It is interesting. Bonham was supposed to have be been a quarter beat off. Page said it worked like how the drums beat in Reggae. Supposed to be appealing to the human ear. I'm not savvied enough to know how, but that is what Page said in an interview.
Jim makes a good point, but I am not so sure if Charlie deliberately stiffened up in every song. I have heard Charlie sound very loose and grooving in many songs. Charlie may do this in certain uptempo songs, or if a song is taken too fast live, but I have always heard plenty of swing and swagger in Charlie's playing. Listen to 19th Nervous Breakdown, Honey Tonk Woman, and Miss You. Charlie has incredible feel! My one beef with the Stones is that they went through a period where they took some of their hits too fast, and the groove wasn't the same a the record. Just depends on what era you saw them in.
Real intressting talk😊❤Who is this guy i wonder??😊and Charlie even play in Jazzclubs in London❤❤he love jazz more than Rock music I think.He dont like to be celebrite he like to be with his family his wife Shirley😢R.I.P both off you❤❤I love Charlie and miss him so much a handsom beautiful and gentleman Who like his suit he wear real wonderful and ❤❤❤❤so fine man..😢❤❤❤
Some very nice insight! Makes total sense though, and Charlies way of playing could also come from jazz itself: in jazz, it’s deemed a bit silly if the drummer mimics the soloist. It’s better to play something different that still supports the soloist. In a way, that’s what Charlie then did with Keith.
I started playing traps in the late 60s. Been in a dozen bands. And I've known countless drummers and musicians. No one, let me repeat, no one has ever mentioned Watts as an inspiration or as a good drummer. Charlie was in one of the biggest bands ever and is essentially invisible. He was that bad.

Charlie Watts, the heartbeat of the Stones. Nobody can replace him.
He not only rocked the Stones but swung the Stones !
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day also Charlie watts is a legend ❤😊
Interesting and very cool insight. It seems to me that I can hear what he's talking about real well in Street Fighting Man.
Charlie is my #1 drummer.
Very interesting, Charlie said on many occasions that the drums lagged Keith. But he never really explained how he made work and sound good.

Hi for years had no idea Charlie was a much drummer than he displayed playing with the stones

Charlie and Brian were miles ahead of the rest of band when it comes to the music. I don’t think Mick & Keith would have got that far without them.
Love Charlie. ❤

2:32 you're online now forever buddy. Still glad you wore those pink fluffy slippers to this taping ? 😆

He invented the damn sound
Charlie was not a jazz drummer. He was a drummer who dabbled in jazz music. Charlie STIFFENED UP? What?
Listen closer to what Keltner is saying ...
I think he means in terms of playing straight - not his grip. Like laying down the backbeat.
Charlie was absolutely a jazz drummer! He made a living playing in one of the world's greatest rock bands which made him a smart jazz drummer.
From what I’ve read he was playing jazz in small clubs in Britain before the Stones recruited him.
I saw his jazz band at the Blue Note in Manhattan 30 years ago.
Most bands follow the drummer. The Rolling Stones followed Keith. That’s what gives their wagon its unique wobble.
Him and Ringo are ordinary
Just a basher like us all , no more no less ! Music is music ..end of..

You got to be kidding. He's not a good drummer, but then again nobody in the Rolling Stones is a good musician. But the song writing was legendary.
He was absolutely terrible, but he FIT.....
Charlie net worth is $100 million. Thats alot of terrible.
