| It certainly helps when you pull a muscle, well, I used to play to the extreme that I pulled a muscle, and I always got this, it helps because now it does not hurt atall when I pull a muscle, I just say, Oh god, again? |

Errr... Sorry but I don't think that playing drums can increase your tricep muscle all that much >.>
The tricep, as you may know, is on the other side of your bicep, meaning you would have to move your arms from a relaxed to a contracted position which requires full extension of the arm. That doesn't happen too often while drumming because the drums are fairly close to your body, and in the event it does, it doesn't put enough strain on the muscle to be able to work it hard enough to gain significant amounts of muscle.
Maybe if you played an upside-down drumset with you lying with your back on the ground, and pushing your arms upward in a clockwise direction __/, but that'd be unrealistic, wouldn't it now :P
But that was off topic, anyway GH:M is a pretty good cardio workout I'd say, I played War Ensamble on expert+ 3 or 4 times in a row to see how high of a 5* score I could get, and I was dripping with sweat after :|
Anything else that's not fast and in the last tier of GHWT or RB2 isn't really going to affect your heart that much, but it'll maybe get your forearms pretty strong. |

My mom hated me as a couch potato this summer, so she forced me to do the only exercise I remotely liked...drumming  The first time she's ever been happy to see me playing video games...it really is a great workout, I can vouch for it!

It's better than watching tv. It is not anywhere near as good as running or true exercise.
Drumming a real kit for can be a workout, but that is a lot different than an RB/gh kit.
Why not just actually go outside and do something?

Running isn't exercise, it's legalized torture!
Whatever, I'd say drumming 3 hours a day on one of the game sets counts as a cardio workout.

Actions
The triceps is an extensor muscle of the elbow joint, and is an antagonist of the biceps and brachialis muscles. It can also fixate the elbow joint when the forearm and hand are used for fine movements, e.g., when writing. It has been suggested that the long head fascicle is employed when sustained force generation is demanded, or when there is a need for a synergistic control of the shoulder and elbow or both. The lateral head is used for movements requiring occasional high-intensity force, while the medial fascicle enables more precise, low-force movements.
The triceps accounts for approximately 60 percent of the upper arm's muscle mass.
Training
The triceps can be worked through either isolation or compound elbow extension movements, and can contract statically to keep the arm straightened against resistance.
Isolation movements include cable push-downs, lying triceps extensions and arm extensions behind the back. Examples of compound elbow extension include pressing movements like the push up, bench press (flat, incline or decline), military press and dips. A closer grip targets the triceps more than wider grip movements.
Static contraction movements include pullovers, straight-arm pulldowns, and bent-over lateral raises, which are also used to build the deltoids and latissimus dorsi.
Elbow extension is important to many athletic activities. As the biceps is often worked more for aesthetic purposes, this is usually a mistake for fitness training. While it is important to maintain a balance between the biceps and triceps for postural and effective movement purposes, what the balance should be and how to measure it is a conflicted area. Pushing and pulling movements on the same plane are often used to measure this ratio.
