Good god, rehearsal was an absolute fiasco tonight. The drummer left most of his cymbals at home by accident.
Okay, so how does this happen? We share the practice space with another band. The two drummers share a practice kit, but usually bring their own cymbals, pedals and snares. Well, we were in a recording studio over the weekend, and Chris took his gear home rather than back to the rehearsal space. So Chris was in a hurry to get to work this morning, and it didn’t dawn on him that there’s only a crash and a ride at the rehearsal space. Naturally, this only happens at our last practice before a gig.
But I’m not too worried about that. Chris could probably go on vacation for a month, show up jetlagged and still do pretty well. He obviously struggled a bit working with barely any equipment - it was the equivalent of me showing up with nothing but a guitar and a few cables, but no amp or cabinet. I was laughing at him and calling him Ringo Starr all night.
Next Gig:
Jughead’s
5110 E. Camelback Road, Phoenix
Somewhere around 9 p.m.
