No, it was not a traditional revolution. A "traditional revolution" is one where the people of the country become dissatisfied with their existence, realize there is no hope that government will change it for the better and then overthrow that government. The Bolshevik Revolution was basically a military coup that seized power from the existing temporary government, the Provisional Government, and set itself up as the government despite the fact that not everyone wanted the Bolsheviks in power at all.
