I gotcha, that picture reminds me of a scene in The Gene Krupa Story, the female vocalist thought his kick was too loud and threw a mink coat over it. Sal Mineo, playing Gene Krupa, was not too pleased.singer

Here's a pic of an example of that muffling technique. Admittedly not 50s, and not Philly Joe, but still jazz, source: http://www.alovesupremethebook.com/[IMG]http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e358/musikdiplomat/elvinlovesupreme1.jpg[/IMG]
The bass drum mic in the pic is not a modern bass drum mic, like a 52A, so there's that to consider...maybe the punch is just a bit more mid-range in origin, which would go with single-ply coated heads tuned relatively high.
