Excellent event for anyone into percussion, espescially drumming (der.. obviously!). For the oldies a superb opportunity to observer that the bedrock of ELP is still driving the scene. Steve playing alongside a carribean rhythm ensemble, Ian showing us the 'natural' drumming technique he picked up from just the top notch drum masters world wide, and of course Carl demonstrating a number of techniques and eventually bringing on the Carl Palmer band for a full set. Then all three drummers in a great showdown which included some of ELP greatest tracks. One of the best drum clinincs I ever attended. KevT
