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

[Ultimatum]

Gotta go with Moon the Loon.

Neal Peart.

Moon, while sloppy had energy. So he's a good match for Bonam. But Peart has and always will be more well-practiced and structured than those two. So it's a no duh answer here.

Peart is rather lifeless when he plays though. Even during the less rhythmically complicated parts.

I wouldn't call the percussion sections on songs like One Little Victory, lifeless. Unless you mean showmanship on live concerts... well, that doesn't matter a whole lot in a debate about skill.

Moon > Peart > Bonham.

[franticfish]

Moon for me, theres something about his playing that fascinates me.
Regarding Bonham, I've always liked Ian Paice's playing more and IMO 'The Mule>>>Moby ****'

On the contrary, I find it does. Live performances are where a band shows their true colors, I saw Rush live and while Peart is incredibly solid, he's lifeless and doesn't really feel the parts.
