Okay,

First watch this video of the band Fleetwood Mac. Watch the face of the drummer, Mick Fleetwood (An original member of the band!)

Now watch the Muppet Band drummer, Animal, and let me know if you agree with me that Mick Fleetwood is the subject of the puppet caricature.

Animal was based on Keith Moon of The Who

Hard to say, real badass frantic drummers are always animals - guess Jim Henson made a stereotype.
And if so, he hit the point! :mrgreen:

As for the eyes, you're absolutely right, Fireskull! :)

Animal can't be modelled after Neil Peart or Buddy Rich (Two more great drummers.)


Here is Neil Peart (Rush) giving tribute to the late Buddy Rich (Perhaps the greatest Jazz drummer ever), but very tame in body language compared with Mick Fleetwood or Keith Moon:

Neil Peart vs Buddy Rich drum battle:

Neil Peart is almost stoic while Buddy Rich really gets into it.

I used to be favourably compared with Muppet's Animal. Apart from the psychedelic (psychodelic?) hairstyle which I have yet to emulate.

At one gig the band wandered in and were invited to play a few songs with another bands gear - a sort of impromptu jam session for the band - and the owner of the drumkit was not best pleased. He told us his drum kit wasn't insured for assault.

Generally speaking I was too loud. They were too old, or at least that's my excuse. These days I just bore everyone with reminiscenses.... Erm...

[Fireskull]

No, Caldrail - that's cool, actually.

I think the local no name drummers are the craziest. :lol:

Some pretty crazy drumming - not as kooky as the last clip but still...
