Doing this....

I am being dead serious. Most of the time the calculator on here says general drumming burns a lot of calories. I would think this burns way more....

Thoughts? I have a 30 minute set every night playing like this....

    Have you thought about getting a heart monitor? That is the only way I know for sure on how many calories you burn since it takes into account your height, gender and weight.

    Hmmm no actually. Thats a good idea, although I can't really be too tentative to it while I play considering live performance is serious....

    You wouldn't have to tend to it while your are playing. Just start it before you start playing and then stop it when you are done. I have the Polar FT7 and love it. When I run or lift, I just turn it on and then forget it. At the end of my workout, I look at the calories burned and stop the heart monitor.

    I agree. A HRM is a good idea. You're probably burning tons!
