There is a report in today's newspapers that drummers are as fit as Premier League footballers and playing a 90-minute gig is as gruelling as apperaing in a top soccer clash.
Blondie drummer Clem Burke, according to the report, lifts his heart rate in a concert to the same level as 23 year old Christiano Ronaldo.
Seeing how much energy Bobby Elliott puts into a 2 hour concert, he could be playing for Manchester United next season!! |

There was a piece on BBC1's Breakfast programme yesterday morning about this, and including an interview with Clem. Notably a couple of drummers who always looked to be very unfit have quit recently - Uriah Heep's Lee Kerslake and The Stranglers Jet Black. Only a job for the seriously fit, I think! |

John, he is far to gentlemanly to play for MU: I cannot imagine him attacking the ref whenever a decision does not go his way,
On a serious note, I have often wondered about the effort - especially having seen the Hollies over the years - and do think that their upper body fitness must be high |

Absolutely, marko. I'm about 5 or so years younger than Bobby, but I wish I was half as fit as him! |

For the opposing viewpoint, I suggest that you look at any photo of Garry Peterson of the Guess Who. |

That is one of the perks of being a drummer. It keeps you in good shape , If I wasn't one , I'd be 52 and flabby with skinny arms. |
