Looking for Chinese drums CDs

Having recently heard an imported Chinese Drum CD, I am now looking for a few titles. If they are properly recorded, I can tell you that they are VERY dynamic instruments and great to listen to on top notch equipment. I've done the normal searches. Unfortunately, they came up with no real answers. I'm hoping someone has some better sources. Thank you, Aaron

I believe that sheffield labs has a disc out. It was a top notch recording typical of their work.

The above CD is outstanding. The information is taken from it's jacket. Maybe using any of the key words will help you.

aaronm: you may be looking for "master of chinese percussion." it's on naxos (no. 8-225942). there's one piece from this recording on the burmester sampler (vofürings) cd iii.-kelly

ps- i've just found another disc on naxos with the same artist, yim hok-man. it's titled "poems of thunder" and has the same piece, "poem of chinese drums," as that on the burmester disc already noted. see: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004UEGM/qid%3D999975583/002-8030256-5148814

What you are looking for is a cd named " Zhang The Drums of JiangZhou" 3rd edition. It's a live performance recording. The 24K gold CD is the best.
