The iconic drum sound of Led Zeppelin’s When the Levee Breaks is one of the most legendary in rock history - massive, raw, and drenched in natural ambience. This sample pack is a tribute to that unmistakable, room-filling tone.
With these drum samples we’ve faithfully recreated the original sound using a 1970s Green Sparkle kit paired with Bonham’s revered Ludwig Supraphonic LM402 snare. The high room mic setup was meticulously replicated to capture the powerful, natural reverb that defined the track. We’ve also emulated the classic tape delay famously used by engineer Andy Johns, bringing even more authenticity to the sound.
Why It Hits Harder Than Other Packs
Faithful Recreation - Same Kit. Same Gear. Large Room
Human Feel - Multi-velocity and round robins
Zero Mixing Needed - Huge sounds straight out of the box

"I’ve got tens of thousands of drum samples, but most are either over-processed or too raw to use easily. The snare samples from Just Add Drums hit the perfect balance - ready to go yet flexible enough to shape to my sound. They’ve quickly become a staple in my setup."

I’ve received a lot of compliments on the snare sound!"

Are these loops or grooves?
These are NOT audio loops or MIDI grooves.
Does this pack include raw & processed samples, like your other packs?
We applied only minimal processing in creating this sample pack, so providing both raw and processed versions is unnecessary. Essentially, this pack consists of raw samples.
Look...I know the album that inspired this pack isn't exactly beloved, but there are some VERY inspiring drums here. The kick and toms are incredibly punchy and cut through mixes with very little additional processing. The snare has ring for days and lends very well to anything with a big, half-time feel...be it raw ballads or breakdowns.
