GUILDFORD – A group of 35 drummers have participated in a drummathon to raise money for dental charities in the UK. The musicians played for a total of 70 hours and managed to break the Guinness World Record for the Longest Marathon Drumming by a Team. The donations will support projects of the British Dental Health Foundation, Heart Your Smile and Bridge2Aid.
To break the current world record, each drummer played for two hours continuously between 12 p.m. on 10 July and 10 a.m. on 13 July at the Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM) in Guildford. The aim was to beat the existing world record of 66 hours set in Coventry four years ago by at least four hours.
In addition, the participants aimed to raise funds for well-known British dental charities. “I'm so excited to bring together my two passions—drumming and dentistry. We'll be supporting the Clean My Teeth campaign and raising money for the British Dental Health Foundation, Heart Your Smile and Bridge2Aid,” oral health campaigner and drummathon organiser Ian Aguado-Bush said before the event. “The British Dental Health Foundation does an amazing job of improving oral health. The Clean My Teeth campaign aims to improve the oral health of one million children around the world. We aim to do this by educating people, and that's exactly what the Foundation does. Raising money for them was an easy choice, and I hope to raise as much money as I can.”
Chief Executive of the Foundation, Dr Nigel Carter, OBE, said: “Ian has done an amazing job organising the event. I'd also like to thank everyone raising money for the Foundation. Their support is invaluable.”
Not only did the drummers break the world record, they also received many donations. “From start to finish, it has been emotional and I can’t get over the amount of support I have had from both ACM, their students, staff and tutors, and my friends. We have raised a lot of money for the three charities involved, which will enable them to continue their great work,” Aguado-Bush stated.
