  • Drum set!

    Hey guys!

    We are planning to get an elliptical within the next 2 weeks (Before spring break) However, a few days ago my father finally purchased what he has been waiting for - a drum set!

    I have been playinig on it like crazy the past few days learning beats and such... It is really a good work out on the leg muscles and the arm muscles (If you bang'em) and my passion is music so it is a lot of fun!!!

    I just wanted to share--Because it's something good for people who do not excersize much to get into the swing of things... If I just jumped on the pavement and started running, I probably would only do it once and get burnt out on it the first 20 minutes! But for now, having a drum set is a good workout, it's fun... And you get to sit the whole time!

    Just curious... Does anyone else here play drums, get a work out, and find it fun? I know you're out there!!

    Playing set is really tiring for me! I don't do it much, just to demonstrate for students usually, but even with me working out 6x a week, I still become fatigued. Drumming uses all sorts of muscles not used in any other activity known to man, I swear!

    Night, glad to year yo daddy's got a set. That rocks!

      I'm a drummer! I play out EVERY weekend usually, both days ( fri and sat) for four to five hours at a time. I play double bass drums, and I found that since starting induction, I get an incredible leg pump when I play now, and I sweat my brains out...I agree with drums being a really great workout! Yes indeed!


      my band's site is at www.doubleshot.piczo.com you can see pics of me and my drums there...i'll just let these serve as my before pictures too...lol


      Peace
      to all!

        Yippeeeeeeeee! Yet another reason to get a drum set! lol I've wanted to learn to play for years. I don't know if I'd be coordinated enough, but I'd love to try. I'll have to keep this post in mind if I ever get a set.. to rationalize spending the money on something I might suck at.
