PLACEMENT OF INSTRUMENTS; YOU CAN CLOSE YOUR EYES AND SEE THE DRUMMER AND HOW FAR OR NEAR HE IS...
AS WELL AS THE SINGER AND THE ECHOES OFF OF THE WALLS.
PERCISSIVE QUALITIES OF EACH STRIKE PARTICULARLY THE DRUMS YOU CAN HEAR THE SKIN.. 
INSTRUMENTS;BIANZHONG / STONE QING  / JIANGU /   YUE GONG / LARGE SYMBOLS / SET GONGS / CLAPPERS / YUNLUO.

YOU MIGHT FIND THIS MUSIC UNAPPLEALING BUT THE ACOUSTICS ARE UNMISTAKABLE.
I BELIEVE ALL THE SOUNDS OF THE PERCUSSIONS ARE NATURAL
.AT LEAST I CAN HEAR THE ROOM THAT IT WAS RECORDED IN.
