Ok Real Dodger, don't disagree with you a lot but if you listen to Moon when he was on, such as "Live at Leeds, Deluxe", his double bass pounding and the work on the toms really provided the absolute bottom for the band and they were never the same without him. I'd also nominate Mitch Mitchell from the Experience as the playing is always different without a rhythm guitarist-many more fills, so; it requires a bit of overdrumming but both of these guys pull it off. Quite frankly, like Buddy Miles on Band of Gypsies with the steady high hat play! There was a drummer for Rod Stewart who played with Jeff Beck who was also awesome, and then finally, gotta say Ginger Baker who was the epitome of an artist, according to Clapton.
