He looks like he's going to pass out any second. Hope he does it though.

Still impressive though.

I wonder what drug he's on...

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

Ummmm...


He's not drumming right now...

 

[mynameismyname]

24 hours? Dudes arms are gonna fall off

 

[hybridsoldier23]

Why is the timer still going if he's not drumming anymore? Dude just got up and left...

 

[offwhitewhite]

Ummmm...


He's not drumming right now...

He's had professional drummers drop in and out to help stay focused. Chad Smith was just there. Yeah, I'm not sure what just happened. Maybe a bathroom break? 

 

[dt43]

WTH? I just saw him leave and come back while some other dude was drumming

 

[the hater boxden]

Andrew is not alone in his endeavor, though — he's got a bunch of special guests to help him out, including Marky Ramone, Liberty DeVitto, Chad Smith, Nick Jonas and Zac Hanson.

He's allowed a 5 minute break every hour so he literally doesn't die. These 24 marathons don't always end well.

 

[nawghtyhare]

well technically if he is taking breaks thats not drumming for 24hrs STRAIGHT

 

[shotsrangout]

wish i cared.

It is, according to Guinness Records. I'm pretty sure no one can do anything for 24 hours straight without a break. You will die.

so whats the point of this marathon if hes going to stop for 5minutes.

Well, those are the Guinness Records Rules. They would get sued out of existence by the amount of people getting hurt trying to do something for 24 hours straight. It can't be done. You need eat, drink, and use the bathroom. You can cause some serious damage to yourself.

I agree it isn't as impressive as 24 hours STRAIGHT but you have to be realistic.
