WFD Netherlands Cor Jansen Passes the Drumsticks to Barry Kruik
Cor Jansen passed the torch, or drumsticks so to speak, to Barry Kruik officially making him the new Director of World's Fastest Drummer of The Netherlands. Jansen has been the head of the WFD branch since 2016 when he introduced the WFD to the Netherlands. Having taken the top at the WFD Finals twice, was a perfect candidate for the job. He has reliquished his position and dubbed Kruik as his successor. Kruik, owner of De Scheveningen Muziekschuur as well as a drumming instructor, is now officially the new Director after a ceremonious moment (shown above) when Jensen handed over his drumsticks and made it official.
