I can agree whole-heartedly with that one; even though I'm of the opinon that
Zak is better than his dad. The drumtrack on RAIN contains the best Moon
impression since Mitch Mitchell.

I think Ringo was a decent drummer at best during the PLEASE PLEASE ME to
RUBBER SOUL period, but then really started to blossom, especially during the
LET IT BE years. A big part of that could have been McCartney, as he tried to
be a musical arranger for many of the Beatles' songs. He might have, let's
say, stifled him a bit. Ringo never showed his true talent in those early
years, but Zak, on the other hand, is showing off everything he's got.
