I don’t know a lot about drumming but I once went to a concert that I thought was going to be classical music. It turned out to be very different and I had the opportunity to see/hear/feel a dueling drum performance of Buddy Rich and Louis Belson. The concert was at the Berklee School of Music and many students were there. I have to say it was an amazing experience.
You were very fortunate to attend the performance of two of the great jazz and big band drummers. Wish I could have been there!
