Here’s a few photos of Pat in action from the gig in Sydney on 21 June.  I like the progression of the blur showing an increasing frenzy of movement.  To see the intensity of his drumming not wavering after an 1.5 hours of playing is really inspiring, so committed, with great unintentional drummer gurning (face pulling) throughout.

I can only hope that one day Pat might have a drum battle with Animal from the Muppets (if Animal comes out of retirement) like Buddy Rich did in the video I’ve posted here below.  Now that would be something I’d pay to see!

Animal v Buddy Rich. If only we could have Animal v Pat Carney…
