Pat is recognized as one of today’s most accomplished and versatile drummers, having performed and recorded with a wide variety of artists from many genres of music including Gloria Gaynor, Patti LaBelle, Dee -Lite, Patti Smythe, and Glen Burtnik, as well jazz guitarist Ed Hamilton, and most recently the world music group Oko Jumu. His versatility extends to Broadway in New York City, having played such shows over the years as "A Chorus Line", "Grease", "Footloose" and "Dreamgirls". Whether it’s a "deep pocket" groove, or a creative, sophisticated fill, Pat delivers…with authority. Check out the MultiMedia section of Pat's home page for some examples of Pat in action.
He is also one of the most sought after educators and clinicians in the business. As a clinician and endorser for

"To sum it up", as MODERN DRUMMER stated: "You're sure to find Pat somewhere in New York, cymbal bag over his shoulder, and pedal grease on his sneakers!"
A word from the artists Pat has worked with:
"It’s always a pleasure working with Pat, with his tremendous groove and feel" — Gloria Gaynor
"I've been fortunate enough to work with a number of excellent drummers, including Jeff Porcaro, and Kenny Aronoff and Pat is right up there on my list. His drum solo on my song 'Liars Club' will forever give me chills." — Glen Burtnik
