How close can you get to John Bonham’s legendary drum sound with just three modern microphones?
We’re putting the brand-new Drumeo Mic Pack by Earthworks to the ultimate test by trying to recreate the drum sound on the early Led Zeppelin records.
Brandon Toews teams up with Drumeo’s drum tech and recording engineer to break down the kit, tuning, cymbals, mic placement, and recording techniques behind Bonham’s iconic sound.
We’ll explore the Glyn Johns and Andy Johns approaches used on the early Zeppelin recordings and see how closely three modern microphones can capture the magic of Bonham’s early sound.
