If I was his daughter, I would have kept her dad's iconic drum set. That would have been priceless to me.

I love the photo of Charlie and Shirley!

[@My_Weekend_Adventures]

Yeah a real nice addition.

[@michaelvaladez6570]

He was a true English gentleman. And boy a very serious book collector. And his iconic drum set.With no children and bo family o5her than his immediate family it would be time to sell his collection for the serious collector. May he rest in peace as well as his wife.

[@Hudson1910]

He and Shirley had a daughter named Seraphina.

@@My_Weekend_Adventures Thankyou for your reply I am glad to hear his family are the beneficiaries.

This might have had more views and interest if you'd given some context either as subtitles or commentary. For example: one of Charlie's books, a signed first edition of 'The Great Gatsby' sold for £226,800. The dog earred collection fetched £3.8m in total.

[@peterblack3665]

His drum set was never flashy in the true sense of rock drummers. It was functional and basic like Ringo Starr’s........and I guess that is where the less is better thought comes from with Charlie’s drum set....

[@My_Weekend_Adventures]

Spot on no need for endless toms and 6 cymbals, keep it simple, no ego needed.

[@steffigavin9152]

I know it's life but seeing this made me sad. Does anyone know the approximate amount gleaned from the auction?

[@lumpygravy52]

No Stones stuff?

[@My_Weekend_Adventures]

No just his personal collection of books and jazz memorabilia.

[@stephenfisch615]

If they ever have one of these auctions with Bill Wyman’s collection, there could be a ton of Stones things in that.

[@My_Weekend_Adventures]

@@stephenfisch615 Yeah real shame he had to shut his diner, all that stuff is now in storage i bet.

[@Tubemanjac]

Charlie had only one musical love: Jazz, The Stones he saw as a regular job.

[@billw5189]

In his own words, Charlie Watts in no way considered his working with the Stones to be, “A regular job.” To the contrary, Charlie loved his band mates and being a part of the RS. It’s probably fair to say that Charlie preferred playing Jazz to R&R, all things being equal, but playing with the Stones is not an equal. Geez
