Bands with lead-singing drummers?

[BrokenVisage]

The only one I can think of is the band that did "What I Like About You". The Romances or something, and I only know because I came across the old-ass music video they did for it on YouTube.

Are there others?

Genesis - Phil Collins

 

[Nohr]

Does Foo Fighters count? He's more of a drummer gone singer.

I'm not sure, but I think it'd be very hard to do. Staying on beat and keeping your breathing normal would probably be the problem.

I was actualyl just thinking that. Grohl was Nirvana's drummer, now he's the Foo's singer and guitarist.

I imagine having the microphone so close to already loud drums would make things sound odd, but what do I know.

I don't recall Grohl ever doing vocals while in Nirvana though. And he's strictly done guitar and lead vocals for Foo Fighters with the exception of one song in mind.

If you're talking live. The first album Foo Fighters was done almost entirely by Grohl. Some other guy played the guitar on one song, but the rest was Grohl. Vocals, guitar, bass, drums.

It's different on albums as you can record each track separately. The hard part is doing it live.

Shiela E. (percussion), though she's a one-hit wonder with "The Glamorous Life."

So did I, hence the word "album".

Grand Ole Party has a female drummer and lead singer. They're from San Diego and it's a treat watching her play live. Short clip here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plaKZNzalBo
