Ditto on the recording quality being suspect. Snares(and
drums in general) are difficult to record, regarding the
capture of their dynamic potential/impact. The vinyl version
of this album was recorded Direct-to-Disc and is now almost
impossible to obtain: (http://www.elusivedisc.com/THE-SHEFFIELD-LAB-DRUM-TRACK-DISC-DXD-CD/productinfo/LIMDX005/)
The drum tracks, on the ordinary CD, are still better than most
recordings. Especially, for seeing if your system will
reproduce the impact of a drum set. I haven't heard the DXD iteration.
