Keith Moon (23 August 1946 – 7 September 1978) was an English drummer of the rock group The Who. He gained acclaim for his exuberant and innovative drumming style and notoriety for his eccentric and often self destructive behavior, earning him the nickname "Moon the Loon." Moon joined The Who in 1964. He played on all albums and singles from their debut, 1965's "I Can't Explain", to 1978's Who Are You, which was released three weeks before his death.
Moon was known for dramatic, suspenseful drumming--often eschewing basic back beats for a fluid, busy technique focused on fast, cascading rolls across the toms, ambidextrous double bass drum work and wild cymbal crashes and washes. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest rock and roll drummers of all time.
One of the best drummers ever. And a funny guy.
