Put some Blondie on. Turn it up. Listen to the drums.

No! One of my favourite drummers of all time. Some of his stuff was truly amazing.

I was hoping to see him when Bootleg Blondie come to Galashiels this Christmas.

Big shame.

A really great drummer. In my teens I got to see Blondie in their heyday.ย 

All I really remember was my friend fainting in a crush when Debbie came to the front of the stage, and it being very loud.ย

He was always a great drummer and a part of one of my favourite bands of all time.

He's very busy on "Dreaming" and makes the drums sound so damn good :o)

Great drummer with a total Keith Moon infatuation. Lets hope those two meet up in the sky. RIP.

Sad to hear this. What a drummer and so important to the Blondie sound.

Seventeen years old, Barbarella's in Brum crammed against the stage I couldn't see much of Clem, could hear him though.ย
