Ribbon Microphones

I have often wondered why Ribbon mics sound good on Brass and
persussion because they are not fast enough to react to the transients
and therefore get more of a resonant signal compared to the transient.
Kinda like a compressor set with a slow attack time: the signal is too
fast for the gear to see it?
Any thoughts?
