I'm sure I'm not the only dude on these forums with a big appetite and a slow metabolism. I stand at 6'2", and most people expect me to sit down behind my kit and just beat the snot out of everything. Everybody is usually taken back when I sit down and play with a nice wristy technique with very little finger technique.
It's true, you can name hundreds of super-skilled drummers who are probably closer to under-weight than they are over, but I can think of a few of my favorite big drummers who are a big inspiration to me, and are able to execute just as much technique and feel in their playing as the smaller guys, proving that there is NOTHING wrong with big dudes playing drums.
