Fastest Foot Drumming in One Second

UPDATE: check the videos of DRUMRIVAL who has clearly beaten this record!

Youtube user ReeceRAWR requested a demonstration of my "1 second, 1 foot" record so I put this together to demonstrate it. Technically this is a world record as far as I know because WFD does not hold this event and there are no demonstrations of a faster run in the public forum.

Too bad I can't play this fast for a minute straight with both feet because it would be the equivalent of 390 bpm and 1,560 strokes! That would be something!

I'm sorry it's hard to see the numbers on the drumometer. I could see them perfectly in the quicktime file before I uploaded it. Didn't know youtube would muddy things up so much.


My personal records:
1 second, 1 foot = See video
1 minute, 1 foot = 670 on video
1 minute, 2 feet = 1,157
5 minutes, 2 feet = 5,239 on video
15 minutes = 14,034

What does being able to play fast accomplish, exactly? I'm all for the usage of triggers in order to play louder over an entire band, but hardly hitting the drum in order to achieve speed is kind of exploitation, in my eyes. Shannon Lucas, Roddy, Kollias, and the Charn all use triggers, but they also play with full-footed strokes.

@drums4life1100 The same thing as being able to run fast, or swim fast. It allows you to win competitions and have a goal to push for. Then a healthy side effect is having great chops to be able to play as fast as you creatively want when you are in a musical situation.

@Dreammotive Running and swimming fast are things you mostly train to do, i'll agree with you there, but there are many styles of music that you should learn to play without speed. Running and swimming only have running/swimming to stay in shape and running/swimming competitively. Would you be able to apply the techniques you've demonstrating here and be able to fit them in with a different type of music? How are your jazz chops? Latin? Funk? Rock? I see no practical use here, really.

@drums4life1100 I have a degree in percussion performance so Ive been through all the different styles. Metal is my favorite genre of music (of all non-fine-art) so I train to be the best metal drummer I can be. If my goal was to be a session drummer I would concentrate on diversity, if my goal was to be a great jazz drummer I would train for that. There are jazz drumming competitions and there are speed drumming contests. Its good because it gives people a hardline goal to meet

Just to clear up, that 1799 record was a hands record, not a foot. And you're right the video frames would not be fast enough on a standard camera, but the audio would. You can get a pretty good idea of how fast they are by listening to it. If it sounds about like 32nds at 225 bpm then we can safely say his count is not off by more than a handful. Yeah, I got some low ratings because a small group of guys ganged up on me and decided to hurt me in anyway they could. It will even out over time.
