My daughter practing snare, bells this aft......

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. 

Do any speakers out there sound ‘real’ like this?

I make speakers that use high-end prosound drivers, capable of delivering clean peaks north of 120 dB.

One of my sons is a drummer.

No way would I claim that my speakers can truly recreate the sound of a live drum kit.   A reasonable facsimile perhaps with a really dynamic recording, but that would be it.

Agreed that the recording is the limitation. Microphones are actually very good. The challenge is microphone placement! Drums sound different with less than a cm of microphone movement in any direction. Generally high overheads and a mix of close microphones works well but it is an art to get it to sound remotely like the real thing!

Drums also sound very different from the throne than from the audience. Sympathetic snare resonance can plague the drummer at the throne but audiences actually hear very little because of the way sound is projected.
