I went to this! And it was awesome! I still probably have the t-shirt somewhere.

This is my background music for work this morning. Matches my mood.
I was struck by how similar all the drum kits looked, but I was happy to spot one left-handed setup. Not sure I've noticed that before.

I was there too Darksong! It was incredible, probably the most mindblowing performance I've ever seen. I was thinking about it not too long ago and watched a bunch of videos on youtube, and it was even better than I remembered. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime sort of thing.

I saw 88 Boadrum in LA the following year, with 11 more drummers. Lying on the lawn, feeling the ground shake under me.
