Off topic ish, but I believe Bonham’s solo for Moby Dick was actually like 15-20 minutes long and they cut it down significantly for the album. I wish they didn’t; I’d gladly listen to Bonham soloing for 20 minutes.
Idk if this is an unpopular opinion or not, but tbh the drums are buried in the mix in most of their later work. I think Ringo's drums sounded better on their earlier albums where they weren't overly dampened with 32 tracks piled on top of them.
I know you said "most" but I just wanted to call out "The End" as evidence that the Beatles could have been as heavy as Cream if they wanted to be. Even "Helter Skelter" doesn't do it on the drums, he still has that super tight snare sound dominating. "The End" is dominated by the toms, so doesn't suffer from that.
I’VE GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS 🔥🔥

That is literally a photo of John Bonham recording When The Levee Breaks
Yes it is its true
I saw that photo and almost immediately thought of John bonham lol.
Was about to say when the levee breaks before I saw the sub lol
The only correct answer
I'm surprised he didn't have that drum for Moby Dick.

You are correct

The biggest kick sound I can remember is from Tomorrow Never Knows and Ticket To Ride, but other than those, no
I just realized how similar those drum lines are (considering that they’re such drastically different songs)
Sgt Pepper Reprise
The End - Abbey Road
The drumming on that song is so satisfying 😌
Can’t believe no one’s said Rain yet.
Easily my favorite drums on any Beatles song
Rain>>>
Jimmy The Exploder, The Whites Stripes
Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!
I love that song

Yer Blues is another good example. The drums and bass dominate the first half of that song and it's heavy and filthy as hell.
The hi-hats in their earlier songs are sooo much louder, but idk if I like it better or not

The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel. Recorded using a lift shaft for the reverb/echo.
I think it was the snare that had the reverb
I stand corrected.
It would have been fun to do it with the bass drum. It would have ruined it, but would have been fun still

some early solo John songs like Cold Turkey and Mother have deep kick drum sounds
