Greatest Drummers Who Are More Talented Than Their Lead Vocalists

The Top Ten
1 Keith Moon (The Who) Keith John Moon was an English drummer for the rock band the Who. He was noted for his unique style and his eccentric, often self-destructive behaviour. His drumming continues to be praised by critics and musicians.

Even though Roger Daltrey was a great singer but it was Pete Townshend and Keith Moon who were the most talented members of The Who.

2 Tré Cool (Green Day) Frank Edwin Wright III, known professionally as Tré Cool, is a German-born American drummer, best known as the drummer for the American punk rock/pop punk band Green Day. He replaced the band's former drummer John Kiffmeyer in 1990.

Billie Joe Armstrong has skills of guitar and vocals but tre cool has a lot more skills in drumming.So comparably tre cool is talented than billie joe armstrong

3 Neil Peart (Rush) Neil Ellwood Peart, (September 12, 1952 - January 7, 2020) was a Canadian musician and writer best known as the drummer and primary lyricist of the rock band Rush. Peart received numerous awards for his musical performances, including an induction into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 1983, making him the youngest person ever so honoured. His drumming was renowned for its technical proficiency, and his live performances for their exacting nature and stamina.

When I added him I meant Geddy Lee's vocals skills. Not his bass skills. Because as for Geddy's bass skills and Neil's drumming skills, both of them are on top of their categories.

Greatest of great
