Charlie Watts’ Greatest Rolling Stones’ Drum Licks

Charlie Watts
Isolated TrackRareyoutube

For 58 years, Charlie Watts manned the drum kit behind Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, the unflappable bedrock of the Rolling Stones sound. Compared to his British Invasion contemporaries, he wasn’t a bombastic virtuoso like Keith Moon, and a gregarious personality didn’t shine through his playing like Ringo Starr. Instead, Watts was a drummer’s drummer, always in the pocket, always finding the perfect fill to serve the song. With his dapper suits and knowing smile, he was the mysterious one who gave few interviews and famously listened to more jazz than Rock ’n’ Roll. Find out what the critics and DJ Gerry feel are his best Rolling Stones drum licks. Rolling Stone's music Sound bites, isolated drum tracks and rare video clips are included. There were a lot of songs to choose from so feel feel to leave a comment below with your favorites! Thank you DJ Dallas and DJ Silene for all your amazing video topic suggestions and for all your support and encouragement!! #CharlieWatts #BestRollingStonesDrumLicks #TheRollingStones Please follow DJ Gerry on Instagram and he will follow you back: https://www.instagram.com/dj_gerry007/
