PlayDrums.com / PMC Statement on Charlie Watts

The Percussion Marketing Council and all our members are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of drumming legend Charlie Watts today. Charlie made playing drums joyful and contagious. While the places he played got super-sized, he stayed true to a simple four-piece drum kit. His dedication to his instrument and his band influenced a generation of players. We will always be obliged to Charlie for all he did for drumming and the music industry. RIP Charlie.
