February 12 1951 inToronto, Ontario ) is most famous for being the drummer and vocalist (sharing vocal duties with guitarist/vocalistRik 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 ofGoddo .Moore's drum style was reminiscent of
Led Zeppelin drummerJohn Bonham . Onstage, he played a massive drum kit similar to that of fellow CanadianNeil Peart of Rush.Somewhat unusually for a drummer, he co-wrote 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.
