Music that has good cymbals


Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of evaluating my system's high end frequencies. Particularly, I'd like to analyse how it resolves cymbals. Can anyone recommend any CD's to do this? I like listen to all styles (i.e. jazz, classical, classic rock, 80-90's alternative, even some good pop)

David Hazeltine,Classic Trio and Alan Broadbent,Personal Standards both are excellent cd sound quality,with good cymbal sounds.Also the HDCD version of Dave Brubeck,Take Five has good cymbal sound quality.
The newest cd in my posession,Dick Hyman-From the Age of Swing has the best cymbal sounds of any of my collection.It is on Reference Recordings,is HDCD,and also the best recording quality overall of all of my cd,s.Even on other recordings when the ride,and or swish sound good,the hi-hat may not really sound very good,or be prominent enough to appreciate. On this one even the hi-hat is very prominent,and sounds excellent.IMHO,an excellent cd for determining cymbal quality sound of your sysdtem.
