Happy. They started jamming in Keith's basement at Nellcote, and Charlie wasn't there, so Jimmy Miller filled in on drums. Bill Wyman wasn't there either, so Bobby Keys played the basslines on a baritone sax. (Keith overdubbed a bass part later).

Its Only Rock'n' Roll. Kenney Jones, of the Faces, on drums. Willie Weeks on bass. Rhythym tracks recorded in Ron Wood's basement, when he was still in the Faces.

A couple of songs where Jimmy Miller plays drums and not Charlie: You Can't Always Get What You Want, Happy and Shine a Light.

I thought there were more that Jimmy Miller played on, but couldn't remember which ones. Thanks.

Jimmy Miller plays partially on Tumbling Dice.

It's either Charlie or Steve Jordan on Dirty Work, not Ronnie. Ronnie only played on Sleep Tonight as far as everything I've ever read.

And there are tracks without drums, but with some percussion played by someone else. I think all the percussion on Gomper is by Brian and the congas on Factory Girl are by Rocky Dijon.

Plus some tracks don't have anyone on drums or other percussion: Play With Fire,
Lady Jane, As Tears Go By....

This is Ronnies own account explained on one of his recent shows on Absolute Rock Radio?

I seem to remember my UK version of "High Tide & Green Grass" there was a blurb in there where it said something about Charlie playing tamborine against someone's shoe(?) I'm presuming maybe PWF ... but could be wrong ...

There are no congas on Factory Girl, it's a tabla and it's played by Charlie.

An error in judgment on Charlie's part.

Why would he say that now and not when he said he played on Sleep Tonight? And alluded to that being the only song he played drums on? Sleep Tonight is messy - Dirty Work is much tighter. No way that's Ronnie on drums! It's gotta be Jordan if it ain't Watts.

Brian was busy playing electric dulcimer and recorder on Gomper. Charlie plays tabla on the track.

Oh, yes, of course, the Gomper credits have been sorted out.

About Factory Girl, Nico's site has Rocky on congas but Charlie on percussion; Keno just has Rocky on congas; timeisonourside has Charlie on tabla and the track talk here has Charlie on percussion.

Charlie's not on Following the River.

Btw, there's more Wood on drums: What Am I Gonna Do With Your Love, Some of Us are on Our Knees and Invitation (with Don Covay), all from '85.

It's Charlie on Dirty Work. Ronnie himself stated (I read it somewhere) that he also played drums on Too Rude, but I'm not too sure about that. And he played on Sleep Tonight, of course.

You think so? The drums on Sleep Tonight are messy, but kinda charming, and suit the song, imo. There are also a few fills in there that sound great.

Charlie played tablas on Factory Girl, he even stated he played them with drum sticks.

On Factory Girl, I was doing something you shouldn't do, which is playing the tabla with sticks instead of trying to get that sound using your hand, which Indian tabla players do, though it's an extremely difficult technique and painful if you're not trained.

Skipstone my original post names Dirty Work as the album on which Sleep Tonight is the track Ronnie stated he played with Charlies blessing. I did not mean Ronnie played drums on the Dirty Work track. Cheers

ah...that's what i thought you meant.


IORR............but I like it!

Does he play on Continental Drift?

I thought they wiped Kenny Jones and had Charlie redo it. NO?

Charlie was replaced by thousands of screaming teenage girls on 'We Want the Stones'.

Sorry belld - you said it like this - "Dirty Work.Sleep Tonight." and then at the end of the thread said "Others?". It wasn't clear that you meant the LP instead of the song...

There are a few tracks where Mick and Ron play the initial drumming, but the final version is played by Charlie. Fx: You Don’t Have To Mean It.

It sure sounds like him, but I suspect sampling/programming.
