His quintet has put out s few albums, and he also enjoys swing and big band.

Ronnie Wood paints on the side (usually portraits), and has a fairly new book out containing his art.
(By ‘new’, I mean or 1 1/2 years old)

Charlie Watts is without doubt one of the greatest drummers in the history of rock. He ain't no Neil Peart.

Neil Peart is to drums what Joe Satriani is to guitar. Technically awesome, but his style would be all wrong for a band like the Stones. Frankly I get bored with shredding (or whatever the drum equivalent is) after about five minutes. IMHO the best drummers have the chops but don’t feel the need to show them off all the time. My experience was usually the biggest problem with drummers is getting them to play less.
