AudiogoN Forums: the natural sound of a cymbal

the natural sound of a cymbal

i am looking for recoordings which fearure cymbals.

besides maplesahde, can anyone suggest labels or artists which produce a very natural sound of a cymbal ?

i find the sound of a cymbal a good test of the upper midrange and treble frequencies of a stereo sytem and having a recording to use to evaluate the aforrementioned frequencies is an invaluable tool when listening after changing components.

thanks for your suggestions
