Rock drummers have to be in top physical condition.

Lars Ulrich of Metallica says a concert is similar to a marathon for the drummer.

You don’t step away from the kit for 3-5 years then think you can do a 2hr concert after a couple of 1hr rehearsals. That could very well result in a heart attack for a 67yr old man.

I saw Boston live two years ago in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and remarked then how very demanding the drummer’s job was for that show.

So true! I'm a rock drummer and it is very physically demanding. I don't think most people realize.

RIP Sib. Great drummer.
