Was he a West Ham supporter?
West Ham supporter? He played at the back for us for 40 seasons, come on Gank keep up!

Just because he wasnt AC-DCs drummer doesnt mean he's not well known by music fans with a more discerning taste!

Drumming in 'Call me' is simply genius. 
 
He was a one off from a Punk/New Wave perspective..

His drumming in Atomic is sublime - esp the riff as he comes back from the bass solo at about 2:50 

Blondie - Atomic (Official Music Video)

Just watched the Dreaming Video - Wow he really goes for it - amazing!

Blondie - Dreaming
Magic stuff, mate. 

All excellent drumming performances. I picked Call Me because the snare snaps and rolls are just mind blowing. 
 
He was famous for how hard he hit those drums and how loud he was! Guy was a genius. Fucking cancer 🤬!!!
