Good point LesPaul.

In which case it's Peart.
But if I had a choice to see Peart or Moon, then it's Moon every time.

^ I think "best" should include how well they perform too. It's all a part of being part of the band. Entertainment wise.

True enough....But i still think that my point stands

I'm suprised to see that so many of you prefer moon with almost no mention of bonham. I think that bonhamn surpasses moon in skill and possilby is more entertaining to watch as well, but it's hard to say. I have to give him alot of credit to be able to solo for sometimes in excess of 1 hour. I love watching him play moby dic k live, none of these other drummers have a moby **** like bonham's. I sort of put neil peart and danny carey in the same boat, they are both extremely talented drummers, but i do get bored watching them much sooner than bonham or moon, and i think captavating the audiences attention is a major part of drumming

^ I love Bonham, and Moby **** on How the West Was Won is out of this f-in world. However, i haven't had the pleasure of seeing him do it live. I have heard stories of Moon, however, and his drumming on the Leeds album is unbelieveable. It was a tough decision for me, but in the end i went with Moon.

(p.s. love your sig Kashmir - two excellent songs)

moon wasnt the best technically but when you see him play, he plays with a lot of passion - some musicians just play like robots - so moon gets my vote

I'm not bashing the White Stripes, I'm bashing Meg White. You're twisting my words. I'm saying Meg White is a sh*t drummer technically.
