Now that's a massive hit: 582 drummers play their way to a new world record

They are the hellraisers of the music world.

But the 582 drummers who drummed together yesterday shunned the example
of the likes of The Who's Keith Moon and Led Zeppelin's John Bonham to work
together in perfect harmony.

They beat out the same rhythm for five minutes to set a new world record.

Hitting a new record: 582 drummers assembled at the National Indoor
Arena and beat the same rhythm for five minutes, setting a new world record

The efforts at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, sanctioned by Guinness
World Records, beat the previous record of 533 set by a group of U.S. drummers
in 2006.

The record attempt was organised to increase awareness of multiple sclerosis
and succeeded in raising £20,000 for charity.

And not one of them pounding away to the correct beat!! It's a good thing this was for for a very good cause otherwise I'd have to start posting my drummer jokes again!!

Jojo Mayer. Hands down. One of the most unique and talented drummers I've ever got the privilege of seeing play.



Can't touch that technique. He's kind of an odd fellow, though.

Most influencial drummer of all time? Ron Wilson.











He was the drummer on a little tune you may remember called Wipeout !!!!!

I have to go with Richard John Cyril "Rick" Allen. How many drummers can come back to make even bigger hit albums after losing an arm?

Its kinda funny...

I mentioned to Neil many months ago, that we should go for a guiness record for playing a tune....so someone out their who wants to research this ...lets start the ball rolling...

What tune? Something everyone can play I hope or its going to be hard to find enough players.

John Renbournes lesser known dittys or an "easy Neil composure"

check these drummers out a bit different, amazing choreography
