And yes, I never heard Kenny Jones, just listened to this random clip on YouTube
[youtu.be]
And at first listen this would suit the Stones sound much better.

I wonder what the process for choosing Steve Jordan for this tour were and how long they had to sort out a replacement for Charlie. I know the official line is that he was Charlie's choice but I take those PR statements with a pinch of salt to be frank. It may be that there were limited options given the time frames. Obviously, Jordan is a very accomplished professional, was known to them and acceptable to Keith, in particular, and available. May be there wasn't time and head space to think of much more than that, let alone finding someone whose sound was more aligned to theirs.

To recap:
You go on and on and on (and on) about the drumming, plugging up any related thread, and even create a new one called "Drummers".
Yet just now, for the first time, you discover who Kenny Jones is, and based on whatever "random clip on YouTube" he sounds "much better" to you.
Sound about white?

Being Jim Keltner available, the choice of Steve Jordan seems a little bit strange to me. Maybe, they’ve decided to go the easiest way...

Question: Will Steve Jordan use Charlies drumset in order for him to sound like Charlie? I doubt that a Yamaha will sound like Charlies Gretsch.

How anyone could tell nuances like this in a big football stadium is beyond me.
Of course he will use his own drums. This is a professional drum player not some @#$%& they pull up out of the audience because their drummer is fcuked up and cannot continue.

Never heard Kenny Jones? He's playing on It's Only Rock and Roll
So, Steve Jordan was selected as the touring drummer. But, because you don't like him, you want the Stones to have a contest and audition other drummers, but also keep Steve Jordan sitting around just in case he does win this contest? Good lord.Quote
jumpingjackflash5
Yes. If Jordan does not improve during the fall tour, they should consider doing a contest for the new drummer, this time with enough time to choose. Mr. Jordan can be one of the candidates.
Again, for the millionth time, your opinion is based on a 60 second poorly recorded video from a cellphone. Do you not see the problem with that? What if there were other songs that weren't recorded where Steve sounded incredible and fit right in with the band and the crowd was loving it?Quote

But things in the drumming department need attention and further evaluation, for sure.

Several drummers would have been a better fit especially given the short tour.
Couple they could have borrowed that come to mind that I think would fit well are Zak Starkey and Abe Laboriel JR. Might Max Weinberg would likely fit well too as a short term rental.

Blasphemy, I know, but maybe Ringo could have sat in for this tour. This would be something you'd wanna see and hear.
