Rock Drummers Considered ‘Top Athletes’

Despite rockers’ (deserved) reputations for late nights, drugs, booze and women, a new study has found that rock drummers require the physical stamina of a (much harder working) top athlete to be able to play all the way through a show. Ninety minutes of drumming could bring a person’s heart rate to a thumping 190 beats-per-minute, and an hour concert can burn between 400 and 600 calories, says the BBC. (more…)

The music world is very homogeneous these days. Especially when it comes to hard rock. However, the one band that can never be duplicated is Nightwish.

Formed in 1996, Nightwish’s combination of powerful guitar riffs, personal-yet-epic lyrics, symphonic backdrops and operatic vocalist Tarja Turunen made them one of the most distinguishable bands in hard rock. However in 2005, problems began which led to Tarja’s dismissal and eventual replacement with their current vocalist, Anette Olzen.

Today, the band celebrates the release of their latest album Dark Passion Play and embarks on their first world tour with their new lead singer I had an opportunity to talk with keyboardist and founding father, Tuomas Holopainen about the bands trials and tribulations over the past year, the struggles of finding a new lead singer, and the healing power of time.
