< I don't think that you can begin to compare Zak to Keith. He's certainly
 adequate, but no Keith. Bangs hard, not all THAT fast and doesn't do all

 much that's creative. He reminds me actually of Simon Elliot, who drummed on
 McVicar and the mini-Daltrey tour of '85... 
 
 Personally, I think Steve Luongo would do a better job... >


My point was that Zak displayed flashes of energy that were a decided
improvement over Kenny and would have made Keith proud.  As to a direct
comparison to Keith - that's absurd...Keith's unique flamboyance and mania
was unsurpassed and his approach to the drum kit and his role in the Who is
beyond compare.
