To sing and play the drums all at the same time is no easy feat. But once you get the gist of it, then you can surely be in line with these amazing singing drummers in music history that we feature below.


Check out more of their photos in the slideshow below.


Ringo Starr. The Beatles surely owed much to the creative styles of drumming of Ringo Starr. Starr will always be considered that essential element in the entire essence of the Fab Four. Who would beat Ringo in the top spot of this list especially with his ever charming personality and the way he uniquely sings as he does those drum rolls.


Phil Collins. Yes, those very shallow ballads he may have done in the past would be all forgivable just because his talent in playing the drums while singing has helped define the 1980s. That was how influential his talent was! His husky voice will forever remain the most expressive of all!


Don Henley. Nothing beats the sight of Don Henley sitting behind that big drum set while singing timeless songs of his band the Eagles. Everything he dod seemed so effortless.


Karen Carpenter. If not for her talented drumming skills and her incomparable voice, her musical duo with her brother, Richard, could have not gone successful. But things ended up pretty soon for Karen when she passed away due to anorexia.


Sheila E. Glamour and talent is what every event is about whenever Sheila E. sits behind those drums. And to know that her father is a renowned percussionist himself, no wonder she turned as a professional working musician by the age of 21.
