Drum corps vet breaks drum roll world record
Jayson Brinkler, an eight time DCUK champion and snare drummer with the Dagenham Crusaders and Blue Eagles, broke the Guinness World Record on Saturday 16th May in Dartford - England to beat the world's longest individual drum roll of 12 hours and 3 seconds, to set a new record time of 12 hours, 5 minutes and 5 seconds.
The record, which raised money for the Royal Masonic Trust for Girls and Boys, must be continuous without a single break, was first brought to Jayson's attention back in August of 2014, when a post on Facebook appeared on his timeline of someone attempting the drum roll record, but failed, and thought he could do better.
Jayson, a DCE and DCI alumnus, and sponsored by Tama Drums, thought it would be a fitting way to mark his 30th anniversary year in drum corps by bringing the record to the UK and the drum corps community for the first time - breaking it using a pair of drum sticks he has had for 30 years to mark his anniversary year.
