Dave Swift, Jools Holland, Charlie Watts, Steve White & Gilson Lavis "HoneyDripper"

[rael1999]

Yeah of course every drummer who watches this can see that Charlie is technically way out of his depth...but does that really matter.

Speed and flashy rolls aren't what moves the groove guys...ask all those that have been to all The Stones concerts and danced there arses off.

Charlie is a humble, warm , non flashy stick twirling drummer who produces the beats necessary to drive Jagger's and Richard's compositions that have rocked many a stadium around the world !

[hartbrakers]

For all the negative posts about Charlie's drumming, I strongly suggest that you listen to the "Jamming with Edward" cd. He's amazing.

As classy and tasteful Charlie Watts is, the man has absolutely ZERO chops. I doubt he could play a proper double stroke roll to save his life. But as humble as he is I think he would be the first one to admit this. He never ever made himself out to be better than he is, and always promoted other players than himself. Pure class.

@buzonperiodista when someone who doesn't know everything about the stones, charlie watts and drums, he shut up

[vinomariani100]

IMPRESIONANTE!!!! MUY BUENOO

[buzonperiodista]

Since Watts didn't even plunge into a proper solo, I believe the reason of his appearance on the show was only promotional.

[ukraininoak]

Look at the " Love " in Charlie's eyes !

[chungiemunchin]

It looks like Charlie is intimidated by the other two drummers. He starts a little lick in the breaks but really chokes and ends up playing some pretty stiff and stilted stuff. Now worries though because out of the three drummers up there, Charlie is probably the only millionaire, earning his millions by his drumming!

[stones441]

hei czarli jesli When it play read answer kolwiek. You are my favorite drummers /. Take you with (from) in this century (age) on collapsing in (to) kąd stonsah?

[Adolfozicarelli]

There is absolute no doubt CHARLIE IT'S THE GREATEST ROCK 60 and 70 DRUMMER IN THE WORLD... All the drummers ar backup when hi is up there. Charlie WE LOVE YOU!

[Chriz0190]

Steve destroys them, ;)

[winksoda86]

Charlie's the MAN. Mr. Taste and Feel!!!!

[glisnake]

The house drummer belongs in Vegas!!! Hahaha

[stevedrums]

I can't get this friggin' tune out of my head!!!!!!!

[MMRJL]

Charlie plays one of his great Getsch drumsets - jazz, boogie woogie or best rock and roll band there will ever be- less is more, proven.

[JamieBanni]

Lavis is the man.

[JamieBanni]

Lavis is the fucking man.

[dancheyne]

As much as I enjoy and respect subtle musicality, I'm afraid I find Charlie Watts generally underwhelming. I've noted the remarks below of his style not being "flashy" and it's an adjective I've used in defence of Ringo Starr against his detractors. But I think the one time a drummer not only has licence to, but perhaps ought to pull the stops out a little is for a "Drum Extravaganza". It doesn't require a show-off to play technically impressive and interesting fills.

[dancheyne]

@dancheyne

I should add I did enjoy this :)

[GATisdale]

@dancheyne

Obviously, you don't know anything about a one-handed roll! Good luck with your life, living in the cave of life before "Let It Bleed.:

[dancheyne]

@GATisdale

Well done on the pissy remark. I always welcome enlightenment, even if I'm forced to eat my words in the process. But you've opted for sneering and sloppily repetitive metaphors.

[drummer78]

Charlie's hero was Dave Tough. Dave Tough was beloved as one of the greats of jazz drumming. He played with Goodman and Woody Herman (amoung others). Like, Charlie, he prefered to just swing rather than solo. No big deal. Just enjoy.

[paparrapaparrapapum]

YEAH

[pektus5]

steve white is best

[DavySolaris]

@Lester1Beck "All this drugged up american gay boy crap of today"... what a fucking ignorant thing to say.

[mapexblack]

Charlie is good man, but hell steve and gilson..........in my view better. I have a lot of respect for Mr watts i aint slaggin him off.

[kelllydonia]

Wow this is so cool, how'd I miss this being televised. Go Charlie Boy!!

[RAY2424]

charlie lays it down

[GATisdale]

@RAY2424

For damned sure!

[scrumpyviking]

@Lester1Beck Well said!!!!!!!

[scrumpyviking]

Now that's what i call music, performed by true greats!!!!

[hughvane]

Give me the Animal vs Buddy Rich drumming contest any day! Naaaah, kidding. Really enjoyed this, especially Jools coming back in on piano @ 2.44 ..... playing off-key!

[wizardalvin]

should have hade Uffers [cats eyes] there as well

[fokrobot]

CHARLIE !!!!! ..he truly has style and one hell of a unique style. WATTS really teases like being 'lazy' but sjitttttt, there's that built-in swiss clockwork that sets his GREATEST GROUP ON EARTH and jazzy bands right on time: He absolutely is one of the coolest people on the planet ;-)

[stoker243]

charlei watts and steve white are 2 of my drumming heros!

[SimonDolan]

Gilson Lavis is a fantastic drummer.

[Tasslehoff613]

WTF?!? No way! Charlie swings like no other, his style isn't flashy, and I respect him for that.

[RogueTrader101]

Charlie is the perfect backing musician, never showy, just does the job! Possibly the nicest guy in Rock too!

[me1onhead]

Loving that muddy bass sound!!

[PoeticMisanthropy]

Thank you a million times over for posting this! I've been looking for this video ever since I discovered the internet! My favourite drumming clip with my favourite drummer (Gilson Lavis)!
