His musical roots stem from both Jazz and Rock. Says Clive: "I was initially taught by jazz drummers in 1974. Being 13-14 years old at the time I was very much inspired by Bonzo, Ian Paice and Mitch Mitchell. I allways had one foot in each musical genre and still do."



Clive Deamer joined Robert Plant in 2002 to record "Dreamland" as well as touring as part of the Strange Sensation. Clive’s unique percussion can also be heard on the 2005 release of Mighty Rearranger which features 12 original tracks by the band. Clive Deamer’s approach on the record is a blend of old school playing and the use of new computer technology.
