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.
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.
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

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!

errrrrr - don't think so
Keith Moon - by about 100 miles!!!!
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!

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.

BONHAM (ZEPPELIN)
KEITH MOON (THE WHO)
and the rest!

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.

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.

Totally agree. Bonham > Taylor, any day of the week, and twice on Sunday. Roger is a great drummer, but he is nowhere near the abilities of the one and only John Bonham.
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.
then why has bonham gotten the most yes votes? Its not a singing match, so i dont care how high he can sing.
