"WORLD\92S FASTEST DRUMMER SETS NEW WORLD RECORD\94
Matt Smith Set a New Record of 1132 Strokes at WFD Event! See the video at WFDTV!

Event Host Drummer Johnny Rabb and WFD Creator Boo McAfee	Kevin Bernardy - Battle of the Feet Winner
Nashville, TN is definitely no stranger to WFD Speed Drumming World Records. In 2000 Johnny Rabb set the first ever WFD World Record by playing 1027 single strokes in 60 seconds. WFD (short for World\92s Fastest Drummer) is a highly charged, interactive phenomenon and has spread feverishly around the world. The contest consists of two categories, Battle of the Hands \99 and Battle of the Feet \99. As WFD has grown there has become a need for more regional grass roots events. The first WFD Regional event was held in conjunction with Drum League at The Rutledge in downtown Nashville on June 26, 2008 The evening was hosted by WFD Champ Johnny Rabb and WFD founder Boo McAfee. Although the event was intended to be regional, competitors traveled from as far away as Oklahoma and Canada. Music City heated up quickly as WFD Champion Matt \91the kid\92 Smith took center stage and broke the long standing \91traditional grip\92 World Record held by WFD Champ Mike \91da man\92 Mangini. Matt played an astounding 1132 single strokes in 60 seconds, breaking Mike Mangini\92s previous record by 6 strokes. The Battle of the Hands winner was Gary \91the skip\92 Skipper of Nashville, TN, with a score of 896 Singles. Tyler Boydstan placed second (845) while Big Frank placed third (816). The Battle of the Feet winner was Kevin Bernardy from Edmond, Okalahoma with an awesome score of 901 singles, followed by Ronnie McDowell Jr. (786) and Canada\92s Dan Laskowski (680). Keeping with the tradition of the much larger WFD World Finals and other extreme sporting events, of course there had to be that huge, gaudy WFD Championship Belt.. \93There were several wonderful stories that came out this first WFD Regional event. The Battle of the Hands winner, Gary Skipper has been competing at WFD since our very first WFD event, well over eight years ago. The Battle of the Feet winner Kevin Bernardy, who has competed for several years, drove all the way from Oklahoma. Special congrats go out to Kevin from our WFD family for he won on the third anniversary of his sobriety,\94 said WFD founder Boo McAfee. World\92s Fastest Drummer Competition is sponsored by PEARL, AXIS, PRO\B7MARK and REMO. \93We are extremely excited about all of the new ventures at WFD, especially the announcement of the game version of WFD called WFD, The Game and Extreme Music Game Challenges,\94 added McAfee.

Click here to see Matt with his jazz combo (featuring Toronto trumpeter Mike Malonein) performing at a concert. Matt states, "I mainly wanted to show this because a lot of us associated with WFD get slammed for not having decent taste with a group, and I think I was OK here. This video should also serve as an example to bass players to be straight for a gig. The changes got a little strange."

Click here to see Matt solo. Concerning the solo Matt says, "Although I'm not a big fan of my own drum solos, I felt like I needed to have one, and since everybody thinks I'm some kind of fast guy or something, I thought I would make this a drum solo that was kind of parody of alot of those kind of guys all smashed together, although the solo is not that fast. Maybe it worked, maybe not. Anyway, hope you like this stuff. Yeah, I know I'm not perfect for sure. But we all got to keep workin' at it I guuess."
