Stick It To MS
Yesterday (15 July) the Rhythm team headed up to Manchester for the world record attempt at the Stick It To MS event.
The day saw more than 700 drummers get behind the kit and lay down a groove all at the same time, setting a new record for the largest full drum kit ensemble in the process.

Before the record breaking, the hall of drummers was led through a batch of rock classics (including 'We Will Rock You' and AC/DC's 'It's A Long Way To The Top') by the house band of the day.

Plenty of young drummers did their bit for the cause and picked up their sticks.

There was plenty of fancy dress as well. We spotted the Super Mario Brothers, a banana, Animal and this guy.

We even had guitarists getting in on the act, as shown here by Total Guitar's Stu 'the human metronome' Williams keeping a rock steady groove.
