As I am sure many other people here are, I am a John Bonham fan. I love the tone and the great sound he can get out of his kit, more specifically his snare drum. I know he used a 6.5 inch deep Ludwig Supraphonic, and i think it sounds fantastic. I have an old 5 inch deep Supraphonic from 1968, and tried to tune it as best as i could to the sound Bonham has, but can not quite get it. Once I get the money, I was going to get a deep Supraphonic like Bonham, but wondered if the newer ones would sound like the older ones. I am aware that new or old Supras sound amazing, but was wondering if indeed i could get that Bonham sound with a newer one, or if I should hunt through ebay and try and get my hands on an older one?
