Kinda cool. Definitely, the cymbal was above the drums in the center.

Why not below the drums in the center?   There is no physical reason for hearing height with 2-channel stereo unless the speakers are above and below your listening position.  Maybe not the right 90° for optimal enjoyment.

In live sound as well as sound reproduction, the effects that produce the impression of dimension and direction take place within the listener and not in the sound source(s). The stereophonic signal does not, in itself, include the spatial, stereophonic effect.

All I know is that there was a large methane release in my bedroom the other night.  Probably took 3 or 4 years off the environment with regards to the viability of humans.
