...No tech, or engineer got the Bonham sound. As a matter of fact no one has gotten the Bonham sound xcept Bonzo If you disagree, prove it with a link or mp3, words mean nothing

I am amused with all the fanboy idolization of a drum tuning. IDK I think it's a fools journey to try and cop another's sound. In the end it all comes down to how you play your drums not the tuning. Let JB's sound RIP with him. Your emotion and energy is what you were given, don't throw that away in favor for what someone else was given. That's ungrateful.
A mp3 ... or a sound bite .... please ...No, I disagree ... If you own the drums .... then you probably know how to tune them ....If you don't own the drums, then you're probably just here to argue ....And they say "a picture is worth a thousand words" ...
Im sure the right sizes will help ALOT. It wouldn't be physically possible to get the exact sound from his 14'' tom with a 10/12''. Im sure you can get pretty near, with some heavy tuning, with alot of precision and drum head selection.
I might have even got one of these Bonzo sounds out of my toms without noticing, and i maybe didn't like it at all, so i retuned. I tune my heads like said in here. Bottom tighter than top. I tune the bass drum until it feels and sounds good to me. I tune the snare until i can make ghostnotes without even touching the head (almost). I tune the snare until it sounds good to ME. That's is what i'd say the best method to tune. Tune until it sounds and feels good, to YOU. - Not Bonham..
I am a huge Bonham fan. His sound isn't magic. It's big drums tuned the way people used to tune big drums. To say that the engineering/production had nothing to do with it is like saying the 3rd and 4th albums have the same drum sound.
Does it matter to you that that wasn't the question? Why do people feel the need to talk people out of what they're interested in????? Geeezzz
With all due respect
With all my respect sir. I'd suggest you stop writing these offensive posts. We didn't harm, Insult or threaten you in any way, and still you enter this defensive stance where you keep tell us that we're wrong, and write this posts. I scrolled down a little, and then I see you did this three times? And you ask what's wrong with us! May I ask what the heck that's wrong with you?
