It’s true what they say/and a question


Last night I heard the Marcin Wasilewski Trio in Baltimore.  Wow! Not only did it restore my faith in humanity—if three guys could produce such beauty, we as a species can do anything—it also proved the old adage that listening to live music is essential. I was enjoying the music and comparing what I heard to my system. I was very very pleased. I feel my system is fairly dialed in. Piano bass and most of the drums.  If anything the tom toms sounded a little more real, a little more fluid than at home. So here is my question: what are some tracks that reveal that tom tom sound? Cymbals, snare and bass I got. I’m looking for something that will highlight the tom toms.

Agree with @roxy54 

I listen to a ton of jazz both live and recorded. One could argue that of all jazz instruments the drums seem to vary the most from one recording to another.

A good example of good tom drumming is "Monks Dream" Theloneous Monk Columbia records with drummer Frankie Dunlap.
