, produced, sang or played the guitar better. And, as far as that's concerned, John Bonham wins by light years. Having said that, perhaps Roger is a slightly better integral musician (in that case we do count that Bonzo never wrote a song like Days Of Our Lives and never performed an entire choir by himself like Mr Taylor in I Wanna Testify). Btw, Roger didn't only sing high, he could sing fairly low as well. His abilities went way beyond the screaming. |

So does that make me one of the greatest guitarists of all time? Never. Page receives that kind of recognition because he was in one of the most successful and most influential rock bands of all time. There are thousands of bass players within the worlds of rock, progressive rock, and jazz who can play circles around Page. Once you really look at who else is out there, you'll come to see he wasn't that great of a player. Page's strongest points were his creativity and orchestration. lmj wrote: I think we have to mention Neil Peart from Rush. What do you think about him?Simply put, Neil Peart is a technical master of the drums, and for that alone he will be forever recognized as one of rock's foremost drummers. Nobody can construct a drum solo like Peart, and nobody else has shown such ability to make a song attain its maximum quality by adding just the right percussion bits in the right places. However, what he lacks is spontaneity. Every Rush concert on a tour is the exact same thing. That's my only criticism for that band. Well, that, and the fact that they use backing tracks, but that's another topic! But they're still amazing to see live, if you're seeing them once or twice on a tour. |

You always wanna say Roger but in reality he isn't. And he'd admit it. Bonham is just amazing. But your right, I don't think any other drummer I've ever seen can sing as well as Roger whilst drumming a fast rock song. |
| RainMustFall2 04.09.2005 23:15 |
As with almost any skill, you reach a certain point where you can't really say in cold fact who is better than the other. It comes down to personal taste, and in this case, songwriting. You could be an insane guitar player, but if the song you wrote is Mary Had A Little Lamb... etc. |

Soooo tough... to be honest...Bonham had a more consistent style....and he had a fantastic drum sound....I like a really heavy hit you in the chest drum sound and he had it.......if Roger didn't keep changing his drum sounds and going a bit techno....he'd have a real shot at this...sometimes he got a fantastic drum sound for example White Man (one of the best drum sounds ever put on record)...sometimes they sounded just weak...like in Hot Space...when talking about great drummers I think you've always got to add Cozy Powell and Neal Peart in there as well....Eric Singer is quite good as well (and to think Brian has played with three of the best....)

John Bonham had this amazing skill that many classic rock junkies would label as one of the best. And to label him as one of the best drummers is nothing short of the truth, for he truly was a great one. However, I feel that Roger was and probably still is an awesome drummer that was overlooked and underrated during his time with Queen. So to put a long story short...I don't know. ;) Cheers |

Here's an excerpt from an interview with Roger in 1984 from Modern Drummer magazine in which he talks about Bonham: RS: At the time, what drummers inspired you? Who were you listening to? RT: I always liked John Bonham, although in England he wasn't that fashionable. But to me, he was the best rock drummer who ever lived. I'm sure lots of people tell you that when you interview them. RS: More people say Bonham that any other drummer. RT: Well, it's true. There's no-one able to touch him in the rock world. He was the innovator of a particular drum style. He had the best drum sound, and he was the fastest player. Simply stated, he was the best. Although he wasn't the easiest person to get on with, his influence was great. He'd do things with one bass pedal that other drummers couldn't do with three. He was also the most powerful drummer I'd ever seen. Led Zeppelin was actually more popular in America than they were in England, you know. You had to be a drummer to realise how good John Bonham actually was. The average person on the street couldn't really know the difference between John Bonham and the next flashy heavy metal merchant or whatever. RS: Why is that? RT: The average person can't understand the subtleties of drumming or just how difficult some of the things he used to do were. RS: At the time, how much of an influence did he have on you and your drum style? RT: A lot. I think there are a bunch of drummers in bands today who are nothing but poor Bonham copies. There are so many, and have nothing of their own style. It's just John Bonham's style, but unfortunately they can't come close to his sound. RS: How do drummers make sure that, when they're heavily influenced by other drummers, they don't wind up as merely imitators? RT: Well, that's up to individual, really. You have to develop your own style. If you're any good, you'll realise which bits work best for you. And I suppose the thing to do is develop them. RS: What did you do to prevent becoming a John Bonham copy? RT: Well, I didn't want to sound like him because I knew there was no point in sounding like someone else even back then in those days. This is true no matter how much you admire what they do. So I just tried to incorporate certain aspects of his style into my own. RS: Anything in particular? RT: Well, obviously the bass drum. I mean, he invented the whole school of playing the bass drum in a heavy manner. I learned so much just by listening to the first couple of Led Zeppelin albums. |

| on my way up 10.09.2005 07:33 |
Bonham is really incredible.I watched my dvd from zeppelin and really:to me he is the most important figure in that group.He and jones are really a very strong core for that group.He is really unique.Zeppelin couldn't continue without him.That says enough.Other bands would just replace their drummer,with him it was impossible.He was fast,powerfull,...I'm a much bigger fan of queen than I am of zeppelin but I must say that bonham is one of the most talented people ever in rockmusic.It's unfair to compare roger taylor to him because roger is very different and not so a virtuoso like bonham.He'll admit this himself.(like he does in that interview.)He is also unique though.That is very important.He has a typical way of playing (also with his great backing vocals)and also great energie. Roger also has great charisma(bonham too).Being a fan doesn't mean you can't be critical.I also want to give others credits for their talents.And at the end everything is down to taste.If you don't like their compositions you will prefer others how good their technique may be. |

As a drummer, I enjoy reading these kinda topics. But sometimes I get the feeling people are too afraid to say something bad about a Queen member, or say someone is better. Roger will for me will always be my favourite drummer and the main reason why I drum, but Bonham is arguably the greatest drummer ever. I'm not a huge Zeppelin fan by any stretch of the imagination, but you don't have to be to hear his class. Although, all everyone seems to do is talk about old drummers like Bonham, Moon, Peart, Baker, Copeland etc, but what about drummers nowadays? With the exception of Dave Grohl who is obviously one of the best modern day drummers, some of my favourites are Taylor Hawkins, who reminds me alot of Rog in his style and look, and as much as I really am not into them, Joey Jordison from Slipknot is class (I'd love to see him play something other than the same old-same old speed crap), then there's even Maroon 5's drummer Ryan Dusick who is actually a really tight drummer. But my personal favourite at the moment has to be John Otto - a classicly trained jazz drummer playing heavy rock, he is simply class, his beats are just... I dunno, I love em. |

I've just bought the new Mojo, it's got a great Bonham feature, interviews with Robert The Plant, a Page of Jimmy and Pope John Paul Jones, as well as Dave Grohl. Some good stuff. Really interesting to read about how he got into using his hands and how he learned, what got him into drumming etc etc Thinking of drummers, the dude from Muse, Dom Howard, he's a solid little drummer too. I tell you what, she may not be the greatest or most flambuoyant drummer in the history of time, but I love Meg Whites sound. No matter how hard I try, Ball & Biscuit with my band never sounds anything deep and dark as the actual version. |
