I agree, I don't hear the big, bombastic drum sound much.
Still a lot of room sound, but not like Bonham.
Speaking for myself, I'm not trying to copy Bonham, but I like larger drums.
I usually use either 22" or 24" bass drums and 12" thru 16" toms for recording.
I'm not a fan of those 20"bd, 10", 12" & 14" tom set ups.
They work for other players though.
