Speaker Workout Music

[gassit]

Not sure if this request belongs here.

To test some DIY speakers I've built, I've been using a drum track from this site (http://www.lessloss.com/drums-drums-drums-p-203.html; in particular, LessLoss - Drums duet #2).

Would anyone know of similar free, high-quality downloads that feature a violin, cello, bass drum and cymbals, each recorded as a single instrument, ie., without any accompanying musical instruments and in its own acoustic space?

The goal is to hear each individual instrument at its best and most realistic.

Thank you.

Hmmmmm....

Not sure that it is what you are looking for but I was recommended Jeff Beck's 'Guitar Shop' but warned that it may punish poorer systems severely.

 

[gassit]

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Terry Bozzio's Solo Drum Music Vol. 1 (and possibly Vol. 2, which I don't currently have) is good. It's not free, but I picked up the CD new on eBay for pretty cheap.

How about this:

Heartbeat Drummers of Japan // Sheffield Lab Audiophile Recordings | The reference standard for musical and sonic excellence

Yep, all good stuff, but are there any top-notch recordings of solo violin
and cello?

Thanks all the same.

Yo Yo Ma's recordings of the Bach cello suites might be ok.

Not really my kind of music though, just google it. You should be able to find what you are looking for in minutes if not seconds.

Thanks Charles.

Hi RAndyB.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my post.

I'll download the violin music tomorrow morning. Hope it sounds as good as it looks.

Mucho gratias amigo!

Russell, that's what I read at first too. 🙂

Gassit, what gender and what nationality?

Yes, there's a reason I'm asking.
