About Me

Joe Clegg, drummer...
At the tender age of 24 Joe's 10 years of playing speaks for itself, with an impressive collection of live, studio, video and TV experience tucked firmly under his belt.
Joe has had the opportunity of touring extensively across the UK, Europe and recently the USA, ranging from club dates, radio shows, stadiums and music festivals to 20 thousand strong crowds. Add to his live experience studio recording, playing with legends such as Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers,) supporting Feeder, live broadcasts to over a million people on LA radio station KCRW, recording for the BBC at Maida Vale, working with acclaimed producers such as Guy Chambers and playing for the legendary producer Rick Rubin and you begin to get the full picture - Joe loves his job.
"This guy is a great drummer, I couldn't take my eyes off him." Rick Rubin.
Joe works for the team and plays for the song. His unique style has evolved over the years playing every stroke with passion and combining rock solid playing with flair and showmanship - adapting from hard hitting rock gigs or nu-jazz breaks, to the groove, feel and timing of pop.
Joe is available for touring and sessions worldwide.
