Bonham did use Ludwig 2A for a while the 2A back in the seventies was slightly thinner than a 2b. The thing is back then much lighter smaller sticks were the norm. As amplification improved drums were no longer the loudest instrument and drummers needed to pull more power and volume from the kit.

With guys like Bonham , Cozy Powell and Carmine Appice sticks got bigger and now the average is somewhat larger than the 70's.

Hope this is helpful. In later years he used alocal drum maker named Eddy Ryan to make custom sticks which were medium weight and somewhere between a 2b and 5 b.

Q: What size drumstick did john Bonham use. I know they say he used 2A but those are not as big as the rumors about the size he used. They said he used tree trunks or logs for sticks?
