I play guitar and, on occasion, sing along while I’m playing. It took me a while to learn how to do something like that - especially playing in time.
In being able to do something like this, you have to be able to move both hands independently of one another. You also have to sing. And, then you have to think about what you’re playing and what you’re singing - at the same time.
Now I have absolutely no idea how drummers sing while they’re playing. You have all 4 appendages moving at different times and then you’re trying to flap your gums while doing all of that! These musicians are truly amazing. Next time you see one doing this, take a little extra time and admire what you’re seeing.

My husband is just such an animal like the ones you’re speaking about along with Don Henley. We just recently started a 70’s/80’s classic rock band (Boston, Styx, Foreigner, Journey, Dokken, etc). I’m in total amazement every time I watch him play & sing at the same time. I have all I can do just to sing, let alone both feet and hands going at the same time.
