That’s the thing. Rockers are notorious for dying early. (Or earlier than expected.) But The Stones never seem to quit. And do drummers get carpal tunnel syndrone? If they do, I’ve never heard of it.
Drummers get beat up pretty good, Phil Collins is a wreck, his son will be drumming for him in the upcoming Genesis tour.
Tendonitis in the forearms is a big issue with drummers. That’s why Neil Peart of Rush called it a day before he even discovered he had cancer - he’d gotten to the point where he said even picking up sticks was agony. He went so far as to sell off or donate every drum kit he had in his house, and never looked back. And Phil Collins of Genesis - he damaged his neck and spine from all the years he played, now he gets around in a wheelchair and sings sitting down. Peter Criss of KISS - he was known for absolutely brutalizing his drum kit, and even as far back at the 70’s, his shoulders and rotator cuffs were all torn up.
