the natural sound of a cymbal


i am looking for recoordings which fearure cymbals.

besides maplesahde, can anyone suggest labels or artists which produce a very natural sound of a cymbal ?

i find the sound of a cymbal a good test of the upper midrange and treble frequencies of a stereo sytem and having a recording to use to evaluate the aforrementioned frequencies is an invaluable tool when listening after changing components.

thanks for your suggestions

One of my reference songs is "High Falls" off of "Win, Lose, or Draw" (ca.1975) by the Allman Brothers. It is approximately a 10 minute instrumental featuring solos by Chuck Leavell and Dicky Betts. The signiture Allman Bros. sound of the era featured dual drummers- Butch Trucks and Jaimoe Johnson. The complex intricate rhythmic details highlight the cymbal work, which truly tests a full range speaker. A pretty deep track in the Brother's catalogue, but a really great one.
