Spectacular Drum Set?

There is some mighty fine drumming/percussion that is spectacularly well recorded on "Tony Dagradi Trio: Live at the Columns," Turnipseed (don't laugh) Music CD. This is a jazz trio (saxophone, bass, drums/percussion) recorded live in New Orleans in 1993. The music is fine and the sound is state of the art; for a dandy drum set, try track 7. An added small bonus: this is the only CD I've ever seen that carries the following note on the back: "Warning: Contains dynamic range which may damage your stereo, or at least make you want a better one."

Check out Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater. The modern day Neil Peart.

Don't overlook the various Jazz Festiival and performance DVD's as they generally cost just a few bucks more than cd's,but you get to see the performance.
