Van Morrison, hands down. (Note, though: The Eagles and the Standells ("Dirty Water") both had excellent singing drummers. I don't flag these as often as I might, but back when my first wife and I had the best hotel lounge trio in town, we tried to get phone numbers for all the local singing drummers, because we needed to have them. (I played guitar and keyboards, and really was just a harmony singer at this point, though I sang a couple.) Since then, I have noted, when bands appear on our TV set, when the drummer is singing lead. It does not happen all that often. (But the Strawberry Alarm Clock -- their hits were "Incense and Peppermint" and "Tomorrow" -- were another band with an excellent singing drummer, so it can happen.)
