He had to play recognisable tunes and not repeat any song within four hours, while for each hour he played he was allowed a five-minute break.

Stephen McLoughlin, who owns the music shop where Allister\'s successful record attempt took place, says:

\"A couple of times Allister didn\'t know where he was and he was hallucinating, but he kept on going and it was amazing to see him do it.\"

Allister Brown previously held the record in 2003 when he drummed for 58 hours and 17 minutes, and in 2004 when he drummed for 78 hours.

This time Allister had to play more than North Canton, Ohio based drummer Link Logen, who held the previous record with 86.5 hours. Link had set this record only several weeks before Allister\'s attempt.

With his attempt to get into the record books again, Allister also raised thousands of pounds along the way for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
