	Keith Moon
		Moon felt that the drums should be front and center stage, the drummer an exciting and integral part of the band, not a stone faced time keeper as was the norm in the early days of rock.
		Keith Moon's style was unique and not before or since has there been a drummer that was as exciting both on record and in concert, the whole time throwing all the rules and discipline of a drummer out the window.
		Keith Moon's one and only attempt at a solo album while in California turned out to be a long studio party with fellow drinking buddies Ringo Starr and Harry Nilsson, just to mention a few.

	Drummerworld: Keith Moon
		Keith Moon was best known as a member of the Who, but he was far more than that, even within the context of his role within the group.
		Moon, with his manic, lunatic side, and his life of excessive drinking, partying, and other indulgences, probably represented the youthful, zany side of rock and roll, as well as its self-destructive side, better than anyone else on the planet.
		Moon's musical importance was similar to that of Brian Jones in the Rolling Stones.

		Moon, with his manic, lunatic side, and his life of excessive drinking, partying, and other indulgences, probably represented the youthful, zany side of rock & roll, as well as its self-destructive side, better than anyone else on the planet.
		When Jones left the Stones, to die just a few weeks later, they became more professional musically; they settled down with a true and admirable virtuoso in the guise of Mick Taylor, and their sound tightened up, but the youthful edge, the teenage lust was gone, not only from their sound but from their playing.
		Moon occasionally played on other peoples' records, but he only finished and released one solo album of his own, Two Sides of the Moon (though another may have been planned in 1975).

	Keith Moon
		Tuning was critical because of the equal sizing of the drums, and Moon was extremely demanding – "The tuning of Moon’s drums was a revelation…The sound from Moon’s superbly-tuned kit was awesome – unlike some of the other headliners’ kits I’d found myself playing." (Jeff Brown briefly subbing for Moon in May 1966 [from ‘Mojo’]).
		Moon was never as quadrapedal as Baker and he was never able to maintain a dialogue between all his limbs.
		Moon would explode with his left and often match it with his right but each going in different directions – thus the layout of the drums with the middle mounted tom tuned higher and then the left and right lower plus the left floor tom.

		Keith Moon was my inspiration, because listening to him made it seem the drums were important, that they were as an intregal part of the music as any other element of the ensemble.
