    This one goes out to Charlie! Thanks for the music and being such a big influence on so many of us drummers. 🙏
    CORRECTION: Charlie Watts was not the drummer on “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” it was their producer Jimmy Miller. Although that be the case, Charlie still played the same groove when they would perform the song live. So sorry for not knowing that sooner, there is only a small number of songs Mr. Watts didn’t play on and that is one of them.

      Great tribute! RIP Charlie.
      If you don't mind me asking, is that a crash/ride you are playing and if so, what kind? I'm trying to get some ideas for a minimal cymbal setup like this and I haven't had much experience with crash/ride cymbals. Trying to figure out what I can use for a crashable ride that's not too washy and not too expensive. Love your videos, you da man.

      @@hoedownsam thank you! It’s a 20’ “Zildjian Orchestral Ride” and one of my better cymbals. It’s actually not meant for drum set but for pit percussion and I bought it used for a decent price in a music shop because I was particularly drawn to how good the bell sounded.

    Hey, Cobb. Excellent take on Charlie Watts here.
    I've watched quite a few tributes to Charlie in the last few days, including several who went into his contribution and playing style but yours is by far the best.

  • @codybluetarp
    @codybluetarp 3 роки тому +5

    An excellent way to honor Charlie Watts. When i heard the signature riff on "Get off of my cloud", i remembered what kid-getting-older dreams in high school when i first heard that song. a different and yet the same time view of a musical memory brought into the present. Thanks for the workmanlike tribute to a workmanlike drummer.

    So sad Charlie Watts is gone. In my opinion he was a great drummer, because he had a unique style of drumming. I‘m a drummer myself and I think it‘s really hard to create a unique drumming style/sound.
    By the way cool video. 👍

    Interesting fact, Charlie didn't know that he lifted his hand off his high hat until he watched a video of himself playing. It gets more noticeable the older he got in my opinion. Still he always sounded great and he is still (in my opinion) the best drummer ever.

    You'd think more drummers would skip the high hat to bring out the snare like that. I guess drumming is just not as influential as guitar. Charlie is so good. I prefer his relaxed style to the hard hitters most of the time. It sounds awesome.

    And how about his drumming on the studio version (as well as the live 1969 version) of ‘Midnight Rambler’...? The stage version of ‘Midnight Rambler’ became a theatrical frantic exercise in sprinting and then galloping as the years wore on.., but in ‘69... wow Charlie, what a groove. Tempo, tempo, tempo, little up down stick with me Boys. Restrained, keeping ‘the Boys’ focused on the music..., as opposed to racing to the finish line. Charlie 🙏✌️😔

  • @michaelr4063
    @michaelr4063 3 роки тому +3

    Nice work man, good job, nice little tribute to Charlie. His legend/body of work is immense, quite possibly unequaled. His style- simply put; tight and loud, always up front but never in the way. Yeah that was Jimmy Miller on ‘YCAGWYW’ but you’re forgiven, he played it right on Charlie’s ‘groove’ FYI..., ‘It’s Only Rock and Roll (but I like it)’..., drums were laid down by master Kenny Jones (Small Faces, Faces, The Who). Was supposed to be jam session/demo/guide track drums...., when The Stones got around to recording a proper polished version of ‘IORnR..’ in the studio..., the drums laid down by Kenny were so good.., they just left em in the track! Lol, Kenny later apologized to Charlie explaining he never meant to do that, be on the record..., was just a demo, had no idea..., Charlie said (paraphrasing) ‘Don’t worry man, it sounds exactly like me anyway’ lol. Two absolute gentlemen, 2 ‘British Invasion’ drumming legends. God Bless we’ve still got Kenny. God Bless Charlie, now gone.

    Buen punto Cobb. De todas las cosas que reseñaron sobre Watts con ocasión de su muerte, nadie, ni siquiera bateristas o músicos salvo tu, había resaltado eso hecho musicalmente tan relevante de aislar casi por completo el sonido del golpe al redoblante al no tocar al tiempo el hi-hat. Sin duda alguna eso le daba al back ground percusivo de los Stones un sello muy particular
