The live version of Lingus by the band Snarky Puppy has one of the best sounding drum performances I have heard. Larnell Lewis learned the song on the flight to the gig as a fill in, and shines like the true star he is. It is one of the coolest stories in recent music lore. What class and talent that man is.
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.
