His clatter was endlessly fantastic (7,5)
I believe the answer is:
charlie watts
'his clatter was endlessly fantastic' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'his clatter was endlessly fantastic' is the wordplay.
'endlessly' means to remove the last letter.
'fantastic' is an anagram indicator.
'his'+'clatter'+'was'='hisclatterwas'
'hisclatterwas' with its last letter removed is 'hisclatterwa'.
'hisclatterwa' anagrammed gives 'CHARLIE WATTS'.
