Keith Moon, the English musician renowned for his exceptional drumming skills, was the drummer for the rock band the Who. Joining the band in 1964, Moon quickly gained fame for his distinctive drumming style, incorporating tom-toms, cymbal crashes, and drum fills. His drum kit expanded over time, and he was among the first rock drummers to regularly use double bass drums. Moon was notorious for his wild on-stage behavior, including destroying his drum kit and hotel rooms. Despite his talent, eccentricities, and struggles with alcoholism, Moon tragically passed away in 1978 from a drug overdose. He is remembered as one of the greatest drummers in rock music history, receiving posthumous accolades and inductions into various music halls of fame.
