Good subject. I suggest slowing down the shutter speed to to get motion in the sticks. That would give a stronger sense of motion and sound.

Good drum capture. Slightly strange to see all those people with no heads (you could probably make a horror story out of that if you were so inclined (but that's probably just the sleep dep talking)), but the focus should be on the drums, so it makes sense. Evokes the challenge well. It's maybe a little too busy, but I'm not sure what you could have done to lessen that impression.

Good feeling of sound. Good contrast and great croping. Good job!

great detail. i'd like to see some faces, or a shot from the top down of the drums.
