DRUM GENIUS Name: Pritish Heroic feat: Breaking the Guinness World Record for most drumbeats in a minute using drumsticks! FAST FOUR WITH PRITISH K-Z: Hi Pritish! When did you start to learn to play with a drum kit? P: I started drumming when I was five. My mum knew that I was interested in music ever since I was a baby, so she took me to a music bus when I was in Kindergarten. I loved the loudness of the toms, and I loved drums more than any other instrument because I use both hands and legs at the same time – other instruments just use one or two hands. K-Z: Why did you attempt the record? P: My mum showed me the Guinness World Records website, and also the…

IF I HAD A SIMILAR ABILITY, I WOULD WANT TO TRANSFORM INTO… A snake, because they’re really agile and I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be a snake, just slithering around. Also, if I turn into a snake, I wouldn’t make a big mess like Mei when she turns into a giant red panda. MEI IS A FAN OF THE BAND 4*TOWN, BUT I’M A BIG FAN OF… K-pop. I don’t collect K-pop merchandise, but I do collect rocks, like gemstones – specifically agates. It started when I chose agates for a geology presentation. MY FAVOURITE 4*TOWN SONG IS… The song in the end credits; Mei loves to sing that song with her friends as well. WHEN I FOUND OUT I WOULD PLAY MEI… I was so…
