Singing drummers

Hey Neanderthal! What garbage asshole info do you have on Proscriptor? I just wonder because I'm not very plugged into the metal scene, but when I tried getting into it I loved Absu. Then searching for interviews, I found one that had an extremely racist remark from him, which put me off the whole project frankly, but it seemed out-of-character because I had never seen anything else like that from him.

most recently, he fired a transgender member of the band for being transgender - that's the one that put me off of him forever.

which sucks as I loved Absu.

On a more positive note, Max Klebanoff from Tomb Mold

Tomb Mold are such good guys. I hung with their guitarist a bit at Psycho Vegas, caught Carcass w/ him

Wow, that Absu situation is absolute garbage. Like, goddamn. What kind of asshole writes this shit:

Not gonna look for it now, but in the racist situation I mentioned above, he tried to recruit people to join his reformed Absu with one of the requirements being "Scotch, Irish, or German descent to bloodline."

Went and had a listen to Melissa Moore's new project Sonja, and it's more along the lines of what I'm interested in these days anyway. Here's hoping there's more to come.

brutus is unreal, i can't imagine drumming like that and singing like that at the same time

Astonished that this thread is 17 years old and no-one has mentioned Kevin Godley Hamilton Bohannon yet.

Larry Blackmon!

Honey Lantree

Surely she has been on the thread before.

I don't think she sang very often.

... so, no, I don't think so.

Oh yeah, okay

i can't imagine drumming like that and singing like that at the same time

This comment reminded me of Sam Chown aka Shmu, singer/drummer for Zorch

Buddy Miles is on here somewhere, surely---

birdistheword's ace revive of RIP Grant Hart me to it for the first time (he links a live set)

*led* me to it

Taylor Hawkins

xp thanks dow! Now that this thread's come up, after Hüsker Dü broke up, did Grant ever sing and play drums on stage again? Unless he was sitting in as a guest drummer, I can imagine him leaving the kit behind (at least on tour) which is a shame because he was a fantastic drummer.

I've never seen Karen Carpenter play drums before:

And another!

Earlier (’68) Karen Carpenter

19 years too late...

Was the dude from Spiderbait ever really 'fat' or an 'idiot' though? Geez.

A+ Carpenter content itt. Thanks. :)

Chris Curtis of the Searchers. Also note pre-Mo Tucker standing drummer style!

I’d love to see another album from Heron Oblivion, which Meg Baird is the vocalist/drummer in

Rachel Horwood of Trash Kit

I don’t think anyone’s mentioned Reni from the Stone Roses. His harmony backup vocals reveal he’s probably the best singer in the group

Joel Amey from Wolf Alice, who in addition to harmonies, sings lead on one track, a duet on another, and I hope will sing on more.

Chris Mars from the 'Mats is a drummer who can sing, but whether he can sing while drumming remains to be seen.

Allegedly Billy Bob Thornton plays drums and sings with The Boxmasters. I have only heard one song of them and it sounded terrible, but I know he plays drums and sings via that amusing trainwreck of an interview on qtv.

RIP Hansi Behrendt, the singing drummer of Neue Deutsche Welle group Ideal:

Cool!

Gotta admit for a second after I clicked on the video I thought it was Karen Carpenter.

Just posted some other Edward Bear-related trivia I came across a few minutes ago on another thread.

The drummer singer who introduced me to the idea was the fella from City Boy

Good one.

Grant Hart, already mentioned but here he is...

For some reason, Les McKeown is "playing" drums and singing here.
