Congrats to Caitlin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Adrian for teaching what he does best. Dave I have to correct one thing... it was DOUBLE bass strokes, not SINGLE... It\'s a big difference... And it\'s still really difficult to pull off too...I might add!
"Friday January 19, 2007 - Day two of the NAMM show. We started the day at the "World\'s
Fastest Drummer"Booth where I recorded 749 hits with my feet in 1 minute..."
"Saturday January 20, 2007- Day three of the NAMM show... the best day of all. Once again we started off the day at the "World\'s Fastest Drummer" booth and I got 787. I stopped for a while to rest my legs but when I came back I got 792..."
-From Caitlin\'s page...
(I underlined the obvious)
I just saw this page....I didn\'t see it back when it was posted in February so I thought I\'d set the record straight on the WFD event. SINGLE stroke means no bouncing of the pedal. So yes....Caitlin did play with
two feet but each stroke was individual. When drummers play a drum roll with their hands they let the stick bounce and get a buzz roll effect. Drummers can do the same technique with their feet. That is not allow in the WFD contest. You must play each stroke once...thus the
single stroke terminolgy.
Anyway....the "World\'s Fastest Drummer" contest has been great for publicity but the record itself doesn\'t mean much...Caitlin knows that. It\'s like being able to hit a golf ball 350 yards...That\'s a long way but it doesn\'t mean you can beat Tiger Woods. Caitlin knows that being a total musician like Adrian, Tim and Ron is where it\'s at. She\'s so lucky to be able the jam with them.....
Peace, Chris
