I've always been a fan of Keith Moon. And a few weeks back I saw this young kid bashing the drums playing with The Who on the BBC in the Jools Holland Show. I was impressed. His name: Zak Starkey Edit: Just found out he is indeed the son of Ringo (Richard Starkey) So that doesn't make him a young kid either. Ha, ha This is what they say about him Zak’s drumming is the best fit in The Who since Keith Moon pillaged and pounded the skins during the band’s ’60s/’70s glory days. On The Who Live: The Blues To The Bush CD and The Who Live At The Royal Albert Hall DVD, Starkey integrates within The Who as no one since the mad “Moon the loon” himself. The other drummers who followed Moon in that exalted drum chair—great players indeed—displayed a keen knowledge of Keith’s kinetic drum fills and expansive time feel. But Zak’s combination of organic cohesion and natural fluidity is closer to Moon’s than anyone. Indeed, Pete Townshend himself has called Zak “the karmic Keith Moon.” Here's a short clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYBL2q-VHiQ&feature=related Title: Re: Whom do you consider the best Drummer?
