Great to see this thread still alive and well, and thank you for the kind words Jennifer. I love the modified Glyn Johns technique that Weedy advocates, but there is one thing about it that upsets me slightly. Because of the positioning of the microphone over the floor tom, it will inevitably pick u...

Hey everyone, I just wanted to follow up my original post with a link to my final dissertation paper. I'm very happy to let you all know that I got a first class mark for the dissertation. Overall, I managed to pass my degree with first class honours and I have been named on the Dean's list for scor...

Since reading about this technique on the womb forums it has been my go to setup as well. There is a small problem I wrestle with still and that's the diff...

I'm forever grateful to all involved. I have been in touch with Bob and John about a dissertation than I'm working on in my final ye...
