Page was definitely good at using anything and everything to capture the perfect sound.
Little trivia bit: "When The Levee Breaks", the drums were recorded in a hallway. They had tried the song before, but never captured the right sound. One day when they were moving equipment, the drums were sitting in a hallway and Bonzo started playing them. Page immediately mic'd him and started the tape rolling with the band in one room, Bonzo in the hall.
