Dayyamm... his technique is incredible, and about halfway through, he started
communicating. Very impressive. How old was he when that was shot?
Interesting that he's wearing "shock cups"... back when I used to gig out a lot, I tried earplugs, but I couldn't "get into it" with them, so I gave it up. Messed up my left ear a little, but oddly enough, it was not from the drums, but from the monitor wedge. I always asked for a lot of guitar, kick and snare- mostly guitar. I think it was because the guitar player never had a very loud amp. To this day, sometimes a live guitar will cause a little distortion in that ear...
best thing to use is an in-ear or headphone setup (don't need as much volume usually), but that wasn't available at the time...
