Indonesian drums for 72 hours, new world record

Jakarta - An Indonesian musician who played the drums for 72 hours was declared to have broken a world record.

Kunto Hartono, 26, ceased drumming on Thursday after four days without stopping for more than 20 minutes at a time.

He was declared the holder of the national record for longest drum-beating and Tourism Minister I Gde Ardika said he had also broken a world record of 58 hours held by Allister Brown of Britain.

"The Indonesian nation is proud to have a son like Kunto, who has strong determination to show that this nation is strong and capable," Ardika said on television.

Hartono is seeking to be included in the Guinness Book of World Records. -- AFP News
