I play drums (hard rock) semi professionally. i have a fitbit and notice my bpm will go up to 120's - 140's when practicing and upwards of 150+ when performing. i exercise regularly and have a resting bpm of about 67-70 on average. is this ok?

Yes: This is well within the range your heart will have & tolerate during such activity. It is a nice workout. If you get above 180 I would consider that worrisome.

Ear protection: Agree with Dr. F. An unrelated issue is that you should wear ear protection to prevent deafness.
