On Sunday, October 21, 2007, 438 drummers gathered to play drumsets simultaneously at the Texas BigBeat. Our goal was to raise money for Cherish Our Children International and to break the current Guinness World Record for the most drummers playing drumsets simultaneously. Although we missed out on breaking the record (533 drummers), we raised over $15,000 for educational programs for at-risk children and it was an awesome experience of the power of people coming together for a greater good.
When all 438 drummers played "Deep in the Heart of Texas" there were some teary eyes all around the arena. And when some of the children that we were raising money for shared about their lives, there were even more tears in sight.
