Drum CD

[tuxedocivic]

Hi,

I'm after a recording that emphasizes and/or possibly only has drums of all types. I'd like a recording that is very beaty, uses various drums, and most of all is extremely dynamic. Does anything exist? I need kick drum that'll pop cones and snare drum that'll clip amplifiers, all while giving hi-fidelity for demo/testing purposes.

If I can sample/purchase it on iTunes, all the better. Thanks for any suggestions.

Great suggestions guys. Thanks.

Stumbled across: Blue Man Group How to be a Megastar blu ray. Anyone watched this? I may give it a go as well as some others.

Blue Man Group is great for drum fans. The Complex is an excellent CD.

Check out Kando. They are a traditional Japanese drum group. I've been fortunate enough to see them perform, and they are quite amazing. They use every sort and sized drum imaginable, some of which are simply gigantic. Amazon carries some of their cds, and has some reviews as well which should help. Might look at their website as well. Just google Kodo and you will find all you need.

These recordings are about as intense as I've heard. Head snapping dynamics. And the best part? Free to download in high resolution;
Less Loss Drums, drums, drums!

Wow, very cool. Thanks to you both. I have a pair of new speakers and new subs that needs some abuse. Perfect timing. Thanks to you both.

 

[Charles Darwin]

IF you get the Sheffield Lab Kodo cd you might want to exercise some caution on first listen. The big drum is not always playing and that could lull you into a false sense of security!
On small speakers it is almost inaudible, you'll just see the midwoofer flapping helplessly.

The chaps from Burundi are pretty much in your face straight away though.

 

[lduarte1973]

i like those recordings they are great to tune my system , do you know others with bass voice , guitar(with distortion) , synth etc ?

 

[Charles Darwin]

That stuff from Burundi also exists as Burundi Black with a variety of remixes: The Rusty Egan mix with synth, a 'Black Guitar' mix, vuvuzela mix and others.
