CDs with heavy, fast bass and/or long drum solos

Due to a variety of circumstances, I find myself in the position of needing to break in the woofers below 80hz of my primary speakers (VSA VR-7s). Any good, well-recoded CD's or points to an existing thread on this would be appreciated

I heard a disc from Norway at RMAF on the 4th or 5th floor of the Atrium tower that was incredible, but can't remember the name of the disc. It was playing pretty loud, so I'm sure a number of others heard it as well. If anyone wrote down the name of that disc, please reply here.

ALso please note - I am not interested in Test discs or warble tones - I want real music.

Thanks a bunch

If you want a truly amazing percussion performance, seek out the Iranian father/son trio's album:

Qalam Kar, by Trio Chemirani

It has all the qualities you are looking for and soundstaging in spades.

Try Marcus Miller M2, trouble is, you won't want to take it off.

Indeed - Nils Landgren "Da Fonk" - on the 5000 miles CD has stupendous bass from Marcus Miller - but be careful it could destroy the small woofers (the voice coils can get very hot on this number as Marcus really lets loose - it may be safer to send those frequencies to a sub).

Check out the first CD of the group the Supreme Beings of Leisure. Also, a CD called (WorldBeat, world music for a new millenium) the song midnight. a Huge continous pounding bass line.

I second MoFi's suggestion of the Sheffield disk. It is available from Acoustic Sounds in both cd and xrcd form.

Following the release of the Sheffield Track Record in 1982, which is one of the two originally direct-to-disk lp's which are included on the cd and xrcd (the other being the Sheffield Drum Record), Harry Pearson proclaimed it to be "absolutely the best sounding rock and roll record ever made." I think that a good case could be made for that still being true today.
