The World Records Authority is proud to officially recognise Mark ‘RevM’ Temperato of Lakeville, NY, for constructing and operating the Largest (Non-Pedal-Operated) Drum Kit — a monumental achievement weighing 2.5 tons and featuring 813 individually assembled parts, including drums, cymbals, gongs, and auxiliary instruments, all accessible without taking a single step.

Mark’s extraordinary 20-year commitment has culminated in this truly staggering feat. His drum kit stands as a world-first in both complexity and scale, representing an unparalleled dedication to the art of percussion. Every element of the kit has been meticulously designed, constructed, and verified to meet the rigorous standards of WRA certification.

Our verification team has confirmed this record as a world-first in complexity and scale. We celebrate Mark’s incredible achievement and invite the world to discover more historical firsts at the official WRA website.
