Must admit, I don't know much about them.

Discuss.

They are very cymbalic.

You could take a crash course...

OH! I get it!

Cymbals in the subject field?

Good one STG. This is another thread that should be sticky'd. Yeah it should be stuck right up...

"It's just some friends of mine and they're busting down the door"

i'm a little slow...

Here is one of Charlie's. It and many other gems are currently on show in the following iorr thread....

Add photos of your rarities

[Did I hear a rimshot? Heh heh heh!]

Dude below Charlie is a Wizard. Absolutely the best.

Neil Peart of Rush?

Indeed! This clip is worth a look if you like drums / Rush / Neil Peart / have never heard a Newfoundland accent.





Oh, heck. One more for the Rush fans. Just in time for winter. Filmed about a mile from Chez STG.

Neil Peart before the SARS concert:

"A short, older man stepped up to me, sticking out his hand and saying something I couldn't hear. Thinking 'Now who is this?' I took out one of my ear monitors and said, 'Sorry, I couldn't hear you."
He spoke again, smiling, "Hello, I'm Charlie Watts."
"Oh!" I said taken aback, "Hello". And I shook his hand.
He asked if we were going on soon, and I said yes, any minute, and he said, with a twinkle,' 'I'm going to watch you!'
I supposed if I could have felt more pressured, that might have done it, but I was already at maximum intensity - There was no time to think of Charlie Watts and The Rolling Stones, watching them on the T.A.M.I. Show or "Ed Sullivan" When I was twelve-and-a-half, hearing "Satisfaction" snarling down the midway at Lakeside Park, Gimme Shelter at the cinema in London, listening to Charlie's beautiful solo album, Warm and Tender, so many times late at night in Quebec, or any of the other million times that Charlie Watts and his band had been a part of my life.

Geddy e-mailed me later and mentioned that scene:

BTW, I will never forget that moment before we went on stage when Charlie Watts came over to shake your hand (at the worst possible moment!) and watching you face go through all the motions of ... a. who is this old guy? b. what does he want? c. oh for gods sakes it's Charlie Watts!"

Beauty, eh? Thanks Rialb!
