World's fastest hand 02-03-2007

The world's fastest hand plays in our drum corps.

When speed was measured at an American drumming contest, Swede Claes Malmberg proved to have the fastest hand in the world, at 1070 beats per minute.

Claes Malmberg has a background in Swedish and American drumming. Lars Östlund has been his instructor.

Claes started Scottish pipe band drumming last autumn and competes with our band from the 2007 season.
