Thank you for the info. I have now ordered a few. It seems the secret was to have known Yim Hok-Man's name. Thank You again, Aaron

Jbls8r: you have a source for your selection? i haven't been able to find it on the 'net, yet. -kelly

What you are looking for is a cd named " Zhang The Drums of JiangZhou" 3rd edition. It's a live performance recording. The 24K gold CD is the best.

aaronm: the cd noted by bigjim (now titled "favorite chinese instrumentals" and on xrcd) can be found at: http://www.fimpression.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=FIMXRCD019

aaronm: you may be looking for "master of chinese percussion." it's on naxos (no. 8-225942). there's one piece from this recording on the burmester sampler (vofürings) cd iii.-kelly

ps- i've just found another disc on naxos with the same artist, yim hok-man. it's titled "poems of thunder" and has the same piece, "poem of chinese drums," as that on the burmester disc already noted. see: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004UEGM/qid%3D999975583/002-8030256-5148814

The above CD is outstanding. The information is taken from it's jacket. Maybe using any of the key words will help you.

I believe that sheffield labs has a disc out. It was a top notch recording typical of their work.
