Jeff16years · 26th November 2006

so everyone talks about the Bonham drum sound (as they should) when it comes to rock drums. it seems that everyone is going for this sound (just like me)

so here is the question, how come these days everyone is talking smack about big drums? everone talks about the LZ drum sound and at the same time eveyone is using 22" kicks.

i have an idea if JB's drums sounded so great why don't you start by picking up a set of early 70's Ludwigs with a 26"kick, a small rack of something like 14", with 16" and 18" floor toms.
wouldn't that be a good start?

is it just me?
