About Me


What's happening; my name is Patrick O'Donnell, and I'm a drummer and percussionist living in the Cleveland area. I've built up lots of experience on the drums, both onstage and in the recording studio. I've had the pleasure of working with lots of very talented people. I've got nearly fifteen years of experience behind the drumset.
I became the drummer for jazz-fusion group The Bodega Project in 2004. The following year, we recorded the full-length album Ostinato View at Cleveland's premier recording studio, Ante Up Audio. The title song was featured on the benefit album Mission to the Fatherless.
In the summer of 2005, I helped organize a Christian worship project called Pneuma. We participated in Cleveland's 2005 Real Music Competition, sponsored by 95.5 FM The Fish. Pneuma was a semi-finalist in the contest. We recorded an original song for the Real Music compilation album at Cleveland's Audioworks Studio.
In 2006, I became the live drummer for singer-songwriter Kate Voegele. I aided in the production of a headlining set of live music, and developed rhythm parts for then-unfinished songs. I traveled across the Midwest USA with Voegele, playing live to support her EP Louder Than Words. I continued to play with Kate Voegele until April of 2007.
This past winter, I provided the drums & percussion for new indie singer/songwriter Ian Shire. Check out the music in my friends list.
I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
