There's technical, and then there's natural style of drumming. Peart is technical (orthodox), and Moon is natural (unorthodox). I think Keith Moon admitted he wasn't particularly good. He never practiced, and I believe that towards the end of his life, when he was in the grip of his addictions, he lost a lot of his ability, and he had to learn how to play again. He was naturally gifted, who had the 'feel', but did not have the gift of 'time'. You happen to know where he might have said he wasn't very good, or know what interview that was from? "I suppose as a drummer I'm adequate." ~ Disc Magazine (Sept '70) "I've got no real aspirations to be a great drummer. I don't want to channel all my energy into drumming or to be a Buddy Rich." ~ Melody Maker ('72) "I'm not used to being told to play a certain way. I'm a lousy session player." ~Melody Maker ('75)
