tough sounds to reproduce ???

the tribal drums at the end of the Peter Gabriel song Rythym of the Heat will test many amplifiers and systems - off Peter's 4th album (Security)

as to reproducing musical nuances - yes piano is tough, good way to evaluate cassette tape decks in the old days
percussion can be taxing, and the resonant wood sound of a nice stand up bass can be difficult to do righ ton inferior systems

the marching band moving by was recorded well in the early eighties (I recall a B&O sales rep giving a demo, too bad his speakers were so bad).

I live in new orleans (northern transplant) and marching band noises and passings are not uncommon here around mardi gras

must agree on the piano harmonics and strings - digital strings just are not the same as analog
