Cocktail On TV Tonight!

Hey Kids,

A last minute announcement!

You can see me play cocktail kit tonight (Thursday Night/Friday AM) with Melissa Errico at around 12:37 am on the Pat McEnroe coverage of the US Open. I usually play full kit on this gig but the studio is so small that they asked me to play cocktail!

So if you see this message tune in to:

CBS Sports
12:37 am , on Thursday night/ Friday Morning 9/5
It's a half hour show and we will be on sometime in the middle.

Let me know if you see it!

John

Hope it went well!!!

Yeah sorry about the short notice. i didn't find out until we were there when it would air! I'll try and get the video footage... but in the meantime, here's some pictures! I needed a closed hihat so it forced me to figure something out that I've been meaning to do! two gibraltar cymbal clamps and a small clamp to attach the hihat to one of them. It worked out great!
