The BBC reports that drummers burn between 400 and 600 calories per hour according to a study carried out by Dr Marcus Smith from Chichester University in West Sussex, England. The scientists ran tests on Clem Burke of Blondie by monitoring his heart rate and breathing. The scientists hope that drumming could be advocated as an alternative to sports since it can help keep kids physically fit. (photo by Flickr user A.A.)
