It had more to do with the luck of the timing and knowing the song -- and since the music had stopped, the drummer had, too, so I was able to "get away with" a shutter speed of "only" 1/160.

Moreover, in addition to usually being in the back of the stage, in the least light, and behind cymbals, rock drummers are such are a delight to photograph because their heads, hands, sticks, hardware, cymbals, and (when applicable) hair are each moving at its own private personal exclusive individual shutter speed!!!
