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?
 
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...
 
Greg_L I read that the other day actually, right you are it is quite interesting

Keith Moon learned much of his drum style and wild man persona from Viv Prince of the Pretty things. So brilliant Bonzo is kind of like a grandson. :D
