Can drumming make my arms buffed?
Basically, whenever I drum my arms feel a little sore afterwards. Am I the only one who feels like this after a drumming session? I just want to know whether drumming promotes muscle build-up in the arms.
The reason I am concerned about this is because I am a girl and I don't want to go around with buffed up arms. I guess I should also mention that my parents are immigrants from the Indian subcontinent and preserving lady-like qualities is important to them, especially to my mom; in my mom's opinion, an Indian girl with buffed up arms would not look too hot in those tight sari blouses.
Anyway, sari-issue aside, I just don't want buffed up arms. When I say buffed up arms, I mean to the point where you can kind of see my veins, to the point where I can pick up my bros and throw them like the incredible Hulk.
Let me know; any insights would be greatly appreciated!

I’m a girl drummer (14) I have been playing for 3 years.
Your’e arms will not get buff and they shouldn’t really hurt for more than five minutes after playing. It is not an excercise or anything, on fast songs at a concert sometimes your wrists should get fatigue. But not your arms. Make sure you are sitting upright and have good posture.
you will not get Hulk arms lol

I’ve been playing for several years, not buff but tone if anything.
So don’t worry, though getting rough fingers is usual.

Haha I wish. If you play drums in a completely relaxed style.Your arms wrist might be more aware but not buffer.Its all about technique

No. Drumming only uses a certain set of muscles. You would need to do some other resistance exercises to bulk them up. So i don’t think you need to worry.
