Most embarassing moment of my career: a couple of years back, i had a drumclinic where the audience consisted of around 200 well known professional drummers from all around finnish music scene. I got totally screwed in the ass by my cd-player, as the playalong tracks kept failing on me. Not only this, i also played badly.. As the bad luck doesn't end here, Finnish national TV-news also showed some clips from the clinic on prime-time news..
