RIP Charlie Watts Rolling Stones drummer

[20 year tech]

For a guy who played with the biggest rock and roll band of all time (my opinion) he was quiet and just a rock solid drummer. none better.
Tough to find Stones videos that arent just Mick struttin round like a rooster but heres a few.

In the early days (dont think I was even born yet for this one)

RIP Charlie

RIP Charlie

Charlie Watts and Ginger Baker, The Cream, are cut from a much better cloth than most drummers. Ginger died two years ago also at the age of 80.

Here are a couple I think you missed. Found them searching YouTube for Charlie Watts. The first one is the drum from Honky Tonk Women.

... sad day for family, friends and music fans. Charlie Watts is the first Professional drummer that I can remember.

In recent images Charlie looked to be in good health for an 80 year old man.

I cannot image how many calories Charlie must have burned during his career banging on drums.

I bit off subject but if you haven't seen it, there is a documentary about Ginger called "Beware of Mr. Baker".
Worth the watch
