My age will show here but the drummer that comes to mind first as a famous rock drummer is Keith Moon. Sadly he left us early after consuming mass quantities of drugs as was usually the case back then. The circumstances of his death are eerie if you read what happened, including the location he died at.
I agree,Keith Moon was awesome!! I just looked up his death. I had no idea he died while living in the same flat Cass Elliot passed away in. From Wiki:
*In mid-1978 Moon moved into Flat 12, 9 Curzon Place (later Curzon Square), Shepherd Market, Mayfair, London, renting from Harry Nilsson. Cass Elliot had died there four years earlier, at the age of 32;[145][146] Nilsson was concerned about letting the flat to Moon, believing it was cursed. Townshend disagreed, assuring him that "lightning wouldn't strike the same place twice".[147]*
