Now Smith, along with Queen's Roger Taylor and session musician Andy Gangadeen, have laid down their own beats on the very spot where John Bonham recorded classics including When The Levee Breaks.

The sessions were set up by Spitfire Audio, who recorded the trio for inclusion on a software pack titled The Grange, which provides drum samples and loops for other artists to download.

Smith says: "To be able to play drums where John Bonham played those beats and that music is beyond my wildest dreams. I'll never forget it as long as I live."
