Welcome to the website of Washington, DC area drummer, Chip Clemmer. Enjoy your visit.

NOTE: The open jam at Sapphire Indian and Thai Restaurant will be starting up again on Thursday, April 1, 2010. Joining me in the house band like last time will be Chris Hall on bass and vocals, and Roy Brooks on guitar. The jam starts at 8 PM and runs until 12 AM.

The Tuesday jam at the Varsity Grille has been cancelled. The Sunday blues jam at the Old Bowie Town Grille has been cancelled until further notice. I will keep you posted as a new location is secured.

I would like to invite all of you to the blues jam that I host at the Old Bowie Town Grille on Wednesday evenings from 8 PM to 11 PM or later, depending on turnout. The more people show up, the later we play. I'm extremely fortunate to have a great house band consisting of Carl Cimino on keyboards, Charles Solomon on bass and Joe Poppen on guitar. Come on out and join us for some great food, drink and musical fellowship.

I am currently looking to expand my private teaching schedule. If you, or know someone who is interested in improving their drumming skills, have them contact me through the information on the "contact info" page. I accept students of all abilities from beginners looking for regular instruction, to professionals looking to fine tune certain aspects of their playing on an occasional basis.

Chip Clemmer proudly uses Paiste Cymbals, Evans Drum Heads, Pearl Drums and Vic Firth drum sticks.
