Music that has good cymbals


Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of evaluating my system's high end frequencies. Particularly, I'd like to analyse how it resolves cymbals. Can anyone recommend any CD's to do this? I like listen to all styles (i.e. jazz, classical, classic rock, 80-90's alternative, even some good pop)

Phish-"A Picture of Nectar". Some of the best recorded rock & roll cymbals I have ever heard. Some of the crash cymbals decay for around ten seconds or more while the rest of the music just continues. It's almost creepy hearing a single crash fade away in it's own space. It is the first thing I notice about this cd. You will not be dissappointed.
David Hazeltine,Classic Trio and Alan Broadbent,Personal Standards both are excellent cd sound quality,with good cymbal sounds.Also the HDCD version of Dave Brubeck,Take Five has good cymbal sound quality.
Any Pat Metheny album with Paul Wertico on drums will have excellent cymbals.
Gomez, Bring it On. Excellent, excellent recording. Track 6 has some of the best cymbal crashes I’ve ever heard recorded. Also, several tracks feature excellent hi-hat and splash cymbal work. You won’t be disappointed by the deep toms and bass drum either.

Patricia Barber Companion cd track 7 "black magic woman".
Good track to evaluate the system in general. Drums, cymbals, bass, vocals, hammond B3, bongos. Very dynamic music.
Patricia Barber's Nardis on Cafe Blue is good too, but I think the recording on Companion is better.
