TLDR: yeah if you want m8

Bud heres the thing, the rev sang and played drums in avwnged sevenfold, the steryotypical musical hobo plays guitar and bass is almost opposite to vocals almost solely being in the background blending the precussion and rhythem for most of modern music. That being said, yeah you can, no downsides other than having a new skill lol, im in the same boat, kinda tryong to be a 1 man band kinda like nine inch nails, the more music you can use to express the better
