And the real live sound is amazing.....does your home system/speakers have that real live sound ? - the attack of the snare or the clarity and decay of the bells.
Acoustic Zen Adagio have crystalline highs , Just picked up a pair this afternoon and have spent the last few hours with them . Very impressive for $1300 on the used market .
However, few if any recordings sound like being close to someone practicing on a live snare in a domestic setting. Recordings are almost always compressed - especially snare. Live music is almost always more dynamic.
Try Sheffield Labs drum track test CD on your setup and see how close it sounds.
Even better, the Sheffield Labs Track album on direct-to-disk LP. The CD was made from an analog recorder running at the same time as the d-t-d master was being cut on a lathe, straight from Doug Sax's mixing console.
