How does the drum kit sound on your rig?


-
I have heard it said that if you dial in the cymbals the rest takes care of itself. Do you find this to be true?

Can your system go BANG! I don't mean letting the magic smoke out but the sound - BANG!
Not thud, thump, pfud, pud, etc, but BANG like a gun or hammer hitting a piece of wood.

BANG!

sounds very good, best by far on the ohm 5s. as good as any rig i have heard. hard to
beat. no complaints. recording quality will vary though.
this was a goal well accomplished for my system.
I'm finally happy with the drums and I have Quad ESL57s... so it's not a thundering amount of bass drum but very realistic and, now that I've finally got my vinyl front end dialed in, very tuneful... which is a term I've seen written about but until now not really experienced. Cymbals are always excellent on the Quads!
With my JM Labs 1027's and Bryston 4b-ST drums sound very good and very realistic. They sound good with my OPPO 82 SE and my Amadeus TT. So yes, I am happy with how drums sound in my room. I am lucky that I have a drummer friend who helped me tweak and setup my system. I have made some changes since he was at my place so I can't wait for him to come by and listen for himself.
Well, I just listened to the Allman Brothers Band doing Mountain Jam (original "Eat a Peach" vinyl), and the dual drum kits of Butch Trucks and Jai Johnny Johnson sound pretty darn awesome. And after that, I played an old live Dave Brubeck LP, "Together Again for the First Time," and the drum solo by Alan Dawson on "Take Five" is incredible. Finally, Shelley Manne's drum kit on Sonny Rollins' "Way Out West" is fantastic, and I'm constantly enjoying the sounds of Mickey Hart playing the durms on my old Grateful Dead records.
Allman brothers Yea Baby. I have Eat a Peach and Live at the Fillmore East on original vinyl as well. As you say, the sound fantastic. Other bands that have powerful drums on my system are TOOL, and SRV.
