Singing drummers

Doesn't quite count but Jon Hendricks first instrument was drums, which may explain why he is able to do what he does.

Come to think of it, this cat is great but probably not on the radar of this borad: http://www.tonyjeffersonmusic.com/tonyjeffersonmusic/Vocals_Bio.html

I don't suppose anyone remembers Blair Mailer, but their track on the Yo Yo a Go Go compilation from '96 starts with a voice saying:

"Who was the band with the drummer that sang just one song?"
"...it was us."

so

Mimi Parker from Low

Fyfe Ewing ex of Therapy?.

The Jellyfish dude. Had a good voice!

wow i've never seen any Jellyfish performances/videos so i didn't realize Sturmer was the drummer

Terry Bozzio

Carla Azar of Autolux: Soft Scene, Brainwasher

Maya Tuttle of The Colourist: We Won't Go Home, Little Games

Florrie (Florence Ellen Arnold): Live a Little, Shot You Down

Also, if timbale drummers are considered, its bewildering that Sheila E hasn't been mentioned in 12 years.

My favorite singing drummer, non-Levon Helm division, is Katherina Bornefeld of Dutch art-punk institution The Ex.

Saw this band, Sirsy, a few months ago. They're from upstate NY. The singer plays drums -- standing up, which is tricky -- and she's good, too. She also triggers bass parts on a pad attached to the drumset.

Slint

See that Mel Torme has already been mentioned, didn't even think about Sheila E. but yeah of course D'oh! Have been wondering if Morris Day should count.

Birth Control (terrible band)

I don't see anybody playing drums there. Or singing.

Uncalled for tbh.

Georgia Hubley from Yo La Tengo (the band was mentioned upthread), one of my favourite female voices in rock music, one example with Tortoise:

When I think of singing drummers I first think of Gil Moore of Triumph
But apparently I am the only one.

Jen Twynn Payne is lead vocalist and drummer for The Courtneys, a Vancouver band.

are there any drummers who also play bass at the same time

Dave Grohl does this on Nirvana Unplugged, iirc.

Au contraire, there's a youtube clip upthread.

I posted about the 24th Street Wailers in a rockabilly thread and got no response, but this gal plays drums AND sings like early Etta James.

^ Thanks for posting this, I've got a new favourite band.

that band Cowboy Mouth I saw on Ellen 11 or 12 years ago

Kurt Reil of The Grip Weeds

Grant Hart, Levon Helm, Don Henley, Stewart Copeland, Phil Collins are all fine by me. It's probably no one's first choice but sometimes it happens.

Gooseneck stand is goofy, particularly if it goes over your head in a dramatic arc. No thank you. If you're even remotely clever you can get a normal boom stand to serve adequately. I do this pretty frequently.

A headset seems nice in theory but doesn't let you cough or belch or anything (unless you have like a mute pedal but that's probably even more distracting).

See I feel like the above band (Grip Weeds) would be much better with a front person vocalist, I don't feel like singing drummer works with their style at all.

John Cowsill

I saw an interesting 2-piece band open for Neil Hagerty at the Casbah in San Diego, in the early 2000s, and wish I could remember their name. It was a guy with glasses on a drum kit, singing, and another guy playing guitar (I think). Their songs were mesmerizing.

I’ve always remembered (sort of) the closing lyric to one of them:

“And the thing I most regret / Is that I ever, ever had / Just one cigarette”

are there any drummers who also play bass at the same time
