Drummer Battle: Neil Peart vs. Keith Moon vs. John Bonham

[limelight_rush]

I am a HUGE fan of Phil and Genesis. I think Phil is a great drummer, and his ability to do vocals while drumming is amazing. I am not sure that he is a better drummer than those listed, but I think he does rank up there pretty high.

Now...can we get some Genesis DLC?!?!?

I think he's I mean those 3 are great, but the intros, the changes,the contras, damm Collins is pretty much the best drummer.

You can see his influence even in drummers of shows like Cirque du Soleil.

He doesn't drum and sing much, and when he does, it's during a song that isn't complicated in the slightest.

He is a very good drummer, but I find people overestimate his drumvocalist ability.

Uh no, not really.

Cirque Soleil is generally built off of tribal rhythms that fit the theme of the show. Multiple drummers are often used during shows like that too.

I'm going to go with Peart on points here (he is, as far as precision is concerned, the better drummer).*

Now, can we get on to the serious drumming question, the one that will define all drumming debates for generations to come!

Whose better - Keith Moon or Animal!

*Consider this footnote to be a request for an album pack for Vapor Trails. Snakes & Arrows would be fine too. Or Counterparts, or Presto, or Roll The Bones. I'm not picky, just some later stuff as contrast to the early stuff** is fine.

**Last Footnote, really. If you're going with the early stuff more, might as well slip 2112 in there.***

***Okay, really last footnote. My order of preference in terms of drummers is Peart, Bonham, Moon. Not to say that I don't like Keith Moon, as much as I like Neil Peart and John Bonham (or, to be more precise, Rush and Led Zeppelin more).****

**** I'll get my coat.

Old. I'd still vote Peart.

[ROCKBANDFANATIC7526]

Oh how times have changed, might go with "TIE Moon and Peart.

[Gowienczyk]

I'd probably still vote for Peart. Though the slop and energy of Moon is quite undeniable.

[bjyaritz]

Not even close, It's Bonzo by a landslide. If the forum goers had a taste of Zeppelin to play on RB I am sure the vote would be much different. It's a shame Bonzo left us all to soon. I wonder what he could have done with a setup like Pearts. Overall, all 3 are great and HOF like drummers.

[Ultimatum]

Bonzo never felt comfortable behind a double bass setup or one with a double pedal, so he wouldn't like Peart's.
