Everyone Gets Some Kind Of Release From Hitting Things

TACOMA - New research reveals there's a hobby out there that can relieve stress, heal your body, and may make you smarter. But those around you will have to wear earplugs if you decide to practice this technique.

If you need to let off a little steam, then pick up a couple of sticks.

'Everyone gets some kind of release from hitting things, and this is a more positive way of getting your aggression out,' says David Levine with the Percussion Marketing Council.

But over the last few years, Levine says researchers are learning more about the therapeutic aspects of drumming, and how banging on a snare can actually heal.

Granted, this guy is from the "percussion marketing council," so no duh he'd automatically equate "hitting things" with "banging on a snare."

Still, I understand it's even better for you if you've been drinking.
