I'm finding that I've been REALLY enjoying drum solos on my system lately. They seem to work the whole speaker, from the kick drum in the woofers, to the tom-tom in the midrange, and the cymbals and high hats in the tweeters. And when it all comes together, they are the instrument I have the easiest time seeing in front of myself.
I searched the forums titles to see if there were any good drum solo discussions going on, but I didn't see any. So here we go. In no particular order, here are some drum solos I've found to be very high quality:
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - The Drum Thunder Suite
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - Caravan Dave Brubeck Quartet - Far More Drums Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick Max Roach - Max's Variations
What are your favorite drum solos to listen to on your system?
Tony Williams, with The Trio of Doom (John McLaughlin/Jaco Pastorius), intro to The Dark Prince, live at Havana Jam festival. Billy Cobham, One Word (Birds of Fire LP), Mahavishnu Orchestra
