Looking For High Quality Drum Music.

I was wondering if anyone can recommend high quality recordings on CD, SACD, or DVD Audio that have good sounding drums. I prefer jazz or rock; however any music with good sounding drums is fine, so long as it isn't rap. I already own the Sheffield Drum record on XRCD by FIM, which sounds terrific with my Silverline GrandeurII speakers.

Hi Kevine,

For performance of playing you should check out "Romantic Warrior" by Return To Forever. Lenny White's drumming is phenomemnal! The recording is somewhat dense but is still quite good. The bass is also amazing.

Best,

Barry

One more for you - Bill Bruford's World Drummers Ensemble -A Coat of Many Colors. Unbelieveable drumming, as always with anything associated with Bill Bruford. Also, Burning for Buddy, a tribute to Buddy Rich with Bruford, Neil Peart, etc is outstanding and very well recorded.
