It's hard to know what to say at a time like this. I was fortunate to spend some time with Charlie. I first met him when he was passing through Chicago with the Stones and he visited the shop. He loved vintage drums, and especially drums owned by drummers he admired. On that day, and for many years to follow, I sold him instruments owned by players that he loved: Big Sid Catlett, Kenny Clarke, Art Blakey, Sonny Greer, Buddy Rich, Joe Morello, Louie Bellson, Billy Gladstone, and many more. While visiting Charlie in the UK I had asked Charlie what had happened to the Ludwig sky blue 13/16/22 set that he used in the early days with the Stones. He thought the set had been given away. I was digging around and found 3 boxes with the words "my first drum set" on them. BINGO! He was thrilled! He said "my Dad bought that set for me on hire credit". I also spent time with him in his London flat, decorated with photos of the jazz musicians that he loved and admired, and not just drummers: Ellington, Basie, and many more. For hours we sat in his kitchen and talked about his favorite drummers and drank espresso. A wonderful memory. Charlie was extremely generous, especially when it came to other musicians who he respected, and who may have been having difficulties financially. Example: Charlie had his own Vic Firth drum stick. Vic asked Charlie where he wanted the checks sent for his share of the money. Charlie told Vic to send it to Joe Morello. Charlie knew that Joe was having a hard time, and he wanted to quietly do what he could for Joe. I called Charlie when I had Joe's 60s era cymbals and when Joe got his 60s era Ludwig kit back from Brubeck. Charlie bought these items without hesitation, and his generosity helped Joe and his wife Jean enjoy their later years with greater financial security. Charlie lived a good, long productive life, and he enjoyed success and family. And, he was generous and willing to help others, which is a trait I admire strongly. So, maybe now he can take the drum chair with Duke and Basie. -Steve Maxwell ?: @jess.birch #charliewatts #rollingstones
