I think this is a song of hope........

At moments the grooves on some of those tracks come pretty close, but there's a lot of points they don't. Like on D'yer Mak'er, which the drummer seems to get better on as the song nears the end; I find his version of Kashmir also doesn't come close enough and that song is all about the groove (which is way behind the beat) -- it's just not there in this version. Overall, I don't think the drummer who did these nailed Bonham's feel, which is behind the beat (this drummer seems to get it right at some points, not at others), and it's especially notable how far this drummer is from Bonham when it comes to fills and on some of the crashes (Bonham commonly hit the bass drum pretty hard when he accented a crash). That said, the drum sound is pretty close.

Note how Bonham really pounds the bass drum when he hits it to the point where you almost hear the bass drum half as loud as the cymbal crash. That's a signature Bonham crash (these are actual outtakes from Zeppelin's "In Through the Out Door" sessions): http://www.saladrecords.com/BonhamFile11.mp3 and here http://www.saladrecords.com/BonhamFile13.mp3 (check here for more of Bonham's outtakes:http://www.saladrecords.com/bonhamfiles.htm )

Listen to Bonham's isolated drumming for "All of My Love" which is that signature feel he has on other classics like "Kashmir" and compare it to the feel of the Looploft drummer and you'll likely hear the huge difference in feel.
