essentially different in kind; not allowing comparison

a classical ballet dancer in flowing tutu practices graceful pirouettes while stretching at a portable barre. Right beside her, a heavy metal drummer pounds energetically on a drum kit with wild hair flying. The elegant dancer maintains perfect posture and delicate movements while the drummer thrashes with aggressive intensity. The ballet dancer's serene concentration contrasts sharply with the drummer's explosive energy and completely different musical style. Other performers in the background pause to notice how incredibly different these two acts are from each other. two essentially different performance styles that cannot be compared to each other
