Keith “The Loon” Moon - 23 August 1946 – 7 September 1978

That’s probably the best description of Keith Moon I’ve heard– He’s like the Jackson Pollock of drums, he wouldn’t paint inside the lines like the rest of the world.  Keith Moon has also been called the Jimi Hendrix of the drum kit.  His drumming directly reflected his life– loud, wild, original, inspired, and totally unpredictable.  Moon was the first Rock & Roll superstar drummer, and the first drummer to be the center of the band, as many considered him to be.
