Steve Prestwich RIP

Former Cold Chisel drummer, Steve Prestwich, passed away a couple of days ago after he was diagnosed with a brain tumour two weeks ago.

Some Aussie drummers aren't well-known in other countries but Steve was a fine player. When he started out he was a pretty straightforward rocker with good feel and groove but as time went on his playing became more sophisticated.

Here's a few of my Chisel favourites.

He will be missed.
 
Thanks Polly! I appreciate your input regarding Steve. Always learn something new every day - from every drummer, even if it´s passed away...Rest In Peace.
 
He wasn't much older than me. Same with Harvey James, who died the day before Steve did. Sobering ...

There's a bit of life left in the young gal yet, isn't there? :)

Great links too btw.......I got lost on youtube for over an hour last night listening to old Chisel classics. Still can't get Goodbye Astrid outta my head this morning!!
