In the words of Bill Hicks; "The beatles were so high that they even let Ringo sing on a few tunes!".

In general most drummers really aren't up to it but, as has previously been said: Then there's mr. Helm who did a sterling job!

I was watching a Spock's Beard DVD last night and I remembered another great drummer/singer: Nick DiVergilio.

Damm right they should 'branch out' to singing and writing.
Don Henley has always been a favourite of mine,. Just watch/hear him on the Eagles DVD :

"Hell Freezes Over"

Not only does he do both tasks very well, but his own songs like "Heart Of The Matter" and "Wasted Time" are classics ...

There used to be a video on YouTube of him playing an incredibly intricate drum part and singing lead vocals at the same time. He's a musical deity!

He plays guitar too, as if that wasn't enough talent for one man.

A drummer banging away with the occasional lean left to shout out some lines is one of the coolest things you can see in a band!

I am a drummer and i sung 3 songs every gig.As long as i get a head-set ,i have no problem with it.There is no difference between guitar player/singer and the Drummer/singer.
I am actually for a Full-time singer.But that's just me!
