Gil Moore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gil Moore is most famous for being the drummer and vocalist (sharing vocal duties with guitarist/vocalist Rik Emmett) of the Canadian power trio, Triumph. Before Gil was in Triumph he was in a band called Sherman & Peabody which also featured Buzz Shearman of Moxy and Greg Godovitz of Goddo.
Moore's drum style was reminiscent of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham. Onstage, he played a massive drum kit similar to that of fellow Canadian Neil Peart of Rush.
Somewhat unusually for a drummer, he cowrote and contributed lead vocals to a significant number of Triumph songs and also performed this function live. While Emmett's vocals and songwriting tended toward the more melodic side of Triumph, Moore's vocal and writing style was more heavy-metal oriented.
