This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Drumming sets off steps on my new watch. New goal is to drum marathon distance. (lemmy.world)

Haha, I can imagine it would be true, but would certainly depend on the fitness, style/genre, and technique.

Here's the heartrate graph to match post. I consider my technique very good at being conservative, but there's clearly times there I was playing something fast and furious that jacked heartrate (mainly punk-style rockabilly).

Edit: Can legit see where I played fast, thought, "Okay, need something easier." and did lower BPM before being drawn back into fast shit again.

A big caveat maybe that I've been making music for decades but only started playing drums a couple of months ago, so it's not going to be very efficient drumming + I'm a programmer, so my fitness is already very low :D
