Drum Tech Save-- Todd Sucherman and Mark Petrocelli snare swap at Styx show

Thirty seconds— my tech, Mark Petrocelli saved me last night in Calgary. (10-9-22) In the encore (“Renegade”) I blew the snares off the bottom of the drum drum. I looked back and motioned for him to come up with the spare snare drum. As I stood up to move over to play the bass drum with my left foot, I unplugged my in ear monitors out of the pack—leaving me in total silence—all music and sound gone. Mark came up and changed the snare and I was telling him that he had to “plug me back into the monitor pack” as I attempted to play through total silence. Thirty seconds is all it took. Paulie would be very proud of you. Beautiful job, Mark!
