Great Percussion Recordings

BLUE MAN GROUP, but lookout... recording has huge dynamic range, and this recording challenges the limits of components more than any other recording I've heard. I'm willing to bet that it would make even the big Krell's with big daddy speakers sound inadequate. If you've ever seen their performance in Chicago, you will know what I mean. They pound away on monstrous unamplified drums, and you think your eardrums are gonna blow out. Bought CD at Best Buy, so I'm sure it's available elsewhere. Anyone else try this recording?

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I was lucky enough to get a copy of Dafos on LP. It is a fantastic recording. If you can find one, jump on it. Track 14 on Emmylou Harris "Spyboy" has a drum solo by drummer Brady Blade. It sounds like he is in your listening room when you crank it up. Also track 4 on James Taylors "Hourglass" has some subteranean drums in it.

Find a copy of the Sheffield Drum Record (the LP and not the CD). Recorded Direct to Disk

There are a couple of drum solos that, on the right system, will knock your socks off...,.very real.

ART BLAKEY, RITUAL! This recording is beautiful, forget about the fact that its not the most clean sounding, if you like(love) drums... you will appreciate this recording.

P.S- I know many of you already know this, I just thought I'd post it for the kids out there!
