That is TOUGH. Anybody who's ever toured with a drum corps (the sissy marching band one, not the awesome Marine Corps one) like I have can tell you that we had to do this pretty much daily with both hands and our instrument (damn you baritone!) as well as in playing position. PAINFUL. Good arm workout though.

I can only imagine it's made slightly easier by the thought that if you fail, you could drop a perfectly good mug of beer, and if you win, you already have a beer in your hand to celebrate with!
