Drummers are very stuck people. Even if they are loud, they are the last thing you want to hear. They have insecurities because everyone has turned to their side. The secret of the band is here; There is no magnificence without a great drummer. RIP Charlie Watts pic.twitter.com/sAcE7SYiBY

Charlie Watts is a very elegant and decent drummer in rock and roll. He played exactly what he needed to – no longer – no less. He is a kind. pic.twitter.com/aasPZ2fMYX
