Rock Siblings.....

Comparing Zak to Ringo is like walking into nuclear fallout without a
radiation suit.

IMO, if we're talking about musical acumen/proficiency, then my vote goes to
Zak over his dad. Zak's a tremendous musician. He's a far better fit with The
Who than either Kenny Jones or Simon Philips (who is the best of the bunch
regarding proficiency and musical acumen).

I once read that Zak learned much of his technique from Keith Moon, who
would sometimes come over to Ringo's house to hang out. Maybe
apocryphal, but it would explain certain stylistic similarities between Zak and
Keith (IMO).

Back to progeny...I have been told that Liam Finn, son of Neil Finn of
Crowded House, is quite talented.

I meant Rock's offspring. Not siblings. The kids of rock musicians we may have grown up listening to. Sorry for the confusion.
I also meant that Zak has surpassed his Dad in his drumming ability not in his accomplishments. That is undeniable.

Well as Emily Litella used to say:

"Oh, that's different.

Never mind".

:-)

Just finished watching the worthwhile Entwistle documentary "An Ox Tale." Though I had followed that band closely, I never realized that Entwistle & Moon treated each other pretty much as siblings-- in friendship, clubbing, shared bad habits, and of course bonded as R&R's best ever rhythm section. I'd cut Zak some slack on this one.

once again...go bad and listen to the 'hundreds' of classic back beats on the beatles records. 'come together' and 'the end' alone....how bout 'she loves you' or you name it......try this experiment, put on any beatles song..crank it up..listen to those drums....oh yeah...'ticket to ride'.....yep, ringo just made most of this stuff up....now listen to a record with zak. yep, he's good, but so are thousands of other technically good drummers...no rock magic instinct here whatsoever.
