I teach high school physical education, and today, when I asked my students for ways that they exercise. I got the common answers such as biking, jogging, walking the dog, etc. One of my students said they play rock band drums every day. Many of the kids laughed at him, but it left me wondering...how many calories could one burn by playing rock band for say, an hour-2 hours per day?
 
I definately agree that its exercise (drums)-especially if he is more advanced. Aside from actually burning calories its great for hand eye coordination. You ever seen how much sweat a drummer breaks while banging away on the drums! It beats sitting on the couch eating chips and watching MTV.
 
depending on the setting that they play on im sure it can be quite a bit when i play on expert sometimes just trying to keep up with the bass alone is enough to leave me sweating and with sore calf mucles
