Interesting article from the BBC about a study that found rock n' roll drummers "requires the stamina of a Premiership footballer...."
Seems footballers (soccer for North Americans) play approximately 40 to 50 games over 12 months and rock drummers can play over 100 concerts 90 minutes in length over the course of a tour. Rock drummers heart rates, averaging 140-150 bpm during a concert (and peaking at 190 bpm), and the amount of calories burned per show, 400-600 are very impressive considering all the hype around sex, drugs and rock n' roll....
Not to mention the plethora of drummer jokes out there...
