Also BJ Wilson of Procol Harum. Tons of fills, etc. once described as looking like an octopuss playing his kit.
Moon wa sa 'lead drummer', he played the drums like a frontline instrument, not a rhythm player.
Alan White with yes and Carl Palmer both shwed great rhythm ability and lead drummer capability with massive drum kits at their disposal.
