Here's a link to the song, for anyone who isn't already humming it in their head. Pay close attention at ~2:22 - there's a moment where the drums seem to lose the beat for just a moment, and it's still unknown if that is a result of the damaged tape being spliced back together, or if the drummer just didn't quite nail the timing of a short fill.

Bonus TIL fact: Tom Dowd, the engineer for this recording, not only worked on recordings for a staggering number of artists (the list includes Eric Clapton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rod Stewart, The Allman Bros. Band, Cher, Booker T. and the MG's, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin and more), but earlier in his career he worked on the infamous Manhattan Project, which lead to the development of the atomic bomb.

The documentary Muscle Shoals is excellent and goes into a lot of those recordings. That backing band played on soooo many amazing records

"So how'd you end up meeting Eric Clapton?"

There is no drumming error imo, it's in time but just syncopated to add variation and is tastefully placed
