Clem Burke is a world-renowned drummer, Grammy award winner, member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and most recently the recipient of an Honorary Doctorate of Music by the University of Gloucestershire for his groundbreaking involvement in the Clem Burke Drumming Project.
Clem first started playing the drums at age 14 in the School orchestra and is quoted as saying he got ‘chucked out’ for playing the drums too loud! Throughout his remaining teenage years he found himself playing in high school bands and developing a style of play that would become his trademark as a world class musician.
In the mid-1970’s Clem answered an ad in the New York newspaper Village Voice where a band was seeking a ‘Freak energy’ rock.
