You can tell me that it isn’t a concept that I may have trouble playing drums at altitude, that it is a fact: people have been carried out on stretchers doing so. However, I think, there are people who live about 12,000 feet who do just fine. There are people I can see, just past the stage, hurtling down man-made snow on skis and throwing themselves off ramps. Maybe they have been here long enough to adapt, or maybe they are just kids, so excited and on vacation and overcome with the joy of the sport that it doesn’t even occur to them to feel taxed. They haven’t attached themselves to that information that says they should feel compromised at altitude. So then, what are the facts? Aren’t they subject to our perception?
