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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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”
