Just found this. The kettle drum has more sustain than most other kinds of drum, so it can be used in a different way. I know Ringo plays it on at least one Beatles song ("Every Little Thing"), maybe more.
Anyway, this is a neat little kettle drum composition. For most of it I didn't know if there was anyone else in the room besides whoever was holding the camera, so it was gratifying to hear the applause at the end.

Are duelling kettle drums a thing now? People actually write drum compositions? I never guessed.
At first I thought I was seeing closed window blinds behind the players until I recognized them as blank musical staves on a whiteboard, unfortunately, in a music classroom with very poor acoustics. I kept waiting for someone to come and turn over the music sheets for them.
