wouldn't that be a good start?

Not many people are playing Zep-styled music anymore. The sounds have evolved quite a bit since the magic that Bonham created. Yes, the way rock drums have been incorporated into the genre is largely indebted to people like Ringo Starr, Bonham, Bill Ward, Phil Rudd and many others. And yet within each of those styles is a fairly unique drum sound. Meanwhile, obviously they're all ROCK drummers.
IMHO it all hints back to the drummer and how he used his instruments, more than anything else. Kit size, brand, year, etc. etc. isn't nearly as influential as the talent and playing decisions of the drummer.
