Check out the website: Stick It To MS 2012
Following the success of a record breaking event in 2009, Stick It To MS are aiming to break their own record by getting 800 drummers together in Manchester this Summer.
The event, taking place on Sunday 15th July 2012 at EventCity in Manchester, will also be raising money for The MS Society - they raised over £60,000 in 2009.
The record, currently 582 held by Stick It To MS, is for Largest Full Drum Kit Ensemble. You will be required to play a simple beat of three bars, followed by a bar consisting of a 16th note fill, for five minutes. The beat can be found here. (The same, or similar, video will be shown on the day, too).
There will be plenty of stuff going on during the day, though, not just the record attempt. Some of the drummers from the 2009 event included Karl Brazil (James Blunt), Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree), Jojo Mayer and Cold Feet star John Thomson.
There is a FAQ thread on the StickItToMS forums here.
Also, don't forget to check out the page (link at the top of this post) for all the details and to register!
They're over halfway at the moment and it's first come, first served, so don't waste time.
