Probably Bonham, if I had to pick between the two; however, the best drummer I ever heard in person, and on records or tapes, was Joe Morollo of the Dave Brubeck Quartet. I witnessed his work, and a half hour solo, at Shady Grove Music Fare, in Rockvale, Maryland back in 1963 in a huge tent. It rained so hard about half way through the jazz concert, that none of the instruments could be heard except Morollo's drums. So he improvised a half hour solo until the rain subsided. I watched him stop with his drumming with his right hand, for a minute or so, while he wiped his face and head with a towell because of the humidity--and the drumming never stopped! If you weren't noticing he was only using one hand, and just listening, you wouldn't have heard much difference. If you have never heard of Joe Morollo, or especially the Dave Brubeck Quartet, and you have the slightest interest in jazz, then purchase "Take Five" or any album by Brubeck that has Morollo on there too--and enjoy a listening experience!

Ringo was a better singer that John B...although I can't say for sure how well John B sang. Ringo has a more a straightforward style I agree with above. See the drum solo in the LZ movie...I love Ringo, too.

I like Ringo but I definitely think Bonham was definitely the better of the two. Everything from that killer bass foot, to his using timpanies in his solos, to playing with four sticks, and playing with his hands...that's what made him the better!

Bonham, hands down. Ringo was subpar as far as skill goes.

For the Beatles style, Ringo by a landslide, that's why they stuck with him
