I do have to admit though. When singing lead I would concentrate so much on the words that I would miss a fill here and there.
Is that a pun on Phil Wright or Phil Collins ? :D
Isn’t it odd that no one has mentioned the singing guitar, keyboards, etc. people? They sing and play at the same time all the time!
I sing lead and harmony all the time, and one thing that helps me is a headset worn microphone. That way I can turn my head and move my body as necessary without worrying about the “sweet spot” on the mic. I also use in-ear monitors so I can hear myself (and other vocals) clearly.
When I play (self taught), I hear all the parts of the song in my head like hearing a recording and I play and sing along. Works well for me!
Tinman... with you 100%.. I just didn't picture myself going to guitar, keyboard forum and asking if they had any hints, tips, tricks for a drummer being able to play and sing. :o
Utmost respect for the ability to do it with aplomb... I just have real trouble getting it right. Of course my limb independence needs work as well.
Until recently I had not tried to play and sing and I was really taken by surprise when it was such a struggle.
