John Bonham grew up in Redditch, Worcestershire, England, and he first learned how to play drums when he was five, making a drumkit out of containers and coffee tins. It wasn't until age fifteen that he received his first real drumkit from his father'a Premier Percussion kit. Bonham never took any drum lessons while he was young, but would always seek out other drummers to ask for advice. After leaving secondary school in 1964, he worked for his father, Jack Bonham, as an apprentice carpenter while drumming for different local bands. That year he joined his first band, Terry Webb & The Spiders. Two years later he joined The Crawling King Snakes, whose lead singer was a young Robert Plant. Several years later, Plant recommended Bonham for a band he'd just joined, Led Zeppelin. The rest is history.
