The one and only.
picking between him and Bonham is tough - I appreceate theres loadsa technically gifted drummers in all genres, but by virtue of their playing styles (the epitomy of drumming for me ), and being part of 2 of the most talented groups IMO, these 2 are the very best.
My head says it surely has to be Bonzo: but when I hear Keith's distinctive chaotic rolling beats, well it's not so straightforward.

Maybe Moon> bonzo, I dunno, anyway he's on the top of the all-time thats for sure, though tbh I dont think much of The Who- always found them to be boring and pretentious. Zeppelin>>>>the who

Quote from the Bad News Tour:

Vim: (voice-over) But he's a bloody good drummer though, you know. When I auditioned him, he did a forty-six minute drum solo. I mean, he would have done a lot more, but... I can't stand ****ing drum solos.

Coolest drummer ever got to be Stuart Copeland- clean, precise and never boring. not a single stroke redundant or fake,- no bombastous, never-ending drum solos. Minimalist to the core.

Yeah i've always though of him as a very solid, tight drummer - but it's his writing I particularly like as it goes.
Rumblefish soundtrack was great- very origional and distictive.
And The Equalizer intro music was the best thing about that hopelessly cheesy, yet somehow enjoyable show.
