Drummer PAT Simmons studied percussion under rock veterans Randy Carr (Social Distortion) and Ralph Humphrey (Frank Zappa). For the past decade, Pat has been a staple of the L.A. indie band scene with groups like ASHiD, Fragment and Vyrus, in addition to his work as a session player and on-call side man for various local bands. Pat also works as drum tech and right-hand man for the legendary Simon Phillips (The Who, Toto, Jeff Beck, etc.). Pat is leaving behind a teaching credential, an MA in education, and 10 years in the educational field to pursue a life in music, and to help take thornbird to new heights as not only its powerhouse drummer but also its manager.~~
