While some people started new hobbies like baking during the pandemic, a man from Moose Jaw set his eyes on breaking a world record instead. Jared Dormer made it into the Guinness World Record list by playing his cajon drum for almost 26 hours. Breaking a world record was always in the back of his mind, he said, and COVID-19 gave him the time to check out what drumming world records were out there. Jared Dormer, a musician from Moose Jaw, set a world record in January for playing the cajon for the longest time. Then it took another three months to get the official Guinness World Records certificate in his mail.
