    Deid - the swingingest drummer in RnR and jazz

    Charlie Watts of the Stones, aged 80. FFS. He did more with a rudimentary eight piece kit than most drummers could dream of.

    This is getting too close to home now.

    Fuuck.

    We will all have our day but 80 isn't too bad I suppose considering the amount of people I know who got nowhere near that age .rest in peace I'm sure you'd life was fulfilled and you had a ball.

    In 1988, he described the 25th anniversary of the Stones as “5 years of playing drums and 20 of hanging around”.

    His jazz stuff is top dollar.

    "Mick Jagger once called Charlie's room late at night looking for "my drummer." Watts got up, showered, shaved, dressed in a shirt & tie, went to Jagger's room, punched him in the face, said "don't ever call me your drummer again. You're my fuucking singer," then went back to bed."
