More votes for Ed Graham Hot Stix and Dafos. Stunning on vinyl.
Forget Charlie Byrd on Crystal Clear: very dry and not necessarily realistic.
A couple others that come to mind:
Percussion Music on Nonesuch, on HP's list for a long time.
Drum Improvs, sort of an experimental CD-R of a few short cuts of a big drum set recorded live to hard disk by the performer. A little bit of mike splash but otherwise a shocker. Don't know if it's still available. Mail me for info.
