RIP Clem Burke :(

[Motorik]

Just saw the sad news that Blondie legend Clem Burke has passed away. I almost posted an appreciation thread about him last week, because he was probably my favorite drummer.

That sucks. He was imo the Mike Campbell of drumming - everything he played was exactly what the song needed.

RIP CB.

Yes, he was solid as a rock and a big part of their sound.
