I'm 175cm... how much would that be in feet and inches?

[alexmonty12]

edit: nope, just under 6 foot, 5' 11"

[rohbit]

I got this tall by eating the souls of the ancients.

[spike9908]

a little on the short side, but pretty much avarage.

[thumperfoot]

5' 2" full grown...

[Loyton]

not tall enough to be big, but tall enough not to be short :p

Exactly, same here. 6' is the perfect height.

[Parradiddle Pete]

Adrian Erlandsson from that band i dont like, he's biig

[Bernie812]

[thenewguy515]

[Camikaze]

[Quinto]

[spike9908]

im 5'11", but im 13, tallest in my family(my family is short)

no, 5'11" is (sort of) tall. the avarage adult is somewhere around 5'7" or 5'8"


thats as of now. statistics say its pretty much garenteed to go up a little every few generations.

[nelldog]

i'm 5'10'' and i'm near 18 so still quite short really i think i'm average though so thats alright i think...:S

[[Fonya]]

5'6" or 5'7".....15 years old....

Average?

Thats me. Still waiting for my spurt.

[spike9908]

^ha, i had a 4 year long spurt. 10-14 i went from 5' to 6'.

[Double Bass Jim]

5'9 1/2

Plenty tall enough, I wouldnt want to be over 6'

[spike9908]

5'9 1/2

Plenty tall enough, I wouldnt want to be over 6'

Really the only good thing about being that tall is it takes serious abuse and neglect to get a sizable beer belly. And you rarely get stuck behind someone taller than you at the movies.

[Cocaberry]

I wouldnt want to be over 6'

Why not?

[ian1988]

Im around 5'5" and im 18, hopefully I creep up to about 5'7" when im around 20 and then i'll be happy.

[Juicy_Forlorn]

I'm about 5'11''. I'd like to shrink a couple inches :(

[Janeway]

I'm 5'11".
It's nice to know that I trump Joey, though.

[Massik Kretal]

Pretty tall girls....

[Ming-a-Ling]

I'm 5'10". I wish I was 3 inches taller

[spike9908]

Pespi, everyone is taller than Joey. What is he, 5'2" or something.

[Janeway]

I believe he's 5'3" with 12" heels.

[fullmetalhaallee]

Im about 5'8" or 5'9" and only 14 so Im doin good. My friend who is also 14 is 6'4".

[Massik Kretal]

wtf!! :confused:

[TTTSNB]

6 foot or so, I'm perfectly happy with it.

[Plan B.]

I'm about 2 feet.

[Juicy_Forlorn]

Im about 5'8" or 5'9" and only 14 so Im doin good. My friend who is also 14 is 6'4".
My friend's younger brother is about 6'2'' and he's only 13.
He's one of the very few tall people in my school. There's a very small number of people in my school that are taller than me :(

[Voodoo]

6'2 and only 13 would classify you as a giant amoung your peers. haha - that'd be sweet.

I'm about 6'1" and seem to be pretty happy with myself. I think this is the first time I've ever thought about whether my height was satsfactory or not. haha

I know this isn't insane or anthing, but I think Raymond of Fear Factory is like 6'3". Thats the biggest drummer I can think of off the top of my head.

[PremierManiac]

I'm roughly 6'2" and considered fairly tall at my school. We have one guy in our class that was 6'-3" in 7th grade and now in our junior year of high school he is just under 7'.

6'3" in 7th is huge, but just under 7' by junior year isn't horrible. I know my school has one or two of them.

You're not freakishly tall- if I was shorter I might think so, but tis fine with me.

[Juicy_Forlorn]

Perhaps compared to regular people, but everyone seems to be short in my town. Must be something in the water.

[PremierManiac]

7' is monstrous in our high school of just 600 kids.

[Futuro]

If I wasn't as tall as I am I would look funny.

[Zildjian]

im 6'0..I loose i guess

[the fat llama]

im what 5'5 and 13 year old

[Dr. Pin]

6'6

Im like one of the shortest guys at my school too. :(

wtf? your 6'6" and your one of the shortest guys in your school!

i'm around 176cm thats around 5'?"

[Tyr]

I'm 189 cm, that's about 6' 2 1/2''. My younger brothers both are taller than me, but that doesn't really bother me. One of my best friends, who is also a drummer, is 6'5'' or so.

[Op3r4t0r]

5'8ish and 17 years old... I think I will catch another growth spurt to put me up to 5'10ish I hope... But I am happy with my height. AND HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Joey I pwns jo0!!!!!! srry had to do it...

[chickensandwiches]

Alas i'm 5'4" and a hispanic, i aint gonna grow much more

[alexmonty12]

^ha, i had a 4 year long spurt. 10-14 i went from 5' to 6'.I nearly did that in one year :p

i'm around 176cm thats around 5'?"just over 5' 11"

[Jezen]

I stand 4' 24" high.

[VTDS_xx]

^Otherwise known as 6 ft. ;)

I'm 15 and 5'5". Height's not an issue to me though.

[DillingerEscp]

[AdultSwim815]

I'm 5'11" and I'm going to say the shortest drummer, that I know of, is 5'4" and thats joey jordison.

[edit]
