The most bemused solid drummer in rock.

Major loss...80 years we should all be so lucky to have!

 

[DrummerCA35]

Along with everyone else, loved his feel and playing. We play "Miss You" and "Jumping Jack Flash" in our band and I always think of Charlie when I play these songs.

Huge loss, but he leaves a huge legacy.

 

[Bo Eder]

I’m a huge fan. He will be missed

Well damn. RIP Charlie. I would never have bet Keith would've outlived any of them.
Sad news.

He may have only spent “5 years playing and 20 years hanging around” with the Stones but he sure has a lot to show for it…a true giant of the drumming community.
