The Most Influential Drummers of All Time

Keith Moon

As previously mentioned, Keith Moon was an incredibly prolific drummer. He hated rock and roll drumming, which somehow made him the #1 candidate to back one of the greatest rock and roll groups of all time. Moon was explosive, experimental, and unafraid of any chances he would take. 

The Artist

Moon was more of a performance artist than a drummer. He tried to match the energy of every single instrument at the exact same time. However, with a mind like Moon's, the attractive rock and roll lifestyle coupled with drug culture led him astray. Moon died of an overdose at the age of 31 in 1978.
