3. John Bonham - Moby Dick

Moby Dick remains the standard against which all rock drum solos are measured. Bonham's influences are apparent - he took ideas from the likes of Max Roach and Joe Morello, amped up the volume and introduced them to a rock audience. Bonham played like a man possessed but he always maintained a solid groove even when attacking the drums as though they had spilt his pint just after last orders.

For an entire generation of rock and metal players, Bonzo will forever be hailed as the high priest of the drums.
