Spectacular Drum Set?


Could any of you guys recommend a truly spectacular, explosive drum set on CD, recorded in state-of-the-art, demonstration-quality sound?

I started this thread months ago and had almost forgotten about it until just recently, when I heard the spectacular drum set to end all spectacular drum sets. A friend who went to CES in January came back with a demo CD from Usher Audio that was evidently being given away at CES. Track two is a seven-minute drum/percussion set, identified only as "Jim Keltner: Improvisation," which will rot your socks. Absolutely amazing, and an audiophile's dream: this has to be the best-recorded percussion set ever. At the end the drummer grunts quite audibly, as if to say "Take that!" I don't know where this track came from; perhaps one of you guys can identify it. But it's well worth seeking out.
Hey Tex - Remember my first suggestion - The Sheffield Drum Record - Guess what - it's started with "Improvisations by Jim Keltner".
Tool, Rush and Dead Can Dance have some incredible drums on just about every album.
Joey Baron is among the greatest stickmen out there. His work on Masada 8: Live in Seville is a true testament to his artistry. This is also a spectacular sounding recording. True drumset in your listening room level stuff.
Mark Brzezicki (Big Country) on just about anything. There are a couple tracks on "Peace in Our Time" that are astounding. For pocket playing, soulfulness, and a relaxed but explosive power, I don't think Brzezicki can be topped. Sorry, but he makes Jim Keltner sound like he's asleep.
