Will stones let him express his dynamic and energy within the band or will they expect him to replicate Charlie…?

Did the Stones expect Karl Denson to replicate Bobby Keys? Considering the current Sax-solos of BS & MY, obviously not ....

Curious how Midnight Rambler will sound.

I'm hoping for a little spunk, or snap, in the rhythm. A little bit more uptempo than normal.

And Bobby himself didn't replicate Mel Collins's sax solo on Miss You

Replacing the drummer, the engine. Replacing the sax soloist on half a dozen songs. There's really no analogy here whatsoever, is there?

What I feel has happened within the mechanics of the band, based on the theory that the pace of the band’s songs has been dictated by the interplay between Keith an Charlie.
I have felt that during the last 2 years of No Filter, Keith’s laying has improved as he has concentrated more on this playing and less on posing, consequently numbers like SFM, have been excitingly reborn in the interplay of Keith and Ronnie’s interplay, but numbers that are meant to be fast like ADTL or SSC sound sluggish, I’m hoping this might be excitingly remedied by the addition of Jordan….thoughts?

Tim plays the sax solo in Waiting On A Friend.
No not at all. Sax solos are be definition collateral, expected to be different every night, improvisatory, etc. Not true with the drummer of an iconic band whose distinctive sound is an integral part of the band's sound.Quote

The original question was to replicate Charlie's style - or to play within its own style. Therefore the analogy in the reply.

Discussing replacement of the sax soloists really adds nothing to the discussion of how the replacement of Charlie Watts will affect the Stones' sound.
