Famous drummer may finish spangled (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

starry

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'spangled' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'famous drummer may finish' is the wordplay.
'famous' becomes 'star' (I've seen this before).
'finish' says to take the final letters.
The last letters of 'drummer may' are 'ry'.
'star'+'ry'='STARRY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for starry that I've seen before include "''..., ... Night'' (Don McLean's Vincent)" , "with many famous actors" , "'Of cloudless climes and - - skies' (Byron)" , "Description of Orion" , "like Hollywood Boulevard?" .)
