I need a recording with a good drum solo .

Slipknot1, you're on to some cool stuff. A friend of mine here in the Los Angeles area was trained by members of Ondekoza many years back and is one of the directors of her own troupe called Zendeko. The Rhythm Devils CD is neat too. I also think Kodo's early release [1984?] Heartbeat Drummers of Japan is good, especially "O-Daiko". Thundering and it goes straight to the soul!

Anything with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers.

When you say "good" drum solo, do you mean great playing, or above average realism and soundstage?

Gunbei,
Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out. I've seen Ondekoza live several times, and I'm always amazed. Over the years, the MANY Dead shows I attended, "Drumz" was always my favorite part of the show. The LP's I mentioned above are wild to listen to on a high rez setup..

Try the Congo soundtrack. Has deep bass, steel drums, flutes, vocals and a huge soundfield.
