I am a singing drummer and use a head worn mic by shure. This model is very weak for the rock material that we do and I am testing some others now. What are you other singing drummers using with your PAS?

Audix OM5.
Used a Crown CM311A head worn off and on for a while, I loved the freedom of movement it offered, and it sounded very good, as good as my Audix, but was more challenging trying to *work* it.

I play drums and sing in a rock band. I tried a Sure head mic, but didn't really like it. Too much breathing noices and I kept getting hung up on the cable. Wireless would be better though.

I went back to a Hurculese mic stand that goes directly behind me, and above my head. Then I use a gooseneck to bring it down. This way it is really high, and pretty much out of my way.

It would be nice to have a head worn mic, but I don't like the breathing, and not being able to sing to myself to get ready for harmony parts when I don't sing. I sing 3/4 of our songs though.

Any tips would be appreciated though, as if I found one I liked, or how to use it better, I might. I just think my Sure Beta58a sounds best.
