• After playing with a local band, the Beachcombers, he joined the Who in 1964 before they recorded their first single
• Moon was recognised for his drumming style, which emphasised tom-toms, cymbal crashes, and drum fills
• Throughout Moon's tenure with the Who, his drum kit steadily grew in size, and (along with Ginger Baker) he has been credited as one of the earliest rock drummers to regularly employ double bass drums in his setup
• Moon occasionally collaborated with other musicians and later appeared in films, but considered playing in the Who his primary occupation, and remained a member of the band until his death
• In addition to his talent as a drummer, Moon developed a reputation for smashing his kit on stage and destroying hotel rooms on tour
• He was fascinated with blowing up toilets with cherry bombs or dynamite, and destroying television sets
