Pat Torpey –
Musician, singer/songwriter, paradiddler.
December 13, 1953 – February 7, 2018.

Most recognized for: Although skilled at multiple instruments, Pat’s bread & butter was his drumming. He played with Robert Plant, Montrose, and The Knack, but is best known as the rhythm man for 80’s hard rockers Mr. Big… who (surprisingly) continue to record & tour. Ever since his 2014 diagnosis, Pat’s been trying to shake off a case of the Parkinson’s… but just couldn’t beat it.
