Orthos and stats do percussion wonderfully. You have to do minor mods to orthos to get the best out of them. Stats are great right away although you need to connect them to a speaker amp.
Is D2000 fast and tight enough? Flo Mouniers, Derek Roddys etc... drumming is INTENSE, and so is the music they play on.
After playing some of their solo videos that are already compressed a good bit ( Derek Roddy drum solo , YouTube - Awesome drumming , sickdrummer.com - Flo Mounier ), it seems to me as they are fast and tight enough in the bass. But the cans themself are actually pretty loose, as in clamping-wise. These are definitely more of listening cans than slamming your head in 3 different directions at the same time kinda cans. The other place they didn't do so hot with at least one of Derek Roddy's recordings was the cymbals.
You would definitely be wanting a can with more highs to feel the music more... and more clamping force. That leads you to the Ultrasone 750 (which I have for sale) or the Beyer DT770.

Yup, but add in music and you might have a problem with muddying this up in the mayhem? Well, I guess Denons are good enough for keeping bass from interfering midrange too much, they should in that price range. But yes, Ultrasone Proline 750 is rather tight and sharp and also very strong in the deep bass. I never had problems with it muddying things up. Its bit metallic tonality and weak of lowermids is its only real faults.
Oh, and I love those clips. As a side note I love Dereks style. Its fast and intense, but he also has definetly something going on the cymbals (some pattern, "melody" and rythm) but its still forward going and easy to follow even. Flo Mouniers style never really opened for me, its too chaotic. Like he would be smashing things up (with technical precision and speed of course) just for the sake of smashing things up? Of course those clips are different, those Derek clips are from his old drum endurance training video and that Flo clip is just his jamming clip (and Derek has several of those aswell), but still...
