The challenge - recreate 'When The Levee Breaks' reverb via ableton rack.

The famous drum performance was recorded by engineer Andy Johns by placing Bonham and a new drumkit at the bottom of a stairwell at Headley Grange, and recording it using two Beyerdynamic M160 microphones at the top, giving the distinctive resonant but slightly muffled sound.

Different studio and album, but it's all Bonham. ;)

Where the levee breaks was either recorded @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headley_Grange or http://www.sarmstudios.com/ ...
Pay some money for an hour @ sarm, to take some impulse responses? :

edit: Ah I see you found it was recorded at that house... Well that's a toughy.

I'll think about it. I need something legit, and global, to offer.
