Zak is his own thing. Been with a few bands and is a decent drummer. Ringo was in the right place at the right time kinda thing.
Funny story about that. Ringo never encouraged his kid to play the drums because he figured the odds of making a living at it were pretty slim. Keith Moon was his godfather. He gave Zak a kit for his eighth birthday.

THAT little fucker. Listen to Rosanna, he's running the rhythm of the song on high-hat and snare while his foot is in a completely different world following the vocals. Ridiculous!
I can't believe that no one is showing any love to the best session drummer that ever lived... Maybe because they're not aware of all of the albums that he played on. It wasn't just Toto.
