About the drummer

Doug "Cosmo" Clifford was the drummer for Creedence Clearwater Revival, providing the "swamp rock" beat for many American classics. On "Bad Moon Rising," his straightforward and driving rhythm became an essential part of the song's identity. He is a key artist to study for those learning drums in the roots-rock genre.

Drummer style

Playing drums to his tracks requires a solid sense of timing and a "laid back" but powerful feel. His work is a staple in drum lessons for beginners and is a popular choice for classic rock drum covers.
