It does seem, and there are cases to support, that some musicians became "great" once they moved from the back of the stage to the front.
My personal take is unlike keyboard players or horn players or guitar players, in my opinion singing and playing the drums just looks strange and reminds me of a turkey stretching their necks to gobble. I know, wireless mics and all...but its just strange combo of tasks for a drummer to sing.
I think Buddy Rich said something to the effect drummers should be heard and not seen, meaning stay in the back and groove groove groove.
