In my life, I have met so many people, connected my heart to so many others, all through this magical language. Drums are language, songs are energy. I believe in the magic of it. I fall on my knees in devotion to what is truly singing.It is one of the few things I can say with certainty, I know.9 min

About Bliss and Drumming: The Slow Enlightenment of the Hard Rock Drummer
From the publisher's feed
Clementine Moss is a dynamic creative force—a drummer, songwriter, singer, musician, and writer whose artistic journey continues to inspire and evolve.
Her latest work, Nothing Will Keep Us Apart, is a 7-song pop/folk album that beautifully showcases her songwriting and vocal talents. The first single, “Your Love,” is set to release on December 10, 2024, and offers an intimate glimpse into her reflective, soulful sound.
“Most of my songs are about love, both for the other and the divine,” Clementine shares. “Where do we find light when so much feels dark? It’s only in love that we find freedom, even when holding to that truth isn’t easy. Exploring that difficulty is a favorite theme in this album.” Written alongside producer/bassist Robert Preston and keyboardist William Cameron, the track brings to mind the eclectic spirit of artists like Tom Waits, St. Vincent, and Norah Jones.
In 2025, Clementine will expand her repertoire with Clem & Clearlight, a jazz-infused collection of nine tracks crafted with guitarist and composer Daniele Gottardo.
As a drummer, Clementine’s powerfully emotive style brings unparalleled depth to every project. As the founding member of ZEPPARELLA, she honors the best rock drumming ever composed with her own raw intensity, accentuating the Motown heartbeat within Bonham’s iconic grooves. Over the past 20 years, she’s rocked Zeppelin covers and penned her own music, earning a guest spot in November 2023 with NBC’s Late Night 8G Band on *Late Night with Seth Meyers*.
Her 2023 book, From Bonham to Buddha and Back: The Slow Enlightenment of the Hard Rock Drummer, draws on writings from her blog, *Bliss and Drumming.* Through it, Clem explores the intertwining paths of spiritual practice and a music career. A contributor to Modern Drummer Magazine and more, she continues to reach readers with her insights.
A lifelong spiritual seeker, Clementine connects deeply to her true self as a performer. She finds insight through decades of Vipassana meditation, Advaita practices, and other meditation disciplines that center her life and work.
Beyond music, Clementine is a Depth Hypnosis Practitioner, an Applied Shamanic Practitioner, and a nondenominational Minister at the Foundation of the Sacred Stream in Berkeley, California, under the guidance of Isa Gucciardi, Ph.D. She holds a certificate in Contemplative Psychotherapy from the Nalanda Institute and is a Master of Morphic Awakening Energetic Healing Technique, which promotes energy healing on all levels. Sound healing and other modalities enrich her practice, enhancing her holistic approach to well-being.
