John Bonham Biography |
|
Bonham's work behind the drum kit has influenced nearly every hard rock and heavy metal drummer since, and extends into nearly all styles of modern music. His signature style was a steady rhythmic beat that swung with enormous amounts of feel, explosive fills, and a unique sense of syncopation between the bass and snare drums.

He has also immortalized the bass drum triplet, as heard in "Good Times, Bad Times", and many other Led Zeppelin songs. Usually involving two tom hits and one bass drum hit, the "Bonham Triplet," as it has come to be known, is exhibited in Bonham's famous drum solo in "Moby Dick." Not only was he recognised for this hard-hitting style, but many songs showcase his enormously ranging talents with the drums; he incorporated Latin Rumba rhythms and New Orleans Funk rhythms, as well as using a huge assortment of drums and techniques. All this combined with his sheer attack made Bonham immediately recognisable. This trademark sound (the "thunder" kick of the bass drum) has become famous among fans and musicians alike and was one of the defining elements that propelled Led Zeppelin musically and commercially. To this day, Bonham is revered not only as a defining rock drummer, but as one of the most respected drummers of any genre.
Bonham's young sister, Debbie Bonham, is a singer. His younger brother, Mick Bonham (died 2000), was a disc jockey and respected photographer. Bonham's son, Jason Bonham (born 1966), also became a rock drummer, and has played in some of the concerts Led Zeppelin has done since Bonham's death. Jason Bonham is the current drummer for the rock band Foreigner, and was on the Vh1 hit show SuperGroup. Bonham's daughter, Zoe Bonham, appears regularly at Led Zeppelin conventions and awards. In 2005, they appeared at the Grammy Awards to collect their father's Lifetime Achievement Award. On May 21, 2006, Zoe Bonham appeared in a tribute concert in Stockholm, Sweden to celebrate Led Zeppelin being awarded the Swedish Polar Music Prize.
