Drumeo has shared a new video along with the following introduction:
“‘Get Off Of My Cloud’ is one of the quintessential Charlie Watts drum performances — a masterclass in groove, restraint, and rock ’n’ roll attitude. From the moment that unmistakable drum intro kicks in, Charlie’s playing takes over as the song’s heartbeat—steady, powerful, and unwavering. His groove brings a raw, rebellious edge that perfectly captures the spirit of the Stones.
Released in 1965 at the height of the Rolling Stones’ rise, ‘Get Off Of My Cloud’ was their defiant answer to the growing pressure of fame and expectation. And at the center of it all was Charlie Watts, proving that style doesn’t come from playing more—but from playing exactly what the song needs.
Join Drumeo’s Brandon Toews as he breaks down the grooves, fills, and nuances behind one of Charlie Watts’ most iconic performances—and discover why his drumming continues to influence generations of rock drummers.”
Charlie Watts was the drummer of the Rolling Stones from 1963 until his death in 2021. His first public appearance as a permanent member was in February 1963, and he remained with the band for 58 years until his death, at which time he, frontman Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards were the only members of the band to have performed on every one of their studio albums.
On August 24, 2021, Watts died from squamous-cell carcinoma at the Royal Brompton Hospital in Chelsea, London, at the age of 80, with his family around him.
