As part of this year’s O Music Awards festivities, Andrew W.K. plans to play the drums for a world record 24 straight hours. From an interview with O Music Awards:

Initially when it was presented, I think all I heard was there’s this chance for me to drum in Times Square. I was very excited about that — just any way I could physically be involved with the event was neat. And then I heard about the 24-hour aspect of it and it wasn’t really until four days ago that it really hit me –- like wait a minute, that’s a really long time, that’s a full day. It’s not as long as a year or even 48 hours, but I realized it’s not like drumming for 24 minutes or even 12 hours; it’s going to be very challenging. That sort of changed my whole point of view from being very excited to still being very excited but also very intimidated.

The event will take place on July 19th at the Oakley store in Times Square.
