DAVID GROHL’S EPIC 3-DAY DRUMMING MARATHON SHATTERS WORLD RECORD, RAISES $1 MILLION FOR MUSIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS WORLDWIDE
In an electrifying display of rock ‘n’ roll endurance, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has taken the music world by storm, breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest drumming marathon by a single artist.
Grohl, 54, pounded away at his drum kit for an astonishing 72 hours, 5 minutes, and 42 seconds, playing an estimated 100,000 beats and entertaining a live audience of thousands.
The event, held at Los Angeles’ iconic Greek Theatre, featured special guest appearances by Taylor Hawkins’ son, Oliver Hawkins, and other music legends, including Questlove and Chad Smith.
Grohl’s marathon drumming extravaganza raised an impressive $1 million for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts’ Arts Education program, supporting music education initiatives worldwide.
“I’m so honored to have been able to do this for the kids,” Grohl said, exhausted but exhilarated, as he accepted the Guinness World Record certificate. “Music changed my life, and I’m so grateful to be able to give back.”
The event has sent shockwaves throughout the music industry, with fans and fellow musicians alike praising Grohl’s incredible feat.
“Dave Grohl is the ultimate rockstar,” said Taylor Hawkins’ son, Oliver Hawkins. “I’m so proud of him, and I can’t wait to see what he does next!”
