I think Don is just an average drummer. Not horrible but he's no Mick or John Bonham....I know he wished he was....I think I've got an interview during Beast where he admits to not being the best drummer in the world.....sorry I can't post it....I know during the recording of an Eagles LP he stated he really wanted to let loose (when Glyn Johns was producing than) he said he wanted to play like John Bonham and Johns said ..." but you don't play drums like him..." I do love his singing & songwriting.....of course I'll always love him playing drums during Hotel California....one of the best songs ever!!!! IMO anyway.......If I stated what I said above wrong I'm sorry for I am going only by memory.....I read DF book too and what he said was very very interesting.....I have to admit....
