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)

Any Pat Metheny album with Paul Wertico on drums will have excellent cymbals.

Gomez, Bring it On. Excellent, excellent recording. Track 6 has some of the best cymbal crashes I’ve ever heard recorded. Also, several tracks feature excellent hi-hat and splash cymbal work. You won’t be disappointed by the deep toms and bass drum either.

Patricia Barber Companion cd track 7 "black magic woman".
Good track to evaluate the system in general. Drums, cymbals, bass, vocals, hammond B3, bongos. Very dynamic music.
Patricia Barber's Nardis on Cafe Blue is good too, but I think the recording on Companion is better.
