That is sad to hear. I always loved his drumming and his style.

Awww man. Sorry Charlie

Charlie-Cam:

I like that he is like a fricken metronome and plays with the minimum flash. Everything he plays is a perfect fit for the song; nothing more, nothing less. Solid as hell and always totally under control, which is a great contrast to Jagger and Richards and their more over the top styles.

I’ll definitely be scheduling some time to listen to Exile sometime this week.

I’ll definitely be scheduling some time to listen to Exile sometime this week.

I've already been on Mick Taylor bender the past week or two and I've been listening to Ya-Ya's, Brussels Affair, and Ladies and Gentlemen.

A couple of guys in work were talking about him last week when he said he wouldn't tour.

I mentioned that his parts sound easy but they're really tricky to pull off properly because he plays trad grip and does that thing where he doesn't play the 3 on his hi hat. Putting both together is a pita, unless you're Charlie.

RIP Charlie and thanks for the beats.
