Question: If there was an exercise/workout routine to help us with our muscles for drumming would you try it?
Normal fitness/strength training should be more than enough to play drums.
Playing drums isn't really about muscle development. It it was, Mr. Olympia would be the WFD every year.
In my opinion, the most important muscles to develop in drumming are the ones that let you throw a few hundred pounds of drumming gear into a vehicle without injuring yourself. But again, a normal strength training program for basic fitness should suffice.
What i'm talking about is a few key exercises in developing the slow twitch muscle fibers that allow your limbs to get tired less quickly. Along with endurance training that is specific for drum playing longevity. Drummers that are gigging/touring more then 4 nights a week have to really know how to keep there stamina up and make sure they dont get muscle fatigue too quickly. Do you agree?

Yes I would.........
I took lessons for a short time in the 80's and my teacher gave me some killer exercises that transformed my hands from clumsy to responsive. So yes.
I'm skeptical but I might look at it.
Are you selling something? Sounds like it hehe
