Stamina is everything on stage

100. Stamina like the other comment led with. Leg fatigue. Arm fatigue. Back fatigue. (Drums). Good night sleep. Protein and vegetables. Walking (or jogging for those that can). & Cookies. Great vids on insta from Styx drummer Todd Sucherman on fatigue and how he fights it and/or prevents it etc.

Hell yes. Lack of sleep is number two.

100%

Absolutely! Especially if I’m singing backup too. If I’m out of shape I’m definitely not performing so well. Also, my feet seem to work better when I don’t skip leg day.

Absolutely. Our gigs are 2-3 hours long. If I’m not taking care of myself physically and mentally, the show will take a toll as well. Drumming is almost like a sport so we have to try to maintain ourselves as such and consistently work on our fitness levels.

YES. Functional weight training consistently and daily walks have changed my life, both as a performer and just you know, as a person who lives in a body every day

Very much so I can feel it when I haven't been running as much.
