Try Master of Chinese Percussion - Yim Hok-man - crank it and listen carefully to the timbre. Sheffield Labs Drum Tracks 1 & 2 are useful too - again listen for timbre. Both should produce transients above 110 db at the listening position while still sounding effortless & clean (take an RS meter if in doubt). Both are available on XRCD.
CD's you bring for auditioning
Do you also have some CD's which you use to audition equipment and which will reveal immediately shortcomings, eg I use
Buddy Guy - Sweet Tea (first couple of tracks can be unbelievable hard to listen to on some equipment
Pink Floyd - DSOTM, checkout the bass, the clocks can sound 'washed' up on some over-tubed systems
Pink Floyd - The Wall , played at loud volume will immediately reveal shortcomings on loudspeakers
and yours...
