A 20-year-old American from Iowa broke Eli Bishop’s previous record of 1,103 claps in a minute by clapping 1,140 times in a minute. Speed clapper Dalton Meyer claimed that his interest in speed clapping was spurred by a YouTube video of Kate French, who was formerly the fastest clapper in the world.
Meyer told, “It felt like I didn’t even have to practice; it came effortlessly to me.” Regarding the record for “most claps in a minute,” he claimed, “Really, I simply for some way knew how to achieve it.”
Meyer said that he used the wrist-clapping method created by Bishop, the previous record holder with 1,103 claps in one minute, for his official Guinness World Record attempt.
Good measure
Meyer’s attempt to break the Guinness World Records was made possible by the Illinois-based Charm Media Group, which provided photographic gear to make sure it was correctly captured in both real-time and slow-motion.
He collaborated with the business to ensure that the effort was recorded with the correct audio so that Guinness could count and confirm his 19 claps per second.
The speed clapper said that despite staging the attempt back in March, the record-keeping organization didn’t get in touch with him until Halloween.
