Spectacular Drum Set?

On the Joe Jackson record Heaven and Hell is a piece (anger) where two drummers are playing the same part, one on the right, and one on the left. Turn it up, and you'll be blown away. Probably your neighbours as well.....

I second Yim Hok-Man. This man is a percussion genius and virtuoso.

I've also always been very fond on Mike Giles performances on "Court of the Crimson King" Very tight,very dynamic.

Dave Weckl: Master Plan.

The title track is a nifty panned drum battle between Steve Gadd and Dave that should satisfy even the most primal percussive urges. The recording quality is very decent, as well. check it out

Hell, most Weckl albums are a drum-fest. Take your pick.

Ed Graham Hot Stix. M&K Realtime direct to disc LP.

If you want an utterly astounding recording of percussion instruments there is a rather difficult to find CD called "Qalam Kar" by Chemirani Trio. It is an Iranian recording of a father-son trio who are masters of the Persian Dumbek. Truly one of the most engaging recordings I own. I have never heard the drum given a 'voice' at it is by these gifted musicians. The recording is also quite excellent, and really shows off a systems soundstaging. I doubt it's exactly what the poster is looking for, but if ou are a percssion fan of any kind, don't miss out on this if you can find a copy.
