10 Greatest Classic Rock Drummers Of All Time
1. Keith Moon
Moon the loon was an absolute icon of Rock music and drumming as a whole. His incredible energy, unique style and larger than life personality have meant that he has remained a name synonymous with the instrument that he played with such fervent vigour.
Moon supported baffling hand speed behind the kit and his fill-heavy drum tracks are still widely acknowledged as some of the finest beats ever laid beneath any Rock tracks. Epic, sweeping songs like Won't Get Fooled Again and Baba O'Reily were only made possible by Moon's enthusiasm and energy. His incendiary solo at the end of My Generation is still one of the most iconic thrashings of a drum kit to this day.
Keith Moon's intriguing personal life was only match by his incredible talents behind the kit- and that really is saying something. Moon had a unique style to him that has never really been matched to this day. His beats, drum-lines and fills are high-tempo and complex pieces put together by an undeniable master of his instrument. He is not as tight a drummer as say John Bonham, but his unique style puts him head and shoulders above the rest. Keith Moon is the greatest drummer to have graced the Classic Rock genre, I Can't Explain it any better...
