Poems of Thunder: One of Its Own
This album is a very unique item, perhaps I should say it is one of its own kind. Unlike any another music CDs, the soul in all the compositions contained in this album have one thing and one thing in common. That is, the drum beats. Yim Hok-Man is a well known Chinese drum master. His album has the ability to give a great presentation of traditional Chinese music to the world audience, because nothing else is more outspoken than the "Poems of Thunder" which features different styles of drum play from different regions in China.

Excellent and exciting music.
This is a wonderful album of world music, best enjoyed through a premium audiophile sound system. Warning! If you buy this album, put aside a few thousand dollars for stereo equipment upgrades and a powerful and durable subwoofer, you will be glad you did!
