;) I wouldn't say that Charlie Watts was a great drummer but a good drummer of a great band, and his style suited The Rolling Stones.

He didn't do frenetic drum solos like Ginger Baker or Keith Moon but just kept up a steady beat or as orangepicker aptly put it, the heartbeat.

I've read many comments, all waxing lyrical about his playing and quite frankly there are, and were, much better drummers out there.

An aptly named link. ;)

Who is missing is Taylor Hawkins drummer of The Foo Fighters fronted by Dave Grohl ex-drummer of Nirvana, another great drummer.

Shove it where the sun don't shine. Perry warned me about you, and he was right.
Now go and stalk someone else.

I wonder why all the secrecy about his illness, his operation and the cause of his death.
