A juris doctor graduate from the Fordham School of Law, John Hornbostel is now an associate general counsel for Franklin Templeton Investments in New York City. John Hornbostel also enjoys playing the drums.
In 2013, the Guinness Book of World Records certified that a reverend named Mark Temperato (RevM) of Lakeville, New York, owned and played the largest drum set ever assembled on earth. Weighing in at a dramatic 5,000 pounds, the drum kit included a total of 813 pieces. Even more impressive, RevM can play every piece from one seated position.
Requiring 20 years to put together, RevM surpassed his old record by 450 pieces. In other words, his drum set is more than twice the size of the next largest. Consisting of cymbals, drums, cowbells, and other assorted percussion pieces, RevM spends as many as 17 hours a week maintaining this behemoth.
In case anyone is concerned that RevM is going to rest on his laurels, Guinness representatives confirmed that he was already devising a scheme to make it even bigger.
