Charlie Watts was the mist minimal drummer I ever heard.
High hat snare.
That’s it.
If you’re wanting to diss Charlie to me tonight of all nights, you’re barking up the wrong tree. Is there a polite way to tell you to GFY?
Great drummers don’t need to hide behind cymbals and 12 tom-toms. Watts was humble but amazing. Simple, humble, and timeless.
