I think MM was better in terms of dynamics and is a bit more propulsive on record than JB.

MM is a beautiful drummer...love him...but maybe something about the forcefulness of Bonham puts him over the edge? I'm torn. I'd hate to go against Mitch.

I can think of a dozen drummers (from various eras) who could sit in for Mitchell on Experience material, but it's hard to imagine anyone filling in for Bonham on a gig if he had the flu or something. That was mostly my thinking when I voted Bonham, but Mitchell's style of playing is what I enjoy listening to more often.

yeah that's the thing. Bonham both holds it down & writes his name on it

Yeah...I would have to agree with that.
