Another great gone, this time its Charlie Watts


At 80.  Seriously, a great drummer. I  think.  Such a loss.

bdp24,
A different style completely, but for technical ability as well as impeccable taste, what do you think of Aynsley Dunbar?
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.
