I haven't attempted it before, but my brother normally can sing on there (Rock Band 3) and do expert Drums, and he couldn't do them at the same time so I doubt I could. But I think Ringo is very talented with being able to play I Wanna Be Your Man on drums, and sing at the same time!!!!!!!! a-hard-days-night-ringo-10

What is impressive is how well his voice matched up with the drums.

It's too bloody difficult!

I commend you Ringo, for your apparent skills!
...unless they were two separate tracks. Nonetheless, well done! a-hard-days-night-ringo-12

Ringo does it so nicely.

 

Not to brag, but I pride myself on my singing, and drumming. But, when I do both at the same time it sounds like a giant pile of... well, you know.

 

Do you think this makes Ringo a more respectable singer (and drumming)? I kind of think so...

 

Actually when someone asks me what Ringo did in The Beatles that was worth of it, I show them a video of Ringo singing and playing I wanna be your man live.

Drummers usually muck it up when they try to sing.  I don't know if it's because the untalented singers become drummers or because it's just so hard.

Anyway, Ringo did a good job of it, but his vocal range was really limited.

 

Mmmhmm. It's kind of the same concept as how Karen Carpenter sang and drummed, but, unlike Ringo, her vocal range was super wide, and her drumbeats weren't exactly difficult, you know?

The best singing by a drummer...go rent The Last Waltz, the Martin Scorcese film about the final concert by The Band.  Levon Helm is amazing on "The Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down."
