Who did play the drums on this . Was it Ron
The drum style doesn't really sound like Charlie, but maybe it was him.

Charlie.
Fig didn't play drums on the album. According to Steve Jordan, neither did he.

Well Jordan sings the Gopsel acc. to KR, doesn't he? If Keef asks him to never admit he played on DW, who is he to disagree with the boss? Amen!
I really do think CW didn't play on "One Hit". After all he was barely able to stand up during the sessions and he once fell off his stool while the tapes were rolling.
So yeah Fig or Jordan played on "One Hit". My guess : Jordan. The songs has his muscular dynamic style.
We should ask Lillywhite who did what... but strangely he has refused to talk about the making of DW ever since it was released. The power of the Gospel again?

That's the one, DP. He had many signatures.I do miss him though.But maybe he's around here somewhere under a new signature. Who knows?
Sure about that? I didn't know...
As he was sort of going rogue with this DW-stuff, I thought that was his only moniker

Lacks the Jimmy Page guitar playing of the studio version which was the highlight of the tune for me, and which is impossible to replicate in a live setting without him.
Listening to studio version now and it all sounds outdated - the backup singing and mechanical sounding drums...not a favorite.

How can a solo long approximately 10 seconds make such a huge difference?

Of course Wiki isn't 100% reliable, but Fig is listed on "shakers" at the bottom of the page for Dirty Work, but then in the body of the article, it says both Fig and Jordan contributed drums to the album:Quote

So there might be two songs with Woody on drums on DW: Sleep Tonight and Too Rude..

That big, gated-reverb snare sound is more down to the '80s production than anything. I think Charlie is as capable of sounding like that as any drummer if the producer twiddles the knobs just so.Quote

That muscular hard-hitting style on One Hit, Charlie? C'mon! To me "One Hit" sounds like the very 1st track recorded by the Expensive Winos (with Wyman on bass of course). Same drive same adreline-driven drumming.
CW's style is far removed from this... Compare "Almost Hear You Sigh" on Steel Wheels (CW on drums) and the TIC outtake where Jordan is on the stool.
You'll see the difference...

Charlie Watts' involvement in the recording sessions was also limited; in 1994 Watts told Ed Bradley on 60 Minutes that during the 1980s he had been addicted to heroin and alcohol. Steve Jordan and Anton Fig play drums on some tracks; Ronnie Wood plays drums on "Sleep Tonight". Jagger would later cite Watts' personal state as one of the reasons he vetoed a tour in support of Dirty Work in 1986, preferring to start work on his second album, Primitive Cool (1987).[citation needed]
Oh I know, that's why I take what's on there with a grain of salt. The more I listen to the song, the more I can be convinced it actually is Charlie aside from the crash/snare hits.Quote

Drums and percussion are mixed up all the time on "credits" like these.
+ that you and I can claim on Wikipedia that we played drums on DW
Jordan has stated that he didn't play drums. I believe Fig only did percussion. I don't recognise his style in there.

‘Too Rude’: KR (voc, gtr)/RW (gtr, bass)/Steve Jordan (dr)/Jimmy Cliff
(bvoc)/Chuck Leavell (p)
If that's Charlie on drums, I'm Bill Gates.
I don't know...it was mentioned before that Charlie didn't drum on the track, so I took it as gospel, but after listening a few times earlier, I'm pretty sure it's him.Quote

Not sure how anyone can hear that it isn't Charlie when it has his signature time keeping.

I meant for One Hit. Too Rude I always thought was Ronnie but Ronnie has only ever talked about Sleep Tonight.
