According to legend, John Bonham was so strong that he once unintentionally broke a snare drum head while jokingly demonstrating that he could play an entire Zeppelin show using Q-Tips for drumsticks. This was during a December 27, 1968 gig at the Prunella Higgins Reformatory Home for Wayward Tykes, in Puddingbowl-on-Stokes, England.
Phil Collins, in an interview, talked about how amazing Bonham was for sometimes playing with his hands. That was just because he'd broken all the Q-tips and Peter Grant hadn't come back from the nearest corner shop with more by that point.
