CONTESTANTS SET NEW WORLD RECORDS
DURING WFD WORLD FINALS
AT
NAMM's 2007 WINTER SESSION!

Spectators were treated to one of the most exciting WFD events to date as contestants set 6 NEW WORLD RECORDS! Mike ‘Machine’ Mallais’s amazing foot speed enabled him to break 3 bass drum records! ‘Machine’ even slammed out a fiery 1,034 bass drums strokes in 60 completely annihilating Tim ‘Silver Feet’ Waterson’s 6 year old 1,030 singles record! ‘Machine’ now holds the following WFD World Records:

1,034 single stroke in 60 seconds
4,595 single strokes in 5 minutes
13,309 single strokes in 15 minutes


Mike Machine Mallais
becomes the World's Fastest Feet!

   

The girls also threw down hard to set 3 new WFD World Records! At barely 14 years old, Caitlin ‘Lead Foot’ Kalafus set two new WFD World records. Caitlin became the youngest person to ever hold a WFD World Record when she beat out a blistering 799 singles on the bass drum and taking the WFD World Record ‘Battle of the Feet’ (female division). Not to be out done, Miss WFD and Mystery Hangup drummer, Lux, showed some serious speed when she took the WFD World Record for the ‘Battle of the Hands’ (female division) with a exhilarating 901 singles in 60!

Click here to see Matt Smith unofficially break his age 16 and younger world record by running 1,083 on the Drumometer. Again, this is NOT an official WFD record.

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."
