do we all sweat profusely?

[lukedverlennich]

I was wondering if its just me but i sweat like a pig when I play . Like its so bad you don't want to touch me after I'm done playing. but I've found it's a good way to lose weight with all the sweating haha. Ok that was a bit TMI. but how bad do you all sweat??? Just a question.

[Olimpass]

I think I even sweat when I swim.

[drummer]

I don't sweat as bad as some guys do but under hot lights in a hot bar and playing real hard, I sweat primarily through the abdominal/groin area the most. I can't wear light colored pants or I look like I had an accident, if you know what I mean.

3 T-shirts is my average on a summery gig night in Sydney. One shirt per set. Plus bandannas.

Winter not so bad.

[marko138]

I'm sweating just thinking about sweating. Last week, I decided to go practice for about an hour or so. The weather out here has been really hot, so we've had the AC on day and night. Knowing how much I sweat anyway, I turned the thermostat down to about 72F. After about 15 minutes, I was already sweating like a pig in an air conditioned room. I hate how much I sweat. It just doesn't seem normal.

Great sig line. Somebody grab it... quick!

I believe there are all kinds of levels of sweating..like said above stage lights can contribute to this..but like anyone who exerts oneself you are most likely gonna sweat.its the bodies way of cooling you down..to a point...I use to hate it when my hands got sweating..thus the flying sticks! didn't wear gloves back then..but today..most likely will consider it.

I do.....doesn't help that I have long hair and I'm in Phoenix. (of course).

This time of the year - the humidity levels get higher than normal (what is called the "Monsoon Season") and I sweat three times as much as normal.

I will completely sweat out a shirt simply unloading, then change my shirt and play the gig, sweat that shirt out along with my jeans/shorts, then change my shirt again, and sweat that out when I'm tearing down and loading.

The worst part is that my sweat must be very noxious.....as it's stains white t-shirts, and can make colors in other shirts (especially new ones) run or bleed. I've got shirts that look like tie dies in the neck and arm pit area simply because I've sweated them out so much.

Sweat is the mark of a real workout! Some say you can burn up to 600 calories per hour by drumming vigerously. Sometimes I feel like I burn more, if sweat is the indicator

[rickthedrummer]

I don't sweat. Don't know why, I just don't.

[HolyChina]

Zero unless I'm marching bass #5 on any day over 70°

[atomcorr2]

im a shirt per set guy ....

[pastor_bob]

My head and face get very sweaty on a hot day. The rest of my body only sweats moderately. I do like a good fan, though.

[Markadiddle]

Woo hoo! Rock on PB! (oh, you meant like a fan that moves air....)

[pastor_bob]

Good one Mark, and I feel so much better already!

[501208]

I sweat like former New York Knicks great Patrick Ewing. I mean, I can sweat THROUGH an entire suit. That's why I keep a small towel in my stick bag.

[wolvie56]

I sweat somewhat normally I think depending on the activity. Always when I'm drumming though. My fans are an important part of my gear.

Just like in Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.....got to know where your towel is!
