Another great gone, this time its Charlie Watts

bdp24, A lot of drummers think that Jim Gordon is the best rock drummer of all time.
  
I grew up emulating more of the jazz drummers than the rock;
Philly Jo Jones, Art Taylor, Paul Motian, and more recently Joey Baron.

Oddly enough, I'm currently experiencing Bob Will's and His Texas Playboys, The Tiffany Transcriptions. I think it was Louis Armstrong who said 'There's Only Two Types of Music, Good and Bad'.

I think it’s safe to say, Charlie Watts would have been a blast talking with about drummers, jazz, etc...

Charlie has moved on to rock and roll Heaven,and the Stones will never be the same.Check out "Paint it Black",and "19th Nervous Breakdown", for some great drumming.

Charlie was a pioneer in the early days of Rock. Way back, and for a few years in a row, he was voted #1 rock drummer by Playboy magazine. I loved his intros on a number of songs. His style fit the music perfectly, and that’s the job of a good drummer. I love listening to Get Yer Ya Yas Out because of Charlie. Great Stuff and he was a musical drummer who came up with his own riffs.

Also we must not forget Don Everly died on the 21st RIP.
