Elvish Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Phil Collins. Also, the lead singer of 3 Doors Down was the drummer. But I saw them live last year and he didn't do both - I'm not sure if that's just for concerts or if he's given up drumming completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 I immediately thought of Buddy Miles. Also, Dave Grohl sings some harmony on many Nirvana songs. And Meg White sings a song called "In the cold cold night" on the White Stripes CD "Elephant," although she doesn't play any drums on that song.

Carl Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I remember watching a video by The Romantics where there drummer was singing. It can't be easy to sing and drum at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Dave Clark of the great 1960s British Invasion Band, The Dave Clark Five ! They had more hits in the U.S. than they did in the U.K. Q. How can you tell if the stage is level ? A. The drummer drools evenly from both sides of his mouth. WHY are people so cruel to drummers??? :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
