Tool’s drummer Danny Carey is pretty phenomenal. Youtube Video
And semi-babe Janet Weiss ain’t bad either. Though Sleater-Kinney broke up. Boo hoo. Here she is banging and shaking on Letterman a few years back.
There may not be a Keith Moon around anymore, banging on the drums like he had 8 arms (hence nickname Octopus). Moon’s kind of a unique animal; he violated all the rules and played drums as a lead instrument much of the time while Townshend kept rhythm with his guitar. He didn’t just keep time like most drummers, he added density and texture and unpredicatability to the music. Here’s a short bio and a live performance.
