Sad to hear that famed UK drumming legend Clem Cattini died yesterday at 89... Most never knew they were listening to him. From Johnny Kidd & the Pirates’ “Shakin’ All Over” to Cliff Richard’s “Devil Woman,” Clem’s drumming helped shape British rock. #ClemCattini #OneHitWondered

I have just heard that Clem Cattini has died. The drummer on Shakin’ All Over and Telstar and hundreds more hits was a joy to talk to in 2019, full of good stories and modest about his own part in them. I’ve written a tribute here #clemcattini thestrangebrew.co.uk/clem-cattini...

Clem Cattini’s session work reached across generations: Donovan’s “Hurdy Gurdy Man,” Cliff Richard’s “Devil Woman,” records by Dusty Springfield, Lou Reed and so many others. More than 40 UK #1 singles featured his playing. That’s quite a legacy to leave behind #ClemCattini #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

Very sad news.
RIP #ClemCattini. THE SESSION DRUMMER. A powerhouse. Not surprised that he was Page's first choice for Led Zeppelin.
Think I am right in stating this. He played on more British number 1's than any other musician. Take a look at his Wikipedia page for some of the people he worked with.

Apollo 100 studio drummer Clem Cattini is actually a two-time honoree! Clem had been a member of The Tornados, who earned US #OneHitWonder honors in 1962 when “Telstar” spent 3 weeks at #1 on the US #Billboard #Top40. #ClemCattini #Apollo100 #TheTornados #OneHitWondered

Drummer Clem Cattini powered the Tornados single and then went on to become one of the great studio-musicians in UK history, playing on dozens of British #1 hits… for everyone from the Kinks to Dusty Springfield to Apollo 100 & beyond. #Apollo100 #ClemCattini #OneHitWondered

#QuickSidenote Joe Meek is revered, not because of one specific song… more for how he thought about the studio: Treating the studio as an instrument in itself, early experimentation with reverb, close-miking, tape editing, & primitive ‘sampling.’ #JoeMeek #ClemCattini #OneHitWondered
