Hiya. So I had an idea about your values and colours: separate the image into three or four distinct layers according to how close things are to the viewer. Give the 'closer' layers (eg the drummer and her closest drum) a light value range, and give the furthest layers a dark value range. And limit the range of value that each of these layers has, so that no layer goes really bright and really dark at the same time. Also, saturate the closer areas, and desaturate the further areas.

This sort of assumes, of course, that the light source is a) next to viewer and b) warm light, not cool.

But here's how my idea looks:




I think it reads better, but it might not be your preference. It's just how I'd go about things. Good luck with the piece :)
