No Keith Moon mention in here?

I think your Keith Moon's and John Bonham's are drummers that made their bands elite. They were rock star drummers who were amazingly good and as a whole "rockstar package" fit perfectly in their respective bands and it made the band better.

I think there are drummers that are technically better than them. I will not pretend to be that person that has this list of drummers that I think are amazing, or that influenced me or anything. I've played on and off since I was young. Mostly just banging along to songs in my garage and never getting technically good. I enjoy Bonham and he's probably my favorite. But when I see guys like Buddy Rich play, my jaw drops because I just can't figure out how I could ever do some of the things they do. I can watch someone slow down a rock fill and I can usually play, practice, and speed up to eventually get something that resembles it. Some jazz beats, even at the slowest tempo, I can't even get one arm to do it while the other does what it's supposed to.
