Usually I can hear the pianos, the saxophone, and usually I can hear Ronnie. But I really need to listen to Keith and Mick. The rest of the band is sort of an embellishment to that. Charlie Watts bandembellishmenthear Change image and share on social
I think you get to a point where you watch something just to enjoy it. I don't think it's really done so that you're supposed to feel, Oh, he's the most wonderful drummer. I think the whole lot is what's more enjoyable. Charlie Watts drummerenjoyenjoyable share on social
I don't need to hear Bill to go through a song. I need to hear Keith to go through a song. I know Bill will be playing what I'm playing anyway. I need to hear Keith because it's all there: the time, the chord changes, and all the licks you have to follow. Charlie Watts billchordfollow share on social
It's been years and years and years I've been playing the drums, and they're still a challenge. I still enjoy using drumsticks and a snare drum. Charlie Watts challengedrumdrumstick Change image and share on social

I'm very strict with my packing and have everything in its right place. I never change a rule. I hardly use anything in the hotel room. I wheel my own wardrobe in and that's it. Charlie Watts changehotelpack Change image and share on social

We always work at least a month to six weeks before we go on the road, usually for something like eight to 12 hours a night. It took six weeks to do it this time. We just play virtually everything we know. Charlie Watts hourmonthnight share on social

When I was a kid I never learned to play. I actually got in bands through watching people play and copying them. Charlie Watts bandcopykid Change image and share on social
