I wanted to give a separate post on Patrick. He is one of the best drummers I have ever seen, and his ability has increased over the years. I don't think he gets the credit he deserves, and I want to simply point out how great he is. I love his intensity on IB4U and steam, but compound just put it over the top. I feel like he is the most appreciative of the bands success, and,I can't wait to see him live again.
Pat- you are a stud. You are the pulse of the band.

I second that... Animalistic driving force, he is!
While most of his beats are basic and simple, he truly possesses a single attribute that a lot of drummers fail to replicate: Timing. This is especially noted live. It's not how you play the notes, it's how you rest between, and Patrick is absolutely clutch when it comes to this.
:drum:
More importantly, the guy is genuinely having fun and it shows....
Met his parents at OBH I, what a nice couple sweetest damm people you would ever wanna meet and they were having a blast...
I concur, his fills are out of this world and on tempo. I saw a bad called dedelectric the other day and their drummer was terrible. if he was doing a beat the band sounded great but he was do extended fills and stuff and losing his rhythm and everything would go to shit. And that is why you have to appreciate man who does the clock arms and can time making a latte by tapping his foot. Patrick is a badass!

Just watched the Compound Fracture performance on Fallon and I agree 100%. There is a split second at the beginning of the song where it is only drums and bass before the guitars and keys come in. I am really hoping they extend the drums/bass intro for the live shows because it sounds great.

How cool - meeting his parents at OBH. That's even cooler that he brought them down!!!
Yeah that really makes it cool...taking his parent to OBH is so cool.
