RE: Percussion Album – Any Good Ones?

Yim Hok-Man's "Poem of Chinese Drums" from my Burmester Vorfuhrungs (Demonstration) CD III always chases my dog out of the room. LOL!!

Depends on your taste in percussion music. Here are a few I like:

Evelyn Glennie - Drumming
Safri Duo - Works for Percussion, Goldrush
Babatunde - Love Drum Talk
Glenn Kotche (Wilco's drummer) - Mobile
Mickey Hart - Planet Drum

I also have several recordings that are mostly or exclusively marimba performances. I love the sound of that instrument.

Miles Gurtu is a terrific recording, dynamic, open, extended and detailed.

Trilok Gurtu's drumming along with Robert Miles on keyboard brings one of my favorite electronica albums I have heard.

There is a recording by Evelyn Glennie with the National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Leonard Slatkin. "The Music of Joseph Schwantner". It is superbly recorded and better than good, highly recommended. The last cut provides a narrative by Vernon Jordan of the words of Martin Luther King much of it referring to black history and slavery, very powerful stuff. Maybe this is what you are referring to?

Thanks for that recommendation, Tubegroover.

I love percussion music. My wife doesn't. C'est la vie.
