My vintage drum machine died mid-set and honestly it improved the song

Brought my 1987 Roland TR-707 to an open mic in Portland last Friday and it started skipping on the third beat, sounded like a broken clock fighting a hiccup. I kept playing and the crowd actually laughed along, said it added character to my otherwise boring lo-fi track. Anyone else had gear fail in a way that made the performance better?

Keep the glitch in, record it through a boss pedal, and you've got a free remix for the next track.
