A Peterborough boy was part of what may be a Guinness world record for the most drummers playing the same beat at one time over the weekend.
Drew Phillips, a 13-year-old drummer with Full Throttle, took part in "The Big Beat 2008" in Toronto on Sunday.
This is an annual charitable event that raised money for the Daily Bread Food Bank and was held at The Sound Academy at Polson Pier.
The idea was for drummers to gather at the same time as thousands of others in communities across North America and to break the record for the most drummers doing the same beat.
This year's Big Beat events took place in eight cities across the United States and in Toronto.
The event drew 85 drummers from Toronto and area.
It's believed up to 3,000 participated in total. Final numbers have yet to be determined.
Meanwhile, Full Throttle is set to perform at Fairmount Public School in Whitby today. Full Throttle is also hitting Haggarty Sound Studio this month to record a debut CD.
