Hmmm... Karen Carpenter, Ringo Starr, Phil Collins... On balance, good or bad?

Our drummer sings harmonies - no problems with that.

Although he still isn't a proper musician of course ;)

Go to a Kyrbgrinder gig.

That's all I'll say.

as long as they're good singers/songwriters I couldn't care less

Triumph, Kansas, Spock's Beard and King's X are bands that immediately spring to mind when I think of drummers that can sing as well as play drums.

If they can do it, I say more power to em!

NIGHT RANGER too
(well - on some songs)

I dont think there's anything wrong with a drummer singing if they're good.

Bill Ward has sung on a black sabbath song as well

Let not forget about Don Henley from the Eagles. Has to be one of the best singer/songwriter/drummers out there. He could have made a tidy career out of doing either, but chose to do both, very well.

No problem here unless it's Mo out of the Velvet Underground. She does my tit's in (inparticular on the Nico album)

I have no problem with Drummers singing-it does look awkward but Don Henley does it ok(as has been said) but if Barry ( drummer in my band) sees this I don't want him getting ideas.

Levon Helm did it, so, on balance good.

Dave Clark (as in the Dave Clark 5)

Singing drummers thats just a silly idea

Rob...

OK so it took me 3 attempts to spell drummers properly (I preferred the spelling dummer anyway)

Dave Grohl is a pretty good singer/songwriter as well. Don Henley + Phil Collins are up there as well.

Beatles vs. ringo?
Genesis vs. phil collins?
Nirvana vs. Foos?
G n R vs. Adlers appetite?
I'll take the former every time please.
Stick to drumming!

Poll

Should Drummers stick to drumming, or should they branch out into singing, etc?
