Ali (Allistair) is the World record holder Endurance Drummer from Belfast, Northern Ireland. He went without sleep for a week setting a new world record by drumming continuously for 150 hours and entered the Guinness Book of World Records for the third time.

Ali got his first kit at the age of 2. He broke the individual drumming marathon in 2003 playing for 58 hours and 17mins, inviting him to sign the 100 millionth copy of the Guinness Book of Records along with many other record breakers.

In 2004 he achieved 78 hours in a drum marathon.

In 2008 Ali broke the world record standing at 86 hours by playing for 102 hours and 49 minutes.

He has also reached the 100 hour mark as part of a group in Portugal in 2017 when 5 drummers from around the world met up and played together for the full 100 hours. All record attempts have been raising thousands of pounds for many charities close to his heart.

He did snare drum rolls, which lasted 22 hours in 2016 in memory of his cousin who passed away of neuroblastoma at the age of 7.

Along with other drumming world record attempts Ali has played with many local bands such as Universal Remedy, having the privilege to support The Futureheads, The Pigeon Detectives and Supergrass.

In 2019 Ali played a 24 hour drum marathon on 13th April for the NHS and Keyworkers raising £2500.

The NHS is important to Ali as his late partner Sharon was suffering with a serious cancer illness and dealing with treatment for over 3 years. Sharon passed away in January 2021.

He took part in Drumathon 2020 and 2021 for NHS charities, which saw the events raise more than £45,000 by playing for 24 hours with drummers from Coldplay, Kaiser Chiefs, Simple Minds, The Kooks, The Feeling, Hans Zimmer, Kasabian, Imagination, Odyssey, Spice Girls, Jamiroquai, The Cure etc.

Mental health has been tough for Ali as he dealt with Sharon’s illness and her passing. He is more focused than ever to help others and raise awareness / money for various charities
