accentuates the riff so much

the double kick drum hit thing he does

the groove

never really thought about it but hes the most important Stone after Mick and Keith

main factor to the danceability/movement in their music, which they had over any of the other Brit invasion acts (and almost any rock band in general). seeing them live really made me realize what an important aspect that is to their sound

Yeah he was the tasteful Yin to Keith Moons wild ass Yang. My top two drummers (the only ones I really care to mention when talking about faves)

big influence in incorporating jazz influence on the key sound of rawk too. so much so that you don't even think about the jazz influence when you listen to him, it just sounds like pure rock

Yeah I could tell he was a jazz snob the first time I laid eyes on him in this video. First footage I saw of the classic lineup and I was confused by who this weird little homunculus was playing this weird instrument (Brian) and impressed but how cool and steady the drummer was.

Mitch Mitchell too

Also the only Stone to really put Jagger in his place referred to Charlie as merely "his drummer" in the mid 80s and caught hands

Damn RIP

last minute

yea Sympathy for the Devil's drums are lightly borrowed from an Ornette Coleman composition. most of the best drummers have jazz backgrounds tbh

Roger McGuinn gets the most credit for bringing jazz influences to rock and roll with 8MH but I read an interview the other day where he was giving it to the Zombies and She's Not There for inspiring him to do it in the first place

It doesn't have much to do with Charlie but I thought it was interesting

She's Not There for sure got a jazzy backbone to it.
Mitch Mitchell's main influence was Elvin Jones one of the GOAT jazz drummers...honestly wouldn't be surprised if most of our favorites from the 60s were influenced by jazz musicians. Jazz and Blues did so much for rock, black musicians really don't get there due.

kinda makes me hate Zeppelin just thinking about it

Think I'd completely internalised that Stones would just live forever. RIP king

yeah zeppelin are especially guilty because they would barely rewrite the songs, just enough to not have to give credit where its due. just do a cover so the original songwriter can get some shine like the british invasion boys did you a******s.

i just made that post and then a bunch of horses floated up over the screen wtf

you must not have typed goat lately

when was this a thing

yea and the OG's barely got any of the money Zep got from stealing all their songs smh

GOAT

Wtf it didn't do anything

yea I tried again and it didn't work

it's a :mystery:

might just be mobile android
