I remember reading something about this a long time ago. Because it is not necessary. By not hitting the snare with the hi-hat, then the snare sounds better. something like that.

Charlie Watts uncoordinated? I always thought he was about the best drummer ever.

Charlie and Ringo. My dream drummers. Every wanna be Neil Peart/Buddy Rich/Jack DeJohnette otta spend a good amount of time studying those two.

If you can't drum 4 bars without playing a fill you're just gonna give me a headache?

Ever tried it? It's actually just the opposite: it's easier to hit the hi hat every beat, so that it just becomes a rhythmic thing you don't have to think about. If you skip it on the snare beat, it's actually harder to accomplish smoothly. not impossible, and not super hard, but still more difficult.

I think it's just a touch/feel/detail thing, and it's part of his signature sound now. I've always liked it.

I've always dug Charlie Watts. He has a big SNAP to his snare hit that most others don't have. His drumming really fits the Stones sloppy style in that he can sound sloppy, but that's totally misleading. He's tighter than anyone but he's between all the slop (like in "Start Me Up"). Maybe nobody understands what I'm talking about....but it's something I hear.

In a weird way, I find the guy in AC/DC very similiar (thought that bands not really sloppy).

If you guys like "Slipping Away" in that video, you'd probably like "All About You". It's another very ragged gem of a Keith tune. I think it's on Emotional Rescue.

Cool Pirate clip, and they barely had to supply any wardrobe or makeup.

I know exactly what you're describing and my favourite musicians to play with are the ones who understand that. And you can't seem to teach it to anyone in my experience. You feel it or you don't.

My good friend sings in a band locally and she's pulling her hair out trying to get the bass player to get the concept that you can still play 'in time' and play 'around the time' at the same time. He doesn't get it at all. Conceptually to his mind if you aren't right on top of the beat then you aren't playing in time. It's just a tuff idea for some folks.

I think out of all the aspects of music, rhythm is the one that is most closely related to a persons individual personality. Everybody has their own unique rhythms in how they speak, walk, eat, you name it. And to try and get someone to change the way they feel rhythm is like asking them to change who they are as a person. Not easy.

It's on their album "Stripped" recorded in 1995, song is "Slippin' Away"
I have it on several of my playlists, just never get tired of it, and I don't think I would ever try to cover it.
