    Glyn Johns can sound very different, more like the others, if using condensors rather than ribbons, and cranking a nice saturating pre-amp. It depends what sound you are looking for. With ribbons it's quite a lo-fi sound, with large diagphragm condensors it's more the Bonham sound. With a big booming floor tom/kick sound. Then if you want a tighter more compact sound, Recorderman is similar but I think does tighten up the image. 70's did sound the best to me overall here. Easier to get a good mix with that very compact sound.

    Glyn Johns do not requires ribbons: can be condensers or even dynamics. It's about the placement and there are different possinle variants. Also the bass drum mic shouldn't be very close, but getting more of the kit sound while still focusing on the bass drum.

    Part of it could be "feeling the rhythm." If you keep your body moving, even to a point of exaggeration, you'll have a better time with staying on tempo and keeping dynamics/accents accurate and noticeable. But also, if you go to a concert and all the musicians are stiff as a board and expressionless, you might get bored. Maybe not you specifically, but definitely some audience members.
