DRUMMER BRANDON ROSS MACPHERSON PLAYED A SOLO INSIDE A "GLOBE OF DEATH" AS TWO BIKERS ZOOMED PAST HIS HEAD AT 40MPH IN A HEART-STOPPING STUNT 09:20, 29 May 2025 This is the moment

a musician executed the world's most perilous drum solo inside a "globe of death", with two motorbikes whizzing hair-raisingly close by at 40mph. Drummer Brandon Ross

Macpherson reportedly made history as the first individual to play an instrument within the steel sphere that's traditionally the centrepiece for circus stunt riders' climactic

acts. The heart-stopping clip of the extraordinary feat shows Brandon at his drum set, located at the epicentre of the globe, while two bike riders hurtle past mere inches from him. READ

is a lot of trust needed between me and the two riders as one false move could have devastating consequences." He stated: "It's death-defying, one wrong move and that could be

it. Two bikes and a drum kit locked in a cage, if that goes wrong it's a big deal." In the video, Brandon is seen hammering out Arctic Monkeys' hit 'Brianstorm' as

stunt riders Yaxson David Cation Sanchez and Jamil Avanzi Silva gun their bikes at dizzying speeds. These daredevil manoeuvres take place during the Circus Extreme show, where the bikers

perform loops both vertically and horizontally, enduring G-forces likened to those felt by jet fighter pilots. Brandon joined the circus following his father's legacy, mastering the art

of knife-throwing, and now he's embraced his role in the show full-time. He enthused: "Whenever I had time off school I would visit my dad whilst he was on tour with various

circus shows performing his knife throwing act, which is were my passion for performing stems from, he is a huge inspiration for me. "Now I can't believe this is my job. It's

nerve-wracking and you get anxious at times - but it's an incredible feeling. "You'll be on the edge of your seat, you'll have to sit for a minute and process what is

going on in front of you. "It defies gravity for starters, you won't see anything like this at any other show in the UK. It's a rush. It's mad. "But that's what

circus is about, it's a different way of life." This year's production is especially thrilling with the introduction of a live rock band that sees Brandon taking on a drum

solo 5m (16ft) high on a spinning platform. Circus boss Anthony Anderson remarked: "Our audiences absolutely love Brandon. "At Circus Extreme, we're all about stretching the

limits of human capability to deliver top-notch entertainment and today's astonishing stunt gives just a hint of the spectacular to expect." Article continues below With its
