I think the set belongs to one of the player's brothers in Charlie's band, The A B C and D of Boogie Woogie. He uses it on the European dates they play.

Ah.. Would like to see some video of this show. Very high cool factor going on here!!

Just wanted to thank you, jespo for the post! Charlie Watts is one of my favourite drummers. He's steady and very cool. From what I've read about him he won't take any nonsense from a certain singer either. Charlie on one occasion, told Mr. Jagger, " I'm not the drummer in YOUR band, you're the singer in MINE!" Charlie then punched Mick in the nose. Basically, the altercation arose from Mick's arrogance. Anyway, thanks again.

Yes very cool pics thanks! I'd love to see a vid of him playing them too. Clapping Happy2

If you look carefully, there's a little lesson to be had... Note the drum key on the floor tom. Those are likely to be calf heads on those RK's. Calf heads are notorious for responding to ambient temperature and humidity. Experienced drummers know that; after you have a drum in-tune, you can alter the pitch of the entire drum by turning a single tension rod! All Charlie (or the owner,) has to do to tweak the heads during a performance is to give the one t-rod a quarter to a half turn or so. I got a kick out of seeing the key on the floor tom. It's an old-school/old-timer thing. A left-over from the days when all drums had 'skins' for heads. Love it.
