It is with sadness that I announce the passing of Clem Burke, longtime drummer in Blondie, The Romantics as well as a very brief stint in the Ramones. He recorded with Iggy and was a prolific session drummer. I was always impressed by the intensity of his playing, even in his later years. His hard hitting style was an influence on my own playing and along with Keith Moon, who he also idolized, was an inspiration for me in taking up the drums to begin with. Taken far too soon. RIP
Channelling Keith Moon...
