It’s true what they say/and a question


Last night I heard the Marcin Wasilewski Trio in Baltimore.  Wow! Not only did it restore my faith in humanity—if three guys could produce such beauty, we as a species can do anything—it also proved the old adage that listening to live music is essential. I was enjoying the music and comparing what I heard to my system. I was very very pleased. I feel my system is fairly dialed in. Piano bass and most of the drums.  If anything the tom toms sounded a little more real, a little more fluid than at home. So here is my question: what are some tracks that reveal that tom tom sound? Cymbals, snare and bass I got. I’m looking for something that will highlight the tom toms.

Using multiple microphones to capture drum sound is not necessary. Spot miking of individual drums is rarely used in recording jazz. An a lot of great rock recordings have been made using the Glynn Johns three mike method.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever. More audiophiles need to attend live concerts, it will give you a sense as to where you need to be with your system.

Grisleybutter, humanity is not screwed yet. The good guys are winning and in time you'll see this is true. I'll say no more than that.
