Cattini is one of the most prolific drummers in UK recording history, appearing on hundreds of recordings, including featuring on a record 45 different UK number one singles.

Clem was considered for Led Zeppelin on a couple of occasions . He was initially on Jimmy Page's shortlist of drummers when forming the band, before they settled on John Bonham. Also at a later stage he was once asked to join Led Zeppelin for a brief spell in 1975 but turned down the offer.
