I have been experimenting with a supra ludally snare, and it seems to
me that it is a bit brighter that the bonham recordings.
could it be that he indeed did use a brass 6.5 instead of ludalloy.
let's not forget that people thought for years that Page used
marshalls with les pauls to record, when he uses small practice amps
close mic'ed.

anyone with more personal ear-experience recording drums have any
opinions?
