Peter Moffett (drummer)

Peter Moffett is an American drummer who has played for the punk rock bands Government Issue, Burning Airlines, and Wool.[1] Critics have described him as "a 'listening' drummer" with a "minimal but aggressive" style who "plays for the song", shifting between odd time signatures and rock beats, and using one idea for a song's foundation while keeping other ideas in reserve.[2][3]

In 1999, Moffett publicly came out to The Advocate magazine at the age of 34.[4] He identifies as a bear and credits the tolerant attitude of the indie rock scene with saving his life.[1]
