Last Friday I was shooting the CD release party of Street Level by Nick Woodland (http://www.nick-woodland.de/).
It was not the first time I shot a concert of his band. But this was the most crowded ever.
Sold out. No place to move. So I only took a few images. But one of them stood out:

Sometimes luck shines ;-)
The whole set can be found here (http://images.afximages.com/Concerts/Nick-Woodland-Ampere-January/n-d2qcf4).

....and did he catch it?

Nice capture! Definitely some lucky timing, but the composition and exposure are top notch.
Though I am annoyed by flashy drummers, they certainly have better things to practice. That's just the band leader in me. :-X

Thanks!

LOL.. Usually drummers are so hidden and badly lit that I rarely get a god shot of them...
And with Nick's voice and typical stage appearance, even a flashy drummer can't outdo him.
One of the best parts of this concerts was the drummer starting a solo which was then then over by the base player and ended in them going back and forth...
This guy also plays in another band (http://images.afximages.com/Concerts/Organ-Explosion-Kulturstadl/i-RNW8bLL) where he really took center stage:

Shot last August.
He is really very good, and a relieve after having heard too many bands where the drummer beats everything to death instead of providing a strong foundation.

Very nice shots; I like the whole series. It's always fun to see low shutter speed concert shots.

Speaking of shutter speeds, what do you stick to for live music afx? I find 1/125 to be perfect. Fast enough to freeze faces while allowing some motion blur on quick moving limbs.
