    Bonham's signature triplets went snare-bass-bass to put it basically.

    It takes a lot of practise to get your right foot up to speed to play them.

    not sure of a specific example in a sing if the above is what you're looking for, but i'd imagine Bonzo had either a badass right foot in heel up playing or else he used heel toe.
    I learned heel toe by accident, was trying to play a song that had tonnes of bass drum in it (which it later emerged didn;t just had a hand drum tuned way down to sound like a bass drum and used a simple sticking but i'm glad with the results).
    Try this : snare - bass drum hit (heel up) - bass drum hit (after the first un smack your heel into the centre of the pedal after a few goes you should get it).

    Hope that helps sorry if it doesn;t
    :)
