Sometimes it's difficult to hear subtilties in really heavy music, like Zeppelin. But, that's exactly what makes Bohnam's drumming great. In addition to playing huge pounding beats, he had really nice quite subtle embellishments. The types you would normally expect in soul music. And he played both at the same time! I haven't really heard many drummers duplicate this. So, ignore the "in your face" gimmicks of the Moby Dick drum solo, and listen to what he did in D'yer M'aker, or the Kashmir.

Next to Bohnam, my favorite kit drummer would be Manu Katche (Sting, Peter Gabriel, etc). Very melodic drummer.
