In a 2004 thread entitled ''QUITTING THE CLARINET COLD TURKEY'', John Gibson (a drummer) wrote, in part...............
''Do I miss drumming? YESSSSSS........more than I can express....not only was it a musical expression.....it was aerobic exercise. Unlike clarinetting.....''
The thread was closed immediately thereafter, so no responses were able to be put up thereafter.
Well, I started as a drummer in the Australian Army, and it was hard work naturally enough. However, I'd hazard a guess and say that John Gibson has never been a clarinettist!!

It may not be aerobic, but there was a study done in the sixty's (or earlier) that claims that wind players live longer because of deep breathing (more fresh air in the lungs, dispelling more old air). But we were told this by the same band teacher that related a story about a saxophone player that died because of a dirty mouth piece. ;-) .
