If you think that drumming is as much about touch as it is timing (as I do) than Moon is not that great. He had one touch: hard. If you like forceful, hard driving drums then Keith is your man. However if he were a subwoofer we would call him a one note sub. I can't think of any particular song or album where I would compare his abilities to the likes of a Bonham or Peart. If someone can give me an example I'd be glad to listen. This is not to say he was'nt a good drummer. Actually I don't think you can get to the professional level and be bad. But it is to say he was not great. It's interesting how death has a tendancy to elevate someones ability in the public eye.
