(NTDTV)
It’s not an ideal place to seek peace and solitude.
But 582 drummers smashed the world record for playing their instruments to the same beat at the same time.
The record attempt at Birmingham’s National Indoor Arena was to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis.
Radio DJ Ian Dunter, seen here on the right, and former Slade drummer Don Power, in the middle, were amongst the participants.

The charity “Stick It To MS” was only launched in January and has already raised over 30,000 (U.S.) dollars.
The event was expected to raise a further 50,000 dollars.
The drummers smashed a previous world record of 533 set in the United States.
