Beat the Lard

I told you I was fit...

Apparently drummers are as fit as Premiership footballers, according to some study. Brilliant, I've been wasting my time doing all that running; I should just play drums more...

Playing drums is hard work, it's true. They're suggesting that this is a way to make exercise more interesting and save us from a generation of fat kids. Fair enough, but they seem to forget that playing drums isn't the most convenient pastime in the world:

Firstly, you need a kit (they're expensive);
then somewhere to put it (they're bulky too);
and some way of transporting it (they're also quiet heavy);
and you need somewhere to actually play it (I've heard they can be noisy...)
Which makes me very grateful for the willing parents, thick walls and tolerant neighbours I had as a kid...

Nice idea though.

Beat the lard!
