My name is Eric Carr and I hold the following world record titles
0:10
Most drumstick spins in 30 seconds with one hand. Most bass drum beats in one minute
0:16
Most drumming backsticks executed in one minute. Now I have all 12 of these world records right here
0:26
I have quite a bit of experience drumming and the reason I even attempted all these records was actually for content for my YouTube channel
0:37
So in my search for the next hit video, I decided to take on some of Guinness's World Records
0:46
I've been drumming for 26 years. I started in the elementary school band and just fell in love with it right away
0:52
I then went on to major in music performance, got my master's degree
0:56
I won a spot in the United States Marine Corps Drum and Bugle Corps
1:00
And now I do content creation, playing some of the craziest and wildest drum solos you have ever seen
1:08
So the way I trained for all these records is put on the metronome
1:13
So when I'm trying to flip my drumstick, I want to be exactly in time
1:17
We got 100 beats per minute right here. Flip, flip, flip, flip
1:20
I'll bump the tempo up a little bit. We're at 110 here
1:24
So flip flip flip flip And I just keep going until I see if I mess it up or not Yeah Consistency is key when practicing these records Getting all of my flips just in time as fast as I possibly can go without making mistakes
1:40
The hardest one to break was definitely the most drumstick flips in 30 seconds
1:45
Now this was actually a record that I had previously broken with a score of 55
1:50
but then somebody else broke it with a score of 65. Yeah, that is quite a lot faster. So I had to really work to get my stick flipping up to par. That one was tough, but I got it
2:00
I am a very competitive person. You know, I want to be number one
2:04
I want to be the very best and I strongly believe that that mindset is mandatory when you're trying to break a Guinness World Record
2:11
You need to have the drive and also the discipline and motivation to really push yourself
2:16
128. I am very very proud of all 12 of my Guinness World Record titles, but I'm still hungry for more
2:26
I honestly think that most experienced drummers could break any of my records if they really put the time and commitment into it
2:33
Challenge you all to break my record. I do believe that everybody has at least, you know, some drive to be the best
2:42
For me, breaking all these world records, it's a huge sense of accomplishment
2:47
Who knows? Maybe you will break a Guinness World Record in the process
