Gil Moore (born October 4, 1953 Toronto, Ontario, Canada) was 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.
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 blues/hard rock oriented.
Gil Moore is the owner of Ontario, Canada's biggest recording studio Metalworks Studios located in Mississauga. The studio has been around for over 30 years and has recorded acts such as Drake, Guns N' Roses, Aerosmith, Katy Perry, Black Eyed Peas, Jonas Brothers and many more. On October 3, 2002 Gil Moore was presented with the Business and the Arts Award from the Mississauga Board of Trade in recognition of ‘Outstanding Contribution to the Arts Community of Mississauga’.
