Sympathy for the Drummer: Why Charlie Watts Matters is both a gonzo
rush capturing the bristling energy of the Rolling Stones and the
times in which they lived and a wide-eyed reflection on why the
Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band in the World needed the world's
greatest rock 'n' roll drummer. Across five decades, Rolling Stones
drummer Charlie Watts has had the best seat in the house. Charlie
Watts, the anti-rock star an urbane jazz fan with a dry wit and
little taste for the limelight was witness to the most savage years
in rock history, and emerged a hero, a warrior poet. With his easy
swing and often loping, uneven fills, he found nuance in a music
that often had little room for it, and along with his greatest
ally, Keith Richards, he gave the Stones their swaggering beat.
While others battled their drums, Charlie played his modest kit
with finesse and humility, and yet his relentless grooves on the
nastiest hard-rock numbers of the era (Gimme Shelter, Street
Fighting Man, Brown Sugar, Jumpin' Jack Flash, etc.) delivered a
dangerous authenticity to a band that on their best nights should
have been put in jail. Author Mike Edison, himself a notorious
raconteur and accomplished drummer, tells a tale of respect and
satisfaction that goes far beyond drums, drumming, and the Rolling
Stones, ripping apart the history of rock'n'roll, and celebrating
sixty years of cultural upheaval. He tears the sheets off of the
myths of music making, shredding the phonies and the frauds, and
unifies the frayed edges of disco, punk, blues, country, soul,
jazz, and R and B the soundtrack of our lives. Highly opinionated,
fearless, and often hilarious, Sympathy is as an unexpected treat
for music fans and pop culture mavens, as edgy and ribald as the
Rolling Stones at their finest, never losing sight of the sex and
magic that puts the roll in the rock the beat, that crazy beat! and
the man who drove the band, their true engine, the utterly
irreplaceable Charlie Watts.
Rod Ismay has a passion (some would say obsession) for the Tour de
France. If you think you know someone who is obsessed, think again,
but fortunately Rod's issues found their natural home when his
native Yorkshire became the host for the 2014 Grand Depart. Rod
also has another passion - as well as cycling he is quite keen on
bell-ringing, so why not combine the two? Why not get all the bells
ringing along the Tour route, why not organise countless events,
countless meetings, why not drag in churches far and wide, why not
involve your employer, your friends, your family, why not
photo-bomb five-time Tour winner Bernard Hinault? Rod threw
himself, his King of the Mountains jersey and his endless
enthusiasm head first into making this Grand Depart about as good
and memorable as it could be. Rod has written with passion about
Yorkshire, its people, those two stages of the world's greatest
cycle race and the churches, ringing their bells all along the race
route. If you like cycling then you will love this book. If you
know Yorkshire then you will read this book with pride. If you are
thinking of marrying a Tour de France obsessive then you need to
read this book first.
The author is a drummer with experience in a variety of musical
genres and contexts, with emphasis on rock and related styles. This
auto ethnographic Element presents the author's philosophy of
playing drum kit. The text explains how playing drum kit matters to
this musician and may resonate with others to whom making music
matters in similar ways. The Element contains audio files of music
in which the author plays drum kit in the ensemble settings
described. There are photos of the author's drums and of him
drumming. Based on June Boyce-Tillman's non-religious model of
holistic spirituality and Tim Ingold's notion of correspondences,
the author describes how playing drum kit enables him to experience
transcendence - the magical nexus at which Materials, Construction,
Values/Culture and Expression meet. Each of these domains, and the
magic derived from their combination, is illustrated through
examples of the author's live and recorded musical collaborations.
