Joe Clements

I have been running and performing in the ‘Wild Nights’ professional function band for over fifteen years along-side my tenure as lead guitarist with the band ‘Amsterdam’ for nearly thirty years. During this time, I have hired and played with countless drummers and musicians for both bands. Joe, who I met and studied with at BIMM University, is an outstanding and passionate drummer and one who is committed to bringing his best performance to any gig or session. He is reliable, presents himself well and is great company to have around. I would highly recommend Joe to anyone seeking a professional drummer.

It is with great pleasure that I write this reference for Joe Clements, who performed as a drummer with The Firebirds for a short but highly impactful period. Joe is an exceptional musician whose talent, professionalism, and energy made an immediate and lasting impression. From the moment he joined us, he demonstrated not only technical skill and versatility on the drums but also a deep understanding of the musical style and spirit that define The Firebirds sound. Despite stepping in on short notice, Joe handled every rehearsal and performance with confidence and flair. His tight timing, dynamic playing, and rock-solid groove brought a fresh drive to the band, seamlessly complementing our rhythm section and enhancing every live show. Beyond his musical ability, Joe was a true team player — reliable, easy to work with, and always upbeat and respectful. Joe's brief tenure with us reminded us how valuable it is to work with musicians who bring both passion and professionalism to the table. I have no doubt that any band or musical project would benefit greatly from his involvement, and I wholeheartedly recommend him for any future opportunities.
