Hey gang welcome to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is in the
singing. We're about to check out 10 top drummers
that can really sing but before we do that I want to discuss why we're doing
this. A lot of instrumentalists do not see themselves as the vocalist or the
main singer or the front person and I'm here to tell you you absolutely can do
this. If you train your voice and you work at it, you too can also sing well or
sing lead vocals in your band or your project or for your own songs or
whatever it is. So I just want to encourage you because I started out as a
guitar player and taught myself how to sing. I have a singing course it's called
How to Sing Better Than Anyone Else. You can check it out here at Ken Tamplin
Vocal Academy.com if you're interested in singing. If you just want to get your
feet wet, check out some of my tutorials here on youtube. I think I have like 6 or
700 videos or stop by my singing forums it's also at Ken Tamplin Vocal
Academy.com where I have around 15,000 people in there that are all learning
how to sing at various stages and with various moderators helping us figure
this stuff out. So with that said I'm gonna start with Kelly Keagy from the
band Night Ranger and I'm going to do 10 as a countdown and then I'll do some
special mentions afterwards. So make sure that you keep watching the video because
I'm gonna add some other people at the end here so with that said let's check
out Kelly Keagy from Night Rangers.
Next up is Gilmore from the Canadian based band Triumph. Check this out.
Next we have Roger Taylor from the band Queen and I want you guys to really
think about this you instrumentalists out there. These guys didn't just wake up
singing one day, they had to work at it and actually drumming and singing at the
same time is pretty tough because it takes a lot of aerobic activity and a
lot of good breath control but check out Roger Taylor here we go.
Remember a singer is only a singer because they have the guts to be one. So
a drummer is only a singer if he has the guts to be one and is willing to put in
the time in the practice here we have Peter Criss from KISS check it out.
And now we have Dave Grohl. Now Dave's really interesting because Dave started
out in Nirvana as a drummer as you know and stepped up to the plate honed in his
craft and walked right up to the front to become a frontman for the Foo
Fighters as you know. So he learned guitar became a great songwriter, learned
how to sing, stepped up to become a frontman. There is no excuse for you, you
can do this if you want. If you want to learn how to sing and play at the same
time you also can sing your own tunes. So with that said let's check out Dave
Grohl.
Now of course we can't forget the Rev from Avenged Sevenfold. Now the Rev
worked on his voice so well he wound up singing all the high parts for Matt
Sanders M shadows in Avenged Sevenfold because he was willing to work at his
craft and willing to work at his instrument here, like he did here. So with that
said let's check out the Rev.
And of course we have Ringo Starr from the Beatles. Now think about this. Ringo,
Paul, George, John all of them could sing, all of them could play their instruments
well, all of them were great songwriters, they all went on to have great solo
careers after that because they applied themselves to singing. The cool thing
about singing and playing at the same time too especially drummers, bass players
etc guitar players, is you have a much better chance of getting the gig as an
instrumentalist who can sing than an instrumentalist who can't. In fact a lot
of times even mediocre instrumental talent will win out if a person can sing
than the other way around. So let's check out Ringo.
Next in is one of the greatest drummer singer combinations I've ever heard in
my life. Probably also one of the greatest unsung heroes I've ever heard
in my life. Deen Castronovo and I'm gonna put some of his other live stuff that he
did in the band Journey. I'll put that in the description for you guys to check
out "Mother-Father" some of Journey's greatest hits. I'll put those in the
description but I want you to check out Deen. Now Deen is amazing because he
actually started out for the most part being known as a shrapnel metal drummer.
There's a label called Shrapnel records he started kind of started out there and
then has done a lot of projects since then. Deen is a force to be reckoned with
check this out.
Here is yet another incredible example of instrumentalist turned frontman Phil
Collins and Genesis. Many of you know Peter Gabriel left the band
Phil Collins was on drums. He had a pretty decent voice they said hey Phil
why don't you leave the drums behind and come step up to the plate and front
Genesis and that he did for an incredible career as a frontman for the
band Genesis. Let's check out Phil Collins.
All right hitting the number one slot is Don Henley from the Eagles. Now we know
all the members of the Eagles could sing and sing well from their amazing
harmonies but you have Don Henley who is basically fronting the band behind his
drum kit coming in at number one. If you like what you heard please like and
subscribe to my channel that would be awesome. If you guys are interested at
all in learning how to sing check out Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where I have a
singing course called How to Sing Better Than Anyone Else and I walk you through
step by step how you too can front your own group or at least get good enough to
sing your own songs or or write your own music or whatever it is you're looking
to do. I have a free singing form at my website also with around 15,000 members
in there, everyone at different stages of learning and you can stop in. We have
great moderators that will help determine whether or not you're up for
fronting your own group. So with that said I got some great honorable mentions
after this too so stay tuned for that and let's check out Don Henley thank you
guys God bless you and until next time peace out.
