Bonham's Felt Strips

[TamaGroove]

I am wondering if anyone knows the thickness, width and placement of felt strips on John Bonham's Bass drum

I would assume such a well known drummer would have multiply kits/placements for different bands/occasions.

However i can't answer your question

There are a few you tube videos dedicated to just that!
Felts, drum heads, cymbals, sticks - everything.
Just look around a bit - for I don't have a link handy.

the only thing i cant find is the thickness of the felt. you guys have any ideas?

[moresound]

I believe the you tube video that I viewed was by the recording engineer that explained everything.

And from memory I can recall a few different write ups stating that the felts were thick.

Lots of drum stores (and possibly online) sell felt strips especially for this purpose. That's what I use...

I'm mostly with ya there. Great player, obviously an all-time legend among legends, but his drum sounds were just whatever to me.
