In their heyday, who was the better drummer?
Charlie Watts or Chris Curtis?

No contest there ED, it would have to be Charlie

Charlie has got to be one of the finest drummers ever, bar none. However, IMHO, The Searchers' records were not produced very well. With better production, perhaps CC's chops would have had more meat to 'em, thereby showcasing his talent a bit better.

But remember Chris took care of some singing too, something e.g. Charlie Watts didn't have to think about. That would make a difference!(?)

I'm not sure I'd like to hear Charlie sing!
