Jimmy Page on "The John Bonham Story"

Dave Grohl(of Nirvana/Foo Fighters) will be presenting a radio special on his favorite drummer of all time, John Bonham.

"The John Bonham Story", narrated by Dave Grohl, will air 3 p.m. (BST) on Monday, May 31, on BBC 6 Music. This program takes the listener through Bonham's extraordinary life, to his legendary playing with Zeppelin to his tragic and untimely death. Not only does Grohl offer rock star profile, but he also brings a real and deep understanding of the subject, both as a fellow drummer and a Zeppelin fan, and enormous musical credibility amongst his peers and his audience.

Here's what Jimmy Page said about Bonham, on a show for promotion:

Jimmy Page wrote:

John Bonham was an extraordinary, extraordinary musician who had this incredible technique that was head and shoulders over anyone around him when he was still in his teens — absolutely phenomenal. He kept finessing his technique and his vision of the drums. He had a definite vision of the drums, and how they should be played, and how they would fit in with a band, and also how they would be soloed — in his solos. It's without doubt that his technique was, as I say, beyond everybody else's, and that's why he's so looked to — and looked back to — with such reverence and love, really, because he was so extraordinary.
