A man from Northern Ireland, in the city of Lisburn, broke the world record by playing the drum for a long time.
45-year-old Allster Brown recently broke the record by surpassing his previous record of 134 hours and 5 minutes, making him over 150 hours.
He finished “beating these drums” on Saturday after the feast, which he had begun on Monday, and he preached it for more than a week.
Brown did this as a way to remember his friend Sharon Deegan, who died of colon cancer in the first month of 2021, at the age of 49.
Speaking at a music venue in Lisburn on Saturday after the event, where he has been making his three pledges, Brown said it was “hard work”.
He says that Deegan’s memory, along with being held on the back by his friends, is what made him do the job well.
He says: “I am grateful to everyone who supported me.
“Every day I have this thought in my mind, I want to do this in Sharon’s memory.”
Brown has broken the record twice for the longest time, first in 2003 when he played for 58 hours, before he surpassed that in 2008 when he played for 103 hours, and now for the third time when he played for 150 hours.
According to Guinness World Records, Brown was allowed a five-minute break every hour.
He didn’t rest when his five minutes behind the clock were forced to let him rest for a long time.
But until Friday morning, five days after trying to break the pledge, Brown’s friends and the manager of the site, Duncan Campbell, said that the man had slept only two hours in the process of trying to break the new world pledge.
