Such a great drum beat, and a great song as well. BUM TA BUM BUMBA TA
i don't know if it's the beat, or the production. who woulda thought recording the drums in a hallway would work out?

i agree about the drums - this song is really a showcase for Bonham's power. harmonica is killer as well.
here's a neat little snippet i found on a quick google search, from a village voice book review
Quote:
Fittingly, their greatest work comes when they retreat from their fans and critics and nonstop touring to the cold and damp Headley Grange, a manor with "no furniture, no pool table, no pub nearby." Here Bonham captures the true sound of the drums he hears in his head, and not the "biscuit tin" sound of drumming in a studio, by moving the microphones away from his kit so that "what you hear on 'When the Levee Breaks' is not just the sound of Bonham's drumming, but the way in which the drums react to the acoustics of the room they were in." Backward echoes are put on Plant's harmonica and Jimmy Page's guitar, and on Fyfe's word processor as he describes Memphis Minnie singing and the Beastie Boys sampling "Levee" in such a way that you hear all three versions at once—a fitting tribute to the song and to this spellbinding book.
