Based on those videos, I agree. I think Keith is doing a great job. It will be interesting to see how that translates in the studio.There are some videos on youtube with Carlock now:

He really smokes and is the perfect choice for Toto.
Its an amazing backbeat he has - IMHO
There is also another youtube toto video now with a Carlock solo.
When I listen to Rosanna, there is a strong 8th note pulse. With Porcaro this would be more smothened out, so the shuffle would become more prominent. This may howeever be because of the PA mix.
Anyway Carlock is very effective and I am sure the band is very happy.

From Simon's personal FB page:
I am deeply touched by this outpouring of expression…
… yes, it is true - after 21 years I have called my time with Toto.

According to Toto's site, a studio album is already in the works.
I was in a drum solo contest with Keith in 1986 when he was like 14. He was a badass back then too.
I bet Steve Jordon could serve the Toto gig well.
That's an interesting twist!As it seems, Carlock in now out. Shannon Forrest is doing Toto's world tour, as Keith choose Steely Dan over Toto. From the people I know, that also know Luke and Shannon, this is permanent. Carlock did record the new Toto XIV album, though.
