Re: Who's the best drummer? aka Percussion Discussion
and the actually drummer who played drums for animal was the house drummer on the frank skinner show.
Re: Who's the best drummer? aka Percussion Discussion
Good fact {{909}} , he was called Ronnie Verrell.
As for Keith Moon factoid , well its probably an Urban Myth. 3 of the band members of Electric Mayhem on the Muppet Show were supposedly based on the following..
Dr. Teeth is a cross between Dr. John and Elton John.
Sgt. Floyd Pepper is based on the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper album.
The original concept for Janice was a skinny, long-haired male character based on Mick Jagger.
Fans of The Who's drummer Keith Moon claim that the character of Animal was based on Keith Moon, who was known for his wild antics. However, there is no evidence in the original sketches (created by Muppet designer Michael K. Frith), for the character that suggest that he was based on anybody in particular.

No mention of Steve Gadd?? Dave Weckl? Bill Bruford? I could go on but I'm off to make a cuppa. From your list I'd say Neil Peart. By the way, Bernard Matthews breeds turkeys FFS! you mean Bernard Purdie!!
