How fast of a drum roll can the human hand and wrist be pushed to perform? 16 year old Tom Grosset executes 1186 single strokes in 1 minute and wins the 2007 Summer NAMM world speed drumming finals in Austin, Texas with 1,156 single strokes (that score is currently the highest score that's ever been recorded during a final championship round). This is simply amazing video, how anyone can move their hands that fast is beyond me!
More and faster cowbell.
Bump for later.....C
Mike Mangini beat that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7TzWrKso4I
Good find! I bet Tom’s a little disappointed! ;-(
Thanks, think I will save that for future use. It really says it all.
Are you from Meffa or Malden?

Strokes per minutes. Heh heh heh...
19.26 strokes per second.
I don’t know what either of those are.
I always though the one-armed drummer from Def Leppard was the fastest - he had to be.
My, my, ........... this guy will never need a date.
Just kidding.
