Drummers That are Lead Singers
I was listening to Cowboy Mouth, no hell no NOT SMASHMOUTH, anyway it got me thinking about bands that have lead singers that are also the drummer. They are definitely a rare breed and there’s some that come to mind but I was wondering if any of the Rock Online visitors knew any of this trivia?
Let me know of some of the bands you can think of that have drummers that are lead singers.
Fred LeBlanc

Georgia Hubley from Yo La Tengo
Janet Weiss, drummer of Sleater-Kinney

The Gunga Din
Yo La Tengo, but I noticed Dean already said them so I say New Radiant Storm King instead!
I’m surprised no one has said Peter Criss of KISS that’s who came to my mind immediately!
Heavens to Betsy drummer, Tracy Sawyer
Wasn’t the singer of Red Kross also the drummer?
Um WTH? Phil Collins! He was the ultimate singer/drummer, you guys are slippin!
Are we talking full time singer/drummer because there are so few of those, be there are way more part time singer/drummers, especially if someone called out sick
What about Peter Hoorelbeke ore even “Country Dick” Montana of The Beat Farmers?

I saw Cowboy Mouth in concert in Atlanta a couple of years back and they were amazing. Really down to earth band, we even got photos with them out in the lobby. A band with a drummer for the singer is really something to see. I would imagine it takes at least 3 times the energy of just doing one of the jobs.

Darius Rucker of Hootie and the Blowfish
