DRUMMING IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE
22 NOVEMBER 2011

On 16 November at the University of Gloucestershire's Oxstalls campus Mark Richardson played a punishing set in searing heat, all in the name of science as part of the Clem Burke Drumming Project.

The Clem Burke Drumming Project is based on the pursuit of knowledge through the application of scientific principles to the various art forms of drumming. It is committed to the dissemination of information leading to increased enjoyment, health and well-being of all participants involved in drumming. 

What happened? Read on....

Dr. Marcus Smith said: 'What we witnessed today was truly remarkable and a landmark event for the Clem Burke Drumming Project. Mark's sweat rate of 2 litres per hour is comparable to an elite endurance athlete and clearly demonstrates his body's attempt to remove excess heat from the body core. The challenge for us all now is to review the data and formulate a fluid replacement strategy for Mark that will not only enhance future drumming performances but more importantly safeguard his health.'
Principal Lecturer and Field Leader in Exercise Physiology University of Chichester, Co-founder, Clem Burke Drumming Project

Dr Chris Potter said: "As a former drummer and now physiologist, I am in awe of Mark's level of performance. Not only is he an amazing drummer (who hits the drums with such ferocity he could wake the dead), he is also an incredible athlete who has both the skill and physical fitness to perform in hostile environments that push his body to its limits. If anyone still doubts that rock drummers are really athletes in disguise, Mark's Herculean efforts will surely convince them otherwise." Lecturer and Field Leader in Exercise Physiology

Dr Steve Draper said:
"The data we saw today was very interesting - the highest oxygen uptake we have measured in a drummer and Mark lost an incredible 2kg in a single hour drumming in the heat!"
