My take on the whole "Levee" sound is that yeah, it's a cool way to mic up drums, but it probably doesn't apply to most home recording types. Zepplin could record almost anywhere they wanted, and they also had some of the most insane recording gear ever assembled. They had the most expensive and rare pre's, compressors, and eq's in a time when even cheap gear was better than most of the crap you can get now. So I think that has something to do with the sound as well.
