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 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.

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 (almost $33,000) for charity.
