In the 70s I had to do a couple of mercy dashes for a missing snare. I'd learned my lesson from then on until the drummer of an ex-band was unavailable for the final of a band competition and, having not gigged for a while at the time, I forgot my snare. I had to borrow one from another contestant. We won the comp and I felt a bit guilty because we wouldn't have won if the other drummer hadn't been gracious.
You covered brilliantly under difficult circumstances - jajaja!
