Great Percussion Recordings

slowhand: there were a couple of threads earlier this year that you may find helpful. seach on the word "percussion." there's one on percussion only and another on jazz percussion. i believe i mentioned in one of these or another thread that the most system-challenging percussion recordings i own are track no. 1 of "master of chinese percussion," naxos cd (hong kong) no. 8.225942, and "the gates of dafos" from the lp "dafos," reference recordings rr-12 (long out of print but worth a search). -kelly

This is not a great recording, but it is great percussive playing. "L.H. Correa de Azevedo, Music of Ceara and Minus Gerias". On the Ryco "Endangered Music Project" label. A great history piece on the music of Brazil.
