Pat Petrillo

Pat is widely recognized as one of today's most prolific drummers, and a world class clinician. Whether it's a deep pocket Funk, or swampy Roots groove, or a fiery fusion fill, Pat can bring it all together with musicality, finesse, and uncanny technical ability. He has performed and recorded with a wide variety of artists in numerous genres, from R&B legends Gloria Gaynor and Patti LaBelle, to Pop/Rock artists Glen Burtnik and Patty Smyth, to smooth jazz artists Ed Hamilton and Gerald Veasley. He has also played the original Broadway productions of A Chorus Line, Grease, and Footloose, as well as a national tour of Dreamgirls. Groovallegiance is Pat's newest project, featuring bassist Gary Grainger, Guitarist Chieli Minucci, and keyboardist David Cook.
