The Furutech Rhodiums or Oyaide Gold/Palladiums on the AirSine, should get you to where you want to be. Many like the Gold WattGates in SS systems because they have a bit more warmth, and put a bit more "meat on the bones". However, for tubes, the Rhodium Furus, Oyaide Palldiums, or even the Oyaide gold/gold might be a better fit for this piece.

I've been a drummer/percussionist for nearly 27 years, and place great emphasis on the accurate reproduction in this area. It's much more difficult to nail percussion and cymbals accurately, and a better barometer of a system's performance than the usual "female vocal" references many refer to, IMHO.
