Where?

For a few times there, I don't think Moon or Bonham were even aware they were playing drums.

Moon more so.

I think they were aware they were playing the drums, I just don't think they were aware that anyone else was playing anything

Gotta be Moon, if only for the quote, "Have a little respect; it's a fuckin' OPERA!"

Absolutely no contest.

They are both terrible actresses...

Oh Moony couldn't keep time, gawdbless'im, though in some ways the most expressive drummer in rock.
But for guitarists....it's gotta be Bonham: it's the space, the groove, and the weight.

The best synthesis of both schools of drumming during the period before Moon's death (and additionally the school of drumming that dealt with head too, apart from just heart and gonads) of course was Bruford: though he got better technically, his invention on the album 'Red' (1974) still astonishes. I think mad percussionist Jamie Muir had something to do with it.

Moon was more fun to drink with, I gather. Bonham, like Mike Tyson has, had this peculiar ability to moke one wish oneself always on the other side of the planet from, if you'll excuse me ending with a preposition. So if it's for a drink, Moon: but in the studio, with proper shackles and restraints (and a veterinarian on hand) it's Bonham every time.

Are you talking about Sydney Moon vs. Helena Bonham Carter?

Moon if only for the "Won't Get Fooled Again"

Oh man, I loved Helena in Planet Of The Apes ...
