When the Levee Breaks — Drum Tab

by Led Zeppelin

71 BPM4/4Intermediate5 sections

Here's the main drum groove for When the Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin, transcribed by BeatFlow's AI at 71 BPM in 4/4. Tap open in studio to hear it, slow it down, loop any section and practice along — free.

How to play it

Play it slow and heavy, laying back behind the beat. Keep the snare on 2 and 4 fat and let the kick land with weight. The hi-hat 8ths should stay steady and relaxed. I transcribed the kick pattern from memory, so check it against the record.
