Blonde: we should get a drum machine Clem Burke: hold my designer shoes

[@HarryJoiner]

For what that song needed, that was perfect. It’s not like Steve Gadd could have added more to that. Beautiful feel.

[@sophiafake-virus2456]

It was constructed one drum overdub at a time

[@HarryJoiner]

Are you sure?

[@sophiafake-virus2456]

@@HarryJoiner Are you asking me?

[@themoddrummer4518]

As good as a player Clem was, I have heard that he was notoriously haywire in the studio and he’d have to record a section at a time and they’d splice them together. I always thought it was like a verse / chorus / bridge at a time, but it may have been bass / snare / hats 🤔

Thanks for this - I've been on a bit of a Blondie kick lately.

[@BolsaChicaRadio]

Speaking of being on a "kick" for Blondie for a while, studio rumor has it that in 1978 producer Mike Chapman wanted Clem Burke's "kick" drum to stand out so incredibly much over all the other tracks, that he physically had Burke re-track JUST his kick drum, in complete singular isolation, without playing any other drum in his kit, so Mike's mixdown engineers had FULL CONTROL of it's pounding level, without any bleed-through whatsoever from any other tracks, so they could PUMP that sound heavily into the final mix. I believe that rumor stands to be correct! BCRadio

[@Boleskinebeatz]

Looks and sounds like two snares then as opposed to just top and bottom micing? That said could just be the drum machine gently flamming with the real snare.. sounds great either way!

[@awordon9631]

There wasn't a drum machine on this record. It's all Clem Burke!

[@Boleskinebeatz]

@@awordon9631 Actually there was, read the interview with Clem Burke it’s quite illuminating..

[@awordon9631]

@@Boleskinebeatz woah! I just went by the Rock Legends episode on Blondie. Thanks

The snare was passed through an EMT250, an early digital reverb machine (as were Debbie Harry's vocals).

[@bobbythompson4268]

He didn’t do this in one take. It’s a bunch of takes spliced together. I need to learn this for a show, and I think it’s a little out of my range.

No. I don't have the tracks for this song.

im just picturing him recording all the parts one at a time, probably bored as hell when he was doing the kick

[@HouseofVasoline]

Ive been trying to get a looped sample of the roland intro to this track forever.. I dont suppose you have one do you?

[@drum_tracks]

You yourself can loop it in an audio editor.

[@misfit2022]

Clem Burke seriously underrated but he has done much better stuff than this on earlier albums especially Plastic Letters. On PL his drumming personality was curtailed by Mike Chapman.

[@sophiafake-virus2456]

Didn't the producer make him lay it down one drum at a time, because the drummer has bad time.

[@gboschini]

I think it was more the guy sticking to a secuence... Which was rather new in the 70s... Nowadays is almost mandatory for drummers to play against some sort of secuence... But back then... It was the way to do it

[@sophiafake-virus2456]

@@gboschini nope, he built it up, overdubbing one drum at a time, against a click track

I dont think I have EVER heard of Clem Burke being accused oh having bad time.

[@sophiafake-virus2456]

@@brackguthrie9470 Early Blondie was a ramshackle affair, live, and the producer didn't reckon the drummer. This was in the days before sequencing. Clem was furious with him, but it got them a hit album.

Back when it was really easy to be a drummer

[@rjcelli]

Have you seen the docs about this song? It was anything but easy for Clem to play the drums for Heart of Glass.
