Members gonzobassman Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 I've been thinking about it,and while I know you need a drum rug,and some new heads,and some killer double kick pedals,I am going to get you a muck bucket for your birthday!!!! That way you will be able to carry several tunes!!! And the really good thing is that a muck bucket should be big enough to hold all your bandmates vomit!!! That way you can sing to your heart's content without worrying about all that band puke ruining the stage,and getting you banned from the gig!!! I know,I know Bubby,it must just warm your little heart to know that I am ALWAYs there for YOU!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members toober Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 I went to a concert once, 5 bands and the middle band rocked the place more than the headliner (Poe "Angry Johnny"). The middle band's drummer was the front man and the main singer. It was Cowboy Mouth. Next year they started touring with Gin Blossoms and started sounded like them too which is a bummer. My favorite song of Cowboy Mouth was "Here I Sit In Prison" (which was on an album they did before the "Jenny Says" release). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dave drums Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 I find if I think about it to much I have a hard time singing & drumming. Heck I find I have a hard time drumming if I over think that . One reason I don't teach . I find I can play it but don't ask me how I did it! LOL ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FitchFY Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 Good Lord, you two keep an adorable father/ son relationship. MX, here's my two cents. I was a singing drummer for about two years via a headset mic in two different bands, and the consensus is this: a drummer who can sing is worth his weight in gold, but 90% of the public don't want to WATCH a lead singer drummer. But if you can sing harmonies while laying a beat down, you'll be able to find gigs much easier. Once you get set up, start with "oohs" and "ahhs" for 2 or 4 beats at a time - your priority is to drum well, but when singing is when you do pocket and make sure the tone of your voice is still pleasing.As you get the changes and notes down, change the "ahhs" to words with syllables and inflection. Ultimately, the voice is another instrument, and the same way you need to go slow to determine how to make your left and right hand work at the same time, you may need to do it with your voice. There's still attack and note placement, just like anything else.From there... practice it, man. Drum along with songs you know and sing clearly certain lines, and then identify the harmonies and try those. Experiment, practce, and do it as much as you can.

Members MX DRUMMER Posted June 13, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 Gonzo we can all tell that you put my singing down because you are jealous of the beautiful tone and the way I really draw people in. I understand that going through life sounding like a Basset hound getting screwed by horse when youre on the mic is rough, and while I feel bad I must ask you to refrain from raining on my parade. I know that years of watching people leave shows as fast as if a fire broke out due to your butt screwed tone, is very hard. I know that you have many deep deep sad depressing feelings all bottled up. Im here for you if you need me though. After all what are loving sons for! Thanks everyone for the advice. At this point if I screwed this up it would almost have to be because im an idiot lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
