Dyer Maker /dʒəˈmeɪkə/ is a reggae-influenced song by Led Zeppelin Official, from their 1973 album *Houses of the Holy*. The title is a play on a contraction of the phrase Did you make her and the word Jamaica. This song was meant to imitate reggae and its dub derivative emerging from Jamaica in the early 1970s. Its genesis is traced to Led Zeppelins rehearsals at Stargroves in 1972, when drummer John Bonham started with a beat similar to 1950s doo-wop, and then twisted it into a slight off beat tempo, upon which a reggae influence emerged. The distinctive drum sound was created by placing three microphones a good distance away from Bonhams drums.
