In 2012 Cymbal Guy made it to Broadway! The remote pedal version was first used in the pit of the Richard Rodgers Theatre for
the Tony-Award-Winning revival of "Porgy and Bess." It allowed Charles Descarfino, the show's drummer/percussionist,
to play the loud piatti crash at the beginning of the Overture just seconds before the xylophone solo.
Soon after it was also used in the Imperial Theatre for "Nice Work If You Can Get It." Cymbal Guy's crashes can be
heard on both cast albums.
"How did we ever get along without Cymbal
Guy all these years? (50 in the studios for me). Cymbal
Guy is happening - a 'must' for any serious working
percussionist!"
