madshadows Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Terrible news, such a fantastic drummer, the heartbeat of the Rolling Stones John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I’m sure I read somewhere that on a drumbeat where the hi-hat is hit 4 times with the snare hit on the 4th Charlie didn’t hit the hi-hat on the 4th so as to make the snare sound better and more precise. Not seen/heard many drummers do this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Although I'm sure he had his moments, he always appeared to be content to let the others play up to the audience/cameras/press, whilst being the well attired, dapper gent at the back holding things together. In that alone he was always the coolest stone of all. Rest easy Charlie, and thanks for sharing sixty years of your life with us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Sad loss indeed, a great drummer for sure, never showing off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykilz Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Dan Reed posted that when the Network opened for the Stones in 1990, Charlie had his own sewing machine on tour and repaired his own suits on tour. That's pretty classy. RIP Charle Watts 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davepb24 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Always loved the story about an inebriated Mick Jagger phoning his room in the middle of the night and Charlie getting up, washed and suited up and going to give Jagger a smack in the gob ...

chris_b Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I saw The Stones at the O2 and the whole evening was anchored by Charlie's drumming. He never missed a beat and underpinned the band in a simple, effective and fantastic way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassace Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Was Charlie’s drum tech the cushiest job in rock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbd1960 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I like that he had the money from the Stones to run his own full size big band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
