What was the first CD with great drums??


U2 - War, Stop Making Sense, right out.  Phil Collins? Forget about it.

Brother's in Arms?  Almost starts to get there...

Led Zeppelin IV, "When the Levee Breaks." Thanks to the unique mic'ing and non-studio setup. Early CD releases from Germany and Japan have stellar SQ.

You really need to address what you personaly feel is great drumming.  I grew up on all the great drummers of the rock age 1965 onward, but as my musical taste evolved, I would now have to say the best rock & roll drummers don't stand up against the great Jazz drummers.
