Pat Novack

My name is Patrick, welcome to my website for drummers. If your like me you enjoy playing live music and your instrument of choice is a drum kit. We don't say set. Its a kit. Just like it isn't the big drum, its a bass drum. Anyhow this website is something for me to poke away at late at night when I am unable to bang on the drums. Not so much because of the neighbors all complaining. But more that my wife and daughter are asleep. So here we are, online looking to further my drumming skills with all you.

 

I didn't start playing until I was 47 years old (midlife crisis I guess) and now in my fifities I find the drums to be both enthralling and fun while challenging in both artisticly mentally as well as physically.

I started playing percussion in the 5th grade, I was the only one in the class that failed the music test in order to take on an instrument. I was so upset because I wanted to play the drums so badly. Well the teacher pulled me aside and handed me a brand new ludwig practice pad, and a brand new pair of sticks, Happiest day of my life.. see she figured no one in the class picked drums to play so it was only fitting, in my case MEANT TO BE. I played in my 1st Rock band in the 7th grade and we won the School Gong Show, which my parents got to hear me play the drum set for the first time. The next morning which was a Sunday, my Dad woke me up early so we could go pick up the Sunday News.. still confused why....My Dad looked at me and said "We're going to find you a Real drum set" see the one I was using was an old half put together borrowed kit from a friend at School. OMG I Could not believe what he just Told me.. Long story short We found a Slingerland kit out in West Bloomfield. 5 piece Blue Black swirl, all Zyldian cymbals . My God I was in heaven. He paid 650.00 back in 1978 that's a lot of money back then, I cherished them and as I got older I continued to use them in Every project I was involved in. In 1980 I placed 3rd in the Great American drum off at harpos, nearly 2400 drummers were entered. That's where I met a few big dogs and they carried me for a bit. In my Adult life I later sold the old Slingerlands in a garage sale of all things lol and I purchased a few other kits.. Premier Maple 5 piece Pearl Export with a Rack Ddrum Maple pocket kit, Finally my dream kit.. Ludwig Clear Vistalite, Bonham zep set, see Ludwig created these in 2012 limited kits were built, I was a lucky one,on a waiting list in a drum shop in Chicago and I made the purchase! Holy Moly what a kit 26" x14" Kick 14" x6" 10 lug superphonic 15" x12" rack 16x18" floor 18x18" floor Also Blue Olive badge I use Pearl direct drive Demon drive double pedal

I began playing drums in 1986. I wanted a drum set when I was 9 years old, but my parents insisted on me taking drum lessons at the local music store in Lincoln Park to see if I would stay interested before they would spend money investing in a drum set. So for $8.00 a week for 9 months I took a half hour lesson with my sticks and drum pad. Learning how to count and keep time until finally my teacher allowed me to bring one of my dads home made cassette tapes with the best of The Rolling Stones recorded from various albums and taught me how to play along with a solid beat in a real song. It was Shattered, followed by Jumping Jack Flash. Low and behold I got my first drum set that Christmas. Four years later I got my second set, now I could combine the two and have a double bass so I could play Led Zeppelin songs. I got the 1990 box set with 4 cassettes and learned how to play Bonham blues beats to headphones. My favorite drummers are John Bonham, Danny Seraphine from Chicago, and Keith Moon from The Who. Neil Peart is in a league of his own and is the one that I never could cover as good as I hear and feel it. That is my style, heavy beats with a LOT of fills. Over the last 20 years Ive had the pleasure of playing with a number of other musicians that allow me to do my thing and recreate sounds I can be proud of. Today I enjoy playing Boston, Journey, Police, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, and hundreds of other artists. I also enjoy singing lead and back up vocals……… I AM A MUSICIAN.
