I think drumming really helps your stamina. I used to play on traveling volleyball teams and after a long day's tournament, I still had energy, and other guys who considered themselves jocks were wiped out.

It's not a substitute for a "real" workout, though IMO.

I have seen other studies that rate drumming somewhat below most sports and athletic workouts. It's exercise for sure, but you will not get the same per-hour workout as a lot of other things.
