Maybe it’s a cultural thing: why do people even want to keep drumming for four hours or more?
—ravi ------------------------- Four hours is more than plenty.
I don't know about "cultural". I mean this is the USA; how would drumming be integral to our culture?
But it is a form of activity (cue Doug on activitism) and it is a form of self hypnosis; neither a substitute for conscious action.
I mean, I like drums and all, I understand that it amps group energy and all, but still....
