Drummers are incredible.

Drummers can burn up to 600 calories in an hour. Unbelievable.

"Dr Smith found that during a performance, his (Clem Burke) heart averaged between 140 and 150 beats a minute, peaking at 190, levels comparable to other top athletes. However, Dr Smith said that while top footballers were expected to perform once or twice a week, drummers on tour would be doing it every night at a different venue."

This video further demonstrates it but it also has the coolest high speed camera on the drums and cymbals and the results are mind blowing.
