I didn't quite follow that, but in any event, you can't record two things at the same time without adding a mixer. You didn't mention a microphone. Is there one?

The desperation method is to record the drum track and then play that back while you record the vocals. You can layer up to 16 instruments like that. It doesn't have to be vocals.
