John Bonham is the best drummer to date, there should be no disagreeing with this. His live solos played with the palms of his hands.
I actually have his symbol tattooed on my forearm. (I'm a drummer).
Keith Moon was pretty nuts, well "The Loon" I suppose. He's great, but he's not number 1, he's actually not even number 2. Neil Peart edges him out for the second spot.
