Pat burst out of clubland obscurity when he recorded the hit "Summer of ‘69" with Bryan Adams and toured the rocker's Reckless album around the world and back again to his Vancouver home. It was a wild time for the quiet, unassuming drummer whose influences range from Zeppelin, Rush, Deep Purple and the Police to jazz greats including Tony Williams.
Since those times with Adams, Pat has made his mark with the musically hip and sonically astute pop-rockers The Odds, kicked out barnstorming blues and rock with Aussie singer Jimmy Barnes, and he’s shuffled his way from coast to coast across Canada with blues/swing guitarist extraordinare, Colin James.
