Thanks for breaking that down. It really sounds cool up to speed. It has a rhythmic quality.

Bonham actually knew nothing about rudiments. It just came out naturally.

Nice ! I’d love to learn how this is a paradiddle diddle

Thank you! The hands are playing a paradiddlediddle RLRRLL, the feet are playing straight beats

Is this from a particular song?
