Time lapse - 582 drummers load into the NIA

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YQLhCL4AZ8

Here's a time lapse of 2009's World record breaking event Stick it to MS.

Stick around till the end to see what 582 drummers playing together sounds like.

Wow - what a sound!!!!

I wonder how many beats were hit with 582 drummers??? compared with how many beats I hit while doing the World record of 720 hours (assuming we both played at 120 BPM)

Anyone want to do the math? (I don't)
 
4 on the floor bass drums on the 120 would be 69,840 beats per minute, then 34,920 beats of the snare on the one and three, plus 139,680 hits with 1/8th notes on the hi hat. Total, 244,440 hits per minute on the drums. Lots of noise and rhythm. And playing the same rhythm or groove that you did they would have done your work in about 1 hour and 17 minutes, give or take.

Hi Rick, cheers for posting this. It was amazing to have taken part in this last year and I'm hoping you'll do another one at some point!

Ant :)
 
Wow, great record to have.
That put a big smile on my face.
Wanted to hear more than a few seconds though.
If someone tries that anywhere near California you bet I'll be there, with kit and carpet.

Here you go this should be of some help.

and if you'd like to hear a bit more here's another clip.

Found one in San Jose California. About a 40 minute drive for me. I need to try to get out of work though.
Oh well, hopefully I can go.
