According to the @RyersonNews Twitter feed, on Wednesday afternoon 1,003 cowbell-ringers unofficially set a world record for the largest cowbell ensemble.

The feat remains unofficial until a Guinness World Records representative approves it.

The CBC reports that the previous cowbell ensemble record was set by 640 people in Switzerland in 2009.
