Charlie Watts appreciation post: Eternal gratitude to you, CW, for laying the foundation for your band and also bands in the generations to follow. Your beat found that elusive balance point between simplicity and sophistication, roughness and gentleness, momentum and stability. Your playing - founded on blues, jazz and r&b, a link which you regularly brought to the forefront - bridges past and future. You have been a profound inspiration! Thank you ✨ (Pic is a screen grab from The RS Rock and Roll Circus show, “Jumping Jack Flash”) ⚡️ Video is of @yeahyeahyeahs playing “Tick” in Pompano, FL, 2006. For the middle section of the song I often deliberately referenced a distinctive Charlie Watts drumming idiosyncrasy (leaving out the hi hat on 2 and 4) as well as basic feel. For the section that follows I’m thinking an amped up version of “... Satisfaction”. 💛🌟 #charliewatts #rollingstones #drums #drumming #yeahyeahyeahs #brianchase #kareno #nickzinner #inspiration PS I thought I tagged @ko in the video but it didn’t go through. @ko most definitely is in the video!!!
