I had the honor and pleasure of being on the other side of the camera recently, as a guest on "Drummers Eating Pizza" Podcast. DEP Host Jon Adams and his son Liam came to my Drum Room and we had a fun chat about drums, drummers and my life in the Drum Industry, followed by some delicious pizza! So come along for the ride and be sure to check out other episodes of Drummers Eating Pizza and subscribe to his channel! @DrummersEatingPizza413

*This show was recorded on February 21, 2025. A few days later, I learned my friend and mentor Glyn Thomas, had passed away. Glyn hired me at Simmons Drums in 1985, and was largely responsible for my career in the Music Industry, as referenced in this and other interviews. This show is dedicated to Glyn Thomas. Rest in Peace, Glyn.

In this episode, John’s guest is the great Clem Burke. Clem talks about his formative years playing snare drum and later bass drum in The Bridgemen Drum & Bugle Corps, playing in rock bands as a teenager, the New York club scene in the 70s and joining Blondie in 1975. Blondie’s recent sold-out tour and newly released archival box set, “Against The Odds.” John and Clem do a deep dive into Clem’s signature drum parts on several Blondie tracks, as well as Clem’s style, technique and influences. Clem also discusses receiving his Honorary Doctorate from the University of Gloucestershire, and his gigs with the Eurythmics, Romantics, the Ramones, Go-Go's, the Empty Hearts and more.
