Did anybody note that he has forget the first part of the verse following the first refrain ? 1:43 Despite this, incredible mastery and sublime performance !
Jesus that's tight. well done gents.
I love the way this song builds up although I feel the chorus is slightly anticlimatic but still it's a great creative piece of emotional music.
such a good live performance!
what a magnificent piece of music and song writing. thank you
That was excellent, WOW
this is good!! very good! quality music!!
Fucking perfect

Glyn never used precise formulaic measurements with mic placement. He definitely didn't use a measuring tape. Like all great producers/engineers he used his ears. Glyn also often had access to a great room with high ceiling.
My god, Graham has aged...
Awesome I 💙this song xxx
Alex, when will you be announced as the new official Elbow drummer?!
I'm not the new Elbow drummer, just playing for them ;-)
Thanks so much for posting this!
Great song!
wow
Whow...
NO AUTOTUNE?! THIS MAN IS PURE!
cool , talented !
Cool sound! It sounds very styley. The sound of toms is awesome! Can't believe it's just from overheads
Elbow is Magnificent!!!
YES!
i am very impressed with the quality with thw few mics you used. Thanks for the vid
What ribbon mic are you using here?
It's a T Bone RB500 from Thomann in Germany - it's very cheap but sounds surprisingly good. I've got 2 Coles 4038s and a Royer 121 and the RB500 stands up tall!
i liked how you had a ribbon for the floor tom side! I think it actually helped bring out more of the low end of the floor and the kit, which is often what some say sucks about the technique! that the floor tom and toms are lacking in low end and punch! i dunno i just thought it was cool you switched it up, and the kit was awsome, sounded super junky lol !
Nice one! Junk kit was the idea!
Sounds like a grittier Santana
even better than the original :)
Boom!
Really nice demonstration! The song sounds a bit like Tom Waits (good). I like how you mixed and matched a ribbon and condensor mic on the OH's.
Thanks tekis0! I'm a big Tom Waits fan
This is so sick live!!!!!!!!!!
Completely blown away!! I can't imagine a more perfect sound or performance. Inspiring!!
sounds great! are pans all up the center?
Hey hbrookes, the overheads are panned: left is panned about one third, right is panned one half (if that makes sense). Keep the bass drum and snare mics down the middle
i love vintage drum sounds and this was extremely nice... good job!!
Simple and beautiful, as the song required.
So simple. Love the groove, love the sound. I was watching another video on the Glyn Johns technique, and I must say the presenter had no clue what he was talking about. Sorry, Ryan. Thank you, Alex. You have a new subscriber.
Thanks Aaron!
Nice man, but actually the Glyn Johns technique contains 3 mics right?
Originally yes indeed. There are loads of slight variations on this technique. Try everything!
Would it be fine to use an AKG P170 as one of the overheads and then a large condenser as the other?
Worth a try!
Fucking amazing
thx so much. Very warm sound tom
Great video man, really helpful.
Bloody BRILLIANT video, can't thank you enough for making it!
Hope it helped Eric
awesome man!
Thanks Josh!
Hey, great sound and playing style, I think you couldn't have achieved that sound by close micing the entire set, the four mic technique is just right for this style of music, great ambience and general atmosphere. What's the name of the song?
Thanks! Song is called Cherry Red Kiss by Randall Breneman
woooooooooooowwwwwwww!!!!
How have you panned the overheads?
Hi John, I panned the one near the floor tom about half-way to the right and the overhead about one third to the left. Hope that helps. Alex
excellent video great song great info thank you!
Thanks so much!
+alexreevesdrums Subsctibed even!
fucking majestic
