I’m surprised nobody has posted this yet:

I’ve never been a Led Zeppelin fan at all but the drums, and the production, on “When The Levee Breaks” is as good as it gets, IMVHO. It’s the only Zep tune I can listen to, I just zone in on the echoed drumming and the distorted harmonica playing. Superb.

Not so much a break.

There’s a section in Sultan’s of Swing and Knopfler says “and then the time bell rings” or something and the drummer taps out the “time bell” on the ride - really sweet.

Its a syncopated fill with the bass drum. Pick called it his finest moment.

Hella Good - No Doubt.

Verse after first Chorus.

bap bap bap bap…

like a machine gun. No fancy pants stuff - just love it from a production POV.

Wasn't it Sly and Robbie at the helm for this album?

Rock, and indeed Roll. Talk about heavy. Nothing since comes near for extremes of light, shade and space in a Rock song.
