"The total number of calories a drummer burns is very individual.  It depends on your body mass, intensity of playing, your age, metabolism, all kinds of things.  But in general,  especially at the level of a professional drummer, drumming is an intensive activity. The professional drummers are right up there with professional athletes. I'm not the only person to show this.  Research studies have shown that drummers are expending energy at the rates of  professional athletes.  In particular, heart rate is right up there with professional soccer players playing ninety minutes." - Dr. Nadia Azar 

 

The Dr. is in!  We're talking biomechanics and motor control of drumming performance with University of Windsor Associate Professor, Dr. Nadia Azar!  Dr. Nadia talks about working with the likes of Mastedon, Primus, Dream Theater, Simple Plan and more!  Lots of fascinating information from the doctor as she also teaches me how to pronounce Kinesiology! Tune in!
