You can't just get the right snare and find the right heads and get the right tuning and do it that way. Kind of a bummer
I reckon you can these days.......but in the early/mid 70's, heads were pretty much limited to Ambs, Emps and Black Dots.....no such thing as Evans, Aquarian or most of the pre-muffled heads available today.
I guess it also depend on the definition of the "right sound" too. Other than a few notable songs, there was very little studio processing put on Bonham's drum sound. And people have been chasing that one for years.
