Hey,
This is my CNN segment that fusssion was talking about on my other thread.
http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2007/11/12/news.to.me.extreme.drumming.cnn
It's a light WFD piece on a CNN Headline News show called News to Me, where they talk about the stuff you find on Internet culture. I thought it was well done, and talked about WFD in the right way. Boo McAfee and the host were pretty funny, and we let the host cheat with buzzes on his Drumometer run. That's why I was laughing.
I got called to do the interview because I only live about an hour from CNN. I told those guys about how I was really out of shape with the runs, that Tom Grosset was the hot guy now, had set the new 16 and under record and how he was now ranked higher than me, so they came up with this thing about me trying to beat the traditional grip record since I am still second in that to Mangini /they called traditional grip traditional hold/. They were saying that I was 2nd fastest in the world with traditional hold.
But you sit there in the pre interview stuff forever. So there was no warmup at all and you're laughing all the time. So needless to say I didn't have much of a run. But everybody played it up and I thought it was entertaining. Boo was happy with it too. And maybe when a network does something up north, Tom will get that one as he should.
CNN usually makes you sit through a small commercial before the segment comes on. Sorry about that.
