10 Greatest Drummers Of All Time

By Christopher Jennings /

1. John Bonham

Stand Out Track: Pick anything from Zeppelin€™s first four albums, you can€™t really go wrong. A giant behind the kit, John Bonham rose to prominence even when surrounded by a talismanic guitarist and the greatest front man in rock (sorry JPJ, but at least you still got a mention).

His immense bass drum sound remains astounding, achieved with one foot incidentally and puts today€™s two footed players to shame. Imbued with colossal groove and power, Bonham is quite rightly revered as the greatest drummer of all time and who am I to argue? Mr Bonham, we salute you. Like this article? Who have we missed?
