I need a recording with a good drum solo .

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

Slipknot1, thank you. I'll definitely look into those recommendations. When percussion and drums are done right and played back on a hirez setup, it can be down right spooky.

I never had the chance to see Ondekoza or Kodo live, but I've managed to see my friend Judy perform five times.

One of the most powerful performances I've ever seen was by a group called Maidaiko Aska Gumi. Absolutely primal! They are an all-male troupe from Japan and I was able to witness their incredible power three summers ago when they performed the same hot day as Zendeko. They go so F***ing crazy I thought the stage was gonna come apart.

If you're near Los Angeles in a couple months, Zendeko will be perfroming July 12th and 13th at their Obon Carnival.

Oops, I forgot. Maidaiko Aska Gumi does have one woman in their troupe.

Some more untraditional stuff:

Praxis ---->>>"Transmutation"
has an excellent drumming of Brain including drum solos that even heavy metal folks would drop the jaw on the floor.

Somre rare-rare-rare stuff:

Ginger Baker "African Force" on CMP label tough to find either on CD or vinyl. Grab even cassette if you see somewhere. You're going to have the most exciting drum-percussion experience you've ever had in your life.

Artist: Led Zepplin
Title: Song remains the same
song: Moby Dick

If you really want to test your wolfers/subs?
Try this:

Artist: Megadeath
Title: Cryptic Writings
song: Trust

Be for-warned make sure you system is at a low level
the first time if you try it. You will find out alot
about your bass/mid response. Its my current reference
for dynamic bass/mid response.

Good luck...
