RIP, Charlie Watts

[Madam Bijoux]

From today's New York Times:​

Charlie Watts, Bedrock Drummer for the Rolling Stones, Dies at 80​

Mr. Watts, who had no taste for the life of a pop idol, was an unflashy but essential presence with the band and brought to it a swinging style.

 

[Madam Bijoux]

The Stones have brought joy to countless people.

Check out the simple perfection. He totally drives the song...
Discipline? He hits the crash cymbal exactly twice in the whole song.
