Frank Beard's Drums

Been thinking about drums to day and I remembered that Frank Beard of ZZ Top has always had some amazing looking kits. May not be the best drummer alive but always stylin' Check out these pics.

Neil Peart - YYZ (Swing version)

I don't ever want to hear about these drummer with huge sets need them to compensate for being crappy drummers. One of the best "big set" drummers proves he can still play one of the coolest drum tunes ever on a tiny set. It's Rush's Neil Peart playing YYZ at a Buddy Rich Memorial Show. Incredible!!

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.
