I never had any lessons. When I first started playing I used to read music. I was very interested in music. But when I started playing in groups I did a silly thing and dropped it. It's great if you can write things down.

More quotes by John Bonham
I'm the Best Keith Moon-type drummer in the world.
John Bonham
I have no qualm about the quality of the contemporary repertory.
John Bonham
With Zeppelin, I tried to play something different every night in my solos. I'd play for 20 minutes but the longest ever was 30 minutes. It's a long time, but whenI was playing it seemed to fly by.
John Bonham
People who don't take care of their drums really annoy me.
John Bonham
Nowadays you can't be loud enough!
John Bonham
I don't consider that I'm particularly influenced by anyone or anything. But when I started playing, I was influenced by early soul. It was just that feel, that sound.
John Bonham
Sometimes you'd come up against a brick wall... or sometimes you go into a fill and you'd know halfway through it was going to be disastrous.
John Bonham
Most of it was nuts, but I was determined to be a drummer as soon as I left school.
John Bonham
Drumming was the only thing I was ever good at.
