'I didn't even notice and issue until I saw Jess on stage switching the snare'
Scouting Sessions - March 2025
The drummer had sliced through the beater head with their drumstick, causing it to fly through the air and hit the bass player. The drummer started to signal to the band whilst continuing to play the broken snare. I noticed the stick flying and the panic in the drummers face, and tried to signal to the drummer to understand what happened.
The song had ended and overheard the drummer say to the band 'the snare broke'. I then remembered the house snare on standby at the opposite end of the stage, so had to cut through the audience and back onto the stage to climb up. This is where FOH saw me. I grabbed the snare and waited for the drummers signal to replace.
I saw the signal and jumped down to the stage, took the mics off the broken snare, and handed the new one to the drummer and stuck the mics on. This all happened within 10 bars of the song. At the end of the set, FOH asked what happened and I said their snare broke. He praised me for the quick thinking and turnaround to keep the show going.
Other bands came up to me during their changeovers to comment how impressed they were of my quick replacement. I dont think I would have registered and acted as quickly if I hadn't completed all those fast-paced festivals.
