Mark’s temperato drum kit weighs two and a half tons and includes 813 individually assembled parts that the Lakeville, NY, resident can get to without taking a step. That’s a world record, according to the folks at OWR, who know about such things. Temperato, who goes by the name RevM, says he stores the kit – which took him 20 years to complete – at Lakeville’s Breath of Worship Church. The 56-year-old temperate works there.
