Hey dude, i reckon it all depends on whether the drummer is both comfortable singing and drumming, and has some talent. And i guess it also depends on what the rest of the band thinks, to.
Whats your experience with drumming/singing dr3am??

Being a drummer myself, I hate singing, but have to do it in the band I'm in.
If the stuff your doing is fast & your doing lots of fills & shit, the mic will get in the way, you can get a headset mic but they suck, plus your voice won't sound to good when your doing a lot of drumming shit.
I think the drummer being the main singer looks stupid (example Rubicon) since the drummer is in the back & the main singer should be in the front!!
If your a good singer maybe you should find another drummer?? (I know that doesn't sound good)

I like the idea of a drummer singing., but i agree: only if they have the talent to pull it off.
//I think the drummer being the main singer looks stupid (example Rubicon)// - well after seeing Rubicon play live many times, i reckon Paul pulls it off well. Part of the reason why i love Rubicon is because live, they are natural and its really cool and more interesting to watch when Paul and Jon change over instruments. It adds a bit of variety. Paul has been drumming since he was 3 so i think hes had enuff experience at playing/singing to make it work.

I might be piss easy but not every drummer can pull it off. Too be honest i think Paul Reid is better then what people give him credit for.

Speaking as a Drummer myself, I have nothing against drummers singing. However, from a personal point of view, despite the fact that I can't sing I did try backing vocals in my band and found it really difficult to do the two at the same time!!!!!

do as much as you want, arguing all these limitations just reinforces them.
there are no rules. i know we all *know* that, but how many of us construct a framework of what our band 'is' (or 'should' be) and then never depart from it.
your not a three peice band, your not a singing drummer, your not just this or just that.
you are an evolving creator of sound (or nonsound)

its not an issue if the drummer is a good vocalist and the music ends up sounding good, who cares.

There are no rules in music. And if a drummer wants to sing lead vocals why not?? I can respect someone who is going against the pre-conceived ideal of what a band should look like, wheter its bass and guitars at the side and vocalist in the middle.

But this is really a drummer's question, drumming & singing is a lot harder then playing guitar & singing.
I do sing & play drums, but really only on the easy songs, when your doing fills & rolls when your singing your voice can go all fucked up.
