After more than 25 hours of continuous drumming in a retail store, Aaron Katz broke the world record that was previously set by rocker Andrew WK this June in Manhattan's Time Square.

Aaron drummed using wands specially created by Wynott's, meaning that he has technically also set the record for longest drum session with wands. Comments the tired but happy drummer:

"I can honestly say without any hesitation that the experience was one of the greatest of my life. The day combined everything in life that makes me truly happy. Music, friends, family, musicians, food, dancers and spirituality all coming together to support the mission of keeping music and positive influence in the lives of kids."

Aaron has the entire event documented and will present it to Guinness in order to make the record official.

About $1,200 was raised in donations during the drumathon, bringing the total raised by Aaron so far to $2,500 - halfway to the $5,000 goal he has set.

The money from the event goes to the Boys and Girls Club's music program, which Aaron Katz and Dejas' band mate Callie Lipton have worked with as volunteers over the past two years.
